okay Bátmántángo is brilliant.

Half-Life 3 confirmed.

Spoilers for post-credits:
Barbara Gordon is brutally raped and assaulted by Jared Leto, thereby setting up the Birds of Prey spin-off.

as an older (read: not-teenaged) gamer, the amount of filler in modern gaming just completely precludes me from playing them. I don't have 100 hours (let alone 45 hours) to fight waves of enemies and track down widgets and (shudder) audio files to grind my character up. Give me a streamlined story, 15 hours max, and I

It's like Claire Temple telling Luke Cage she "knows a good lawyer". SHE'D BETTER NOT BE TALKING ABOUT MATT "JUSTICE IS BLIND AND I AM BLIND TO HOW JUSTICE WORKS" MURDOCK.

Also, literally just the plot of The OA.

up here in Canada, we weirdly have commercials where chickens know that they're so delicious they tell people to eat beef or pork instead (with requisite shots of adorable-looking cows and pigs).

To do the right thing, it's really simple for you
The copyright law, it will tell you what to do
Buy one, for every computer you use
Anything else is like going to the store

Telltale had better get its shit together and remove those fucking "X will remember this" warnings from their next games. They had it as an option in the earlier ones, and then seemingly forgot that people don't like having their choices dramatically pounded into their heads.

It's really reading "Veep's Chris Addison", because I still can't stop picturing him as Ollie Reeder on The Thick Of It.

"surprisingly eclectic".

I'm sorry, but nothing compares with Karen Page's monologue in DD Season 2, which essentially reads,

god heavy metal is so stupid.

It's my favourite kind of a trailer! A trailer that tells you you're about to watch a trailer!

I love Rope - it is, of course, a Hitchcock masterpiece - but I was impressed by how deeply unsettling Compulsion is. That is a film that really pulls very few punches, and the treatment of their sexuality is treated a lot more frankly than Inhat implies, above. It's quite a striking and in some ways distressing

have you ever seen a man eat his own head? no? then you haven't seen everything.
