I've always found The Mask to be severely under-rated for, if nothing else, containing a fantastically done subversion: Also, the dog. Perhaps animals are a key element to a Carrey comedy success. Although I think both The Truman Show and Man on the Moon were fantastic, but I literally...

This would explain it! So it's more in the range of my father's homemade horseradish, which we used for curing sinus infections. Guys, you have to tell us these things; vast swaths of the world are looking in confusion from our French's bottle to the screen and back again and impugning your...

I never realized you guys had such a fear of mustard. Or is it mustard and poetry combined specifically?

Fistbump of solidarity. Dynasty Warriors 5 was actually the second modern console game I played (I went from a SNES to a late-gen PS2, but of a jump) and I imprinted on it like a little duckling, but SW2 was the one I fell in love with. (And WO1 is my favorite of the series, perhaps in part...

You know, this isn't actually confirmed yet. RDJ will appear in a non-cameo role in Captain America 3. That's it. That's the whole thing we actually know, which means this weekend of furious speculation and wank over said speculation has given me a hell of a headache.

Well, it's either that or you greatly increase your risk of an aneurysm due to perpetual rage, and I'm not ready to be the next Kevin Sorbo. You know how in the greater geek culture everyone slags off on furries because they're a safe target? Dynasty Warriors fans get this in video game fandoms...

AAAH. Oh god. This game looks brilliant and no, no, I cannot buy it. Guys, I actually screamed out loud (a small scream! perhaps even a squeak!) at the end where Jim was lurking under the desk and he turned and the xeno was there. Perversely, I feel like I should buy it to reward these devs, but...

I dunno. They remain committed to not giving us a HD remake of FFXII, and you'd think that would be dirt easy. Also I'd sacrifice goats for it. Seriously, I know where to get some. Anyway, my point is I don't think we can take much away from the X remake. I don't know what the motivation was...

I think you're all forgetting that Yahtzee, too, is in a holding pattern, and needed to remind us he exists. (I mean, let's face it. Anyone who thought he would actually like this game, raise your hand so we can all gawk at you. And truth be told, none of the basic facts--remembering Yahtzee...

I still want to see them compete to see who can kill the most people with flowers in GTA: San Andreas before/without getting killed. But I also still can't decide if it would be better to make them have to find the flowers or start with bouquet-in-hand. Suppose that would be for the test run to...

I get the feeling what some reviews/people are missing is that "fear-generating stuff" isn't a universally solvable formula. For example, I've never been scared by any of the Silent Hill games--disturbed at times, yes (god, the room where you fight whatshername's father), but never frightened...

You know, I got to thinking about it, and I'm starting to wonder if this is just a new trend for big budget titles now? I mean, think about FFXIII: Final Fantasy is a series known for its storytelling, but it is flat-out impossible to make full sense of what the hell is happening in XIII unless...

Aha! Thank you, you've helped me articulate something. I'm one of those Eternally Late to the Party types (This summer I wrote a review of FFXIII! How's that for timely!) and I have just finally discovered the joy of Saint's Row 2 after someone at a party told me if San Andreas was my favorite...

You know, the theme music has really grown on me. I rescind all bad things I have said about it.

Oh my god. I just hauled butt to Wikipedia because I suspected MovieBob was punking us all, but no, it's true. The Wachowskis are giving us a movie about Sean BEEan's attempts to find special nectar for his baBEE and Mila Kunis being inexplicably aroused by Channing Tatum having more in common...
