California's probably got more environmentalists and conservationists per capita than any other state in the union and it's drilled into us from grade school on to waste as little as you can. We (technically they, but I'll always think of it as home) just also happen to have been burdened with a...

You're a madman, Akratus. A madman! I'm quite interested in the prettiness that is the B&N Dune hardcover, myself, but I can't justify it knowing that the sequels (at the very least, the first three) have little to no hope of ever seeing release in the same format. Similar concerns re...

There may be wisdom in what you speak, but pre-emptive moderation is the devil's work. All aboard the toboggan! (Or not. Hopefully.) See, the thing is... I have never heard any objection raised to flouting gender norms that doesn't break down into arbitrary ridiculousness when you scratch the...

I'd say these days he looks more like he's got Centaur blood, which should be a lot easier to get your hands on. I'm currently playing (or rather, on hiatus from) an implant-packed drifter-for-hire, a wary, plainspoken cowboy wannabe who takes himself a little too seriously, just wants to go...

Even then, you'd risk losing all popular support domestically and (especially) abroad. With the current global society so dependent on its carefully cultivated equilibrium, doing anything to threaten that equilibrium is just as likely to negatively impact your political and commercial capital as...

If you're looking for more of the same and you don't mind a little bit of genre-bending, I'll not miss this (or any) chance to shamelessly push Altered Carbon, by Richard K. Morgan. Equal parts underworld noir and cyber(/augment/gene)punk in the updated 21st-century mold, it's easily one of the...

It's sort of a moot point for me, as I'm disqualified from military service in no less than three different ways, but unless it was a matter of quashing an unequivocal evil or resisting against an unjust occupying force, I'd have to give a lot of thought to the particulars of the actual...

I think it's reasonable that the location of V13 has been all but forgotten by the time of F2; The only people you get the chance to inform of its exact whereabouts in the first game's dialogue (ignoring anything that would get you the "Unity victory" non-canon ending) were the water merchants...

Wow. Has The Simpsons really sunk that low? I'd think it should be the clear winner there even given the "new" bit, but I haven't watched regularly in over a decade.

It's an addiction. I'd suggest starting a support group, but my reading list is too backed up to make time for the meetings. So, Naked Lunch didn't age gracefully, I'd say. Dense books, I can do. Divorcing internal narrative logic from that of the real world, I can do. Hashing out half a book's...

Sometimes I question their practicality, myself; were it not for my physical media library, my last few moves could have been handled by two trips in a family sedan. As it stands, I had to use two trucks. Speaking of books, though, I always somehow manage to forget as the spans between readings...

Ahhh. But of course. I knew that. Obviously. Just being thorough. :look: Dracula I can't vouch for yet. Sherlock, I enjoyed thoroughly, but it took some dedication. It really depends on your tolerance for turn-of-the-century language and storytelling. I'm sure they were the most gripping thing...

My girlfriend and I have both actually worked at B&N and we're working on an ever-expanding shelf of these. Is there anything in specific you'd like to know? In general, I'd say they're a good value for the money. Once in hand, it's obvious they're not individually handcrafted by artisanal...

That's assuming you don't side with Hardin, though. Hardin's questline is a walk in the park compared to McNamara's and once it's done, the only thing he makes you do to earn your training is killing a bunch of people you were probably going to kill eventually anyway.

Guys, we're talking about a universe where The Glow was still deadly radioactive 100 years after the war and radiation turned everything it didn't kill into giants or freaks in less than a single generation, not to mention the fact that the nuclear annihilation of the world, even worthless...

Fun fact: The H-Bomb was actually conceived of and championed in part as a more "merciful" bomb because, despite the overwhelming jump up in megatonnage, its design would have resulted in fewer radiation deaths and a lower level of overall contamination. Now, not to derail (or re-rail) the...

Try talking to the guard (can't say I remember which one, but there aren't that many to choose from) and seeing if he'll let you in to talk to Vic. Alternately, you can head around to the side of the room where they're holding him and talk to him through the window. See if Metzger will talk to...

I'm not sure there's really a such thing as "purely misogynist" any more than there's a such thing as "purely angry" or "purely lopsided." It's just an adjective, and I'd say it's one that the Legion meets the dictionary definition of in every sense. Saying that they're not misogynist because...

They're pretty inescapably misogynist, dude. Their culture marginalizes women, regards them as nothing more than communal property, espouses their supposed inferiority, allows them no chance at advancement from this abject station, and grants Legionaries of even the lowest echelons agency and...

Fool me seven times, shame on you. Fool me eight or more times, shame on me.
