I recently finished Assassin's Creed 4 (surprisingly moving in places) and I'm looking forward to jumping back and playing the second and third Ezio games as I only ever played AC2 before. To break up all the assassining a bit I'm doing a replay (with the difficulty cranked up) of Mass Effect 2, one of the only games…

I liked how the brain poker machine just kept saying, "Does this bug you? Does this bug you?"

Moffat has said recently that the Doctor can't go anywhere the Ponds at this point because they've accrued so much timey-wimey scar tissue that any more tampering will cause the universe to explode or something. Silly, certainly, but comes with the territory of the show.

I like to believe there were just two bicycles in the garage and he just concluded they were components for a half complete quadracycle.

Be with us next time for "Much Ado About Nothing," or "Pussy Riot."

@avclub-d80ecbbbef6ab40a4e53d1ad2c3fc1b2:disqus Well, take Portal 2 for example. In broad strokes the story is that our protagonist wakes up in a dangerous environment, picks up an ally and nifty gadget, and bests her foe. Then, in a big twist, foe becomes ally and our protagonist has to team up with her old enemy to…

He's got some great material to work with in Portal alone: several vivid, hilarious characters, a distinct setting, conflict, humor, and a great conceptual hook in the portal gun mechanics. Fun things have been made from less.

So do we think no good movies have been made from video games because of something inherent about the move from the one medium to the other or just because it's a relatively small sample size and some not great material (with a few exceptions) to draw from?

Vibrating with excitement at two megahertz, and then again at four.

Ok, ok, velocipede.

Ok, ok, velocipede.

I recently re-watched Goldfinger and was kind of amazed by how much milage the movie gets out of Bond being not all that great at his job.

That always bothered me a bit about Angel too. I mean, sure it's the apocalypse and whatnot but it's just such a commute to LA.
