Ichigo’s terrible, garbage behavior can be explained simply; she’s a teenager, a dumb, hormonal, terrified teen, like all of the other dumb, hormonal, terrified teens in this show. She’s selfish and manipulative because she’s terrified of losing blue-haired boy Hiro, while not fully grasping what any of that means.…

In the first 30 seconds of the film, we see a dead body be further mutilated by a piece of debris in rather graphic detail. Multiple bodies are found torn in half or otherwise eviscerated. I think the film does a decent job of dancing on the edge of R-rated violence by keeping the real gore relegated to characters we…

Went to see Rampage yesterday. It’s a decently entertaining monster flick, dumb fun in the ways it needs to be and full of that now-signature Dwayne Johnson charm. I was a bit surprised by how gory and sweary the film was for a PG-13 rating, but then again it’s been a while since I’ve seen a PG-13 flick that wasn’t a…

This thing is just on the north side of screw it, why not money, and it’s a fun red roadster with a funky engine position. NP from me, we need more cars like the Spyder on the road.

Yes, but it sounds like the people there don’t want things to change. Gotta keep those uppity so-and-sos in line. Leaving that aside, it sounds like not all of his desired changes are going over well with constituents of any color, so it does leave to consideration the possibility that his well-meaning crusade is…

It’s telling that my first though when I saw this article was ‘Miss Mercedes finally had an article written about her collection.’

Unfortunately for MS, they seem to be learning the same lesson Sony did with early gen PS3, which is that no one cares how pretty your games are if you’ve only got like 2 actual, honest-to-goodness exclusives, and everything else is either available on PC or on the competing platform. I mean, what does the Xbox have…

Definitely sounds up my alley. It seems obviously influenced by Huniepop, which leads me to wonder exactly how much of a clone situation that particular title has on Steam right now.

Vin keeps trying to get them to play FATAL “just for laughs”.

It was amazing for its time. Big sprawling levels chock full of tight platforming and joyous collect-a-thon gameplay. It was, to my mind, the only Sony property that was able to stand toe to toe with Nintendo’s Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie. It was also much more forgiving than Crash, with more fluid controls that shone…

Yeah, that particular run has done wonders to keep our perky purple dragon buddy in the hearts and minds of the youths for years after his last mainline title released, which probably means with the lull in new Skylanders material that the time is right to drop this remaster. Personally, I’m pre-ordering for my wife,…

Yes, with a significant portion of the sales coming from North America. It was a pretty major title, comparable to Crash Bandicoot in terms of popularity.

Lifetime sales of over 12 million combined for all three titles? I’d say yeah, it was a little popular.

Y’know, considering that a post-apocalypse setting was in that (in)famous poll they rolled out before Primal, I wouldn’t be too shocked to see this come true.

Really, it just succeeds in the same places that the previous stories did. Of the Ubi produced FC titles, only Primal and Blood Dragon have relatively unambiguous good endings, while 2, 3, 4, and now 5 all have endings that are depressing at best and horrifying at worst. Even the best-case scenario “golden” ending of…

All excellent points. I’m also an avid owner and collector, and though I don’t hunt anymore due to time constraints(and to be honest don’t get to the range as often as I’d like for the same reason), I agree that media depictions outside of attempts for aching realism like Cabela’s Pro Hunts that actually admonish you…

It’s not a bad choice. I drive a ragged ‘01 Silverado that’s now survived in my nearly two years of ownership:

He’s right, though. The chest-thumping Molon Labe NRA people screaming ‘not one more inch’ and the chest-thumping Brady Bloomberg Feinstein people screaming ‘ban them all’ don’t contribute anything to the national conversation about how to best approach the problem of firearm violence in our nation. I’m also a…

Really interesting article. It’s refreshing to see this issue tackled both from the perspective of someone knowledgeable enough about firearms to understand them, and someone coming at the issue from the angle of someone who writes about games, often violent games, for a living. My personal feelings on the gun debate…

Starfield, right? I’m hoping to see a trailer and release date at this year’s E3, even if it’s another warts and all Creation Engine game, because Fallout in space is like a dream come true for me.
