not really, because gaming consoles are an established part of the ecosystem. Cloud platforms are still striving for legitimacy.

Yeah. They’ll just keep poking around the idea until the public backlash isn’t so strong and then push it through. The inevitability of capitalism.

eee! Yeah, I didn’t realize that. Thanks for the heads up.

That is a little weird. I wonder what the context of that is. I suppose if they aren’t making an attempt at a shared universe, they could always shelve the script and then revive it down the line? Definitely weird tho.

The reasoning seems weird, and there’s definitely a chance it’s just plain old racism. But adding a…

I’m not sure Legion is really a good example of that. It’s ostensibly an X-Men TV show, but it really just takes an obscure character and runs with it, doesn’t it? Maybe things change a bit in the later seasons, but the first season stubbornly refused to have much to do with the source material, nor did it really…

I can definitely see why WB would decide to cut out a scene that apparently lasts a few seconds and introduces a brand new character for a franchise they’re making a TV show about. I mean, the description literally makes it sound like the sort of stinger that’s intended to tease future movies.

And as far as New Gods…

yaha. my partner was a music journalist for a while, and she got to know some of his early bandmates pretty decently. Brian basically hijacked someone’s student project and made that his identity. If he weren’t an abuser, his insecurity combined with his belief that he’s still relevant as an artist with something to…

counterpoint: He seems to hate being called Brian Warner, so let’s all call him that exclusively.

Lived there 30+ years, can attest. and I don’t think a lot of people realize how segregated it still is down there too. or how functionally broken any public service is. The Republicans have done a pretty exceptional job of basically sabotaging civil and social services wherever they can.

That sounds frustrating as hell, but you could probably do something interesting with that uncertainty of the reload. Maybe you have a chance of waking up with your character in a different dream or different memory, or there’s a risk of reality changing in some fundamental ways while you’re away? I’m not sure.…

I think shows like Legion demonstrate there could be an audience for a Mage series.

I think that’s right on the money, and it’s a halfway clever conceit.

I clicked on the thumbnail immediately so excited to see Venture Bros. news, or at least something with Brock.

I’m always curious about who any of these World of Darkness multimedia products are for. And I say that as someone for whom the tabletop game was a formative experience. I was down with that goofy quasi-activist edgelord silliness from the fairy werecats all the way up to the corpse-fucking vampire mobsters — but it’s…

If you’re talking about the full-on reboot, nope. They rebranded those books as the “Chronicles of Darkness” when Paradox yanked classic WoD back from the trash. To my understanding, their publisher (Onyx Path) is basically free to do their own thing with it, but it won’t be getting attention from Paradox. It’s a…

Sega does what Nintendon’t (yet)!

“gloriously entertaining puns” is the whitest phrase ever spoken.

okay but what the hell is wrong with Charlize Theron’s hair?

I think they think it’s funny that anyone who’s had a cock in their mouth could be in a position of leadership. But that interpretation isn’t any funnier than yours.

The model Humble Bundle launched with was that you paid what you want and got to choose where your money was going. That was the gimmick. That’s what I think of when I think Humble Bundle, and I think that’s the same for most people familiar with it.

That level of control hasn’t really extended to anything outside of…
