LA Noire had that problem (though it had plenty of others as well): A realistic set of noir-ish detective stories that are casually interspersed with the protagonist shooting a dozen criminals to death. At one point you get demoted because of your handling of a serial-killer case, but you'd think they'd be more…

I know this is the wrong takeaway, but… Dennis Hopper is dead? Holy shit I totally missed that.

Except when she's on all those performance-enhancing drugs.

I remember GW's "gee, where are the weapons of mass destruction?" joke. Hey, I started a pointless war that will lead to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. Ain't I a stinker?

No one who dislikes Clinton is voting for her now

I have to admit, reading that just brightened my afternoon considerably.

I don't know. I found it creepier when I finally saw than when I was just reading about it. That weird camera shift and vocal modulation is… disconcerting to me.

I wouldn't worry about the net. It looks like it can fend for itself.

"Of course! It's all so simple. Wait, no it isn't. It's needlessly complicated."

Genysis lost me in the first two minutes when Kyle Reese turns to John Conner and says, basically without prompting, "When all this is over, I want to rebuild my parent's house". It reminded me of that "I just want my kids back" throwaway line in Arrested Development, with delivery just as comically stilted. And the…

As sequels go, I don't think its similarities are particularly egregious. Yes, there's another terminator—but would anybody want to see a Ghostbusters sequel without ghost busting, or a Rocky movie without a training montage and climactic ring sequence?

I don't disagree with either the protest or the method—I just wish it had been done by a better quarterback.

It's mentioned in T2 (and maybe T1 too?) that the flesh and skin placed over the metal skeleton is actual human material that ages and everything. So I guess it depends on whether your definition of cyborg is "originally human" or "some combination of human and machine systems".

I'm sorry, but this is not a valid opinion.

"console exclusive games are made to move hardware, not build a fan-base or make a great game."

As the New York Times expert contact for pool cleaning information, he's probably been waiting years for this moment.

If you're in the States and can't stand NBC's coverage, you can use a VPN like Unblock.me to attain a UK IP address, and thus watch BBC streams of all events. No ads, no feel good stories, no rah-rah nationalism, no sparse coverage of sports the US isn't good at, just sweet, sweet socialized mass media, where all the…

Really? Did anyone on the planet ever actually claim that? Because I seem to remember Gone Home getting some good reviews—followed by a bunch of hysterical backlash from Internet people worried their precious gaming culture was going to be overrun by stuff that didn't fit their narrow-ass definition of "game".

Nah, that part of the 90's didn't get erased. It's sitting on a set of floppy disks that are boxed up in the nation's garage.

There was that movie with Bruce Willis from 98, but that was still pretty long ago…
