I bought the game and have already downloaded the pre-load (mentioned for transparency). Still, even if I hate this game, and there are games I really loath after purchase, I can’t imagine a death threat to a programmer or even a suit. I hated Jar-Jar too, but I would never threaten Lucas over that. I will gladly…

Given how I played in Beta, I’ll get enough points for this guy, turn around to shoot and the session will be over....

Great article, loved your insight!

Honestly, it’s just horribly depressing. Reading about all these women(including Katie, I’m sorry) that have stories they can share.

The Yahoo video-chat was simple with low overhead - I used it a lot when I was overseas in 2002. At the time, it was lower quality or equal to Skype but more reliable in the fact it would freeze but text & sound would keep working until it came back; and Apple had nothing to offer in comparison. I stopped using it…

I had never even heard of the MOVE incident (I followed your link). All I can suggest is the classifications are different just like you broke out in your Others category. It was a mass shooting, not a mass killing by use of bombs or axe wielding attackers. Or think of this as a lone gunman, not a military/police/or…

Agree on all points. A change in 1986 would have created one of those Fixed points in time that would have forever polarized the series. Now, she has a chance to be just another Doctor that fans will like and dislike as they do all the other Doctors!

So now people are complaining about actors having experience? I’m old enough to have been watching Dr Who since the early 70's thanks to PBS in the US. I have fond memories of many doctors. I prefer the Tennant stories, but wanted more Capaldi and would have loved to have seen one more season with him. I thought Gomez…

In Dr. Strange, they changed the Ancient One’s race because of China’s fight with Tibet: it was about China money, not white-washing, but nobody want’s to admit the truth. Baron Mordo was white in the comics, but a black man in the movie - does anyone ever mention that? No, because Chiwetel Ejiofor is an amazing actor…

This could be a “test” to see how many dedicated viewers there really are. If enough people buy it, they can always raise the price later or come up with a way to make it even more popular to get more viewers such as lowering the price. If people aren’t willing to spend $50 for it, then they could use that as a reason…

“You need maybe three or four other nerds to play with”

Dear Diary...today I managed to use all the big words from my “word-a-day” calendar. I still don’t know what they all mean, (like Kremlinology...that’s a about buildings, right?), but I crammed them all into four big sentences so that I sound important since people don’t respect my Duck Dynasty beard. God I love to…

I’ve purchased books from Kamui Cosplay - they are well made and thought out for a general audience. If a group wants someone of that caliber to put on a panel for guests then that person has a right to request compensation for their time even if they might not get it. Or the con can ask for a free presentation and…

Just like Stephen King books, they never translate well to cinema. My guess is the TV show would be a better show to watch if you “hadn’t” read the books!

As always: the books were much better than the show. Those first few chapters were so good at “not” giving away the big reveal that when it came it was worth while. And such a great ending: totally believable given the world they were in.

GRRM has a history of taking forever to publish his books, and of telling people books are ready...and then waiting a year to release them after saying they are ready. There was a five year gap between Storm of swords and Feast for Crows, and then a six year gap until Dance with Dragons...why would this next book be…

Game demo’s no longer exist. Gone are the RPG demo’s of Doom or Wolfenstein - you either buy the game or do without, or wait months and buy it on sale when the price isn’t such a big investment. The line becomes blurred when you start thinking about cost: if someone wants a $60 item, downloading doesn’t seem like…

Exactly this. I’m only a middle of the road player, but I like to play multiple types of matches. Only...I’m lucky if I can get into 1 on the PC. And as you have said, there is no way to know if I’m the only person left on the planet playing this game, or if the other servers are just full. I could handle full, but it…

Thanks Jason, having never purchased the game, I did that same bad math and was going to skip it, but if it’s $60 for all content, now I have to rethink my weekend plans....

Disclosure: I’ve never purchased Destiny: but I can understand the frustration of players “missing a deadline they never knew existed and losing content without the option of keeping it” would feel. Even if it’s terrible content, it’s the feeling of loss without warning that is generating negative responses. This…
