Looking at footage now. It does look pretty great, as far as the action goes. But the character design looks not so great. So much hair in everyone’s faces. And that guy in the super modern trenchcoat. Ugh.

Copy and save. This is awesome.

Hmm...

Ugh. Sorry to hear about the situation in Sweden. I was talking to my wife this weekend about this. There’s a lot of discussion in the U.S. about the fact that the right wing is moving further and further to the right, and she was wondering whether other countries have similar problems. I was pretty sure that there’s…

You’re already aware of this, but these guys are either dumb or knee-jerk clannish, and really not putting your comments into proper context. Anyone who cares specifically about Japan, and East-Asia politics in general, should be totally concerned about the swing towards nationalism. Concerned, not panicking in the…

Don’t forget that, during his time (and maybe after), Kurosawa was shit on pretty hard by peers and critics for aping Western styles and techniques.

Are there any good live-action adaptations of anime/manga? Honest question, since I certainly can’t recall one. If the painfully small VFX budgets and dinner theater-style production values aren’t bad enough, the tendency to import the inevitable melodrama without tweaking it for film (or, get this, replacing it with…

Kojima totally deserves to be lambasted for the Ground Zeroes cameo. That goddamn smirk...

The show’s premise is a real high-wire act, anyway, in terms of exploring really dark ideas without diving right into the abyss. That it succeeds has a lot to do with its ridiculously sunny tone.

It takes a special kind of MRA motherfucker to imagine someone inviting the sort of unfair stigma that comes with announcing that you’ve been raped, and risk being defined by that for the rest of your life. And yet, those mofos are legion.

Oh yeah, this guy is a complete asshole. I just loved how Totillo approached the challenge of profiling this sort of jerk. The story isn't a defense of him or his behavior, but it doesn't just hammer at him, either, which would be boring and u enlightening.

You’re killing me with this one. That kicker image! Well done.

the fact that this dispute is between McDonald’s and Florida makes this the Kobayashi Maru of fast food news stories:

So

MMA grosses me out, but this article is riveting. Great work, Mr. Grayson.

That might be true, as far as setting up the Hololens. But that product also shares a lot of the same downsides as Kinect. It seems fantastic for tech demos, but for games? Not seeing it. Especially considering how misleading that Minecraft thing was, what with the narrow field of view.

I forgot all about Kinect. Yeah, that certainly didn’t help things.

Yeah, the Xperia Z’s are my favorite Android phones, by far. The fact that Japan hasn’t gone crazy for them, as opposed to the iPhone, is pretty solid evidence that it’s not a nation of Sony fanboys. Or at least that Sony can be beaten, with a good enough product.

Argh. Clicked on this link, seriously psyched to read about your Battlefront impressions, and to-

You just made me awful nervous about my own imminent baby boom. Upgrading my food/water resources, and praying the Vault gods that they aren’t born all at once.
