All hardware, in general, is up 200%. This is likely accounted for by the release of new systems, but it helps make the point that no one is really doing poorly right now.

I only have one bookshelf for all those Infinity characters...

I actually really liked Spore. It kinda sucked in a few parts, but I had a lot of fun with it. It had a childlike sense of wonder and exploration about it in a way that didn't make me scared to run about the places for fear of dying and loosing all my progress.

They don't really need to "save" the Xbox One. It may be selling the least of the next gen systems, but hardware sales are up by 200% from this time last year. The system is still incredibly viable. The market is pretty close to being mostly an even split, with Sony take the lion's share, but this would never be a…

I took a class on what was supposed to be Beckett in college and the professor wanted to "start us off" with Ulysses. It ended up taking the entire semester (a chapter a week, more or less), and it was to this day one of the most brutal experiences of my life. For each chapter we had two companion guides (with…

Script shmipt. Start filming the thing and let the script get done later. Worked out for Men in Black III.

1) That's a tough question and it depends on how you play. Infinity is like a collection of games from other devs. You have the Cars game, the Lone Ranger Game, Monsters Inc., Pirates of the Caribbean, The Incredibles, and the Toy Story Game. Each game is about 8 hours long if you complete everything, some a little…

You can preorder the premium version at GameStop for $79.99

I wonder if this is going to be an assassin/templar romance between two killers.

This is really much more based on the fact that marketing departments hire people who know nothing about gaming, but a lot about marketing. Those people only need the okay of higher ups who got where they are because they're good at selling things in general, and often know little about video games.

It's not in 4:3

I dunno. I remember PS1 games looking like this:

Pretty much everyone bad ended up in Call of Duty a few years back. I think it's why they spent so much money perfecting "mute all" technology.

The lady and I were thinking about getting that for our two TV set up.

I don't have too much of a problem with these buttons, but the thing that I despise about the system is that pressing "B" in any menu usually drops you back to the main menu. Why on earth does it do this? If I'm in an app, the only way to get out of it should be by pressing the center button.

Fair enough on the largest claim. I was thinking more in terms of buzz and budget, which it is near the top of the list for both in 2014. I consider A-list to mean that people recognize you by sight, while household names are just higher on the A-list as superstars. Gary Oldman is a great example. Most people I know…

I don't really think he's B-List. He's in one of the largest TV shows of all time, and he has a pretty big film career. He's the villain in the newest X-Men movie, to boot.

So it looks like I'm a mix of a snob and a noob. A snoob.

I really loved the first Transformers movie. It was a bit hokey, and a bit dumb, but I found it to be supremely enjoyable. But I don't ever bother defending it, because people just love to hate things too much. I was friends with a few people back in college who all swore up and down that The Dark Knight was the worst…

I would not be surprised if either Microsoft or EA bought Crytek and gutted the team just to get the rights to RYSE and Crysis. Cut the f2p games, then get back to the core. I wouldn't consider either of the games great franchises, but they're well known at least, and that's enough to turn a great game into a…
