Reveal that Nathan (or Caleb) is an AI? That would have been a colossal cop-out. The scene where Caleb’s head is so fucked up from being stretched into a rope in Nathan and Ava’s tug-of-war, he cuts himself to verify that he’s not an AI was my favorite scene in the movie.

To be fair, recent history hasn’t been as simple as “team’s losing, let’s stay home”.

Well, there’s scam, eggs, bacon, and scam. That's not got much scam in it.

No, the robot doesn’t “classify” anything. It moves to a pre-programmed position, expects a piece of steel to be there, clamps down regardless of what is actually there, and moves to another pre-programmed position. It’s every bit as mindless as a hydraulic press, which is why the safety protocols consist of “cut the…

They can’t, not even for material breach, until the NHL resolves his suspension. When the league suspended him, his contract was effectively frozen. That’s why the Kings petitioned the league for cap relief, which was especially galling in conjunction with letting him practice with the team.

Did the robot think

The Pens’ defense was injured all playoff long. Or did you think Taylor Chorney was earning his ice time by being better than Letang, Maatta, and Ehrhoff? Out-the-door smear campaigns aside, I still don’t see the hockey sense in Despres for Lovejoy, but Lovejoy was forced into more minutes than he was ever intended to…

To me, cyberpunk’s hook is how technology and the race for progress are not just a disruptive force but a destabilizing force.

I’m struggling to see where “bad code”, “shoddy QA”, “lack of contractor oversight”, and “the publisher shipped it anyway” are hardware faults.

And yesterday’s “Looks like a Dart!” crowd will be leading the way, right?

Jason, you missed the part where the timed exclusive has a timed exclusive: 7-11 gets the coded cans one month before other retailers. Holy crap, it’s customer-fucking turtles all the way down.

Honest question: How many of you can’t (not won’t but can’t) drink Red Bull? I’m just trying to figure out if, along with time-locking content because you bought the wrong console or won’t participate in a contemptuous, cynical marketing ploy, Bungie has now time-locked content because of pre-existing medical…

Mini really needs to make at least one car that’s actually mini at some point.

That Colombian defender streaking in on Morgan’s right was still behind Morgan and the ball when Perez committed the foul, so regardless of the edge of the box, Perez could have been carded on the “last defender” rule (or whatever they’re calling it these days). When you combined those two factors, not giving a red…

If anything, the Pennsylvania State Police around Pittsburgh are rather enlightened about speed limit enforcement: The flow is the limit. I think the troopers have figured out that if they stick to ticketing the stupid drivers, they’ll still have no trouble making their quotas. If they’re going to pull you over for…

Halo? Before last night, I would have said “Never”. Today? I’m thinking the Master Chief Collection may eventually find its way to Windows, but if it does, they won’t speak a word of it until after Halo 5 has been on the market for a month or so. MCC is still carrying too much weight on the Xbox One side to risk…

I don’t know if they just assumed it would suck, got a bug up their butts about a rival site’s involvement, or if they just didn’t consider the consequences of blowing it off. The wise choice would have been to give it a first-year mulligan. But choosing to ignore a platform-level show instead of live-blogging it,…

Yep. 11/10/15, same day as Fallout 4. This game’s pre-launch has been bungled in so many ways:

How can we have Hawkguy without Pizza Dog?
