It’s a problem when your main character is the villain of his own sequel.

End of the movie. The government is trying to find out who he is and what he wants, rightfully suspicious of this alien about whom they know nothing and who is in part responsible for a massive catastrophe. His response is to destroy their equipment and tell them never to try looking for him again - he does what he…

Because they’re attempting very similar things in different ways, and it’s worth examining the effects of those different approaches. This is what analysis is for - to compare things and consider what you find. If you aren’t interested in analysis or comparative discussion, that’s fine - but for the rest of us, the…

One can also argue, which I do as a MoS detractor, that there is no way the world will ever get behind a Superman whose arrival was part of an alien invasion that resulted in thousands of deaths and trillions in global economic damage. Opening with a movie where Superman has to learn how to be Superman is an excellent…

Funny, I always associate this movie with Them Bones by Alice in Chains because it’s playing in Ken’s car during a driving scene/flashback. I think this was the movie that introduced me to Alice in Chains, actually.

I wish I owned a super-cut of just the Raul Julia scenes. I would watch it weekly. On Tuesday.

I’mma saaay... nobody? Nobody. How about that. If we have nobody draw it, nobody will have to read it. We all win.

But... it doesn’t do that. It makes fatalities easier, which only happen after you’ve already won a match. Buying easy fatalities in no way makes fighting easier and gives nobody an advantage over anybody else, it just makes it more likely you’ll see something cool if/when you lose.

Does Mass Effect DLC EVER go on sale? I've got a PC rig capable of really rocking this game, and I'd love to dig into the Mod community, but even a great sale on the trilogy like this leaves me looking at almost $100 in DLC purchases I already made on XB360. Hard enough to think of losing all the bonuses from my…

Stick it out, man! Hang in there like a kitten on a clothesline. I haven’t gotten the game yet, but immediately knew/know I would be signing Special Forces. The few and the proud, apparently. Sonya, Jax, Cage, Stryker, all the new characters that look coolest to me - if they had Smoke, it would be all of my favorite…

Getting Hasselhoff for the Kung Fury soundtrack was Kickstarter money well spent. Thank you heroes.

On the one hand, I totally agree with you. I found the Krypt in MK 2011 tedious, wandering the field and watching the same handful of animations over and over again. I wish they’d either make it more fun/interactive, or just unlock stuff without making me go through all that rigamarole just for some concept art.

I can recommend tons of stuff. I do whole seminars at comic cons on “What to Read.” What kind of stuff are you into? Just looking at your list of names, I’ll say:

What decisions? I played W2 and barely felt like I decided much of anything. Help the elf bandit guy or kill him, okay... but that was a pretty bland decision that didn’t have much nuance to it—there was no reason given to side with him, really, other than just not knowing much about why they were doing what they were…

I’m with you, too. The combat in W2 was clunky with random insane difficulty spikes, and the story was unusually ho-hum for a game where so many laud it for its storytelling. The whole thing felt kind of beautiful-bland; a whole lot of wonderful work into making a muddled tapestry of gray.

There was a sense of reality to the series. It dealt with the legal ramifications of superheroing in a way I’d never read before. It had a constant tension, a feeling like no matter how ahead of his problems Murdock got, at any given moment the whole thing could come crashing down. Such a great time.

The Echo intro arc was illustrated by David Mack, the artist known for painterly work and heavy collage awesomeness. His series Kabuki is way worth looking for if you enjoyed him on Daredevil.

That stinking pile wasn’t a good anybody story.

This is, for my money, the single greatest run on Daredevil of all time. Frank Miller will always hold the most important spot in terms of building the character from a second-rate Spider-Man clone into an interesting character of his own, in his own setting with his own cast and style. But it was Bendis who wrote the…

It’s really worth setting the time aside. Scour his whole video history - it’s some of the best in-depth analyses I’ve ever found on games.
