That's not really important - any Goonfleet pilot is already basically set for life on free PLEX if they make use of the resources available.

The size of Goonswarm is public information, unfortunately even (especially) as a Goonswarm pilot I am too lazy to go look it up. A few thousand I think.

Yeah, I don't get this either. They've always modeled Croft's moveset on gymnasts - just make her built like a gymnast.

Pay closer attention, there's a pregnancy test in the steel mill, and if you zoom in on it you'll get Harley singing in the credits.

I thought that one was positive - isn't this one negative?

Really? Wasn't the pregnancy test in the main game positive, whereas this one is negative?

Is he a model or a background sprite?

The reason the Elcor are not in the game as opponents is the same reason you never see a walking Elcor in Mass Effect - they only have the technical and art resources for one set of rigging and animation, which is shared across all the species with a human body plan.

Black Widow was awesome, but Whedon's handling of female characters is weak (as opposed to the rest of Hollywood's more plain 'abominable') and could stand to see some real improvement. He didn't quite give BW the same narrative privileges as the rest of the cast, and it would be great to see him stop pegging his…

Kellicams!

I'm no big Call of Duty fan (or any kind of CoD fan at all), but on this point I agree with them: 60 FPS makes an enormous difference in terms of the game's feel and responsiveness. Playing Quake or BF2142 or anything like that, I always turned the graphics down as low as necessary to maintain a steady 60. I'd go so…

She bowed out of Iron Man 3.

Seems fixed now!

ahahaha

You might not like it - nothing's for everyone. But I don't think it's useful any longer to treat 'science fiction writer' as an exclusive category with hard definitions. More and more the genres have begun to blur together, and on net I think it's a good thing.

Mieville is very much willing to criticize his own work, and I've heard him discuss how both City and the City and Kraken were failures in various ways.

You took the meaning incorrectly - space opera is a far older term used to describe works like Star Wars, Night's Dawn, Foundation, the like. Galaxy-spanning warfare and politics.

All you need to do is watch Alien to see the connection.

Fragmenting the asteroid does nothing, unfortunately - the same energy will be delivered and the damage will be just as extensive. The key is deflecting the trajectory of the impactor.
