Racists Totally Freak Out Over Muslim 'Batman of Paris'

Jan 8th 2011 10:57AM (ComicsAlliance)
It's interesting that Islam is being used by DC in this case since it's the one faith with so much controversy, and anyone who dares criticize anything with even the most tenuous connection to it is immediately labeled "racist" (despite it not being a race.)

It seems that DC is just using the muslim faith as a publicity stunt which puts a good light on them as extremely open-minded. I don't know why the character's faith is being made a point of in the first place. I never knew Batman's, Spiderman's or any other character's religion and didn't care.

When christianity is depicted in any popular format it's normally to make them look like maniacs or idiots. If not, the publisher would be criticized for shoving religion down our throats. I find the double standard pretty interesting is all.

World of Warcraft hits 11 million subscribers worldwide

Do you really think that over 1 million people have multiple accounts? Consider that the only other MMO with more than 1 million subs is RUNESCAPE to put it in perspective. The others are around 200-500k.

Not that it matters anyways. There were multiple account holders before as well, so hitting 11 million is still a huge increase.

Man I remember when this was the future WoW killer flavor of the month.

The price of a game time refund

Maybe they'll just send out a check for the 10 cents of playing time I missed.

iPhone 3G, BlackBerry Storm and Bold compared on video: awkward...

The Touch diamond and E71 are both pretty disappointing in use. They look similar, but don't really compare.

Lol @ HTC comment. Trust me, you don't want any HTC over any Blackberry.

Breakfast Topic: How hybrid DPS could still get screwed in Wrath

Oct 8th 2008 10:00AM (WoW)
One thing to consider when complaining about hybrids not getting a DPS slot is that nearly every class in WoW is a hybrid in some way. The only ones that aren't are the "pure DPS" classes. Every other class can either heal or tank.. none of them can DPS as well as a well-played pure damage class and rightly so.

If you want a class with more utility you should be willing to USE that utility, especially when it comes to raid content. If you just want to DPS, then pick a class that only does that job. That's just how this game is set up.

Respeccing is not a big deal anymore (even without the dual-spec changes whatever they are.. 50g is nothing and will be even less come lvl 80), so if you want to continue to pew pew in 5 mans and questing, go for it. But when it comes to your guild's first few undergeared attempts at a new raid you should be willing to use your chosen class to its fullest potential. Which is not DPS.

Microsoft PDC video showcases boy band, worst judgment ever

No, I think you've covered them all.

Look! Up in the sky! It's Shaman changes!

Play a Shaman. The grass always appears really green when you're not standing in it. You get a lot more familiar with the limitations - long cast times, horrible mana pool, no CC, no anti-CC worth mentioning, low survivability (non resto) - when you actually play the class.
