I thought Battling Boy had some impressively rendered sequences but otherwise took 208 pages to tell a story that would have been more effective in 10.

I'm at maybe 50% completion and am having a good time with it, but when broken down it's just exceedingly competent hunt/gather/bludgeon video game horseshit that doesn't do anything new. Comfort gaming.

"Probably just an inflatable dummy with Kiefer Sutherland's voice. Return to patrol."

I seem to recall Kaz indicating over comms that the Camp Omega soldiers weren't 'real' marines and that the actual staff of the base was being slowly rotated out and replaced by Cipher mercs, but we tell ourselves all kinds of lies to justify odious behavior.

They have a very strange dynamic - The Twin Dads. Whenever I Fulton someone out I imagine Kaz sitting in front an Apple IIe eating a sandwich and shaking his head in disapproval. "You're gonna extract HIM?"

I quit GTA4 after the 17th 'drive a barely responsive junker car to the residence of someone you have no issue with in the hood and murder them' mission. I thought Liberty City looked great, but it was just like all the times I've been to Manhattan - out of reach and noninteractive.

A lot of episodes end either very abruptly or after an extended awkward silence between characters. I just assume it's a stylistic thing to make the show more dream-like.

While I found this to be too much of a weird experiment to effectively judge it as a movie it really did point out just how mushmouthed and stupid Frank Miller's dialogue is when spoken aloud verbatim, even if it reads as bad ass hard boiled tough guy talk on the page.

Morrison's Batman run had very few 'new' ideas, mostly because it was trying to twist a coherent narrative for a man in his thirties with 70 or so years of history.

In the two large images at the bottom of the article?

All-Star Batman and Robin is a ridiculously entertaining comic but also tonally all over the map, because while Batman is depicted as a lunatic with a violence fetish there are also more subtle moments like that that point to it possibly being an act. There didn't end up being enough issues to ever really answer that…

I love it when Frank Miller describes how Superman fucks. A+++

Well, consider the previous alternative - Sony seems to be basing a disturbingly large part of their business model on releasing 'HD remakes' of games that already looked terrific in 720P a few years ago (i.e. Uncharted.)

I can't believe St Anger is 12 years old. I can still remember wondering what the hell was going on with my Neon's factory sound system as I was driving out of the parking lot of Best Buy, learning all about how James Hetfield's lifestyle…determines his deathstyle.

"I am so covered in salty moisture that I can now clearly empathize and identify with a rapist."

Well, if anything we can look forward to his family being needlessly slaughtered and then he can become the lovable curmudgeon landlord of that Brooklyn apartment building.

"Keep your politics out of my comics! Unless your politics involve The Punisher smugly lecturing a bunch of minority gangbangers about holding their gun the right way before slaughtering them. I like those politics just fine!"

Is there a lot of abusive terrible sex in uncomfortable public places? That's what I mostly associate Showtime's 'comedies' with these days.

"That escalated quickly."

I think my experience with this came down to playing the demo, choosing Imperial, and then repeatedly humping Darth Vader on the bridge of my Star Destroyer.
