May have won the Oscar in 1942, but I always got a chuckle from the title.

I doubt it. I seem to recall some massive space battle "off-screen" between Evil Corp and team Protagonist because reasons (That's how little I recommend the book - I can't even name a character); that all the kids are wearing 101 gear suggests they're employees of Evil Corp and they've swapped...

As someone who though the book was relatively pleasing nostalgia bait until it got bogged down in Deus Ex Machinas about artifact cool downs and Future espionage and speed read through the second half: 1) Am I supposed to know who Voldemort Hulk is? His well funded opponent? 2) What the fuck is...

NFC North: Packers. CBs doom them in the playoffs once again, but they squeak by Detroit. East: Cowboys. Still the best O line on the planet. Giants are only awesome if Eli isn't done. Give me any evidence Eli isn't done. South: Falcons. After only Belichick, Dan Quinn has the most success this...

There's been four New Star Wars Movies started. Out of those four: 1 director delivered his bland, repetitive movie and then apparently dropped out of the franchise. 1 director had half his movie rewritten and reshot. 1 directing pair got fired from their movie. Only Rian Johnson seems to be...

First impression: Only 20 games? They are totally going to sell additional DLC games through this, aren't they? Second impression: Star Fox 2 is a shrewd move for the retro crowd. IIRC, Super Mario RPG never made it out in Europe either, as the Square/Nintendo rift was already in effect...

I barely got into the mid 50s before I said "Fuck it" - now I only do the zone Emissary if I still need that mount and log. (Oh, and the even more chances per day for Nomi to burn your mats). It sounds like even the LFR crew will be done with Tomb for months before Argus shows up, so why should...

Like usual, Ubisoft won E3. I don't even want to play most of their games, but they at least bring new stuff every year, delivered in a memorable (if rarely good) fashion. AAA Game of the Show: Wolfenstein Downloadable Game of the Show: The Last Night

My memory is fuzzy - did MS announce a single MS developed game? There are indie games they are publishing, like Ori 2, but anything developed by MS itself? Even stranger they didn't mention Halo 6. Unless Forza 7 wasn't officially announced before today.

Supposedly Bethesda learned the lesson and has designed dungeons / quests on each of the planets. But if all that means is that a random cave / Super Duper Mart has a different layout every time, who cares?

Amazon leaked this year's release date for Wolfenstein : The New Colossus. You would have to assume a lot of Quake Champions. There's a ton of chatter about Starfield - a hard sci-fi Elder Scrolls/Fallout style game with procedurally generated planets.

I could have sworn MS said none of their first party games wouldn't also be available on PC as of a year ago or so.

For most of us, who probably spent ~$499 on our video cards alone... I'm glad our PCs can run the bad ports of these games we'll get. It's the same thing we say every year - if they port the games to PC, there's no point in having the console, but if they don't port the games, the handful of...

Sigh, we had gone so far without fake team speak....

I hope to god MS and EA talking about online personalities is just them not having anything new to talk about it, and not what all the fucking press conferences will devolve into.

You are aware MS may not put out another 1st party game on a disc beyond Forza this year, right? Maybe Crackdown, but they don't have much else. And you can always throw more horsepower at car graphics without getting into uncanny valley territory.

There will never be another good console name, will there?

1) I'm kind of shocked the Jets realize the season is already over this early into the (pre-)season. 2) I assumed, and I assumed everyone else assumed, that unless the Patriots suffer numerous key injuries, they would waltz into the Super Bowl fucking yet again. But seeing analysis (napkin...

I had no idea the dude was from Green Bay (cue everything really does suck from Green Bay, Bears-fans). I had no idea the dude was already 51 - he was ~38ish when his first movie came out. (I mean, there are guys like Jan de Bont who was 51 when Speed came out, but that seems old by modern...

Honestly, given what we've heard about the show, that doesn't look bad! It also doesn't look like anything I will ever pay for. And yes, none of us give a shit about yet another prequel.

Yeah, at least the Nightfallen campaign quests had some real meat to them. But this crap? Give me 100 doohickeys. Kill 100 demons. Do 12?20? WQs. How about get the fuck out. But if you do all of them, we'll give you another mount you won't use while you're waiting for how many months for...

There's a reason for that, which I wish the show hadn't stepped on by keeping the cabbie's ID from the book. And I too was hoping Zorya Polunochnaya would go topless, to see how much was her and how much was costuming. You know, for science.

All the 'stars' are 'leaving' the show because the only way they could make it cheap enough to keep on the air was by firing everyone. And speaking of cheap, that's the entire reason you're getting another season of SHIELD. It costs less in the long run to add one more 13 episode order of...

To be clear, that is the gayest the book ever got. Although if you think it's slow now, just wait until Shadow is chilling out in Northern Wisconsin for two or three episodes. Hell, I'll put it this way: while I liked AG, I only read it once. Anansi Boys I've gone through three times.

Like I said, I'm not sure performance like this at EA gets another single player entry anytime soon, if ever. I was going to say that the only surprising thing about this is it seems to rule out DLC, but were any DLC plans ever announced? That alone suggests EA knew this was a debacle months...

I'd have to think that episode was utterly incomprehensible to anyone not familiar with the book. Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I read the book, but doesn't one of the Vikings get hung in the book intro? Not connecting those dots in the TV version just turns the ending into an...

Its almost as if in an era when anyone can get scores near instantly on their phones, and most sports have their own networks, the only people that add any value at ESPN are talking heads making inflammatory/moronic statements that draw ratings. Weird. Or in other words, cable sports are now...

So Osweiler is the Browns starting QB then? That should be fun for him. And I guess the Packers have given up on pretending they can do anything this year other than draft mid-tier CBs en masse and hope things work out (or whenever this pick gets traded to)? Great..

And the worst possible scenario here is that the Writers' Guild goes out on strike and CBS is desperate for material and puts this largely already written show on broadcast, it's a steaming pile of Homeboys from Outer Space, and everyone thinks "Lolz, a Star Trek TV show" for 20 years. Speaking...

If you say one goddamn thing bad about Awake I'll reach through the internet and kill you myself. Not one mention the main character (the black gal they killed off on The Walking Dead) is named Michael? Trans(gender)Porter accident or very special series?

As some one whose comic heyday in the 80s/90s rotated around the Avengers-verse (I can tell you off the top of my head that Issue 298's cover was "Edwin Jarvis - the last avenger!", Which had him hitting a robot with an umbrella), I can assure you they always sucked. The weirder thing is how...

I heard the server farm had a power outage, so they downed the servers cleanly before the backup power ran out. I suspect Blizzard won't/can't care enough on a Holiday to "fix" the Broken shore buildings, and will probably let them stay up until the Tuesday downtime.

1) Isn't Odin confirmed dead by the end of Thor 2? She could always have been that powerful, just not powerful enough to handle Odin + the rest of Asgard. 2) Not a Thor lore guy, but didn't Loki swap out a fake hammer at some point? Could see Thor tracks Loki down with Strange in intro, brief...

Christ almighty, how could I forget, the correct answer is: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (technically a "sequel" to A Fistful of Dollars & For a Few Dollars More.)

The correct answer is Army of Darkness. Common people would go with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Depending on how strictly you define it, Logan would qualify.

I assume most people knew Distuptor was best in the long run, they just went with Mage Tower first because Flying Rep was a one time thing (before they knew how moronically invasions were designed) and they though the artifact skin was a one time thing (and thought it was something the LFR crowd...

That wasn't as bad as Ep. 6, but I should have known that once they humanized the interrorgator, nothing was going to be resolved. The Equinox didn't work for me either.

Yeah, I did some WQs on my ret, and they borked the z-axis on Divine Storm for sure - if I was on an incline or the mob was tall, it wouldn't hit (though the 10% aftereffect would). #JustBlizzardThings

On one hand, it is silly that WQs give ever better rewards while being ever more trivial. On the other hand, if WQ loot still matters to you, you don't need it made any harder. And this argument is doubly stupid when Sentinax portals just devolve into spamming as much AE as you can before the...

The summary is that Leagues wouldn't let Vegas allow bets on games that occur there because it would be easier for Vegas/people affiliated with Vegas to fix games that were local. That's a faulty idea for two reasons: 1) In the internet era, fixing a game hardly needs to be done in person, and...
