I’m of the opinion that most issues that we see with fraternities and sororities would nearly disappear by having them all convert into co-ed organizations.

So here’s a good example:

Not necessarily powerless. If you look at the comparisons to modern religions, some currently frame discussions about the works and power of God (or whichever deity or deities) as occurring through humans and nature rather than despite them.

Was thinking more along the lines of this:

Caesar wasn’t a character in Heston’s film.

There was definitely a lot of cross-cultural trade between the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, and east Africa... including the slave trade.

Sounds like we’re closer to making a working Ansible.

For those who keep replying that this is in the wrong place, I appreciate your intent to be helpful. I’m aware of this, but I’m unable to delete or edit the original post.

I guess it comes down to whether the asshole has a legal responsibility to act as guardian and caretaker for a child that isn’t his (and that he didn’t adopt).

You have Maguire and Garfield’s ages wrong.

The second thing. Oof. Stupid infinite scroll.

I’d already planned to pay about 14% down. This was back during the first time homebuyer tax credit, and the original plan was to apply that credit to the principal of the mortgage (and get rid of the PMI) after my tax refund came back.

The beheading thing originated with interviews with devs (or marketing) prior to the game’s release. That was initially intended; beheading would perma-kill an orc, while all other methods wouldn’t.

I think the Nemesis system is one of those things where it is beneficial to the gameplay despite the leaps of logic it periodically requires.

I really miss Fanfic Fridays from the old Topless Robot days. I know it wasn’t the best fit for io9, and it could be a little mean-spirited, but it was pretty amazing in its heyday.

While this specific decision seems like a poor one on Capcom’s part, it’s important to keep in mind that what fans say they want doesn’t always line up with fans’ purchasing behavior.

I’m rather ambivalent about fanfic itself, so long as it’s intended for fun and creativity. Where things get weird is when a fandom starts making vocal demands for future plots, especially when that movement originates (or is at least propped up by) fan fiction.

Depends on what you mean by commercials. To my knowledge, HBO already puts an ad for their own shows right before any episode you stream. This has at least been the case for HBO Now and the HBO Amazon Prime add-on.

Did you play Skyward Sword? Though admittedly a weaker title, it actually does a solid job of connecting both these ideas: that the “reimagining” of the legend, as you put it, is a seemingly endless loop of reincarnation. The story of Zelda, Link and Ganon is simultaneously serial and cyclical.
