Probably as many times as you repeat a hateful statement that generalizes a group of people like that. You wouldn't cut anyone any slack for saying the n-word just because they claim "it's not a personal attack on black people", and you'd be totally right in not doing so. And let me head off the...

Well, they updated the article with a link to Best Buy, who still has it. Of course, that doesn't mean it'll be there if you're not able to get it now.

Heh, I've discussed this before, in this own thread even I think, but I've seen Brotherhood as well and prefer the 2003 version. It's endgame has issues that Brotherhood's doesn't, true, but the majority of the series that covers the mostly shared material is done even better, IMO. It's a more...

I've been showing Fullmetal Alchemist (the 2003 series) to my girlfriend who's never seen it and we've been blowing through it. It's great, but "the feels" drive her crazy at times. Last night we just got to the episode where:

Harebrained Schemes is doing another kickstarter for Shadowrun, this time a Hong Kong campaign. They've been hinting at this for a while and I was wondering "Didn't Shadowrun Returns and Dragonfall do well? Why do they need to do a kickstarter for another campaign?", and they've actually done a...

I like Habit RPG, though I use the web interface and can't speak much for the quality of the iOS app. Still, it's free (there's stuff you can buy, mostly cosmetic and otherwise non-vital stuff though). It let's you track daily, repeated, and one shot tasks, count the streaks for the daily ones...

Fridge died. Only a minor rant because A) the apartment company is replacing it tomorrow and B) thanks to the bachelor guy life, there's not that much food in it. Still, annoying.

Just because you didn't like it doesn't make it a malicious ploy. As I mentioned, there are narrative reasons for a lot of the additions that extend the length, it's a short book with a very deep story, there's a lot going on sort of behind the scenes of the novel that someone can feel is worth...

Adapting a work to a different medium almost always involves changes to make it work with the constraints, expectations, and format of the alternate medium. There's no need to take them so personally.

I disagree, a lot of the changes were for the benefit of the story. Showing what Gandalf's up to gives him a reason to not be around, rather than looking like he's a plot device to swoop in when the party needs him then leave to prevent having to actually do anything with his character. Setting...

You mean to show other things going on in middle-earth at the same time that are mentioned in other Tolkien works (some of which that fans also wanted to see), to expand the cast of female characters, and yes, to mesh with the LoTR trilogy, which you are free to your opinion about, but others...

The Hobbit is a first person perspective children's novel, expecting that to adapt over to a modern movie fitting alongside Peter Jackson's LoTR movies (which is what would be expected since he's making them) without changes isn't realistic. That reason is because she's a member of the white...

Finished the first (and thus far, only) episode, it was good. Very much an introductory episode to the new status quo and worldbuilding, but I'll take it if they build off it in the coming episodes. They also haven't just share the episodic format from Telltale's recent adventure games, there's...

Well, she is the Mother of Dragons.

Yeah, what's interesting and slightly non-obvious is that all future books and other EU materials are actually more canon (as much as that makes sense) now than under the old system, where they were relegated to a lower canon "tier". It's just the pre-existing material (minus the Clone wars tv...

I enjoyed the episode, good set up for the finale.

Given that he included the Jaguars and the Jets in this "brutal stretch of games", I think it's a safe bet he wasn't serious.

He was available as a free agent? Geeze, you've got some slackers there (or a really shallow league/team roster).
