"The new policy, which will be voted on by the national board next week, will leave the decision of allowing gay members up to local Scout governing boards. "

I approve.

I get the ambiguity; I said "setting aside" because I was interested in discussing the mechanics of surveillance in Germany rather than tackling the vandalism head-on, which has been done in other threads on this article.

Correction: The "there" in my second sentence is supposed to refer to Germany. I'm not calling EU a country. :)

Totally setting aside the moral issue of vandalism, can someone familiar with EU explain this? Is the issue of government surveillance and "big-brothering" much worse there than in other countries? As an American I can't really relate to this; other than traffic cams and surveillance around government buildings, I…

SHADOWX!

Don't get me wrong, Gameloft's games are well-crafted, high-production, and very fun to play. It's just that they are basically the "cover band" of game companies. When I say they have no original ideas, I'm not saying that as an insult; it is literally true. Their entire library reads like an alternate-titled list of…

"Here, offspring, take my work phone which is tied to our national twitter feed! No scandal could possibly arise!"

My take: Boss walked in mid-level, he shoved the phone in his pocket, lost, and then pocket-tweeted inadvertently.

Suuuure. One of your "kids." Because an adult fessing up to playing a video game would in some way be scandalous?

Really hope this one has separate servers for various languages. Order & Chaos Online for iOS had all the Koreans mixed onto the same server as Americans and very few people you'd run across could speak English.

China is very very good at ripping off game ideas from other countries, with sky-high production values and zero original ideas.

Man, it's just baffling to me that Incoboto never gets any love in these lists. Absolutely stellar relaxing puzzle-platformer in the Braid/Fez vein. You literally cannot die, there is nothing that can kill you, so it's all about the puzzles. Production values are through the roof, script is hilarious and edgy without…

Holy Jesus. Here's hoping Anon has enough Coulton fans that they can get some guerrilla revenge; I'm thinking redirecting Fox and Glee's websites to Coulton's is a good start.

I have never heard any work from the majority of their singers without autotune. If you never hear a singer's raw voice at any point, it is a good bet they cast for looks and don't give a whit about vocal talent.

You'd do well to check him out. He makes music in virtually every genre a white nerd can get away with (e.g. no rap), so chances are high you will find something in his catalog you like. He has a very specific style, but it has much more to do with his lyrical and thematic approach than any specific genre trappings.

THANK you. I've never heard so clearly articulated what I hate about the sixaxis (besides the tiny little handles on the bottom that are not remotely fit for my giant American meat-mitts).

The imprecision of games like this and Angry Birds drives me crazy. There's obviously skill involved, but some of the levels that require pixel-perfect shots can literally take hundreds of attempts even if you know the exact pixel on which to place your finger, because our fleshy digits are not exact tools. Yet I'm…

Oh man, that's so "Dan Savage redefines Santorum." I love everything about this.
