The Emperor bowed to Obama, so Obama bowed in return. To not do so would be the same as if a foreign dignitary extended their hand in greeting, and Obama did not accept it. Perhaps Obama was confused on which bow to use, perhaps, not being in the ha...  [Read More]

To be fair to their creators however, their stories are tried and true "adventure" stories. You could line up Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, and any number of heroic stories from the past upon that same chart. It's not that Bioware or Ob...  [Read More]

On the treatment of the BNP, one of their supporters said a while ago (I forget who) that "now we're living in a fascist state!" And I thought to myself that he could at least try to look happy about it... Fact is though, even if that's th...  [Read More]

The show has been recorded amid violent protests outside of BBC Television centre - six people have been arrested, and three police officers have been injured. It think it would have been far better if nobody had shown up to protest - the BNP's ego...  [Read More]

Perhaps I entirely missed the above, but while I think the article hinted at the above, I don't think it came out and directly said that. Regardless I don't think sexuality played a part in the death, but with all the recent celebrity deaths, one can...  [Read More]

Frankly, given this administration's aversion to transparency and for parsing, I'm sure he wouldn't come out and say "I hereby declare that all formerly illegal residents in the US are now de facto citizens". Now, since I didn't claim he de...  [Read More]

Nobody cares what Carter says. He's about as informed on the facts as Kanye. There is some foundation of protesting against President Obama based in racism. There is some that's based on his policies. There is some that's just random uneducated moro...  [Read More]

Regulating the trade is not going to stop the illegal activities going on. We'll end up with the same exact situation, except we'll now have legal brothels to go along with the illegal ones. So you don't license women on drugs? OK. It just means they...  [Read More]

For me, they represent the first in a long, long line of examples of why I no longer consider George Lucas to be a serious filmmaker. :carms: Not only that, but they are part of a long line of both hero-cutification and villain-degradation....  [Read More]

Why is it that the first thing everyone cares about when a new MMO is released isn't the story, it's not the graphics, it's not good gameplay, or a generally well-designed game, it's PVP. Seriously, there are already a million games that you can PVP...  [Read More]

I don't really think the audiences for TOR and a game like this are the same. With a browser based MMO, the playerbase are going to be casual and probably younger considering it will be based on the Clone Wars TV show. My mistake, I missed the brows...  [Read More]

Hmm. Hadn't thought of quality control *quite* like that. I understand how it could be that way. But I'm not sure I 100% agree here. Interesting. Mediocrity seems to be part of the problems we face today does it not? Of course it is, but Meritocracy...  [Read More]
