Suda 51 announces 'Sine Mora' for XBLA, PSN

@LockeDaemonfire Chopped liver is actually a good meal when you haven't been getting your RDA of iron recently. ME2 on PS3 is more like a big unrefrigerated bag of asparagus.

Valve files 'DOTA' trademark

I read that as "DOTT" in the rss feed and got all excited for the Purple Tentacle. :(

LA Times: Atari in discussions over Missile Command movie

If it was about the programmer who started to have nightmares about cities being destroyed while he was working on the game, I might be interested. That'd make a nice Lynch-ish psychological thriller.

But more likely it'll be "can Steven Seagal punch a missile so hard, it gets reflected back to Jupiter and blows up the evil Gas Aliens?"

...wait, that could be pretty good too.

Oh, boo hoo. I bet you think items make it "unplayable" too.

Of course, they've got us here in the comments to do that. ;D

PETA reacts strangely to Overlord II's 'Whack-a-Seal' minigame

Hahahahaha okay, okay, you can stop now, I get it, you're trolling. There's no way anyone could honestly refer to "nazi seal killers" in the same breath as stating that the Inuit "use seals for sustenance." Inuit communities not only in Canada but also Greenland are heavily against banning the sale of seal products. In other words, they're into the business side of it, just like all the rest of the "seal clubbing baby killer massacre gestapo."

You had me goin' for a bit, but you honestly couldn't be dumb enough to cherry-pick your level of vehemence against assorted groups of people based on flimsy, baseless generalizations. Anyone who actually researched the seal hunt would know that the Inuit version is every bit as vicious (or humane) as the more widely known Newfoundland hunt, and both deserve the same amount of derision or support. Get some more facts next time! You almost got me!

Where are you getting these numbers? Do you have even so much as a single publication you can cite? I posted a fair and balanced CBC article, the least you could do is respond in kind. Otherwise you just sound like you're making it up as you rant.

Also, kudos for ranking Vladimir Putin higher than the Canadian government. He might be a ex-soviet bully with ties to the Russian mob who cracks down on dissent and freedoms while attempting to poison Ukranian politicians and KGB spies who he doesn't like, but damnit, he stopped Russia's sea hunt! Слава нашему великому русскому фашистской повелитель!

"The largest, most savage massacre of wildlife on the planet?" Um. Poachers in Africa, anybody? They're far more dangerous and less humane, and they cripple the local economy and the ecosystem to a much greater degree than what you're claiming about the seal hunt. But I guess a big ugly rhinocerous just doesn't recruit as many bleeding hearts as a cute little seal.

And your statements about the DFO are ludicrous and unfounded. "The DFO [...] denies charges that the seal hunt is not sustainable. It says Canada's seal population is "healthy and abundant" at about 5.6 million animals and triple what it was in the 1970s." Source: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2009/05/05/f-seal-hunt.html

But hey, I tell you what: if PETA can explain to me how to lower Newfoundland's skyrocketing unemployment rate (15% in areas with the most jobs) and how the residents are supposed to recover the missing one-third of their annual income from stopping the seal hunt, then I'll excuse their rhetoric -- though not their tactics. Sorry, but any organization that would compare a six-person massacre in British Columbia to what happens to a chicken when it becomes a KFC Snack Wrapper is utterly incorrigible.

Bravo, mate. Exactly what I was thinking of posting.

Eesh, No More Heroes misses the cut because it's "only" got an 83. Time to ride my vertically augmented horse up to the top of my alabaster superstructure and proclaim, "yea, and this is why I deign to ignore ye olde-fashioned numerical review scores." ;D
