Decided to stop by my local Best Buy a little after they opened at 10am this morning just to see. I was completely shocked when I walked in and the guy at the door asked if I was there for the SNES Classic, and if so, to take this ticket and get in line to purchase. Whoa! I was #60 and it seems like they had about…

That was always going to happen. The question is whether people will actually need to buy from scalpers, and right now the answer appears to be no.

Just lovely! Another way that information age has passed me by!

Old news. I saw Ludacris do this on Fast and Furious 6, just last night. He just had to press a button.

Honestly, this is pretty good news. JJ loves the franchise, has worked with Disney, and put out a good film already.

One requires work and know-how. The other is cute and ready to use out of the box (which is itself a cute throwback to original packaging). And official. Not that hard to explain.

And they can say it’s “prime” all they want, we KNOW it’s not, because CBS and Paramount own different rights (very complicated) for producing movies compared to TV shows.

I feel like such a weirdo. No matter how many discussions I read on io9 about it, I still can’t manage to work myself up to giving a rat’s ass about what is, or is not, “canon”. For any show. Like, not even a little bit. If anything, I see the focus on hermetic “universes” as a transparent marketing ploy to…

Actually DS9, Voyager and Enterprise were watched by the same amount of people. And as for continuity, Star Trek has always approached Continuity from series to series while ignoring chronological continuity. There were plenty of things that happened in Enterprise, for instance, that violated or one-upped the…

This, exactly. Just make Trek that’s good. Questions like “what happened to the Breen after the Dominion War” are best left to novels and fan forums.

That is because CBS(who owns Star Trek TV) and Paramount(who owns Star Trek Film) want NOTHING to do with each other.

Your friendly neighborhood WOTC spy here. You can re-submit your information with your DCI number. It will update your submission.

As someone who has in the past spent way too much fucking money on MTGO, this excites me. I hope it won’t cost an arm and leg to play. I had to quit playing MTG because it costs way too damn much.

They’re focusing on new sets, so you’ll presumably be able to play standard on it.

Oh I’m sure there’s a WotC spy in here somewhere.

You just activated my trap card!

Ryans gotta eat, do what you have to in blog-life.

That thunder you’re hearing isn’t Hurricane Irma, it’s all the heads exploding on the far right.

as with pretty much anywhere, I bet there’s that one asshole colleague that always tries to take credit for everything and some middle management guy who knows absolutely nothing about the job that’s constantly butting in and going “Do you really need to use an electron microscope to analyse these samples? That’s kind…

Only until that dusty old scroll reveals that the Holy Grail is actually Mary Magdalene and the Vatican sends its elite snipers after you.
