    Asperger's: Does it matter if you have it?

    I never considered myself to be someone with disorders of any kind, however, I overheard my mother telling my wife that when I was a kid, they though I might have Asperger's, but they never took me in to get tested or anything (probably lack of money; my brother had bigger problems). So it got...

    Protect the Children - Arrest Them!

    Seriously, what the fuck? Found this today: More and more children being arrested for trivial things… #1 At one public school down in Texas, a 12-year-old girl named Sarah Bustamantes was recently arrested for spraying herself with perfume. #2 A 13-year-old student at a school in...

    Art of the Final Battle

    Another topic for discussion of video games. I feel like final battles haven't felt as ... big I guess for some games as they used to. Maybe that's because of the stakes. I used to play a lot of Squaresoft RPGs, so the stakes were usually global. I'm not sure. I just know some games...

    [Gaming] Best and Worst Game Endings

    Time to list things and do some bitching. Important note: good games and bad games alike can have good and bad endings so don't limit yourselves just to games that betrayed you in the end. Also, probably spoilers. I'd appreciate if people would list the game's title before anything else...

    Constitution-Free Zone

    So apparently DHS says if you're found within 100 miles of a U.S. border, the 4th amendment does not apply. I'm pretty sure they meant those parts of the U.S./Mexican border without many people living in them (which is still not cool), but ACLU is painting a picture of this applying across all...

    Can Bioware be redeemed?

    Dragon Age 3 is coming eventually. Mass Effect 4 after that. The last entries in each of these series have been either lame and shitty, or disappointing and pathetic. The key Bioware people have left. EA is still pressing the people left to squirt out DLC for Mass Effect 3. Supposedly...

    [Writing] The Dangers of Twilight books

    Not wanting to put this in my fairy tale thread... I wrote a story about a father trying to help his daughter in a world where reading the Twilight novels has brought to light a psychological illness in adolescent girls. Part 1 is here. Parts 2 and 3 to come soon.

    Hurricane Sandy

    It's a HURRICANE! I know this is supposed to be a big one. I also remember Hurricane Tropical Storm Floyd that was supposed to be enormous. If you're in the south, I hope you stay safe. If you're up north like me, it's gonna be wet, but stop fucking panicking.

    Trouble Test

    Something we were discussing after a Law & Order episode. Not at all a question asked by Shego to prepare for different circumstances.

    Okami HD

    I AM SO FULL OF HAPPY. The one thing I regret about selling the Wii was getting rid of Okami. But I also didn't want to play it after getting our HDTV because Wii games on HDTV tend to look like awful shit. But HD... and with Move control option... Fuck everything else this fall. I am...

    The "I Just Exorcised" Thread

    No, no, this is a thread for gloating. Totally exorcised a demon from the local library... construction field/abandoned project. It does wonders for your confidence and I think everyone should try exorcising. Maybe if we post about our exploits, it'll encourage others to do some exorcisms who...

    Nostalgia: Failure and Success

    Nostalgia is failing me here and there, and I wanted to see who might share feelings, either on these games or some of their own attempts to recapture magic of the old days (maybe with GoG or even remakes/reboots of franchises). There were games I loved in my adolescence that just aren't doing...

    U.S. Military Rape Culture

    This review shocked the hell out of me: The Invisible War I had no idea there was such a problem in our military. Obviously I knew this happened, but at such a high rate, and for it to be so ignored is disgusting. Some choice quotes:

    E3 2012

    This is just getting started and is already looking like a pile of ass. I knew this was going to be a disappointing year for games and my wallet is thankful for it, but it is kind of sad. I'm running out of older games I missed during college. Feel free to share videos and tidbits and...

    Movie Music - Trying to Identify

    I found this thing from back when Paramount was going to make John Carter of Mars and I'm trying to identify some of the music from it. A lot of it sounds like old school scores, while some I can tell is of the current Zimmer/Gregson-Williams stuff. Any help would be appreciated as there are a...

    [Music] Amanda Palmer's Exploding Kickstarter

    Some of you might have heard of Amanda Palmer's (also known as Neil Gaiman's wife) new record's kickstarter, that started with the goal of $100k, and is now at over $700k. Crazy stuff. I'm amazed that they're selling the digital album for just a dollar, but then you can see a lot of the money...
