You’re right. I am not a comic book fan at all, but I love the MCU movies. I know Thanos is the big bad, but I really don’t know why he is any more threatening than the Chitari invasion, Ultron, or Bruce Banner on a bad day. I hope this movie is able to make it sufficiently clear.

Jennifer Connelly is such a tallented actress. But it’s hard for me to get past how ridiculously gorgeous she is, especially in movies like Dark City and Requiem for a Dream. She was pretty much my top celebrity crush throughout my 20s.

Now, That is how you review a game: like a nerdy Hunter S. Thompson. Lots of people try to pull off rambly, tangential videos full of vaguely unrelated anecdotes, but somehow, you’ve done it. Or maybe I’m biased because of my nostaglic love for Turok and its sequel.

Wow, a lot of movie fans here seem to think they know more than a professional. I personally think he make’s a good point. Movie fans seem to think that DC made its movies dark and emo out of some misunderstanding of the characters and audience. I think DC tried (and failed) to make the characters interesting and…

Sorry, but I think almost everything said here is utterly wrong. The Enterprise B and D are both beautiful designs that are not only elegant but also cleverly display the world building of classic-Trek by subtly suggesting technological evolution. The shooting model of the Ent C, in comparison, was clearly crafted…

Siigh. Been wanting to play this again for 13 years. I’ve never regretted buying a 360 or Xbox One instead of a Sony console. But between this new remake, Bloodborne, Hellblade, and Horizon Zero Dawn, I do wish I had the money and time to devote to getting multiple systems and playing All the games. :(

Maybe it’s because the huge eyes in Manga are stupid and creepy to begin with. There, I said it.

So can anyone tell me, is Wolfenstein 2 noticibly that much harder than The New Order? I played through TNO and The Old Blood on ‘Bring Em On’, I think. I found the more chaotic battles challenging, but not so much that I was repeatedly dying or getting overly frustrated. I mean, I’m not hardcore at all, but I was…

I’ve not been shy in expressing my dislike for the Nolan trilogy. I suppose I must concede that they are well crafted films, but Heath Ledger is the one thing I truly enjoyed in any of them. I don’t generally bother to complain about movies I don’t care for, this is the one exception, because I cannot stand how much…

Oof. I certainly won’t go out of my way to see Loveless. I sat through Lillia Forever a few years ago, and kicked me so hard in the feels that my male pattern baldness had advanced a quarter inch and I simultaneously began going gray the very next day. I’ve had all the Eastern European Feel-Bad movies I need in my…

I have a fairly large backlog, without even counting the gaming “projects” I’ve begun and haven’t finished. Through Games With Gold and various sales I’ve downloaded Dishonored, Crackdown, Gears of War Judgement, Tomb Raider Definitive Edition, Red Dead Redemption, and Castlevania SotN. In the last year I also…

I remember being just a half-step above a toddler, sometime around 1985 or so, and being obsessed with the Star Wars soundtrack my parents had on a vinyl record. The sleeve had pictures from the movie that I would stare at everyday. At some point we walked over to a neighbor’s house one evening to watch the movie,…

Calling people “boring” and “ignorant” because they weren’t flocking to see a thoughtfully crafted, slow-paced, artful sci-fi sequel to a 35 year old film most people haven’t even heard of is cruel and snobbish.

This has been a problem with Star Wars since Return of the Jedi, honestly- when someone decided that a villiage of stick-wielding teddy bears would become the Rebellion’s greatest ally against the Empire. And the massive amount of squandered potential of the Prequels. And the all-too familiar resolution of The Force…

Yes! Tolkein may have informed the Fantasy genre, but his work is more akin to a historical recreation of ancient region-specific mythology. It’s not an immediately distinct difference, but an important one nevertheless. One of the reasons people often find The lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion so boring is…

Same. It was obvious that Tarkin was a cartoon, but he didn’t bother me. Leia on the other hand... total uncanny valley.

The evolution of videogame graphics in my lifetime is fascinating (born the year Atari released “Dig Dug” and “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial” on the 2600). So I enjoyed this article. But holy shit, WWII spanned many years and dramatic events- can developers please let go of this need to always recreate Saving Private…

I know I’ve seen the Jesus-Armwrestling-Satan one, but I don’t remember if it was actually on Facebook prior to the election, or if I saw it later being used ironically as a gag somewhere. Could easily be either.

There are already a lot of suspiously irate one-star ratings for this game on Amazon. I wouldn’t like to speculate on the motives behind all the bad reviews... but it’s hard not to imagine a lot of alt-right types taking exception to BJ’s family history and his choice of new friends in this game.

I have to agree with the majority of the commentary here: a year by year timeline really isn’t that important. At all. It is unimportant to a humorous degree. This is a series where Norse Gods are Australian underwear models, AI can have human personalities, space Racoons are engineering geniuses, and the laws of…
