I don’t hate the idea of having a game in the Metroid universe without Samus. What I just don’t get is the art style. The chibi proportions of the soldiers just don’t seem to fit with any visual style previously seen in the IP.

If I don’t have any hope that a world is anything other than horrible things happening to people, then I am no longer vested in that world.

The ant doesn't have to decide anything. Nature can simply select those traits and program for them the same way you jerk your hand away from a hot stove without thinking about it.

I don't really see why this suggests a higher abstraction in their brain. Couldn't you write a few lines of code to do the same thing?

YOUR WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED.

Was Lee ever that young? It seems improbable.

I had much the same thought — in fact, Disney could do worse than to make its various ‘spin-off’ films follow well-known genres: heist, detective noir, brutal war film, etc.

The Moon looks a lot closer than it really is. This image really exemplifies how far away the moon really is.

I wish I could think of some good image from physics since I know that better than some other areas of sciece but I can’t.

Which is why we don’t see demos. That’s basically what this looks like, people are buying the game, realizing it’s not good or worth the price, and getting a refund. That sounds like how I’d use the refund system, as a way to check out the game (sort of like Sony’s 60 minute trial on some games).

When all you have are ossicones, the world looks like something you would hit with your ossicones.

Game of Thrones isn’t a morality play. It’s a reality play. Stop looking for reason. George R.R. Martin creates nuanced characters capable of good and evil, puts their backs against the wall, and lets them snap. Sansa’s rape probably didn’t serve some great narrative purpose. Neither did Shireen’s execution. But it’s…

Nah, she was pretty important to Winter Soldier. Cap is a pretty boring guy; she (and Falcon) giving him the time of day made him interesting. It was also pretty good when, in the middle of the big street fight, she got in over her head with Winter dude and had to retreat for once. Plus she kicks guys off buildings to…

Coming from the perspective of a Japanese consumer of comics (Manga), the American comic book industry is really puzzling. With a exceptions that can be counted on one hand, no comic series runs longer than 10-15 years—and any comic that actually runs longer than 3-4 years is a mega-hit comic. The vast majority of…

Sandman should be made as Netflix or HBO series with a decent enough budget
