    Dating soon after a break-up

    Huh, I just had this conversation recently. My take was that it's because in societies' eyes a man shouldn't need a sex toy, he should be able to go out and find and win over an actual woman if he feels the need, while women are expected to be more chaste, so using sex toys is perferable to them...

    The Video Game Kickstarter Thread of the Future of Passing the Risk to the Consumer

    Exactly. One has nothing to do with the others. Note I mentioned that fact in my post ("that leaves their crowdedfunded games unaffected").

    The Video Game Kickstarter Thread of the Future of Passing the Risk to the Consumer

    That's not terribly surprising though, given the need for Broken Age to get a second round of funding and the space game being cancelled. Their kickstarter project is still going well though.

    The Video Game Kickstarter Thread of the Future of Passing the Risk to the Consumer

    How does a publisher pulling out of a project that leaves their crowdfunded games unaffected have anything to do with those crowdfunded projects?

    [NFL] 2014 NFL Season

    At what point? At about 26 seconds in, their arms get tied up a bit, but Beckham's hand is clearly not on Carr. Carr grabs Beckham's jersey though, and trying to pull him down there is what takes him down.

    [NFL] 2014 NFL Season

    No way, Carr was all over Beckham and pulling on his jersey, that was totally on the cowboys. You can see it more in the video, at no point does Beckham grab Carr. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/odell-beckham-jr--makes-the-greatest-nfl-catch-ever-021823479.html

    What are you playing?

    Dreamfall Chapters: Reborn After replaying The Longest Journey and Dreamfall with my girlfriend, we've started on the crowdfunded sequel. Haven't gotten too far, but it looks great and has some cool things going on already. Super Smash Bros Wii U It's Super Smash. It's great. What else...

    The catch, for anyone who didn't see it. So glad he's on my fantasy team.

    [Music] our national nightmare is over: Taylor Swift has dropped new music video, album Oct 27th

    Ah, as far as I know, there's no requirement for the "they don't know the person" part, which would explain the difference in meaning people can take away from it. The joys of slang usage.

    What are you playing?

    You pretty much hit the nail on the head for me. I also love the Mastercycle, admittedly a lot of that has to do with looks and I'd use it regardless of whether the stats were any good.

    [Music] our national nightmare is over: Taylor Swift has dropped new music video, album Oct 27th

    This part really confuses me. I've heard plenty of complaints from normal people about bosses/co-workers who qualify as 'haters', other times it's family members, and then there's the rampant bullying in schools. There's plenty of hating to go around.

    [TV] Talk about the last TV you watched, the catchall thread

    On the other hand, I mean, it's been foreshadowed, so it's not a big twist, but it still perfect. Just hilarious and fitting. That isn't general endorsement of the season, I'm mainly watching it to see it through the end, but it's one part I'm not complaining about.

    [News] Our childish insistence on calling soldiers heroes deadens real democracy

    You know, I'd wager a number of those people would claim they're not heroes despite the title being handed to them, much like you did. The cop that bought a car seat might say "What was I supposed to do? Make it harder for her to obey the law by giving her the ticket instead? That's...

    [Movies] Talk about the last movie you saw 2: Electric Threadaloo

    Why? The Joker showing up around then doesn't mean that Batman and Gordon made immediate progress. They had higher priority targets with the mobs than with one guy running smaller jobs. If they didn't address it all maybe, but when they explicitly reference the line of events, you can't really...

    [Movies] Talk about the last movie you saw 2: Electric Threadaloo

    On the other hand, in The Dark Knight it's clear Batman has been working with the cops for a while on the mob (Batman's marked money has led to them finding the bulk of the mob's cash), and there's numerous references to how Batman's work has inspired the people and made them feel brave, how he...

    [Movies] Talk about the last movie you saw 2: Electric Threadaloo

    What? No. In order: 1) We only see movies about him going after the big guns, but the beginning of The Dark Knight, between him going vigilante on Scarecrow/other batmen and his working with Gordon, indicates he's been doing stuff, quite successfully too, between movies. 2) Plenty of...

    Thinking he took an idea from a strip three months ago because he used binary? That's stretching it.

    [Movies] The Upcoming Movies Trailer Thread

    The presence of movies like Michael Bay's Transformers movies and Twilight indicates that they're clearly not just for flops. Obviously "movies that are flops" and "movies/performances that are horrible" are two categories with significant overlap, but don't get them confused.
