They knew what's what. They just avoided discussing it.

George, why are you giving people who will decimate the io9 ad revenue stream publicity?!?!?!

I recall General Grievous' droids having electrostaffs that were made of a light saber-resistant alloy but it was not really played up.

"Handless Blue Boy: Asian Style" sure sounds a lot dirtier than I think it was intended.

In a saner, more logical world, people would read what Cruz wrote, realize he shoved his whole foot in at least one orifice, and laugh his point off.

It's not like the KGB is unfamiliar with rewriting history.

The spiked helmet is another thing I don't like. Can be grasped, or allow the blow to deliver it's force instead of sliding off. All that energy has to go somewhere. It's along the same reasoning as the boob armour issue. Of course, protrusions such as a shield boss or shield spike are good, because arms are better at…

It's more than a handle, it's a catch point that allows the force of a blow to end up tweaking the neck inthe wrong direction. But yes, very good stuff about the Romans there.

This probably isn't helping.

Well, I'd be reassured if the beef patty weren't white.

If I remember correctly it required you to increase your strength by 4 from when you first attempted to pull it out. You could potentially never be able to retrieve it if your first attempt was too high.

That's not a bad way to approach it as well. And remember "however" is just a fancy but.

Very nicely put, thanks for the follow-up! Yes, I certainly didn't mean to imply that Phillip was necessarily the originator of those ideas, merely that his putting them into practice paved the way for his much better-known-son.

"I have to confess I'm not a gamer. And when they sent me the contract for the very first game, it was quite lucrative, and I said 'absolutely, I will do this.' I thought it was going to be like PONG, and I would just have to introduce it."

Yep welcome to our world PS4 users. We get ports that are basically console level graphics, sometimes worse (buggy and whatnot).

They don't know what "green" is.

Gosh, I feel like a virgin: Does it fits? Where is that going? Are those normal sounds? WTF? ...isthatblooddon'ttellme.

Interestingly, the first non-sponsored hit for Elmiraj is NY Daily News complaining about the name change.
