I'm going on record: as a male, the profligate use of the phrase "sausage fest" in the comments section is as offensive as "fish market" would be to a woman in an analogous context. Double standards much, people?

We have two CN gnomes in our Pathfinder game, and so far, both players are handling it pretty well. The reason I believe CN gets a bad rap is because the DM doesn't outline what he considers appropriate behavior for the alignment Chaotic EVIL (which is what I see happening with most CNs) AND doesn't impose…

This is why I'm against the n-word in use for ANYTHING. Letting it pass in music and in cinema makes kids think it's okay to use it anywhere. KILL THE WORD.

Paul Pelletier is a big favorite of mine. His lines are clean, his proportions realistic...He loves the human body enough to make it real and heroic and the same time. He can do anatomy like nobody's business.

Two points, less relevant first:

If you can't park with other people in mind, don't park in a parking garage. Use valet parking along with all the other privilege you think you deserve.

Oh, FFS. You people (by which I mean the Grinches who have a problem with the girl proposing to the guy), get your head out of the 1950s. It DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER which gender proposes to which. Your hang-ups are antiquated.

Holy schist!

I would like to point out that it's actually somewhat reasonable that Sam and Dean are off their game during the ep once they find out Bobby has in fact returned as a ghost, seeing how prior to this, ghosts have been *rarely* friendly in their career. They were far down along the road in closure about Bobby's death…

Even while I dislike the character, Sansa Stark serves a role in illustrating that not every victim is obvious in the nature of how they're victimized. Sansa was a privileged silly girl in a family who didn't place importance in the things she was obviously enamored of. Sansa was deliberately cultivated as currency…

What worries me more is reading becoming an activity exclusive to those individuals and families able to secure internet access and e-readers. The average lower-income family continues to lag behind technologically—for example, usually the most sophisticated device they'll have on the go is a "dumbphone" (one of…

The columnists at Io9.com, like their peers at places like ComicsAlliance, never claim to be objective and non-partisan. They like what they like. I don't know any media critic who isn't unbiased, so you're looking in the wrong places if you want Smallville love.

I don't know if it's flirting so much as "I know something you don't know..."

...Apropos of nothing, does anyone *not* think that the Curse Regina stole from Maleficient is the Sleeping Beauty curse, working to keep Storybrooke's populace "asleep" in modern-day identities (talk about 'sleepy little town' indeed) and the entire region walled off in time and space* from the rest of the world (the…

Addressing some of these points in no particular order:

Shades of Ghostbusters.

My thought is that Superman's "armor" is actually sonar paneling. If this title reboot is to do what it's supposed to do, I wouldn't be surprised if Superman ends up with stronger limitations and complications this time around, such as possibly exhausting the solar energy in his cells faster than the sun's ambient…

Stephen Geoffreys is (or was) "gay for pay." Whether he was ever *actually* gay is debatable.

I had John Norman as a professor for a Modern Logic class I took during my sophomore year at CUNY Queens College. I can safely say I learned more about logical thinking outside of his class than in it. Not to mention that he talks the way he writes.

Clever, but not brilliant or innovative. The only positive potential here is for Bruce Wayne to be less of a cipher for the identity of Batman than he has been over the years. I suppose I should recognize the token effort to acknowledge that you can't have a legacy without passing on the mantle somehow.
