'Hey, he's like me and I agree with some of this, maybe I should learn more?' - that is a truly beautiful sentence. Unlike a lot of people on the Gawker blogs I didn't have any real gender or societal issue education, so my introduction to it went something along those lines. It wasn't (as a lot of feminists attest)…

That's a great, every day kind of example. I'm starting to realise that people being ignorant to something isn't the problem that it's made out to be, (Hell, if it's just ignorance then they can be educated out of that, just like you did with your friend. It doesn't have to be done in an aggressive or condescending…

Brilliant! No, I'm not laughing AT you, I'm laughing with you! But seriously fuck that yellow rat indeed. The little bastard cost me two part time jobs when I was younger. I was working at a game shop when the first Pokemon cards came out. My boss said I should start playing but I resisted. I could see the money it…

Great write up, thanks for being so detailed. There were some really good points to think about. When a lot of these topics are posed simply as questions for the reader/listener to take away and think about I think they become far more interesting, effective and participatory than merely preaching about what someone…

It may well be that it's still great but I think I am well past caring for now. For me at least 50% of the enjoyment of a story is the ending - and ten years is a hell of a long time to wait for an ending. I am chuffed for anyone who's enjoying it, who knows I might come back to it but for now I think there are…

I think the book analogy is a bit false - most books are priced on an entirely commercial basis. Is it new? (up the price) Is it by a popular author? (up the price) Is it a giant volume that's a thousand pages long? (up the price) Is it a hardback with any special print processes used on the cover? (up the price) Is…

This sounds amazing! The stories that will come out of this will be hilarious - they always sound incredible when they're retold.

No Moon knight!?!? It's still being awesome and hopefully this idea of a new team with each arc continues. Also Rumble, for sheer greatness of art.

Ah damn you all! Now I have to go and boot up Metroid for a replay:) In all seriousness I managed to get the first one working on an emulator on my work laptop with an xbox controller and it's the most fun I've had in SO long. It works perfectly well without having to have a nunchuck etc. There is SO much to love…

I am sure there are plenty of Superman fans that like either one of those. I am sure if not then just wait long enough and something they will enjoy will come along.

It's really good to see the other responses here being so supportive. I can't disagree that sometimes for your own sake you will come across behaviours and people that you have to move away from. For your own sake. The best you can do is explain why you feel like you do and then forgive yourself. I've been…

This sounds like a host of other eating disorders but with the added complication of being 'socially acceptable'. With the internet being the turd filled rats nest that it is, you can always find some positive reinforcement for any kind of behavior. (I'm glad that when I developed my anorexia it was before the web had…

Damn it, these speedrunners are just amazing...well that and they make my brain feel old useless and squishy!

That was a really great review - not just because of this chaps experience but because it was bloody well written! Thanks for posting - and plenty to think about. I've had both family and friends who served (British) and i'm really glad that we're starting to move away from the black and white kinds of conversations…

Great list and the ideas of having Peter Parker become a mentor by handing the title onto Miles is truly great one! It nearly writes itself it's such a good one.
As for me personally I'd add a few other, more unrealistic wishes.
Less universe wide 'events', please. If every page in comic is big, splashy single image…

I've been loving The Fall... well as much as you can 'love' something as bleak and soul destroying as it is! Mainly down to Gillian Anderson. It's been great having her back in the u.k. and on our screens over these last few years. A few friends and I have met her a couple of times outside a few theaters in London.…

Ahhhh, sad metal kitty! Fekin genius:)

True, true. I could never 'hate' the chap, nor would I ever say something stupid like he 'ruined my childhood' - because frankly he didn't. He made three of my all time favourite films that helped make my childhood awesome. For that I'll always be grateful. I think as time passes he'll serve more as a warning - this…

'...is the dark side stronger? No. Quicker, easier, more seductive...' Damn it if that little alien frog wizard wasn't half right. :)

Well you have my vote for wanting to get rid of micro-transactions and day one dlc! Hell, I throw 'releasing broken fekin games long before they're even finished' onto that burning pile of horse plop:)
