If you have a WiiU, Tokyo Mirage Sessions is pretty good as a Persona-lite experience.

Akechi should've been a gay romance option. Some of the exchanges between him and the main character are just loaded with sexual tension. You can even do a "Honey, I'm home" gag! Just do it, Persona!

I feel like Haru gets about as much development as the other characters, but the game makes it hard to develop her social bond. I didn't even realize that the school rooftop was available throughout the seventh palace until almost the end of the game!

This would say more about our media habits if MSNBC wasn't busy hiring as many Fox News employees as it can.

Whew, that's a negative review. I don't necessarily disagree with a lot of what you're saying—and I'd go further and say that the flood of multi-phase boss fights at the end of Palace 7 were a slog to trudge through—but by the end I thought it was kind of a bracing slam on Japanese society.

At some point, you have to wave away things as "it's sci-fi." As long as it's internally consistent, my disbelief is happily suspended.

Yeah, I got the impression that's not widely known even among individuals with more insight into things. The way David talks, he assumes that Walter doesn't know that he and Weyland were together when Weyland died.

Actually, the simplest explanation would be that an Engineer ship returns to the planet where David was abandoned for so long and discovers the eggs. The plot of Alien then plays out on the Engineer ship, but with no survivors, leading to Alien.

It's mentioned at one point that the Prometheus is "the ship that vanished." So we don't know what anyone at the Company might know, but we do know that its disappearance was noted and that even high-ranking space travelers don't know much more than that.

The plot hole is (and these are huge, huge spoilers) that David created the xenomorphs. The original black goo is a highly mutagenic virus that the Engineers created that either rapidly kills those who are affected or creates a vicious hybrid monster to expedite the killing process. Hence why you have both the…

No, and in fact it introduces a massive plot hole that actually pushes the narrative further away from the setup from the original film.

I'll put baby xenomorph up against Baby Groot any day of the week.

But "big sci-fi movie" versus "big sci-fi movie" doesn't really work like that. I personally don't think they're really offering the same thing, but I've already seen people comparing the two films just because they both fall under the same, extremely wide genre umbrella.

Studios are going to have to start scheduling around Marvel releases if they don't want to get stomped. I saw Covenant in a fairly full theater and the audience seems pretty into it, so I don't think it's that there is no interest in it, but I've seen how much people pay for concessions and tickets for the whole…

What about lungfish lungs? I mean, I don't see how "fish lungs" doesn't rank higher on exotic fish dishes.

I thought that scene looked great! I loved the way it wrapped its tail around the ladder as it descended.

A rejected manuscript from when Crichton was making decent books and not shit like Timeline and Prey.

I watch it!

Holy shit, they renewed it!

Yeah, I'm surprised I'm enjoying it so much. I liked DoW2's campaigns a lot and didn't give two shits about the multiplayer, but DoW3 has reversed that sentiment (although I'm hoping that Relic does more with the campaign in an expansion; they're usually pretty willing to try new things, often to good effect).
