I agree that much of the representation of ethnic minorities in video-gaming is often a caricature. But let's be honest here and call it like it is... Even White Males are portrayed as caricatures. This isn't a 'race' problem. It's an issue of video-games being a medium where 99.9999999999% of your time is spent…

I think everyone accepts that the Conan movie was half-carried by its orchestral track. It certainly belongs in top 5 movie orchestral compositions of all time, and I would go so far as to say that it belongs in the top-25 of human musical compositions period - full stop. That's some pretty rarified air, but I'd…

Fun fact - Meyer's Sound is the same company that helped the Mythbusters do the "Can the Human Voice Shatter Glass" myth, the "Brown Note", "Do Duck Quacks Echo", and a couple others as well. They do good work.

Couldn't agree more with the comments about the musical score. Even as a kid in the early 80s, I realized that the movie being more than a little carried by its music. Almost every track of that composition is a classic, and worthy of being put up among the greatest orchestral pieces of all time - and certainly in…

Back in the day he was certainly the BIGGEST anyway - as far as the toys went. G1 Devastator was a series of construction vehicles that were no bigger than the Insecticons individually. G1 Predacaons were all full-size transformers in their own right, so when they combined the G1 Predaking was huge.

It's nice to see…

Check out how huge he is compared to the original G1 Devastator... Scrapper ALONE is almost as tall as the original. This is going to be one freakishly huge Combiner. And that's as it should be.

Menasor will be coming out. Pretty much all the old G1 combiners are getting an awesome update in this Combiner Wars thing. There are even rumors that Bruticus and the Combaticons are getting a set later this year. It's a good year for collectors...

It will be mine. Oh yes... It will be mine. I'm also picking up the Stunticon combiners, and I've been impressed with how well they are treating all the combiner sets. Dragstrip (Menasor's left arm) was released in Wave 1 along with most of the Arielbots, and he's not just a faithful callback to the original G1 -…

There IS something wrong with the way humans 'naturally' smell in the exact same way that there is something wrong with the way cows naturally smell, or pigs, or any other animal. The natural smell is unpleasant and distracting.

I've sat next to people in public who exuded their 'natural smell', and it is awful. …

Basically just reinforces the trope that the video game industry is not a place to work if you have a family. They appear to view their 'people' as mere tools to be used, abused, and then thrown away at the end of a project. There is some of this in all employment, but the VG industry seems to take it as an…

I sure hope this isn't yet another "Malificent" movie where Disney takes yet another post-modern crap on one of their most beloved movies.

And this relates to video games in what way?

They can put some guy names "Miles" in a Spider-Man suit ...

Woah - I totally had that computerized chess set. It was 1987, and I played the crap out of that thing.

If politics and morality-legislation got out of the business of forcing themselves onto religion then more people would be on board with this. But the non-religious influence politics and make policies based on their beliefs that effect us all. As a believer, I don't tolerate that.

Holy crap - that guy has the Rinnegan...

The current epidemic of measles has far less to do with vaccination and far more to do with the rapid influx of hundreds of thousands of unvaccinated, unscreened, illegal immigrant children pouring through the borders and being scattered around the nation with no warnings, no public scrutiny, and no health protections…

Obligatory...

Of all the scientific minds in history, they put Beaker in a bow-tie up against me?
You're no match for me. You've got a Batch degree.

Bill Nye - a the only faux-scientist that's even less credentialed and more of a camera-whore than Niel DeGrass Tyson.

Steam offers...

No - it is more like watching a tiny little Mom & Pop Grocery store turning into a huge Mall with all kinds of specialty stores, department stores, boutiques, and other offerings all mixed together. Basically he is complaining that people are being offered MORE choices, and that's stupid.

Steam isn't McDonalds. …
