I like to see people wearing actually functional, sensible protection in a low fantasy story like Game of Thrones, and for the most part they've done pretty good job at it. And they haven't sacrificed any coolness factor while keeping their armour practical, either.

A moulded breast plate will cause injury to the wearer when it fulfills its function of being hit with a sword. And lets not even get to what happens if she falls on her stomach. Hence, it's not something you want to actually wear in real combat situation.

That's that the thing with GRRM: he (He?) leads us idiot readers down one path, making it obvious what is going to happen next, then he pulls the rug out from under us by doing something unexpected. So it's very possible that The Winds of Winter will be just one long, 800-page story of the scales falling from…

Ew, boob armour.

Her mother AND her father's good looks. Kurt was very, very attractive.

This and the reveal of what the are Reapers from Mass Effect are pretty much the only times a video game story has caused my jaw to drop in surprise.

It surprised both the POV character and the audience, but all of the clues were present throughout the film. It was unexpected, but not unearned, and didn't depend on Bruce Willis being an…

I'd put KOTOR on ranks of huge shocks that changed characters (SPOILER in video)

Best twist ever - seems to fit your criteria as well! :)

"everybody is flawed" is meaningless. so we do nothing? does that outlook apply to everything? well there are people who are starving, so let's not try to cure cancer. well there are people who…

GTFO with this "bad apples" nonsense. If it really was just a few bad apples then when rapes did occur the frats/universities/authorities would do everything in their power to do right by both victims and the rule of law. Instead the entire machinery of the aforementioned institutions goes into full-on CYA mode.

You can, if all it breeds is racist, classist, mysoginist leaders to go on and carry on institutionalised racism, classism and mysoginy. Not all traditions are good, ya know? Look at slavery.

Exceedingly pretty and unique visual ideas are what the Wachowskis do best. It's the words that overlay and link these images where they struggle...

Oh my gosh. I just recently got a questionnaire from Gabi about what I'm looking for in a plus size line. That statement from Target directly references items in the questionnaire and is along the lines of some of my responses. This bodes well for getting what we really want from a plus-size line.

...it'll trickle into actual, real brick-and-mortar stores between mid February and March.

..Also Bugs should wear women's clothes!

When someone in a community other than yours says what you are saying or doing makes them uncomfortable, stop. Everybody messes up sometimes. I have messed up. But just listen up and stop.
