These guys designed an extremely ugly looking "box." I'm not so sure I trust any design critique they're bound to give.

If you want to criticize her, start a blog or do it in the comments section on another website. Given how toxic Youtube comments can be in general—even when the topic isn't feminist-related, which only multiplies their toxicity—I don't see anything wrong with giving the seething masses as barrier to entry for their…

I'm so glad to not be alone on this...

Mass Effect 2 is the game that made me go back and play Mass Effect 1 all the way through, so I have to disagree with your assessment and throw my support behind Kirk's.

Yeah, I was feeling Heavy Rain's absence as well. I'm not sure if it was as obviously "defining" as other games on the list, but when I think about the PS3, it's definitely one of the first games that comes to mind.

That's totally it! Yep, looks exactly like one of those enterprise PCs. I half expect a CRT display to be sitting on top of it.

I'm not exactly sure what Microsoft was thinking with this design for the XB1. I guess they sort of figured that minimalism was the way to go, which I understand. And it seems like they're trying to aim it at an audience that's broader than just gamers, so they want it to fit in with the other appliances in the homes…

They're basically trying to nullify the entire concept of real ivory as a valuable commodity, because validating any of the potential reasons for harvesting it (because it can be sold for a lot of money, because people have stupid beliefs about physical effects of ingestion, because people think it's beautiful and…

This is one of those things that's—okay, fine—pretty cool, but which will absolutely not sway my decision to purchase the system at all. Why? Because I'm never going to use this. The only thing that I may sometimes do, side by side with playing a game, is look game-related stuff up on the internet. But browsing is…

The reason why the zoom-ins work in Kill Bill (and the genre films it draws from) is because it acknowledges the existence of the camera. It appears "cheesy" and stylized, but it works within those parameters as a sort of homage. The zoom-ins that you see in movies like Man of Steel always seem to occur from this…

Don't most (all?) PS3 games require installation to HD as well? This is the new (well, sort of old at this point) normal, and it's fine by me.

Well no, you're not simply "stupid" for having a car in a major metro area. Most major metro areas in the US are designed primarily with drivers in mind. In other words, people with cars in many major cities have simply made a rational decision in doing so. We need to overhaul our cities and rethink how we handle…

They're certainly not comparable, the two are nothing alike other than having guns and soldiers.

I'll bet the store clerk's morning went something like this.

Yeah, except it's not quite the same thing. Because at the end of the day, men (in anime and elsewhere) still get to be a hell of a lot more than sex objects. For women, the choices are still very limited. You can't just pick out a single case of sexualized males and then say that the slate is clean.

So, in other words, you have no clue what you're talking about, so you're not going to continue the conversation. Otherwise you'd stop talking in broad generalities about philosophy and actually explain how you believe these connections work. It's simply not enough to be like "1. People act 2. blahdeeblahblah." I need…

You're really all over the place here. You're talking about Enlightenment ideas, but you're just sort of spitting them out in numbered statements, and it's difficult for me to get a bearing on exactly what you're arguing vis a vis the innate problems of Communism and the innate benefits of Capitalism. You claim that…

Well, ideology isn't necessarily a "bad" thing. It's just valuable to understand that you are invested in it, rather than assuming that you're coming from some pure, neutral, ideology-free stance. It's much the same with biases. We can't really have an argument if you insist that the things you're talking about are…

But I'm saying that what you call "natural" is actually steeped in ideology and bias.

1. People act. 2. They act according to values. 3. Everyone ranks values and each ranking system is individual to each person. That theorem has very significant consequences when talking about people. That's why communism fails unless it's voluntary.
