I don't blame you on the press end. I've probably already learned too much about XCOM already - though the Dev team has made it explicit that they've reserved a number of key, integral pieces of the game from the public to forestall that. As for the multiplayer aspects, I merely mention their existence - mainly…

There actually is multiplayer - and I'm assuming that it isn't cross-platform, so you might need to work that into your consideration. Take a look at some of the PAX multiplayer if you care to. It'll illustrate things better. You might also consider that with Steam pre-order, you'll most likely be getting a free copy…

So is Beat Takeshi gonna chuck a knife into some chatty digital character's head? Kids these days.

Shazam! Rufus Thomas burn!

Speaking of Joss and grand storytelling...

Yeah - that's definitely Warlock Tier 10 in there. Straight up WoW lift.

He just wants to ride his motorcycle!

Tyler Perry's Attack The Block 2: Handlin' Yo' Man When an Alien Tries To Steal Him Boogaloo.

So many beautiful ones to choose from, This Island Earth, Manos, Pod People...

Any residual reminders of Twin Peaks are good residual reminders of Twin Peaks.

"...Tatopoulos added that the studio didn't want this version to go "full blown" scifi...being "grounded" was exceptionally important to the filmmakers here."

You know if y'all are ready to pay er up right now I can prob'ly throw in a couple of unused uranium fuel rods for that nucular reactor, but y'all gonna have to round up some new lazer-beam enhanced sharks; they died in the tank.

..."script by Travis Beacham ("Clash of the Titans")"...

Well put Lizardo - a 007 venture is unlike anything Mendes has ever done previously, I'm interested in what he brings to the table.

Believe it or not, he's walking on air!

Isn't this more Herman Cain's wheelhouse?

God damned hippies.

Somebody with some balls finally came through at FOX, and gave a good show a proper run to wrap things up. It's almost beyond belief.

I really have a hard time accepting any attempts to legitimize this film. I mean c'mon, when it comes down to it, some asshole is gonna yell "B-13!", and some alien is gonna growl furiously with the subtitles of "The human worm has sunk my amphibious spacecraft!".

Everything's a vaccuum!
