Everyone was borrowing shit from each other in the olden TIGSource days. Did you play Infiniminer? Because I did and that game was going for a far different thing than what Minecraft set out to do from the start. Infiniminer was voxel based and first person, yes, but it was a competitive team game borrowing heavily…

Someone says this literally every fucking year. We get it, your childhoods dead. Whatever. And us Star Wars fans lived through the Prequel years. Cry us a river.

If this isn't Pulitzer worthy journalism, I don't know what is.

Ok, seriously, why are you are watching Discovery in the first place. It's garbage television. It's for suckers. Io9 crew, I get it, its your job to write about this stuff. It's your job. But the rest of you. What the fuck? You know exactly what Discovery, Animal Planet, Nat Geo, et al have peddled for almost a…

Be sure to check dev names when you download. There's at least a few clones with the exact same name already.

I actually like these much better than the Capaldi issue 1 I grabbed a few weeks ago. Almost like if R. Crumb was a Whovian

Since it's team based how about metal head doodlers versus Lisa Frank sticker hoarders.

What kind of highschool metal head dork draws a sedan?

I think the reason it's not working for me is that even though I like the concept, the 3D nature of the game isn't selling it. I don't know about you, but I don't know of many high school kids who not only grasp perspective and anatomy but also reproduce it perfectly in every doodle they put out. Because of how 3D…

These aren't that bad, but Doctor Who comics can be a tough read because of the same reason. Matt Smith's face defies recreation.

That was basically a subplot in Miller's Dark Knight Returns. Not an actual lawsuit, since they don't know his identity, but that was essentially the argument made by Joker and Two-Face's psychiatrist. I mean, until Batman is proven right and Joker brutally murders the doc on live television.

Power levels in DBZ are fucked forever. Have been for a long time. Frieza was destroying planets by himself before he ever met Goku but somehow he's been one of the weakest villains for more than half the show's lifespan. Toriyama never really establishes any outside limit to this arbitrary plot device of "power…

We've known for decades that simply wearing black affects your self perception and therefore your behavior. Obviously camo and combat helmets would have a similar effect. By the same token, I think we underestimate how consciously attaching a camera to yourself makes you mindful of your own actions. It's not simply a…

Yea, it's obvious why he's popular, even if it's really not my thing. I definitely prefer Let's Players who do more analysis about game design and storytelling. I love the Spoiler Warning crew featuring Shamus Young and the Errant Signal guy. It's the most fun you can have listening to people just critically lacerate…

I tend to treat them like podcasts with a visual element so I can do other things. I'm getting older and really don't have the time to play a lot of games or even go through the trouble of having multiple consoles. But my job is LOOONG hours with lots of semi-downtime so getting to see lots of different games with…

Just a heads up, "red pill" carries a very specific meaning in the nutjob MRA camp. As much as I love the analogy of seeing through the mental traps of patriarchy and gender binarism and seeing the code of the matrix*, misogynists and pickup artists have co-opted the terminology in a really gross way.

Lost in Translation is a character study. But every character moment and line spoken in Casablanca either drives the plot forward, develops character, or reveals backstory. Plus, and I believe this wholeheartedly, it is the one movie that every aspiring fantasy and sci-fi writer should watch based on how efficiently…

I think the comic is finally interesting again as of the time skip.

Sooo, in my head canon I would have built midichlorians into the detective story of Episode 2 (which would have looked like a cross between Star Wars and the Maltese Falcon if I had any say in the direction). Have Palpatine attack and kill someone like Windu. Then during Obi Wan's investigation we see two slides. One…
