I'm basically the same, but most PC games seem to have decent controller functionality these days. I'm not realy sure where the controller is an issue for the PC for 'console-style' games, since nearly all of them work with the XBOX-style USB controller. Skyrim and Fallout: Vegas handle like a drea...

I'm very thankful not to have needed public transportation for long. Just a little bit in college (which wasn't so bad, since it was a college town and it was common for everyone to use it to get to the mall), and then an agonizing couple of months in Baltimore from when our Zephyr finally died unti...

Well, it doesn't look like that Sony, Nintendo, or Microsoft has learned anything from the dissapointment this generation of consoles have brought as it heads into the sunset. I see a lot of tech-graphics which kinda look cool, but they're not exactly revolutionary (particularly if you game at all o...

Roberts and Barber had been doing that. It's been pretty popular so far.... But it sure as hell isn't attracting new readers the way Dreamwave, Furman or McCarthy had. Transformers is a nostalgia brand for many people (such as nearly everyone on this forum), but that isn't a guarantee of large numb...

Fans aren't the target audience though, so it doesn't matter what we think... For IDW, the 'core fan' is indeed the target audience. They don't have the numbers for it to be anyone else... I quite liked having a break from Autobots and Decepticons, with Maximals, Predacons and Vehicons. But it's ne...

KreO Springer and Insecticon Won't go into too much detail here. Cute little figures, though somewhat marred with the 'over-vest' on them both (a little unavoidable on Springer). The half-vests really need to start showing up more. Cyberverse Smokescreen Surprisingly good figure, though a little in...

Okay, read your previous posts. I don't know much hippies, as they are before my time, but last I recall, hipsters are not so much imperialist as much as they are "I'll-put-some-pseudo-intellectual-ramblings-about-western-decadence-on-the-internet-and-feel-pleased-with-myself-while-I-shop-for-...

Anyways, what make the communists "Left" and the NATO Hawks "Right"? they both seem pretty imperialist to me, and the hippies and hipsters(who hate imperialism) consider themselves "Left Wing". Hippies and hipsters tend to be among the most authoritarian on the left si...

What i mean is, why is is both the extreme left and right dictatorships? I thougth one is about 'freedom' or some such. The 'extreme right-wing' being a fascist state was an deliberate invention of WWII, designed to make allying with the Soviet Union more appealing to fight the Nazis. The Nazis had...

Really? That's fascinating! Care to elaborate please? We really don't want to have this discussion here, but what I would recommend to you if you're really curious is to read a lot of the New York Times articles from the early part of the 1930s, up to about late 1937 or so. For that period, most we...
