Pro Tip: milk crates can be every kind of furniture you’ll ever need.

You are so right. This spot is 100% better for me for all the same reasons. March 3rd is officially “Switch Day” in my family due to my excitement about the system, and hell yeah my time is going to be divided between me playing Zelda and Skyrim on the little screen and intense Splatooning and MKing with my kids on…

You could totally turn that formula into the world’s greatest video game review show.

I’m constantly amazed that the Gamestop employees I usually deal with are actually good people who do a reasonable job of trying to upsell, cross-sell and recommend the warranties and preorders without being too pushy about it. So many times they’ve saved me money, been very helpful about tracking down games at…

I always assumed Black Manta would be the villain in Aquaman, because, duh. When they announced Ocean Master instead I thought great, they’re saving Manta for the sequel, that’s actually pretty cool. Now I know that as usual they have NO master plan, they’re just throwing every cool thing they can find into the movie…

I watched OG GB with my 8-year-old daughter and she didn’t even blink at that scene. I think it was just one more scene in a whole series of scenes that went way over her head. I will say that neither she nor my older daughter were all that impressed with the movie and didn’t understand what made it such a big thing.…

Counter-counterpoint: the songs in Frozen are great, Olaf is awful.

i always assume people know roughly the same about my faves as i know about the characters on Breaking Bad, or about the Green Bay Packers: I know that these are things that exist, that the former is something about drugs and the latter is a football team.

What really hurts me as a Trekkie from birth is that there are SO many bad Star Trek installments. You can’t just lay the blame for the death of Trek on this very bad movie, because it followed one that was even worse, which followed one that was pretty good which followed one that was unbelievably awful and tarnished…

Krampus was actually a fun horror movie with a lot of personality, so I think this is a great pick. Mind you, I like Godzilla 2014 a lot, even with its faults.

True. And I have to take it back, after watching Barrowman sing I have to say dude has some real talent. Martin is still my guy out of all of them, though.

Had to skip most of the article and all of the comments because we just started Season Two, but I have two things to say. One, this show gets better and better. And two, YOU GUYS THERE ARE ACTION FIGURES!!! Saw them at Target the other day. They look decent, not super collectors’ perfect replica editions but not too…

Bah. You forgot the only gorram ‘Verse that matters.

Yeah, not one of these things will happen. I believe VC will be an important factor in the success of the Switch, though, as a lot of people want to play Gamecube games like F-Zero GX, Super Mario Sunshine, Wave Race, Smash Melee and Eternal Darkness. The Gamecube may not have been the huge success the N64 was, but it…

All I need is some Jesse Martin, everybody else can just be having a dance-off or something.

These are even less impressive than the last time io9 advertised a bunch of “stunning” new book covers. And when Dragonriders is reprinted it will be even worse, because then you’ll be trading Michael Whelan’s unbeatable dragon art for more of this designed-by-committee blah.

+3 for agreement and a Mortal Engines reference plus pic. Made my day there.

Fortnight is a pretty common word.

I feel the same way. I’m only about two episodes into the Diamondback arc, but it feels ridiculously weak after the saga of Cottonmouth and Mariah.

Well, I’m selfishly happy I didn’t see him on GoT first, because he blew my mind as Cottonmouth, and I don’t know if it would have played as well if he was “that guy from Game of Thrones”. There’s a whole different feeling when you see a great actor for the first time in a really meaty role that he just lives in.
