It will be interesting to see how this all pans out for Detroit, because my gut feeling is this kind of mass relocation plan will likely become more common as we move forward, addressing the new geo-political and economic realities of the 21st century, not just as a country but globally.

Glad to see those law review journals dedicated so much precious space to the important legal issues of the day. Still, I have to admit it's a fun thought experiment, and now I'm genuinely curious about the legal rights of supernatural entities, e.g. should ghosts have the right to dictate what happens to their…

No, it's not more accurate or relevant to compare gay couples wanting to get the same legal benefits as their heterosexual counterparts to that of siblings wanting to marry each other (cousin's a trickery issue, and in fact isn't even uniformly illegal across the country—though still the issue is independent of the…

So I've tried to read commentary from different perspectives on this issue, and I come away from that more or else aligned with this author's position. While I believe to each his own, there comes a time and place where even insular groups cannot get away with certain things, and purposely attempting to censor the…

Her Pokemon isn't, you're right, which is what makes the snapshot worse. Just remember this isn't an image of her, but a snapshot of a video clip zooming in on her from a different angle.

Okay, guys, her legs aren't actually that long. If you watched the trailer, and even if you look at the image, you can see that the shot is coming up from angle below her (where the player and their Pokemon is approaching her to challenge her), which stretches her out a bit visually. It's not a 'flat' image.

I wonder if they are going to stick with Playstation 3 characters from Sony and third party developers. I hope not as the Playstation 2 has some great characters that if we aren't get a rehash, we should at least get them in here.

You had to hunt for the Smash Ball, from how it is described here there are a) different levels of supers, which I am assuming offer different degree of damage and no more a guarantee to kill someone than the Smash Ball (save for Samus perhaps), and b) you don't have to hunt for anything but rather simply build up the…

Ash will always be the go to person, but I don't see why they can't have two series running coming from two different angels. The "main" story that focuses on Ash, but a new more older one, like the trailer, that features other characters and a different story.

I'm always confused by people ask for this. Like how exactly is that suppose to work in the game? Are you suppose to construct a building in a city that does not have a gym and then face challengers, because that place exits it's called the Battle Tower. Sure, no body addresses you as the champion or Gym Leaders and…

Not all. Only the Kami trio (the things that float on floads) and the game mascots. And I have heard that there may be a couple of others, like that Snowflake thing.

I don't know, you listed a lot of domesticated animals but there are much much more than human groups have tried to domesticate and failed. Not all animals can be domesticated. Jared Diamond came up with a set of rules for domestication and I'm not sure Pterosaurs meets all of them, especially the social hierarchy one.

Metro theme is so much better than the current layout. My hope is that Apple will embrace the Metro layout in future releases for iOS devices. The current layout is a bit dull and jaded.

It seems as if we have some pretty solid ideas about how to deflect one if we get a warning. And I'm sure if we do get a warning all the resources the team who will develop will need will be at their disposal. The issue for me if what happens if we don't have time. Maybe not with an asteroid, but rather a comet which…

Actually that would be amazing. A gritter and darker version of Zelda would be pretty awesome.

The gameplay was addictive, when you finally got a chance to play with the entire cast, you really had the option to customize your playing style and experiment. The story was really good, not great but good, and the world was fun to see. It was also damn pretty. Sure, it was far from perfect and was a big step in a…

I've always wondered about that too. So much of science fiction has us being the underdog, but we have just as much reason to assume that right now we are the most intelligent species in the universe, especially taking into account how volatile the universe is, life could have started in many places before us but be…

I don't understand why some people are complaining so much about the Smash Bros. inspiration/imitation. Smash Bros. sells incredibly well, because gamers like the idea behind the games. It makes sense for Sony to want to capitalize on that interest too, as they have a great roster of characters.

Here's the thing that I still don't get, if these creatures are so advanced why send actual researchers/soldiers to check the place out, when machines would be just as easy and safer? Sure, I get that they are so advanced that they think they don't have anything to fear from us, but that's also a huge amount of hubris…

Well, Casablanca wasn't for everybody. In any case, the challenge was to find games that were "artistic or intellectually sophisticated" not universally liked or at least matching to your sense of taste.
