    Check Out 12 Minutes of Narrated Dawn of War III Gameplay

    Great jumping terminators, did Gabriel just do a backflip in Cataphracti? Pattern Terminator Armour? That seems... unlikely.

    New Ghostbusters Trailer Introduces Slimer, Shows off Chris Hemsworth

    I blinked and missed that one. But yeah, that one seems more intimidating and mysterious than the others. Like it's a ghost instead of a person with CGI blue smeared over them.

    New Ghostbusters Trailer Introduces Slimer, Shows off Chris Hemsworth

    This one make me grin once or twice, so it's way better. Still dissapointed in the CGI. I thought we covered this: Puppets, Smoke & Mirrors = Scary. CGI = not Scary. Man in a rubber suit = Scary. CGI monster the actors can't see but have to realistically act as if there = not Scary. But...

    First Trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Revealed

    I'm all for more Star Wars, but I wish they'd stay in the Force Awakens timeline instead of going back to the OT timeline. Plenty of space to create new stories in the sequel times, no need to mine for nostalgia in the OT just because some little part of the story wasn't completely told. TFA...

    The First Ghostbusters Trailer Ain't Afraid of No Ghost

    Oh dear. That wasn't very good at all. Blue CGI puke turns into green real puke, and a vagina joke(?). And then we get a one sentence or scene definition of the main characters, like we're watching a Saturday morning cartoon show. Leader, smarty, goofy and sassy. Sassy seems to hit critical...

    Gods of Egypt - Clash of the ... White Men?

    This is what bothers me about the current social activists rhetoric. The insistence that all works and all groups should include them. Not just not exclude them, but actively work to get more of them represented. Used to be that people would create their own things as a response, which...

    John Oliver Torpedoes Hollywood Whitewashing on Last Week Tonight

    We must stop doing everything the way we did it, because it's the current year! /sarcasm I understand the irritation people might have when a actor is cast in a role that doesn't align with their skin colour, either way around. However just pointing towards Hollywood or the financiers and...

    Hello Sweetie - Doctor Who Brings River Song Back For Christmas

    Episodes -with- river song aren't bad. The Library, Time of Angels, Pandorica and The Impossible Astronaut are some of my favorite episodes. Episodes -about- river song, however, are often quite weak (Wedding, Kill Hitler). As for their final date, see the "First Night" "Last Night"...

    What Does the End of Moore's Law Mean for Gaming?

    Isn't this always the case with all technology? If you spend enough efforts on perfecting one technology, the effectiveness eventually flattens out and it becomes too expensive for too little effect. It is only when a new technology is invented that efforts to perfect once again become...

    Photo Manipulations Give Fallout Creatures Creepy Realism

    Aren't they a bit short to be deathclaws?

    8 Games You Can Still Look Forward to Playing This Year

    An online only EA game. Consumers should be very cautious about buying this at launch. It might be released in a workable state but I'd bet that the servers will not be able to handle the load. That and EA is way past due for another terrible launch for an unworkable game.

    EA Exec: On-Disc DLC Complaints Are "Nonsense"

    EA sure keeps on trying to be a player-first company, right? Prepare for a boatload of on disk DLC for Star Wars Battlefront.

    Superman destroyed Metropolis

    I suppose the problem is less about the destruction as the failure of story telling. If they had shown Supes trying to save a few people only to have Zod smack him down. Have Zod monologue about Supes having to choose between being a warrior or a savior. (This would work even better if they...
