John Baird is glass closeted. Everybody in the gay community knows, but not that many outside of it do. I don’t believe he has said anything publically about it as Wikipedia does not list him as being one of the openly lgbt federal MPs that serve or have served in Parliament.

There are actually four out gay MPs in his caucus (including his personal friend Seamus O’Regan), but I think Scott Brison is the only one in Cabinet. Brison, incidentally, used to be a member of the Conservative party until his very public defection years ago. At least one Right-leaning newspaper was pleased with his…

I think I missed Story progression at first (although has everyone forgotten how buggy that feature was?) , then I realised that I could go into manage households and edit any family in the game. No, I couldn't change existing sims or anything like that, but I could add kids or additional family members willy-nilly.…

Please do a Canadian list, or throw Labatt Blue in there somewhere where it belongs (top 5)

There is a common misconception these days that just because everyone has their own opinion, that all opinions are equally right. Believe it or not, sometimes when two sides have a disagreement, one side can actually be right and the other one wrong.

I've heard the same argument about gay marriage. "I am gay and I don't want to get married. I don't really care if they ban it or not." It's not about what a specific individual wants. It's about giving an entire community the option in the first place. Choices have value. What do you think the whole stink about the…

I am neither a software developers nor have I played the game, but like you, I find this premise to be highly unlikely.

Yup, dead horse, and you're beating it.

Diablo 3 still has fans?

It's hard because there is a huge amount of physical diversity even within one race and, let's be honest, all three races are closely related. As a Chinese person, I've been taught the preconceptions that Koreans and Japanese are paler and have more slanted eyes than Chinese. Koreans are supposed to have stronger…

Nice trailer, but isn't this just going to be another WoW-based MMO? It's not going to look anything like this.

Yes, it's french fries and cheese curds. That's our secret health food.

The funny thing is that it is strongly implied that everybody else is ok, even if it is not explicitly said. All of the doomsday scenarios are coming from people making assumptions about how galactic trade or mass relay explosions work.

My face import was weird. Hair colour changed from red to a really dark brown. Also, the new face was much wider. But otherwise, he looked similar. My Shepherd had a very distinctive nose and the import had that at least.

I just read it recently as a friend gave it to me for my birthday. I thought the writing was very evocative and imaginative, and the circus itself to be something wondrous and vividly conceived, but I found the characters themselves to be somewhat aloof and unlikeable. Celia was, by the end, the most relate-able of…

I'd dial back the outrage here. _porksoda is just saying that he doesn't like how the game is marketed, not that it's a bad game. As someone who has never played the game before and only knows the game through its marketing, this is fair complaint. So let's all be friends, ok?

Agreed. I don't see the point of putting down one crass generalization and then immediately replacing it with another.

Definitely excited about this. I never really saw the point in paying money just to add another sidequest or two — the game has enough of them already.

I don't really see why homophobic remarks needed to be in this.

What I really didn't get is why a huge plot point rests on Cole cheating on a wife (and kids) that we hadn't even seen or heard about up until that point. Seriously, I was like, he's married? It seems pretty sloppy writing to have it just come out of left field like that.
