I do think there’s a valid point of contention: if Xbox disappears as a hardware choice, the digital libraries that Xbox gamers have amassed since the 360 era — especially the third-party titles — won’t carry over to that Xbox-console-less generation. Xbox The Platform lives on... but if one digitally purchased, say,…

Speculation!

As great as the first GTA4 “Pruit Igoe” trailer is, nothing beats the final teaser. After months of comedic teaser drops introducing side characters like Vlad, Manny, Roman, Packie, and finally Playboy X (who reminds us that “Jesus, he killed people… he killed that John the Baptist cat”), the world was itching to see…

I know this is a hot take, but I’ve always felt that the Red War storyline was a pretty poor onboarding experience itself, but the point is moot because it can no longer be played. Instead, Destiny 1 is still available, and its storyline about the Black Garden is more relevant to Destiny today (and The Final Shape)…

I only just now saw the “ANT MAN” in “quANTuMANia.”

There was an interesting interview with Clare Kilner in the “Inside the Episode” segment that follows the show, where she admits to struggling with casting off the male gaze—she’s been exposed to little else, whether as a lifelong viewer of film and television, or in her directorial training—but wanting to infuse the…

A clone of Hitler.  Or Hitler’s brain.

Actually, no, it doesn’t work that way. The Supreme Court declares whether something is a right according to the Constitution. If it is a right, the government must allow it, and no law can be passed to deny it. If it’s not a right, the government may or may not allow it... it’s up to them to pass a law one way or the…

I am under the assumption that the Sokovia Accords are still active... which include, according to Captain America: Civil War, a provision that individuals with powers that “engage in extralegal vigilante activities may be detained indefinitely without trial.” I’m not sure how Damage Control evolved from the…

Tell me you haven’t been to a kink event in the last ten years without telling me you haven’t been to a kink event in the last ten years.

Unfortunately, a growing part of this kind of thing is what to do about security. How will you handle it if one of your guests says that another violated their consent? What will you do if someone comes up to you and say, “I wish I’d known you’d invited Joe before I got here; he’s had complaints come out of other…

This looks like one of those video game consoles they sell at CVS, up on the top rack above the Pop-Tarts.

Bow ties are cool.

And as for the “bare majority” point: don’t let the titles and the committees fool you... 48 Democrats vs. 50 Republicans and 2 DINOs is not a majority. 

Outside of the USA, Disney+ has an “adult” vertical named “Star” that lives inside the app alongside Marvel/Star Wars/Pixar. Maybe these are being saved for a big US launch of Star?

Geez, those coffins look expensive. Metal-flake colors, with embossed logos! Were they made custom at the time of death... or, are they pre-made and stored for future use? Because you can see them taking a while to manufacture. Like maybe, when you join the Justice League, you get a custom chair and a custom coffin on…

I almost feel like these Disney+ shows are a direct response to the Netflix shows. The biggest complaint about the MCU on Netflix is that there were too many episodes and not enough story. That maybe the first three episodes were great, and the last three episodes were great, and the middle ones were meandering and…

Another bit of confusion: if you hop back and forth between your PC and a console, some of that content (namely, the season passes) are tied to your Bungie account, but some of those (the expansions) are platform-only.
