Source Code is a fantastic follow up. It’s smart, fun and totally exciting in a way that isn’t pandering or stupid. One of the finest sci-fi thrillers out there, and it got only a passing recognition from john q. public.

How dare a company insist on making games that continue to be critically and commercially successful.

So.. it’s important for everything. Because last we looked, society is what we live in, and that requires money. To say “money isn’t important” means you don’t have to worry about where rent, food or clothes are coming from - and that’s a hell of a place to be in this economy.

“Greatest rewards...”

Please be a plot, please be a plot.

How is Farrell not detached from the world? It’s even stated outright that he’s drinking to numb himself - exactly as McCougnahey did. One lost a child, the other gained one who isn’t his. The other decided to interpret meaninglessness into everything, the other found that everything happens for a reason. They’re two…

Exactly. Season 1 was all Southern Gothic and Lovecraft, and because that kind of material is “in” right now, everyone went nuts over it - completely ignoring that it was still cliched and archetypal to the core. But now that the sources are in Chinatown, and old west coast noir it’s suddenly like Pizzaletto came to…

So while we’re talking vague generalizations, how was McConaughey any different? He was a surly, alcoholic washout with a dead daughter and estranged family and had daddy issues. If you’re going to hate on season two for being cliched, at least be consistent and hate season one for the same thing as well. This series…

Spec Ops isn’t ambigious at all. It isn’t even particularly well written.

Reddit still has a better reputation than Gawker does, so there’s that.

There’s a difference between “developer approved” and material gained from trespassing illegally into private offices and lying, and stealing material for cheap gossip. If we really have to explain that to you Kotaku has bigger problems than just clickbait.

Because it’s tantamount to corporate espionage.

Ssssshhhhhhh! Didn’t you hear? That’s apparently racist now, and we’re not allowed to say it.

Batgirl: Paralyzed, doesn’t let that define her and becomes The Oracle, one of Batman’s greatest allies.

Batgirl fans: insist on never letting her past go and continue defining her through that for decades.

Yes - when he gets affected by the fear gas.

Seeing as Wheaton isn’t really big on actually learning the rules for these games, I don’t think Tabletop is the best example to show when introducing people to them.

Saying that they should finish the book/game/movie they’re watching before being offended is not bias, it’s just logical, adult behavior that seems to go over the heads of so many people. Which is why I used “Sarkeesianed” because she’s shown the same attitude towards films recently (like her attacking Mad Max by…

Uh, except they have done that to Batman, many times over. See: Knightfall, Batman: Black and White (where in one of the more famous short stories Batman is killed by a random civilian with no fanfare) or any of the multiple storylines where Batman is beaten within an inch of his life, mutilated or crippled.

No, it’s telling only that Batman views her as the first - easiest - target. Because the fear gas brings out the worst fears and sides of people, it also amplifies Batman’s persona of believing that he can be in control of everything. It’s a telling plot point about HIM, and how he views Barbara, not about her…

Knowing the facts and having actually seen/read the material is now “hindsight bias”? That’s so ridiculous that it’s almost like becoming a parody of itself.

“Oh man, this movie is dumb, like, halfway the characters are arrested, that’s stupid, they’re supposed to save the world!”
“Well, there’s still half the movie, it…

You... didn’t read anything I just wrote. It’s not about Barbara’s fears or capabilities, it’s about Batman’s fears and shortcomings that the gas brings out. How are you people not understanding this? It’s character exploration, and Batman isn’t a flawless person. It doesn’t remove anything from Barbara/Oracle, and…
