Re: The culinary atrocity thread
In Americanese food lingo, "light" almost always refers to being lower in calories. Light beer is called that because it has fewer calories than regular beer. However, the calories are almost all carbohydrates in the alcohol, so reducing calories basically means reducing the alcohol content slightly. So, light beer usually… -
Re: Why you need an education
Actually no, it's not good. If you're going to write something like this try to be correct for the majority of cases. Or else specify who the audience is. Lots of silly untrue generalizations in here. There are fantastic game art colleges in the world; Northern Europe, England and Scotland, Asia I'm sure... Just because… -
Re: Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Because everyone is smart enough to know that this is just a character in a game, we can't try to be protective about every bad portrayal of someone with a certain skin-tone or gender. But showing of african-americans as violent gun-wielding gangmembers in deus ex is totally fine? (which is by far a stronger stereotype… -

Re: The Wacky Remake of the Office on NBC!
I'd be tuning in for YHiPs, no doubt. I think I may be conceding something to Kevin by admitting this, but I really don't understand the seeming need for British productions to be 'Americanized' before they're aired in America. Plenty of American shows air in Britain and do relatively well, never heard a Brit complain that… -
Re: Quantic Dream's Kara
illusions, it doesn't have to be there for a sinister purpose to be worth comment. This kind of thing almost never is done with malice -- it's done out of thoughtlessness. Generally one must be careful if one is a part of a privileged group to listen to the perspectives of those not in their group about these sorts of…
