Creepy notifications like you get from news apps, sent to everyone playing as clues that you can crowd source answers. Location based clues like if you go to Target or McDonalds. Just a persistent, though not intrusive (because you can turn off the sounds), reminder of the game. Go to the store, *ding*, "I can see…

This sounds more like a problem with Ubisoft than anything. This smacks of the female assassin skin job. Certainly people should expect the best from their products. Why WOULDN'T a developer make the best and downscale from there? Ubisoft continues to be lazy, either in their development or their excuses, though…

Hey, Capcom? Why not remake Mega Man over and over for every generation?

The ribbing on the stomach all the way to the crotch, versus metal briefs of the Cybusmen, and in the thighs, knees, shoulders, & wrists, looks like they took a cue from Iron Man to give them that sense of mobility you mention. I do like the designs, these are much more action figure than Tin Man, but I need to see…

Copied from a response I posted in "Doctor Who and the Codependency of the Daleks"

But! How awful would it be to realize you've been forgotten? If what it took to bring the Doctor back to the rebooted universe was to REMEMBER the Doctor, what would happen if no one knew who he was, if his existence and exploits were erased? Yes, that might mean old enemies would be running amok, but that's not to…

The kid’s eyes threatened to pop right of his skull. If you don’t live on the Blister you don’t live near the Blister. Wicked storms lash at the shores of the Moon where it was brought down in the Atlantic Ocean some five hundred years ago. Every now and then we get a Lull, quiet enough for the mining boats to come…

Because the second one was already being built. The first one was a weapon in reserve for several years, a proof of concept that was never actually used until Alderaan. I'm totally making this up...

"Studies have shown that imitating an accent makes it easier to hear what the person is saying to you."

So, lots of stuff about Diablo III; good, bad, whathaveyou, seems to be a story concerning it every day now. I own the first Diablo for PC, never committed the time to play it. Should I? Has it aged well? I tried to play it when I first got it, but either through ignorance or impatience, I couldn't make it very…

It is this "understanding" of religion that leads to groups like Dune's Bene Gesserit. There's been many articles, here and otherwise, that have advocated the benefits of religion in it's purest, most well-intentioned forms, and of course everyone knows (if not agrees with) the adage that there'd be a lot less WAR…

So, this potential three parented baby...he could be Latin, Arabic, and upper Asian?

I've had a story idea for a while that involves the idea of you can only travel as far back as the first instance of time travel, but it's a rule that's strictly enforced. Observation of previous time can occur, but only at a distance, and these cloaked, or out of phase vessels that people travel in to check out the…

I remember seeing this a long while ago, and the comments then seemed to suggest it was viral marketing for the then newly released Metroid Prime: Echoes, because the ship, in profile, is vaguely reminisicent of Samus Aran's ship. It's very neat, but I dismissed it immediately. But I also thought, how come Hollywood…

I was just discussing this with a friend on FB, and I think Cillian Murphy should play Connor and Javier Bardem as Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez. I said Jason Statham as the Kurgen for the gonzo factor, but Gerard Butler would probably be pretty badass there.

Think of it like a fax machine, back when they were first on the scene, it took several minutes for a single page, but that was ridiculously faster than physical mail. Over the years, faxes got faster, depending on your machine and connection, transmission can take just seconds. It is a transference of data over a…

I think movie-voice-narration-guy is a bad sign, too, and like other discussion, this is something Prometheus has picked up. To be fair though, it seems like the narrated trailers aren't American trailers so maybe it works in other markets. Oversaturating the market with viral crap can give too much away or make you…

Forgive me if it's already been said, I'm at work with limited connection and have to do my three step posting, but I think it's HILARIOUS that a potential picture of the Divine in a double halo is interupted by...Diablo III.

Fairly certain, what with the bell, Belly and Olivia trade spots, but only Walter knows for sure, and sacrifices Olivia's body to kill William Bell once and for all since she is his alternate method of survival.

This. I've actually joked at the fact that when I was much younger I habitually lied, I'd go so far as to say in younger days I was a pathological liar, but I focused that into writing. Focusing it into writing is mostly heinous, but I have wondered if there wasn't a subconcious thrill to just simply fabricating…
