No... no it definitely HAD to be specifically about how Anomen was extremely likely to wear a dress. I'm pretty sure that was it. He just liked to feel pretty.

^I believe the argument is that if a character had the second portrait, you'd have noticed the disconnect between what s/he has on in the portrait and what his/her avatar looks like in-game.

They have some Serenity/Firefly ships but it looks like they're the larger ships. The Firefly class itself was about a 3rd of the Longbow Patrol Cruiser in size. Interesting to use this to get a sense of scale for ships from other series (or that aren't included). V'Ger was 3 times as large as the Independence Day ship...yikes! The Sovereign/Harbinger reaper types were about 2km so about the size of the Athena Class Command ship from Starship troopers.

There were actually two attempts to make another game. First one was right after the last one, stopped production because lack of interest. Second one was more recent, but it was also cancelled in favor of this new game. I'm surprised with the "lack of interest" in the first attempt, the second attempt was even tried. Not surprising they decided to do something different with the IP. I figure if they ever go back to the story of Kain (which I doubt, honestly) they'll either ignore or change whatever continuity this game creates to suit what they're doing...so still not seeing the issue.

I still laugh about HOUSE OF THE DEAD. That was a so bad its good film. Sadly ALONE IN THE DARK went past "so bad its good" and was just bad...

The same reason kotor fans will never see kotor 3. So...there were no plans for a Legacy of Kain sequel but the fact that its using the setting and not being a Legacy of Kain sequel is...upsetting?

Since its not trying to be Legacy of Kain but just set in the world...what's the issue?

If a virtual reality is indistinguishable from reality then it is reality for as long as the person is in that virtual world. The problem is in creating something that is indistinguishable.

I have no idea why you have no idea why he has no idea why he keeps coming here.

The only woman out of your league is the ones you don't try to talk with. Rejection hurts, but for all you know you're her type. Like in this case. It happens. I've hit on a lesbian before and well it happens. In at least one case I made a friend instead, and that was okay too. So be happy for them! Good on them. If they could do it, you can too. I have friends who've been happily married who overcame that when they decided being together was what they wanted (and eventually they settled the where to live question). Unless we're talking age of consent issues, age shouldn't matter that much if you're emotional and intelligence match up nicely (and if it doesn't work out...well you at least tried). Ask them to set you up then! They may know someone and be able to introduce you. Look here's a recommendation from a old phart...its possible to over think these things. And its also possible to talk yourself out of stuff. Worst regret I had was when I found out a girl I'd liked (but she was out of my league! And I lived at home! And she was dating someone! and we were friends!) confessed she'd always wanted me to ask her out... Confessed a week before her wedding. Oops. Okay, so you know her through business - have you ever met her outside of the work relationship? If no - why not try it? Meet her SO. Maybe they can turn you on to someone like her. Or maybe the SO and she'll break up and you'll be there when it happens. The big question to ask yourself is "What is it that I actually want" and setting forth a plan to achieve that. And if it fails or doesn't work out, keep trying. Which appears to have been flogged as advise and I'm probably the worst person to give advise as I'm practically a hermit these days...

Fictional structures don't exist in real life, therefore they're not part of reality. They're constructed concepts that apply to a creative work. Again life has no plot, there's no foreshadowing, you can't flashforward to events that haven't happened, etc. They aren't both magic. That is a gross oversimplification, since science CANNOT be magic by definition. The words are not the same and they do NOT describe the same thing. Science /= science fiction (and anyhow Clarke's Law 3 for fiction) Yes they are the same in that they're fiction. They're not the same in intent, structure, simulation of reality, themes, plot, audience, etc. That they're fictional makes them a fantasy, of some sort or another. Genre really only exists as a marketing tool.

Enjoyed the first ep of Agents of SHIELD. Very curious as to what's up with Coulson.

Well I think its Brendan Connelly writing the article (the head movie writer for BC) and not that he's always wrong, but I think Rich's contacts in the comic world seem stronger than Brendan's in the movie world. That said, that's the most speculation I've seen on it, thus "supposedly".

Yeah the doctor should have explained what you were going to be seeing symptom wise. Its not like you weren't going to notice!

Not an expert like an eye doctor, but my understanding is that the pupil being distorted rather than round is common in Uveitis aka Iritis. The inflamation is in the middle layer of the eye where the iris is. Since the pupil is the hole in the iris, it makes sense to me - the layman - that the pupil might end up distorted if that tissue layer is inflamed. Edit: checked a few medical sites and they seem to indicate a small or distorted pupil as being a symptom of iritis.

Supposedly the script is based on the novel Warcraft: The Last Guardian Source? Because I hadn't heard that and that book is awful. Again I said "supposedly" as plot descriptions from this article - http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/07/31/scoop-everything-we-know-about-duncan-jones-warcraft-film/ - has led people to think the story if based on the book. Knowing next to nothing about Warcraft books or games, I can only report the speculation

I haven't seen Sofaking since right before the original Mistress' Lair collapsed (he was playing in my ST RPG, but I think he was often AFK even then).

Supposedly the script is based on the novel Warcraft: The Last Guardian It was a labor of love for Twohey and Diesel. They also had to radically alter their plans since Universal wasn't keen to move forward with the second CHRONICLES film which meant a substantially reduced budget.

Second episode of SLEEPY HOLLOW was about the sasme amounts of goofy and fun as the first. Definitely did some things I didn't expect. But also a lot of "wait a minute..." moments too.

I think that's 1500 people staring at you AND taking notes...

Am I the only person tired of seeing pierced navels?

When I hit the "post" button, something awesome happens! Oh you mean in the game...carry on.

Well...that's a good question. The HP titles were licensed by WB to EA as WB has the rights to exploit the properties outside of books (with Rowling's ok). So they probably licensed to EA for the previous movie series...but with that done I guess the question is whether the license with EA was done as well (some of the side projects, like Lego HP was put out by WB).

Uwe Boll tried to buy the rights and were turned down years ago. After some time in development, they've got Duncan Jones ("Moon", "Source Code") doing it. So I actually think it might work out well based on those two movies.

Having read the review, it seems to me the biggest problem the reviewer has with the games' "misogyny" isn't that it exists in the game but that she didn't feel enough had been done to either make it real and own the reality of modern gender perception within the context of the game or to push it entirely into satire so that it made a statement about modern gender perception. Instead it existed in a nebulous realm of not managing to be a satire on modern gender perceptions but being too out there to be a reflection (and thus commentary) or real life gender perceptions.
