This would probably be a very effective demoralizing-type weapon during the Middle Ages.

Which game if I might ask?

The mocap in Happy Feet didn't do it for me. A bit too uncanny, such utterly human motion.

Nintendo loves that people do this, as it has no doubt lead to many a sale (hello sales lady, Timmy wants a Nintendo) but as others have said they have to keep appearances if they don't want to be a generic trademark and go the way of Aspirin.

I love/hate CK for this kind of humor. He's right, it is amazing that you're flying. But it's so hypocritical because I just know Louis is doing the same thing. He's not sitting in first class screaming of amazement, but is just kicking back and reading his itinerary or something. It just bugs me, because I know on…

I'm loving this season so far. Change is the theme of it all and it works great. Everyone has a new role: Addicted NeedWant Amanda, Angry E-Rep Tommy, Datak Fallen From Grace, Stahma With Power, etc. Everyone except Nolan, who's lack of change and thus representation of the old days is messing with everyone's heads.

Exactly. Datak is only smart when he is in natural surroundings. When he's in prison he just becomes desperate, because he can't handle the lack of power, etc.

This. According to the code you shouldn't pull down a flag from a post and start wiping your ass with it, but if you just print it on toilet paper its okay.

I thought it ended strongly as well, with the whole conspiracy in Washington and the sacrifice of the captain. Sadly it was too late.

Agree. While the movie is fun, the switch makes it too much like it's two separate movies.

It wasn't always a video game company. Since it went public in 1962, it has not only dabbled in video games but also in physical games, the taxi business, love hotels, TV and most importantly instant rice. This guy above might've put all of his hard-earned 1960s money into the promise of instant rice only to see his…

A fun fact that I'm reminded by every time I see something about the ISS is that for my entire life (aka 1989 onward) there has always been at least one human in space, except for several months between the end of Mir and the start of ISS. The idea of always having someone looking down on us like that is just…

It was actually named after a local name for the island, not after a local tribe. The Lenape's Manna-hatta translated to Island of Many Hills.

You mean the Netherlands, which is just north of Belgium. And yes, living below sea level is no problem at all if you do it right. New Orleans was caused by bad infrastructure funding, which wouldn't be a problem on the front doorstep of Wall Street.

I wouldn't mind Cassini-Huygens like missions to Neptune and Uranus. An orbiter that explores it for ages and a lander that explores the most interesting moon. It's just so crazy that almost all our info on those planets was gotten from a few missions in the 70s.

I wonder what the superhero movie genre would look like if 9/11 hadn't happened, as the genre's popularity is often attributed (in part) to that event. The whole power fantasy thing, that was needed after that attack on America's heart, you know.

I noticed that many of my favorite games that I played in the first half of 2014 were released in 2013. I played them because I didn't have time before, didn't get into them until this year or they had some good patches/upgrades. And I don't think I'm alone in this. There has been a massive shift in game consumption,…

The US has been doing that since the mid 19th-century at least. With power comes abuse. Every powerful country has abused its power, destabilized other places to keep/get ahead themselves, etc. Great Britain, Japan, the Soviet Union, France, the list goes on an on. The only difference with the US now is that it's on a…

Get Troy back, at least for a few episodes and I might be interested.

No wonder. GOG should've done a big sale a week early or something. Also Steam has a bit of a game to it with the teams, badge crafting, cards, etc. That draws attention.
