As far as I know, Oriental is still fine for things. The thing about it is the term carries the ideas of “exoticism”, “far away” and/or “mysterious”. For an object like a rug, I think it’s an acceptable term. In the EU, I think Oriental is still an acceptable term, though not having personal experience of being an…

Coming from a D&D background, I have to remind myself that “Oriental Adventures” used to be a thing that I was totally excited over. I try not to get too worked up over people using the term, but when people get defensive about it and say that they are using the correct term (over “Asian”) I get a little miffed. When…
Except when we have to deal with the folks who refer to all of us as “Orientals”.
My guess would be anyone who didn’t have the half hour’s worth of time to go about putting it back on, and they really needed to go. XD
Yep. But without reading the headline and only viewing the image, that’s the first thought that popped into my head.
My first thought: Why do they have an image of Darth Vader wthout any pants on...?
Reminds me of my days as a professional model maker (the models you make out of museum board, plastic and wood) when we experienced tight deadlines-- all the caffeine in the world can keep you up “working,” but if your hands are shaking so much that you can’t effectively and cleanly put together a 1/8" scale model,…
In my opinion, it’s likely gear. With a game like World of Warcraft, the *only* way to improve your attributes is by picking up increasingly harder to find loot that modify your stats and spell like abilities. For RPGer’s who strive to want to improve their character, that bottleneck is maddening, especially if the…
This story had me laughing out loud. Thank you for the share!
I use Cottonelle TP, which tends to be 2 ply and fairly thick. For the first wipe, two sheets folded over twice. For each following wipe I use 1 sheet folded over twice (to a square 1/4 the size it was originally). Altogether I use about 7-8 sheets per crap.
Also, I tend to eat a lot of veggies (so sometimes I can get…
This is the beginning of the Tleilaxu and their axlotl tanks. We should all be extremely wary when dog chairs and sligs make an appearance.
One of the reasons why playing as the mobile horse archer lady is a huge advantage in the early game. The horse archers are weak AF, but their ability to spawn in twos and hunt down the early barbarian scouts is amazing.
I’ve gone through the game about fifteen times now. My first game was at launch, last game was about last month. The guys behind Long War 2 put out several other mods that make the game really worth playing (the soldier mod that gives you the new soldier types alone is *really* fun). I have some other things I need to…
Aw. I find the Kotaku humping to be absolutely endearing.
Bought this based on your review, so far having fun!
Wanted to point out: You *can* equip a tractor beam, but the catch is you have to find it first, then equip it swapping out your shield. =P
Man, thanks for that. My favorite class back in the day was the druid; I had three across three servers (and I quit shortly before the Pandaran Expansion). I’m always curious about what Blizzard sets up for them after each installment!
This allows me to hold off on jumping back in (god, you know I appreciate the time…
Ok, this is adorable.
Man, love this. I always hated people (even my own teammates) who said crap like “ez” or what have you in SC2.
If Colonization was a historically accurate video game, Alpha Centauri was one built on scientific accuracy.
I still have the manual (it’s sitting on my shelf for instant inspirational reading, for example) and it’s chock full of scientific facts about the Centauri system. Everything from its double star system (and…
