    PCs weren't originally intended for games either. I'm sure we'll see a lot of disparate evolution over the years across all console fronts.

    Ja, mein freunde.

    That's Duke Nukem you're thinking of.

    I think it's a good example of how games really are an extension of their platform more than some people would like to admit.

    If it was a guy I'd say the exact same thing, honestly. Superman's asking for a punch in the nuts, as is whoever designed this costume.

    There are games that do quite well on the platform, but I'd hesitate to call the majority of them more than time sinks. The only consoles-to-handheld games that do really well, in my opinion, are the strategy games.

    The whole point of military uniforms is to appear uniform and serve a function, a function that isn't the cover of the Maxim swimsuit issue.

    The same goes for men, unless they're supposed to be ugly.

    How about The Deer Hunter 2014?

    Those angles, though. Like a number of superhero getups, this would be a terrible, terrible suit of armour for many reasons. What's the purpose of those tiny pouch-things, and what the hell is that maladjusted strap for?

    The trick to winning Dark Souls is to imagine that you're playing Starcraft.

    Of course not. It's anything but dignified.

    Rain has the potential to screw with your body's ability to properly regulate internal temperature, which in turn depletes important immune-boosting resources, which opens the door to said bacteria.

    Nothing. It's pretty common in a number of sports. The training, uniforms, uniform haircuts, and character-boosters like the above are the cohesive team elements.

    This person should stand on the street and publicly apologize to everyone.

    Not necessarily. Uniformity can be a boon for team cohesion. It's the same reason the military does it, and any other organization where "we" is more important than "I".

    This is the Marine Corps "Old Faithful" equivalent. It's not really supposed to serve a greater purpose beyond "You screwed up. Don't screw up again."

    It's pretty common in many sports, to be honest. I backstopped in a number of ice hockey leagues, and people spat all the time. Granted it was mostly water or Gatorade, and granted that's not the end of the world considering it just melds with the playing surface.

    In the right circumstances, yes. In comedic roles, the guy's great. In serious ones, well ... let's just say his take on SEAL Team 6 left something to be desired.

    Any idea who's playing the lead? Or has that even been established yet?
