I whole-heartedly agree. Each time something is sequelized, spun off, rebooted, or remade there is probably a 80% or higher chance that they royally mess it up. But the idea of not building a franchise is such a foreign concept to most modern entertainment businesses and fandoms (especially for...

Looks interesting with a variant on the typical nuclear-based apocalypse. The art style seems reminiscent of Daniel Clowes. I will hold off judgement until I can see what the gameplay is like and how nuanced the storytelling is. If the game is just a colorful series of pamphlets for goofy...

That sarcastic statement reminds me of this video. Just a note before watching, if you haven't seen this comedian he is based in the USA and right-leaning, but I don't think he is racist (but very much anti-SJW, anti-PC, and anti-socialism). I don't agree with him on a lot of things, but on this...

It's a funny graphic. And I get that understanding the citizenry is important for the office of POTUS, but I don't think that distance travelled is the most-crucial qualification for President. However if it is, then maybe we should write-in former astronaut, current Senate candidate Mark Kelly.

If anything changes in the content of those games as they are developed, I would think they would become MORE differentiated due to Microsoft's guidance. They will probably have release dates that are more spread out than would have happened without these acquisitions. But yeah, Microsoft...

I know that this has take a major tangent, but the thing about ascribing an environment as "emotionally toxic" to the people there is that this is a purely subjective label. I think you could objectively label a school, home, or workplace as toxic depending on how cruel the actions occurring...

There are some times when forced inebriation does happen (see this recent news story), but it is usually during high school or college parties. However, in the case of Chris Avellone all of the alleged force drinking happened at public bars (or semi-public due to the nature of the convention)...

At first I didn't want to watch through the 40 minute video because I thought it would be a he-said, she-said thing. But its all solid evidence through documented tweets, texts, posts, etc. - although not to the extreme of having surveillance in people's hotel rooms (but the absence of evidence...

Actor / comedian W.C. Fields was incredibly coordinated. He was a vaudeville juggler and usually worked several amazing physical gags into his movies. To compensate for this talent, he usually was imbibing on the set to continually refresh his alcohol intoxication. This often involved having a...

Bethesda's refund policy has recently changed (https://hothardware.com/news/bethesda-reportedly-renegs-on-promised-fallout-76-refund-offers). Now you can get a refund if you already paid for it, but not if you have already downloaded it. Too bad Fallout 76 is not on Steam. At least then there...

It must be from the mid-1990's remake Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learn to Stop Worrying and Love the Super Scope. Yeah, completely unfair that American and Japanese video game developers (with their NTSC) didn't (normally at least) go back and tweak some of the values to make it run at the same...

If you want to see the history of Microsoft video game studio acquisitions go to this Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mergers_and_acquisitions_by_Microsoft#Acquisitions Sort the Business category and scroll down to Video games. It seems that Microsoft usually gets a few...

I know what you mean. In 2007, I was playing Columns on the Wii Virtual Console and being in my late 20's I must have been in my peak mental acuity (and still pretty good reaction times) because I had a run where I must have done 5 times better than what I had ever done before on the original...

In the US the the Supreme Court rules on how certain legal principles are (such as common law (aka legal precedent), the Constitution, enacted legislation, executive orders, etc.) are more applicable to a certain case than other principles. But this tends to create a new precedent that other...

If the rational option would end the movie, then the writers should have made the initial scenario more compelling, made the protagonist irrational (which usually doesn't work), or made some surprising complications. To me its okay when they are being chased by a shadowy organization that is...

FO2: The mob bosses in New Reno. The plot intricacies were interesting, but while people practicing martial arts in PA San Francisco is mildly believable, having the mob bosses recreate the roarin' 1920's after the bombs drop is a bit too much. They talk in gangster movie accents. If they had...

Anyone seen Venom? I've heard its so over-the-top that it makes for a great comedy. Just make sure you see it with a bunch of friends ready to laugh.

My pet peeves in movies: 1) When someone is framed and on the run from the shady government, and the obvious solution is to document your case, contact a good lawyer, send video to a trusted reporter (or several), and turn yourself in - instead of fighting cops as you flee across the country...

It looks great. Seems like you almost have enough environmental debris now too!

If a war popped up in your backyard with 2 enemies. Would you side with the one that was winning and had the greater technical capabilities (but the more vile philosophical underpinnings)? Or the side that was against the ropes, had less technical capabilities (with more mild philosophical...
