CEO! Not "Director of P.R." or "partner," but CEO. Sheesh. Does Leto know anything about running a business? I'm not as down on his work as some, but he doesn't really strike me as the type.

I could certainly see that. I never thought Walker was the most amazing actor, but he had these moments of transparency that I pretty much assumed happened because he wasn't really acting so much as acting like himself. I actually liked The Skulls more than some (apparently), and I thought he was just about perfect…

Believe it or not, I did!

Honestly, it looks terrible. Really, really bad. One of the things that makes all the skin stand out is it's one of the things that the graphics engine actually seems to spit out effectively. (Faces, not so much. Vehicles, even: not so much.) I'm actually bummed I bought it, and $5 seemed like a highly disposable…

Walker's dumbass grin as he said "I almost had you!" really sets that scene for me. He's still acting like this is a big lark.

I blame Tolkien. Seriously, weren't his mega-elephants called Oliphaunts or something?

I scrolled down here specifically to yell at the internet that anyone who would read this column but hadn't seen Brotherhood of the Wolf yet desperately needs to go watch it in the near future. It's a gloriously lunatic concoction, far more insane (and entertaining) than any written summary can convey. Plus, I think…

I don't know why but I've really started using those lately. Last week I managed to use <walktheline>"I felt tough, you know? Like I'd seen a thing or two, you know?"</walktheline> and that night I rewarded myself by looking at the mirror without a shirt on for awhile*.

Thank you kindly! It sounds pretty awesome, actually.

Heh, those games were exactly the sort of thing that in theory I should enjoy, but I'd never actually enjoy playing them for various reasons (such as the ones you mention.) If you just want to be a little kid putting buildings on the screen, sure, knock yourself out—but if you wanted to get everything just right,…

My brother sent me one of those for my birthday a few weeks ago! I dearly love it, although now I need to dust off my DVSs of ROMS and see what I have lying around that needs to go on there yet. Kind of fun to play old proper arcade games on a flatscreen TV in your living room. (Seriously, the games that have the…

Nothing like moving right into married life, I suppose. Congratulations!

There is no shame in being This Guy, no matter what they say: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Did they move DoW3 back towards the first one, then? I've had a hard time getting where they took the gameplay, since DoW1 and 2 could look pretty similar from videos but worked very differently from one another.

I love that soundtrack *thiiiiiiis* much. I never finished Bastion, but I think I last listened to that soundtrack like a week ago. I call it Firefly music, and wish there was more sci-fi western out there when I hear it.

I'm in the minority here, but I hated B:I. I mean, hated it, way beyond "disliking a game" and into the realm of retroactively rejecting the entire series outright. (And I luvved me some Bioshock, back in the day!) My reaction was strong enough that certain marketing types would be pleased by it no matter what, and…

Mad Max, still. It's a ton of fun but I am starting to figure out why it gets called a "generic open-world sandbox" so often: they didn't really give you enough different approaches to the tasks they set out there. Crash cars, beat people up, get stuff, wash, rinse, repeat.

The line he left of from his eulogy after some consideration was, "I've been trying to do this to people for years, and I'm mad as hell that one of you imbeciles figured it out before I did."

What's weird to me is that as much as I like this show (and as important as romantic love is to the show,) it does not really nail romantic chemistry for some reason. Gregg and Wen are veteran actors; you'd think they could do something more invested and less shruggingly-apathetic than what they're doing. And de…

I'm probably alone in this, but I'd love to see Altered Beast or Golden Axe put into some different genres. The side-scrolling beat-em-up ain't the hottest thing since sliced bread these days and Age of Mythology (to pick one example) did some fun things with Greek mythology. I'd love to see scaled RTS or like an…
