    Official Prometheus Discussion Thread!!

    I really wanted to like this movie, but I couldn't get past the bland characters and perfunctory plotting. It seemed almost like they spent most of their time writing a sophomoric essay on metaphysics and forgot to build an actual movie around it when the time came. It's really too bad, since...

    Obama declares support for gay marriage

    In such an instance the religious community is creating the problem for itself by holding its property out for rental to the general public.

    Obama declares support for gay marriage

    That would depend entirely on the basis and rationale of the decision. For example, DOMA could feasibly be invalidated under Article 1 rather than the Fifth Amendment, which wouldn't mean very much with regard to the validity of other discriminatory legislation. It may be a long time coming...

    Mass Effect 3 Discussion Thread

    From what I understand of the morality system, paragon/renegade/reputation points are basically interchangeable, so I wouldn't worry about it.

    Survivor: Philippines thread

    Yeah. I usually don't pay too much attention to this show when my fiance watches it, but tonight I found myself marveling at how this men's tribe seems to be the greatest conglomeration of abject morons to ever grace a television screen. EDIT: I also laughed out loud when the guy who couldn't...

    I used to think Phantoms were bad, but then I fought a Banshee. Ick.

    Armored targets are immune to stasis.

    I'm expecting BioWare to give Phantoms armor in the retail version just to troll us.

    It's only included in the cerberus network with the PS3 version, as I recall.

    I'm fairly sure Salarian Engineer isn't unlockable in the demo.

    Mass Effect 3 Discussion Thread

    I'm not so sure. I put all the buffs into Cryo and Incinerate that I could and the damage didn't seem to increase appreciably, to say nothing of the supposed snare effect. Whereas upgraded Overload strips most defenses in one shot, knocks down undefended targets and hits more than one target per...

    I suppose that's more a consequence of stasis being overpowered than anything else. Still, with ability loadouts being locked like they are it'd be nice if certain configurations weren't so obviously superior to others. Case in point, I unlocked the Quarian Engineer the other night and played a...

    Mass Effect 3 Discussion Thread

    I wish there were a bit more parity between races within some of the classes in multiplayer. e.g., I can't really see any reason to use a Human Adept once you've unlocked the Asari. The same probably goes for the Human and Salarian Infiltrators too.

    Interracial Marriage on the Rise.

    Your niece is also your cousin? That must get confusing.

    Mass Effect 3 Discussion Thread

    Well, it took about 8 veteran packs but I finally unlocked a new character. At least it's an interesting one (Asari Adept).

    Mass Effect 3 Discussion Thread

    Man, I've bought 6 veteran packs as well as a few recruit packs on top of that and haven't unlocked any new characters at all. How annoying. That said, I'd love to play with you guys if anyone ends up putting another group together this weekend.

    Yeah. EDIT: And on a bit of a side note, I wish they'd have allowed for loadout customization in the SP demo, since most classes don't play very well with 15+ second ability cooldowns.
