Goddamn, she’s cute. Cute’n crazy.

Goddamn those Halo animations. Halo 4 had some flaws, but it was gorgeously crafted. If they could pair that visual excellence with some more of Halo 3’s gameplay variety, I’d be quite happy.

“Is this fight canon?” made me lol so hard.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop drinking...

I had to spend the night in O’Hare once, due to a severe storm. I was just passing through, so I had nowhere to go. Thinking that I’d see about a hotel right outside, I opted to leave the airport to inquire about the cost of a room. Right out of the door I was nearly blown off my feet by one of the strongest gusts of…

Surely, someone at Disney has the ability to recognize the poor decisions Lucas made with his Special Editions, and surely technology exists to somehow mitigate them. If they have to release a “Special Special Edition” with scenes from old VHS or Laser Disc copies of pre-Special Editions glued on to the screens, I say…

I remembered loving that movie as a kid, mostly because I thought the Apache was the bee's knees. So I was excited to rewatch it as an adult a couple years ago, and was deeply disappointed. It's a terrible movie. The helicopters were the most convincing actors in the whole thing.

God, I love Starcraft. I wish I wasn’t completely worthless at it. I used to watch friends play, and that was pretty neat.

Wow. I'm totally over that 90's techno song and the movie it came from, and yet... it actually works surprisingly well. It's so over-the-top and on the nose, but frankly, that's what Mortal Kombat is all about.

I wasn't criticizing, I was admiring the sick burn at the end of your post, and the dig at Disney implied with your use of that The Who song. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss!" Nice.

Daaaaamn... harsh, son.

Never been good at dating. I kind of fell into a couple of relationships over the years, but neither lasted more than a couple off again-and-on again years, and that was when I was in my early-mid 20s. In my 30s now, and frankly, I've pretty much given up. I'm too much of a selfish, shallow person to really form…

I have to admit, I've been enjoying the hell out of the Marvel films, but I don't give a shit about comic books in general. So, I think you're making a pretty solid point there.

Well said, and it's nice to see comments by people who haven't jumped on the anti-Halo 4 bandwagon. I think 4 actually managed to humanize Chief quite a bit, and while it could've had a bit more variety and adventure in game play, I think a lot of old-school fans over-estimate how gripping he was as a character in…

Nice. I hope this iteration of Halo has a complex story to tell. Of course, I don't believe 343 will even remotely turn MC into a "bad guy," but it would be great to see a story-line with some moral ambiguity and depth beyond the typical, Earthlings versus Covenant/Flood/Prometheans, stuff.

As someone who learned to shoot at 7 years old, raised by a Vietnam-era Marine, and in a multi gun-owning household, I always find it amusing to encounter people whose only understanding of firearms comes from movies or video games. But I can't blame anyone for wanting to believe that hand-held gatling guns is a…

Yeah, I spent more time than I'd rather say watching friends playing either FF 7 or Tactics, and ever since I've always just rolled my eyes and lost interest whenever I heard the name come up. But this looks a lot different than I remember FF being...

Good questions. I found Skyrim a great leap forward from Oblivion in a lot of ways, but in some ways the world was more restricive and less alive. The faction quests in particular were much less involved and satisfying (especially the Mages College, holy crap) and the magic system seemed kind of weak. Over all,…

I loved Oblivion and Skyrim, and I mean, really really loved them. But I desperately hope Bethesda does everything in its power to make the next Elder Scrolls game as deep and involving as possible, because I can easily see the series becoming increasingly stale and mediocre while similar franchises, Dragon Age, The…

I just moved to Colorado from Southern New Mexico and have had to drive on some pretty awful roads this winter. My advice, though others will probably scoff, is just to drive reeally slowly. The locals here seem to feel like they're perfectly fine driving 65 on a completely iced-over and whited out highway and the…
