He's done a lot of good work, I'd like to stress that, but like many others he's too in love with reductionist theories and many of his conclusions are iffy at best. My main objection is that referencing him in this context shows a considerable lack of forethought, which makes me dubious of the entire project…

The neurologist Simon Baron-Cohen argues that there are two kinds of brains: one hardwired for empathy and one hardwired for building and understanding systems. (The former is usually a female brain and the latter a male brain, in Baron-Cohen’s account – but let’s put that aside for now.) He writes: “Empathizing is…

Um. Yeah. That one is also my fault.

Freestyle Mutating.

Maybe People should take the time to understand the complain before criticizing.

Steam and PSP!

Yup i see it... it's just missing the legs :P

I wish more covers looked like this. Less chin down eyes up, more art direction.

This one is actually my favorite.

It ain't an Ultra Combo discussion without a mention of Killer Instinct:

WRYYYYY

There was this space invaders game for winos a while back that used random files as enemies, when you destroyed them it would delete the file. Was fun to do a fresh install on a machine and see how long you could play before something critical was deleted.

What if you kill an enemy and the original file is deleted?

The cons I've been to have been really respectful with regards to more revealing cosplay. I've never heard someone called a slut, and I wouldn't expect to.
