This made-up "terror/horror" distinction is going to be the new "nerd/geek/dork" thing, isn't it? Where no real distinction exists in the world and it's instead a passive-aggressive way of casting gut-feeling criticism in a faux-scientific light?

"The horror-game renaissance" has taught me that other people who play video games are much more easily frightened than I am, I guess. I'm a horror buff and it's been pretty disappointing for me.

Forget Stephen King.

Those are arbitrary definitions for the terms that don't map to anything that I've ever seen.

The glitches were a nice touch, but the story wasn't great. That buried the horror element for me.

Those of us who missed P.T. can't get it easily, so I'd enjoy it if you can.

I thought you meant your wife was an opiate addict. You mean you're opposed to all pills?

…

It's a technique known as motion capture.

Nope. As always, you have to be on the left, and far further to the left than any Democrat is comfortable being (Sanders supporters included).

I liked this for the same reason a lot of people probably did, because they've walked through malls during October with their friends and marveled at things like what obviously inspired this, the jack-o'-lantern-covered suit jacket, where the link between the product and spooky Halloween times seems purely theoretical.

Aquaman's been handled that way for decades, for whatever it's worth. They'd really have to dig back to find stories where he's not portrayed as ornery and bull-headed.

I'm pretty sure Zack Snyder, too, would describe many of his movies as "a classic sort of swashbuckling action adventure" and then deliver a hyperbole-laden "this movie is X beloved movie meets Y beloved movie" elevator pitch about them.

Nintendo's betting it's something like 50 million assholes, I reckon.

I don't see any indication of that, and Matt says below he feels it's a point that they don't show any of that in this video.

I'm not aware of any credible rumors that there's going to be a Mario game at launch, but maybe they're sitting on it?

And yet… how'd it turn out for the Wii U with third-party titles? (I own one too, if that's any consolation.)

My issue is that I'd been playing games from that same era on a mid-price laptop for long enough that I've long since moved on. There may be an untapped market for it, though.

Nintendo is full of a lot of fun ideas and I like their consoles overall. I've bought every one since the NES… eventually.

Fox threw the audience to the wolves on that stuff around the time they introduced Emma Frost as a kid in the 1970s, then re-introduced her as a full-grown adult in 1962.
