Not to me. Krakauer is not a historian and has no historical training and it shows in Under the Banner of Heaven. It is very engaging, very titillating, but also very muddled and often simply wrong about a great deal of its history. If you’re looking for a truer look at the polygamous groups in Utah and Arizona, along…

I don’t think most people actually know the Infinity Gauntlet events happened.

Sub-Zero turning his enemy’s blood into knives and then stabbing the guy with his own frozen blood was one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a fighting movie. I liked this movie. I think it shows the potential for the series and hope the next one just knocks it out of the park.

That doesn’t really address anything. It just restates the basic origin for those who had never played a Halo game but might start with Halo 4. It doesn’t deal with the fact that the gameplay you essentially glorifies Fascism because you play the main character, a sociopathic soldier brainwashed since childhood into…

Hey, do you think they’ll deal with the inherent Fascism of the Halo universe - namely that the Spartans are children kidnapped by the government and turned into super-soldiers to be used against rebellious colonies in order to enforce the absolute militaristic rule of the centralized human government - or nah?

A giant dwarf though.

A person’s desire and what they deserve are two different things. Humans have innate value that makes the worth saving. If you don’t believe that then you’re no better than the people you say are evil as what distinguishes their evil is that they believe some people are more valuable than others.

It wouldn’t be much of an issue if weapons could be repaired in the game a la Fallout.

And I won’t be seeing a single minute of it. 

That sounds like a helluva partnership.

You’re giving me flashbacks to the Denny’s Hobbit meals.

How boring.

He just sounds like a man who is deeply broken on a fundamental level. I hope he really is getting the treatment they talk about in the article.

>While Whedon’s superhero epics were leavened by irony and wordplay, Snyder’s were brooding and self-important, with a visual style that combined the artificiality of a video game with the fascist aesthetic of a Leni Riefenstahl production.

Yeah, anyone who thinks Pine is the best Chris is not a source whose rationality and logic can be trusted.

You’ve never actually read any Ayn Rand, have you? Because I have and even though I disagree with Objectivism I can clearly see that what you’re talking about is not reflected in her works. At all. In fact it is usually the exact opposite. It is the State who is the detached god, mouthing words about protecting the…

The main story line? Absolutely. The Mojave is boring, ugly, and bland. It is almost no fun to explore. And the story itself actively hates you if you do anything other than side with the NCR and punishes you if you try and take over. Contrasted to the DLC, which were fantastic, the main game is pretty mediocre.
