From what I learned from the sci-fi cinema class I took awhile back, a lot of the trouble involved displeasure from the studio over the direction the film was going in terms of its dark theme and mystery-laden plot. They went as far as to force the addition of the Harrison Ford voice-over and even shoot a happier,…

Thank you for this. About the way I see it. I'm just kind of shocked by the number of people that get extremely hurt and see this point of view as an attack and less as a grounding.

People love the warm nostalgia and continued exploration of a sequel. I wouldn't chalk it up to stupidity as much as comfort and dedication to a concept. And people do buy into new ideas, even if maybe not in the numbers of the "2"s and "3"s. Of course, that just leads to another game likely of a sequel, so... the…

Yipes with the goof, especially having just said the title a paragraph back. -_- Chalk it up to being bad with names + both big comic label league of super hero themes.

Oi, Captain America, he's been a divisive figure in the comic work for awhile. I think that, much like Superman before a number of developments reinvigorated that character, he is a relic of a different time in super hero culture. I haven't seen the movie but know few who enjoyed it. I thought his Avengers movie…

To go straight to the question from the title: Games for Windows Live is more despise-worthy. Clippy is at least funny in a "ha ha it's a sentient paperclip" sort of way. GFWL is only funny in an "oh man this is terrible" sort of way. ... And then it breaks.

Seeing a psychiatrist is a prerequisite to having a sex change operation. Actually, a complex evaluative period is a large part of that process. If someone rushed into such a procedure, it would be a breach of protocol. As for the whole animal-person surgery, isn't that apples and oranges? We're not talking about…

If you were forced to live an identity that didn't match the gender you currently occupy, do you think that might provide the type a personally conflicting environment? This isn't just people getting plastic surgery for more than cosmetic purposes, it is about broad identity issues.

I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords of the year 2000. Let us comply with their mechanical wishes of meatbag servitude.

You should really read Naomi Klein's book "The Shock Doctrine." It can read a little preachy at times, but the content is right around the ballpark of what you're talking about, the growing business side of war. It also details some other profoundly disturbing turns in the business of reconstruction. Take, for…

I don't think people really do overlook the evil / disturbing actions of the other side. When people are outraged at our country (USA to be distinct) for egregious ethical violations and criminal activity like Iran Contra, I think it stems more from the belief that we should try our best to NOT be like our…

All fighters tremble under Dan's superior Saikyo style! You have to be a special kind of character to get your own super taunt!

Justice is blind. And apparently also female.

Such a sleazy man from such a sleazy controversy. The kicker that doesn't get brought up as much as it should from the Iran-Contra Affair was that we were supporting Iraq with intelligence and weapons during the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s. That's right, we were supplying weapons to both countries during the war! That…

I beat it. In fact, so ingrained in my brain was the layout of the levels that at one point I beat the game, both quests, using only one continue. Beating the game itself took months, and it wasn't until I revisited the game when older that I put in the attempt to excel at it.

The early Capcom game endings were bad for their Engrish and ridiculous brevity considering the borderline masochistic task you had just completed. Ghosts 'n Goblins was at least hilarious with its level of terrible wording, but 1942 was like a straight punch in the face. It took months, MONTHS to beat that game,…

Aww, I respect Morgan Webb too. I here a lot of disdain for her, but I think her history of game criticism is sound, even if there are some bits I disagree with.

No, I agree, it is sad. One of the things that I fear about in increasingly technological communication inclined society is the breakdown of real-life decency through the semi-anonymity of the digital world. I think everyone has sent something through e-mail or posted something somewhere that they regret and realize…

The TF2 Comics that Valve has released to coincide with major updates are worth a read to learn more about the game's underlying story. They are also hilarious.
