Only pricks say "with respect". It's a giant neon banner of a phrase. 95% of us would respond in the same way you did.

Haha! "Cheeky" is a Swiss Army knife of a word really. Honestly, most of the time it's meant in a "ooh, you scamp" kind of way, but it could be more barbed in rare case (especially if we chain it up with "bastard", "cunt" or "fucker", although that's no guarantee of actual venom either).

Maybe the Colin Firth class, which is the one in which the USA seems to have a disproportionately large interest (although perhaps a disproportionate number of them can afford the travel costs? Could be that).

It's not a laugh track. It's filmed with an audience in the studio.

I do, because they need you to make the switch. It's already been proven that the hardware manufacturers can't make this happen, and none of them will dare push it directly again. So, since it's going to be so great for the console manufacturers and their partners when they finally kill physical retail, they need to…

Okay, I can understand that. My preference is for PCs, so I left physical formats behind years ago for games but as you say it was an easier choice for us since we didn't really own our games anyway. Something I really like is never being encumbered with the discs, or having to worry about damage to them. Maybe that…

They're wasting a lot of money. The cuts going this way and that to retailers, manufacturers, packaging costs, distribution are dramatic. They can drop the price quite a bit and still make more money per unit if they can tempt everyone onto digital supply. On the negative side, there'll also be money saved because…

OK, don't hate me: there's one more in the tags!

All the info is calling it "Kokuga", not "Kakuga"?

Well this conversation took a bizarre turn.

It's been killing me since the days of widescreen TV, and I swear: until recently I don't think half of humanity could even tell it was wrong. If I could have warped their own families' skeletons (and trust me - I WANTED TO*) they would have merrily gone about their days unaware that anything was amiss. It's probably…

I'm not suggesting they've ripped these tracks off. It's just that there's very little that separates their sound treatment from pre-existing tracks, and the new BF trailer would not sound like it does had not a small number of people laid that groundwork already and made it artistically plausible (and therefore…

Every Gawker site has its own policy and community. All they share are basic similarities in the site design.

I wasn't being cranky! Just... those are a woman's legs, and she sits down with the breasts and the woman's voice coming out of the female head there. Never mind.

"I believe every one of God's creatures is equal" (and clearly she doesn't mean that anyway, because pies) is on a par with "I don't care if you're black, white, green or purple!" in the Naked Subconscious stakes.
