    10 Marvel Characters Who Should Show Up On Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    And I recall the Sentry as more of a Reverse Captain Marvel: old guy gets cosmic (magic) powers that make him young. And his skill set is really just "flying brick" as TV Tropes puts it. Nextwave Agents of HATE would be a fun throwaway gag for like a nightmare Coulson has, but that wouldn't...

    10 Marvel Characters Who Should Show Up On Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I think Alphas was a better show with a budget that was likely a fraction of Agents of SHIELD's budget. Danny Rand and Luke Cage would be great for an episode or so of "Welcome Wagon" duties, since one is Magical Batman (sans utility belt), and the other is a wrongfully convicted felon that...

    BioWare Says Farewell With Mass Effect 3: Citadel and Reckoning

    And while I'm sure it's already been said: I'm not one of the people that thought the ending undid the 500 hours of my life that were spent enjoying everything leading up to it. And I am aware it's been a pretty sad point to make of how much I've "Effected Mass to the first, second, and third...

    BioWare Says Farewell With Mass Effect 3: Citadel and Reckoning

    I am! But I'm thinking that's because I'm a completionist, and I want to experience it all when I play a game.

    The Big Picture: Enough With The Batman Already!

    I personally loathe this concept on the grounds that it's the "safe bet" that Time-Warner's executive board, populated by Liches whose phylacteries are their company's net worth, will execute in the wake of this Avengers-flavored Beatle-mania. Aquaman should be shown at about the same...

    The Big Picture: A Disturbance In The Force

    I also find the number of comments on an Intellectual Property that boiled down to "Spaghetti Western with Telekinetic Samurai Wizards... IN SPACE!" from so long ago is in excess of 200 comments compared to the last couple of topics Bob covered...

    The Big Picture: A Disturbance In The Force

    I agree that Abrams shouldn't have the keys to both of those sci-fi kingdoms, but I'd prefer him to Michael Bay, among others. I haven't enjoyed Star Wars since becoming a junior high student, for reasons mainly in the "pure" sci-fi fan college of reasoning. I believe more in stories where the...

    Top 5 Friday: Top 5 Worst Videogame Romances

    I've found that the usual romance set-ups in games come across as "we have a male protagonist, and a few females. We need to pair them up! For DRAMA!" Though; this model is usually applicable for other media. Especially superhero comic books. inFAMOUS had that whole Evil Cole/Sasha thing...

    Zero Punctuation: Dead Space 3

    I enjoyed the first 2 games for the story elements hidden in the text/audio logs, but this one managed to finally pin that aspect of gameplay. The billboard effect for HUD placement/management made more sense than the ones from the last few Silent Hill games and just about any shooter. I'll...

    what is your favorite weapon in fallout: new vegas?

    It's a toss-up between Pushy (it's an even higher-tech Fisto!) and That Gun (for nostalgia, but that's about all it's got going for it...)

    Video game weapons you found most useless!

    I would have to say as repair fodder for your Abilene Kid LE BB Gun. I had a Guns skill of about 25-ish & could snipe & one-hit Raiders with it as an Unarmed specced character. Other than that: there's always been a BB Gun in the games since the days of Fallout 1, which may be a weak excuse...

    Poll: Do you ever pick the shield?

    I tend to Tank it up, so I'm the Defender. It might be because I'm abnormal in just complying to the party dynamic & also hate being a squishy Mage that gets eaten by bosses when a defender can't keep the boss's attention. That being said; I also tend to go balanced between both physical and...

    What is the best movie moment without any words?

    I'd have to say the scene from the Big Lebowski after Larry Sellers' house, when they're driving home. That's the one that came to my mind after reading the title of the thread. Another one from a Coen Brothers film is the scene in Burn After Reading after Brad Pitt rented the suit for a...

    Fallout Online Promotes Famous Mutant as Deity

    From what I had read some time ago, it seems like this game's been in development for awhile. I still loved the pamphlet, especially the cover and the section on other things to read from The Church.

    Your weapon in the zombie apocalypse. (with a twist)

    A pillow and a bedroll. I'm set up fatter'n biscuits & gravy! Edit: I also spot my cell phone charger, for whatever that's worth....
