I am so excited that Bioshock is continuing, but not remaining tied to what has gone before. I'm about 300 pages into Thomas Pynchon's magnificent "Against the Day" which features dirigibles, anarchists, railroad tycoons, gunslingers, pshychic powers and more, and it sounds like Bioshock Infinite will be pushing some…

@lazerus72: I haven't found Whedon's quips to be 'snarky' or overdone in the Diablo Cody style since the Buffy days, the only possible angsty pu**y on Firefly was Simon, and I liked Astonishing well enough, but if he's not you're cuppa, gustibus non disputandam est, etc...

@lazerus72: Before he signed on for Avengers, I thought X-Men could be the vehicle that could bring Joss Whedon some success on TV again. Honestly, I still feel this way. There would be an audience because it's the freaking X-Men, Whedon knows the characters, and there's plenty of room for the wisecracking, the…

Is the price that high due to tarriffs? I can understand how supply and demand can cause higher or lower prices across different regions, but it's hard to understand how Sony is taking a loss at that price point if there aren't a ton of taxes driving the price up. Does anyone know?

This is awesome, and I commend Double Fine for learning from Brutal Legend and not putting all their eggs in one (I thought pretty awesome) basket. XBLA and PSN is absolutely a great space for them to build confidence and experiment.

@jack2pot: I totally thought of inception glancing at this post.

Exclusive, schmexclusive... it's all about the plague mask. Go Doctor, or Go Home!

@Bondage_Zombie: Thanks for the heads-up. I've been waiting for that price point, not because I don't think it's worth more, just because of a limited gaming budget.

I somehow thought there would be a great deal on Arkham Asylum.

@BreadKnight: What you say is true... opponents of equal human rights will be glad to take this fight as far as possible, and to frame it in the starkest terms. But I feel it is an argument worth having, again and again, in the highest courts, in the most public of venues. And I believe that ultimately, as an agnostic…

@astidcrisse: I am in shock: pupils dilated, nauseated, pale as a ghost, chills, etc. I simply cannot believe that the word 'porn' was not mentioned in the body of the article. I did not look at who posted this, and won't until I've clicked 'share', but it would have to be Crecente or perhaps Totilo, no?

Sounds like a non-denial-denial that Nintendo's next console will be surprising.

@Smash_Bro: The minifig on the right in that picture looks like chesty Jake Gyllenhaal from the PoP movie, but dressed in Western duds.

In Super Mario games, I quite often do not kill enemies unless they pose a threat, are blocking my path, or I need a coin to restore my health. It's not like I need the 'points', as the goal is, except for bosses and mini-bosses, never to kill enemies, but usually to reach a hard to reach spot or fulfill some other…

@wrexingcrew: I think ArchAndroid, artistically would have benefited from release as two separate EPs. But, to the extent that people even buy albums at all, they sell a lot better than EPs, especially for a somewhat unestablished artist. So, to gain listeners, the best thing was a two-volume CD release. But even…

@Bouzi: Go Habs Go!: I was going to chime in and suggest Janelle Monae as well. There's a great interview over at i09 (link below), focusing on her sci-fi influences and how she incorporates them into her amazing music. While Lady Gaga (who I don't really mind) makes a lot of noise about being weird, her music and…

@avenger339: Windwaker is the beautiful black sheep of the Zelda franchise, fist-handled blowout comb proudly stuck in its wooly pelt.

@redspidey: That's what I get for viewing the site in a small corner of my screen while ostensibly 'working', and then trying to comment on my impressions. It's settled then: less working!

Why is Luke wearing Han's clothes?!

There was a Catch-22 inherent in the structure of 1 vs. 100 that seems to have held it back from greater popularity. Like Jeopardy!, a great part of the appeal of 1 vs. 100 lay in the overall difficulty. The questions might start off easy, but relatively few participants answered all of the questions correctly. But 1…
