    Bioshock Infinite

    Given the steampunkish style of the game, they should have called it ElectroShock.

    North Korea goes full retard

    This is a good read for an analysis of NK's offensive capabilities. http://nautilus.org/napsnet/napsnet-...c-and-reality/ tl;dr NK cant turn Seoul into a "Sea of Fire" without going full nuclear/bio/chem. Artillery gets degraded at 1% an hour. SK fighters kill 270 targets per sortie (more...

    RIP(or is it RIH?) Hugo Chavez

    We only hate him because of Venezuela's geography really. The Caribbean is an American Sea, as the Med once was for Rome. If you border it you need to fall in line.

    Anchorman: The Legend Continues

    I will second on the Casa de mi Padre. The Mexicans I showed the trailer to at work were laughing at how terrible his accent was. They were impressed by the rest of the cast, since they were lampooning Mexican cinema real hard.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Actually right after a patch come out no one cares about current LFR because it doesn't open for a week. Past LFR does get more attractive though with enhanced drop rates.

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    I saw the decision as being related to Kaladin's hatred of the lighteyes. He wants to differentiate himself from them as much as possible. To him, a lighteyes would do anything to win shards. But he paid the price, willing or no, and to take them would make him truly a lighteyes.

    Pope Benedict XVI resigns

    Actually since you have to wait 15 days for the Cardinals to assemble, we shouldn't hear any news from Rome until . . . March 15th! ET TU BENEDICT?!

    Gavinrad's Mass Effect 3+ Thread

    Any game with a deep, engaging story with A+ voice actors and great inter-character dialogue is a rare and wonderful treasure. God forbid they fuck it up with a star child from left field and a red/blue/green light ending.

    X-Wing Miniatures Game

    Quality is off the charts for the minis really. Scale is great. New ships coming out look good. Game stays pretty fresh because you really feel that getting the right formation or angle would let you turn the tables.

    So wait, if the show took a tired and formulaic idea and made it suck, does that mean it did a good job of critiquing it?

    Apparently the show went into "I'm so Meta, even this acronym" territory. http://www.reddit.com/r/community/co..._should_start/

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Holy shit, I never realized the Hercules aspect. It makes so much sense, esp if you view the Borg as the Olympian Gods, and thus, Sisko's position on the Defiant project.

    World War Z

    I really want to see what JMS wrote for the original script. Moriarty from AICN got to see it and this is what he said.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Negative sir, First Contact (not Generations) takes place in late 2373, about a month before the Second Battle of DS9 and the beginning of the Dominion War. Probably explains why the Defiant had to turn and run with Sisko aboard.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Actually, after reading Memory Alpha and a few other sources it turns out it was a bit more complicated. Roddenberry didn't want to have Saavik turn traitor because it wasn't "in character" while Meyer felt that as the creator of the character they should go ahead. Roddenberry eventually got his...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    By the time VI rolled around both those actresses would have commanded a much higher salary. BTW, I disagree that the last good Trek was IV, I think VI was really great for a final look at the legacy of the cast. It also helps that it was incredibly timely, being released weeks before the fall...

    Japan's bread is mainly inspired by the first Portugese traders. For instance in Nagasaki, the specialty is Castella, or Pao de Castela. The Japanese word for bread, pan, is very close to the Portugese pao.
