Age of Conan -- Zero Punctuation Review
These are declining in quality, I think. The standardization of the intro/outro was the first sign of that. It's still better than most other reviews, though.

People can't fly, Superman's full of crap, but suspending that disbelief and accepting that "people from krypton can fly down here for no good reason" makes that movie world fit together.

To Believe, or Not To Believe, that is the Question... (Religion Talk Post)
The "proof" we have that there IS a consciousness is based on our personal introspective; I know I have a consciousness, because I'm thinking right now; this explanation, however, is unverifiable, as far as I know, and is not really enough to make a claim one way or the other. If I were a philosophical zombie - a being that does exactly what a "real" person would do, but with no "inner life" - I would still act as if I HAD an inner life and thoughts and so on.
It may very well be that there actually is no consciousness as a thing in itself, but only an emergent behavior caused by our brain's different parts, and that we are all philosophical zombies without knowing it.
The point I'm trying to make, is that subjective evidence is not good evidence. Your mind can be tricked very easily, which is why the scientific method involves multiple tests and controlled environments. Uri Geller may SEEM like he can bend spoons with his mind, so the subjective evidence is that he can; in a controlled environment, however, he is a fraud as all "magicians" who claim they aren't making illusions.
