For teens and college kids, it's just not "cool" to be playing cartoony mario games while all your friends are killing hookers in Grand Theft Auto.
As a college gamer who owns a plethora of gaming systems, I can tell you that my friends and I have just as much fun playing games like Mario Party, Super Smash Bros., 007 Goldeneye, and Mario Kart 64 as we do owning each other at Halo 2.
Just because a game is "dark" and "edgy", that doesn't make it any more fun. And the coolness-factor of games like GTA have long since worn off in favor of multiplayer games that you can play all night with your friends.
Now if they'd just started making this one of the secondary objectives in every mission, there would hardly ever be any failed missions. It's a Win/Win situation.
"However, few would disagree with the assertion that Resident Evil 4 - a title developed from the ground-up for Nintendo's system -- was one of the prettiest games of the generation."
Yeah... Because "pretty" is the first word that comes to any one's mind when they hear "Resident Evil."
Schools like this are the reason acceptance of Darwinism has waned in the U.S. in recent years. It's unfair to blame stupidity. The truer explanation is to blame poor schooling and massive ignorance. American schools don't teach biology properly, and the cycle is repeated as political pressures born of prejudice against evolution further subvert scientific education.
I won't touch on anything else you said, but Firefly did have one scientific truth that almost every other sci-fi outing has ignored or forgotten.
Every explosion, engine burn, weapons fire, or blown hatch performed in the vacuum of space is bereft of sound on the show. Now, this novel idea seems to have been lost in the movie translation. But, it was nice to see while it lasted.
They didn't have a space program, but have developed a fairly advanced society in an alternate dimension.
It's only through that valiant efforts of John Leguizamo and Bob Hoskins that we're not all subjegated monkeys.

Well... Maybe they shouldn't have painted a giant bullseye on the side of the satellite.
DART: 50 points
NASA: -110 million dollars
...the theory that ancient civilizations are linked by a possible master race.
Stargates.
This has all already be explained by MacGyver, what more do you need?

...But who wants to hold it up to their ear all day to listen to music.
You know those things cause cancer.

Where is his science?

You'll be able to count the number of Gamecube torrents on your fingers.
Or it could have more to do with the fact that you can count the entire number of worthwhile titles for the GameCube on those same digits.

As is Smallville. Kansan mountain range and all.
