DC really wants to tackle box office records.

It would be oddly appropriate for Casey Affleck to play John Wilkes Booth and Ben to play his brother Edwin.

But red means stop. Stop shooting at those barrels. You're playing the game wrong.

While the big twist is not that unpredictable, I like the part of the game that comes after it because it gives the plot some breathing room and breaks from goal-oriented infiltration missions to just finding your way through unfamiliar areas without much guidance.

Still playing Dragon Age: Origins. I'm trying to be a stern, aristocratic female elf who happens to be barely taller than a dwarf and has weird bug eyes due to my character creation. The muteness makes any camera focus on her even more awkward. I finished the Dalish and Circle of Magi quests and am partway through

Doesn't make it any less awkward when you fly back home after defeating an alien fleet and it blows a hole in your base.

Did he come before whatever version of Space Invaders or Galaga first introduced the auto-shooting extra ship powerup?

Is this an episode of Talkin' Tayng?

It is kind of weird, though, isn't it? Why were old comic books so short on names? Harvey Dent was originally named Harvey Kent before they thought it sounded too much like Clark Kent, and there's also a Harvey Bullock involved in Gotham criminal justice. And Bruce Banner got the same name as Bruce Wayne. Why did no

If Entertainment Tonight started reporting from Georgia to oppose this boycott, would their tagline be "ET no homo?"

Has anyone ever made a tower defense game set in an abortion clinic surrounded by protesters? Now that's an all-expenses-paid ticket to Fox News.

Fallout, Bioshock, Team Fortress, Portal, etc. live in a world that's a little more extreme. We are not far off from video-gamey turrets in real life, but I question if even the most advanced society would use them as carelessly as games do. Especially if they're as prone to being knocked over and firing wildly or

Shutting car doors over and over is admittedly something of a digression from the main storyline, but I feel it's essential to the player's character arc.

I think the Ultimates did that, and everyone thought it was a bad idea.

The military was integrated starting in 1948, but it's irrelevant. Captain America assembled his team ad-hoc out of rescued prisoners, who could have come from segregated units but after that military doctrine wouldn't come into it. He also had British people fighting in his 'unit', so at that point we can assume this

So the 'realistic' approach of this game's aesthetics made something stand out that I've never thought about before: the frequency of automated turrets in video games. In this near-future crisis some government agent is authorized to deploy automated, autonomous killing machines in an American city, in addition to

Marvel: You don't want to sell me tickets to your movies. You want to go home and rethink your choice of directors.
DC: We want to go home and rethink our choice of directors.

They could have easily settled this by including a post-credits scene of her reciting the St. Crispin's Day speech.

My theory is that Pavement lyrics are written solely for the purpose of one day appearing in an AV Club Inventory.

As not great as she isn't, I think she's lacking a void of greatness that undermines her failure to disabuse us of the false notion of the deceptively unnatural nature of her success. Don't you disagree?
