Protomiller’s affectations are awesome. He’s visibly 99% Miller then there’s the 1% weirdness that reminds you this ain’t Miller.

Well life wouldn’t normally evolve on a 5km sized sphere but this is a civilization that could slow down every single physical object within a massive sphere of space so it would not be too far fetched to think they could maintain an atmosphere on such a small sphere along with an active biosphere on the ground. But…

The showrunners were not certain if they were getting a fourth season at that point so they decided not to stick us with a cliffhanger that might never be resolved so they had to condense an entire book into the back half of this season instead of doing the normal cliffhanger and then wrapping book three up halfway…

It’s because The Magicians used magic to beguile the FCC censors into thinking they weren’t dropping fucks here and there.

I’ve assumed that entity was a representation of what spawns protomolecule Miller as in its the passenger from the original protomolecule in our solar system that wants answers from what it knows used to a massive network spanning over a thousand worlds and to get those answers it needs to get back to its systems…

The protomolecule is an ancient road building system that allowed what seems like an incredibly long lived civilization to flourish on over a 1,000 worlds. The device at the center of the ring is a sentient security system that is trying to get answers as to why when it went to check in at home base where its creators…

TV Ashford was a fully realized character done with not much screen time in only half the season. Book Ashford is a 2-d evil, despotic captain of a ship and the mutiny, while thrilling, went on too long in the book. His conversation with Drummer as they both wondered if they’d live another day pinned under massive…

It’s my favorite Thor movie and one of my overall favorite Marvel movies. So many great things about it, the Grandmaster Jeff “I’m playing an alien here because one day society we see how ironic it is because I really am an alien” Goldblum, a totally sloshed Valkyrie and her hilarious introduction—and because I avoid…

It’s mind boggling to think we’ve gone years between movies to an upcoming schedule that will be putting out three movies a year.

Everything in a movie is plotted so nothing in it is random. I haven’t heard of anything equivalent in a large studio movie to Curb Your Enthusiasm’s freeform randomizing scripts that are essentially outlines and the cast ad lib their lines. The word seemingly before random might have made things more clear for you.

Praise Xenu we were spared a Tom Cruise Iron Man!

It’s amazing to think those teeny spiders have lived millions of years and not one single species was able to dislodge them from their absurdly small world of one small cave.

It’s a Saturday article.

Actually you’re in a mental hospital being pumped full of thorazine but you’ll be happy to know that Jeff Goldblum came out as an extra-terrestial about half a year ago.

Elevate it like The King’s Speech except it’s a heart wrenching tale of Charles Xavier accepting his fate—that an alien named Satan crushed his legs with a giant rock then later on after being restored from being the Brood Queen and his life put into a cloned body he slowly learns to walk again—with dignity.

Having decent queer content wouldn’t be a reason for me to buy a game but it could be a reason to buy it brand new instead of waiting a few months for the price to drop. Having an awesome queer story in a game genre I like would probably make me buy the game brand new if Kotaku said it was fun to play too but if they…

So we can’t write about the problems of queer life without diverting into a paragraph or two about how every community has struggles in it so people like you can then find some other thing to nitpick about? And if we don’t do that we’re being manipulative?

Nobody is asking for unhindered joy or untainted happiness, nobody is asking for a standard that ridiculous. Grand Theft Auto V has a happy ending option and a dark ending option and it is littered with corpses, vulgarity and ceaseless death and murder.

“Don’t make me remember the world sucks. Go fight your fights elsewhere because this is my haven!!!!! You’re not even fighting your fights correctly, sheesh. I want the impossible and unreasonable to happen and I am used to having that whim catered!”

While I agree people who are employed professionally in video gaming—journalists, competitive gamers, employees at a video game companies—are more progressive than most communities, gamers as a whole covers the broader spectrum of society and all the nastiness that includes. I don’t do any online gaming these days but…
