I finally sat down to play Brütal Legend and am enjoying the everloving sheet out of it. It's a really fun little game, with enjoyable action gameplay. The car's a little squirrely, but they usually are. The performances are wonderful, particularly Jack Black who is unceasingly lovable as Eddie Riggs, and the…

Welll... replace it or something, I dunno. Surely it isn't necessary for the move. I just find it as ridiculous looking as her other distractingly impractical orbs. XD

If you wanted to make Mai a more functional fighting costume, step one would be to get rid of that giant red ball weighing her down from behind. I'm certainly down for the idea behind these, but in practice most of them lack personality and the focus on restricting the feminine aspects of the figures but not actually…

God bless you; the A-Wing is a nearly perfect starfighter design. It hardly gets better.

I would love - Love - to have a Lego X-Wing, BSG Viper, and ME Alliance Fighter side-by-side on my shelf.

Totally different context, totally different situation. Female MMA fighters know that they'll only be facing punches (not chain-kunai and demons and the like), won't be fighting people who are trying to kill them, and aren't out in the streets tracking down deadly killers like Kano. And even still, I wouldn't compare…

I got really good with Smoke and Stryker specifically because of enjoying their characters so much in story mode. I've never gotten good at a MK game, but MK9's story made me really want to.

...And Jax also has gigantic robot arms with heavily-implied cybernetics under the pecs/shoulders that put him in a different class in terms of needing upper body protection. Being half-cyborg makes him superhuman, redefining the rules of what "practicality" requires. Even still, his alt wears full body-armor, while…

It makes sense for Johnny Cage to dress ridiculously, because that's who he is. It makes sense, to some extent, for the Outworld characters to dress differently from our societal expectations, and they all more or less match each other (again, to some extent). It does not make sense within the logic of the world…

I'm just gonna leave this here. #OneTruePokemon

Because an issue labeled "#1" is ordered more heavily by retailers than one labeled "One-Shot." It's just another cynical ploy used by publishers to bump up pre-orders in an industry that is almost entirely driven by pre-order sales.

It has nothing to do with breast size, but with presentation. I'm frequently frustrated by how people seem to think Lara Croft's bust measurements are somehow directly linked to how seriously she can be taken. But the presentation, here, says a lot. By covering Cassie up, giving her some spec forces gear, and a…

Oh, man... it so much is, though. Admittedly a little less so in the very early games, but this is how the women looked in MK9:

Oh, this old cannard? I'll try and explain for you. Suspension of disbelief is a tenuous thing, and to achieve it a creator has to walk a fine line. Ask too much of your audience with too many preposterous things in your story and the audience balks - it's all too ridiculous, and they either walk away or can't take…

This trailer is extremely exciting for me. Not only does the story look interesting (MK9's story mode got me back into MK for the first time since middle school) but holy hell! It's main characters are a couple women who are fully clothed and appear to have chosen their gear and style based on functionality and being…

If I could own a smash-cut of JUST the Bison stuff from that SF movie, it would be the best film ever made. I wish it were possible to see the movie Raul Julia thought he was making.

...Which is why people typically don't go to court. But you implied there was no legal recourse if the product you invested in never materializes, and that isn't true.

You're looking primarily at large-scale investments where people with boatloads of cash invest tremendous amounts of money to get a business off the ground (usually so that business can sell out to another business and all the investors can get rich[er] on the sale) but there are a lot of kinds of investing that…

Investors do not always own stakes in a company they support. That would have to be part of the initial agreement signed by both parties, and in this case it isn't; the only thing you're promised as a return is what you get at your "backer level."

Oh my god, I never thought of that but the consequences could be enormous. It's easy to imagine a house getting cased, they see somebody holding a very realistic looking firearm, and just go in shooting. The SWAT teams are hardly known for their restraint to begin with, but this is just... That would be horrible.
