I hope Snyder’s impact on these movies goes away once his cut is released. It’s going to be awful, obviously, but I’d rather it just be boring than anything spectacularly bad. The lead-up to it has been horrible. Frankly, DC/WB should salt the earth on their movie properties—maybe keep WW, Shazam, and Aquaman—and…

THANK YOU. I’ve been saying this for years. His style is so aggressively adolescent and his themes are so boorishly immature that watching his films is like listening to a grade school playground at recess. A howling cacophony of anger, posturing, threats and lies. Nothing he produces any real substance to it because…

Judgmental for sure, because the art in Double XP is normally at a noticeably low quality. This is better than usual, I hope it trends up and they have better art all the time.

ah, this is my bad. mea culpa.

According to an Amazon cybersecurity engineer who spoke anonymously. . .

Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni saved Star Wars.

“...and I’m the only one who knows/that Disneyland’s about to close...”

As an older gamer, it is a little sad that you couldn’t spare a sentence to the fact that the Origin trademark in gaming predates this digital storefront. EA purchased Origin Systems, developers of Ultima in 1992. They went on to create one of the early MMORPGs in Ultima Online that pioneered a lot of the online…

Before anyone starts whining that “He was just cheating on his wife, sure that’s bad, but why is he being fired for that?!”, a couple of points:

it can be exceedingly easy to forget that up until very recently, queer characters more or less didn’t exist in the animation space outside of being the butt of jokes.

This is why I’m so reluctant to discuss politics or morals with people. Yeah Ubisoft may have appropriated questionable source material but the message is obvious. On its face, to me, the quote is about standing in solidarity with other groups because we all have something in common. It’s also about not letting an…

Kotaku: Ubisoft games are obviously intrinsically political, why do they hide from it?!?

The thing about Cyborg is there are way to many heavy hitters around him in the Justice League.  

The first thing I thought when I saw the news was surprise that anyone but me remembered that movie. Sometimes it feels like Barret Oliver was in all the scifi of my childhood.

That’s salient. I think I read the line about being blacklisted for not “doing the right thing” and interpreted “the right thing” as refusing a sexual encounter, which kinda disrupts the narrative of what he was saying. If you read it as choosing to have sex, then it becomes much clearer that he essentially said, “A…

Right, it’s the same reason that a teacher is in trouble for having sex with a student, even if the student is not in a class of the teacher and all other consent conditions are still met.

I don’t think it would need to end with Kylo dying. You could end it with him being beaten, and having it rubbed in his face that the desperate drive to reclaim this “glorious past” only made him weaker and more pathetic, left broken and barely anything at all.

Detroit is an awesome game.

Surprised Mafia 3 wasn’t on the list, nothing more fun then killing the shit out of the klan(oh i’m sorry the Southern Union) and white moderates.

Best villain? I see this man nowhere in that shot.

James is wrong. Thank you for coming to my TEA-Talk.
