Journalism and bias in the gaming industry
Every time I hear the whole 'she's not a gamer!' argument, it reminds me of the Obama birther movement.

What's on the idiot box Part 4 (or something)
Daredevil is seriously dark. I like it. I can't think of anything else Marvel has done like this. Even Punisher comes across as more campy than dark. I don't know how I'll ever watch Arrow again. I've always struggled to get through the CW teen drama moments that they put in, and now that I've seen how good a superhero show can be without it, I can't go back.

Heh, it all started with comparing Star Wars to Blade.

Star Wars Episode 7 Thread
Yes, I must be gay because I called Ryan Reynolds and Gosling handsome. Maybe I'm just not the kind of person that needs to find negativity and fault in most things I come across. I prefer to just enjoy stuff.

Star Wars Episode 7 Thread
First Ryan Reynolds and now Ryan Gosling? You guys seem to have something against handsome guys who can act. Sure, one is more of a comedic actor while the other is dramatic, but they are both amazing. If Bladerunner sucks, it will have nothing to do with the performance of Gosling.

Pro Hoops 2K14-2K15
I said he was an unreal shooter, not the greatest in history (me and Leferd aren't the same person, although Leferd is mostly using hyperbole to counter Volo's silliness ). But strictly in terms of 3 pointers, he is well on his way to being the best all time. His 44% is tied for 2nd all-time, but all the guys around him made considerably less 3's. He has made over 1100, Steve Kerr and the other guy near him are both around 700. So if he continues, heck even if he drops a couple percentage points, he's going to have way more than Ray Allen at one of the best percentages in league history. I agree with you on the championship thing though. The Warriors need to win it all. Anything else will be a let down. We should have a bet with Volo if the Cavs and the Warriors go head to head.

Pro Hoops 2K14-2K15
His 3 point shooting percentage is in the top 3, and considering he throws up more of those than anyone in league history, that's the more telling stat. But honestly, he's the best shooter in the game right now, but he needs to do it for another 5-10 years to reach hall of fame numbers. He actually only needs 6 years at his current pace to eclipse Ray Allen, and he's shooting at a 44% clip compared to Allen's 40% one. This is all cool stuff, but it isn't why he is MVP. He's MVP because he's learned to be a top assist man and play solid defense along with his great scoring. He has gotten better every year he has been in the league, and now he is a dominant force on the best team. Also if you want to talk about bias, James Harden has a much better argument on being overlooked. He's put up a huge season in a tough conference, and his team is not that strong.

I'm pretty sure episode 1 already covered Val's worst fears, so I'm not too worried about this one.

Another incident with black men getting shot by police
There is no way the cop gets a pass on that, look at all the damage to the car. edit: Ouch, I guess he was cleared. Although the suspect was firing off his rifle while walking, so hard to have too much sympathy for him.

Ted Cruz: The Comedy Gold that Keeps on Giving
I'm pretty sure being a liar and a psychopath are qualifications for being President. But seriously, Clinton is a terrible candidate. As is every potential Republican candidate. We could have a Clinton vs. Bush election! As if that doesn't show what a ridiculously small and aristocratic circle we have running this country.

Movies you've seen recently
Riddick - As a fan of the universe, I enjoyed it, but it was definitely a bit on the cheesy side. It was really a fan service movie. Apparently they are working on a 4th film, which is good, since they need to tie up all the Karl Urban storyline. The film really shines when Riddick is alone on the planet dealing with a harsh environment.
