So you don't have any evidence?

I don't think I mentioned my own opinions, but it's possible I missed something that your amazing abilities saw plainly. Could you point it out?

I've made no assertions, you have. Maybe you're just unfamiliar with the conventions of debate?

Well I'll admit, I'm a bit dazzled by your stunning intellect, but if you're willing to use small words I'll do my best to follow along. So, a child's ability to produce it's own offspring is governed by the presence of a 'father figure', which would mean that the children of single mothers have fewer children then…

Uh huh, a woman who has a lot of sex is less likely to have offspring, is that what you're arguing? You're right, my left wing brain just doesn't understand.

Your claim that women make poor decisions when they're examining all the available evidence is laughably ridiculous. Or is male sexual performance not a valid characteristic on which to base potential couplehood?

At 11 I found my dad's porno stash. It was … a revelation.

I hope studios eventually get comfortable with abandoning the single player story completely, when appropriate. If your game is primarily a multiplayer game, as most FPSes are, why would you tack on a crappy, derivative story that's just going to make your product look worse anyway? I understand there's an…

It's not as egregious as some, but the opening on-the-rails dungeon that starts out Elder Scrolls:Oblivion still sticks in my mind as needlessly long and overly detailed. I just want to start wandering, dammit!

I ran into that yesterday too, and spent an enjoyable 30 minutes getting sucked into playing more rounds than I intended. It's much more addictive than it seems at first blush.

Nothing to Hide is a great little game, and Poppy looks very cute as she cluctches those friendly surveillance cameras to her chest.

Sexual compatibility is an important part of a relationship but it's not the only part. Do you enjoy the time you spend with this woman? Is that enjoyment enough to make you accept that your sex life may not be exactly as you envision it? You need to discuss her aversion to foreplay, and your appreciation for it,…

Idiottwink's got heartbreak written all over him; idiotsings is going to keep disappointing you. Oklahoma is already exhibiting some troubling entitlement issues, but they're minor (so far.) Of the three, Oklahoma seems to be your best bet to pursue something more. When he came over the other night and you talked,…

Nope, it's gotta be infinite duplicates of yourself, Multiple Man-style.

There's a few onsite segments, mainly one in Italy as he's telling the Giordano Bruno story, but for the most part it's CGI. I was worried at first that the graphics would detract from the show but they obviously dumped a lot of money into them and I think they work well, for the most part.

D'awwww! Actually, my avatar pic is from the Tumbler-Snapper series of nuclear tests. This particular picture shows what's known as "the rope trick" - the little spikes at the bottom are caused by the cables holding the tower vaporizing; the cables were made from different metals and so vaporized at different speeds.

I like having a lot of costumes or outfits when I'm playing. I've literally (really literally) spent 15 minutes deciding on just the right armor-and-headgear combo to wear in New Vegas, which is frankly hilarious since I almost exclusively play those types of games in first-person mode. Still, it's nice to be able…

It's 30 minutes out of an otherwise-boring Friday afternoon, and it gives me an excuse to spend time with my weird Internet friends. I should be thanking you guys!

Happy Friday, Gameological! Our most commented article this week was the Q&A on fictional games with 358 comments (and nearly half weren't Simpsons quotes!) Here's the Top 5 Most Liked (non-KG) comments:

Use the favorite menu to keep some of your more useful weapons and armor easily available, and there should be a way for you to hot-key two sets of weapons and/or shields to the (I think) left and right D-pad - assuming you're playing on an XBox, that is.
