It's amazing that between this and Starship Troopers people can't understand that most of Verhoeven's sci-fi work is satire.

I'm hosting the DICE awards Thursday night, it's streaming on Twitch, so tune in if you want! Currently I'm playing, Tales of Maj'Eyal obsessively and I got into the Everquest Next Alpha which has pretty sweet graphics. Also: Elder Scrolls beta this weekend. Good gaming lately!

So...wait.
What about living in an crime dystopia means men and women cant share locker rooms?!?

That about tears it. Fuck these videos. Pointing out logical inconsistencies in a blatantly campy, satirical take on 80's excess, corporate greed, and fascism, is like asking an air traffic controller to rip apart Airplane!

Original RoboCop is perfect. PERFECT. Everything came together in a way things usually don't. Great directing, great story, sensational performance from Weller, great acting from most of the supporting cast, sensational practical effects. The "third act" face is still mind boggling, the greatest prosethic work…

Toxic wasted!

Agreed. You can go on and on about the rose colored glasses, but watching these clips... I see... nothing wrong at all with anything that's being pointed out. It's wonderfully campy, thematically consistent, charmingly over the top, and visually distinctive. It's so perfect as an 80's sci fi action pulp movie, and I…

Actually, it ISN'T a legitimate question, because it is a loaded question, and those are not fair and don't deserve being answered. A more fair and legitimate question would be "What do you enjoy most about AoT?" See the difference? Asking it the first way is (usually) indicative of a biased inquirer and is meant to…

lol, son.

There have already been all those comments.

Isn't this sort of like beating up the slow kid at school?

Related, because Maria Bamford is the best:

Once again we prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is nothing cool in this world that a prick with a business degree and no vision can't fuck up.

I begrudgingly agree that Mean Machine and the ABC Warrior were great. Now that the new Dredd film has helped heal the wounds from the old one, I can admit that.

I remember reading an interview with the creator of Remember Me and he said they had difficulties finding a publisher because many of them were convinced that a biracial female protagonist wouldn't sell. One of them even said that a male gamer would be squicked out by playing a female character who has a romantic…

It was just last week that I had been having a conversation with my fiancee about under-representation in video games. There's not really that many women, and there's not really that many minorities. This isn't a criticism of every game that features a white male protagonist, because lots of those are my favorite…

Considering that the xenomorph was designed by H.R. Giger who is famous for his psychosexual artwork, not really. The original painting on which the creature was loosely based on had a huge shlong, too. Ofcourse it's supposed to come off as disturbingly rapey in the movie, but you can't sexualise something without at…

Really, it's learning to curb your pedantry to what's appropriate for the situation.

As far as I'm concerned, there's an "important detail threshold", of sorts, that changes per situation and once you've reached it you can afford to fill in the holes some.

Admittedly, I will buck up if I think the speaker is being…

You two are both awesome. And I am irritated that the fad of stylish abrasiveness forces me to assure you that I am not being sarcastic or facetious in the least.

20 years ago, this would have been a minus.
