they want justice (...) victims want vengeance.

Oblivion is my favorite film score of all time. When I hear it, I just feel transported. If this game gives me those vibes, it'll be worth it.

I’ll take you one further and point out that over-population is not and has not ever been a problem. Rather, the problem is artificial scarcity created intentionally by the extremely wealthy and powerful who hoard resources for themselves while damning the rest of us. We already produce more food than the entire world…

They need something to get people in the theater. Without the twist, it’s just an extremely generic revenge flick. They want this to launch multiple franchises, so didn’t want to take a chance on whether people would show up for something so bland and hope word of mouth on release would draw more people in. Movies…

So, could you tell me about Loom?

Oh, absolutely. And not just limiting in terms of talking to strangers, but also harshly strict about interactions with the opposite sex. For a stunning number of people in that culture, the only person of the opposite sex they will have any meaningful interaction with for the majority of their youth/young adulthood…

In “fairness,” incest is a major fetish in Japan. Like... disgustingly major. It crops up A LOT. And it’s stunningly casual, too - like, if they’re *only* cousins, it’s hardly even remarked on. If it’s a step-sibling? Forget it, they are going to f*!#. Can’t be helped.

That’s only because humans are the ones writing the stories. We’re extremely biased narrators. I imagine if a Korugaran was writing GL comics, they might have a somewhat different point of view.

So it’s how the ‘10s imagines the ‘80s imagined the ‘90s.

The thing that bugs me the most is their insistence that there’s no good drama in a loving relationship, as if everything interesting just stops once you both commit to each other. Beginnings and endings aren’t the only good parts of the story, dummies. Committed, healthy relationships aren’t boring - lazy writing is…

ended like How I Met Your Mother

I want this game badly. As somebody who is about to celebrate 19 years with my wife (it’s our 50/50 anniversary - 19 y.o. when we met, 19 years together; from here on we’ll have been a couple longer than we were apart) I have long wished more fiction and games would focus on lasting, dedicated relationships rather…

For one thing, our cartoons were a hell of a lot better than what people have to put up with now

This was the same night he sat next to Chris Tucker to “prove we aren’t the same person,” right? That was a hell of a show.

Which means I can use Cassie Cage to beat the ever-loving sh!t out of Vic Mignogna. Sounds like a win to me.

You’d have to endure a mountain of high-fives and back-pats.

That was a LONG time ago. Iceman was still in X-Factor at the time and yeah, he wore this huge, clunky, WWE Championship looking belt to control his powers for a while. Then it all just... kinda... went away. Such is the short, selective memory of comics.

They started digging into his power potential much earlier than Ultimate X-Men. Way back in ‘94, Emma Frost took over his body and showed all kinds of things he’d never known he could do - controlling all forms of moisture, including internal bodily fluids, travelling as a liquid or gas (like, transmuting his whole…
