    My faith in Anime is.....restored! Here's why.

    So this. I don't think that I can 'lose faith' in anime, I consider it a medium rather than a genre, but I don't think there have been as many great series recently as there used to be. For some reason all my favorite series came out between '98 and '05,even though I only got into anime...

    New Mario & Luigi RPG Hitting 3DS Summer 2013

    I just hope the series won't have lost all its idiosyncratic and characterful elements the way paper mario did. But that was apparantly an order from Miyamoto himself :( R.I.P Kammy Koopa :'(

    Wizard of Oz Could Get a Game of Thrones Treatment

    That "something... that continues to inspire frequent retellings" is called being in the public domain.

    Japanese games and race

    Just as a note its worth remembering that alot of early manga and anime, starting with Tezuka's Astro Boy, portrayed white characters because they took influence from Western animation. They've evolved into the anime faces we have now, but they're still white, so alot of it is tradition. As...

    The Big Picture: Stuperior

    Wow, Bob is the first person I've heard talk about Superior Spider-Man in a considered way, and not just as some whinging fanboy. Thank you Bob. And thank you for having actually read Slott's (excellent) run on ASM, I wish other people would. :)

    The Big Picture: Worst Movies of 2012

    I thought Film Crit Hulk was reletively positive about Amazing Spider-Man. I agree though, that the week Bob's hate for ASM spilled over into The Big Picture was kinda weird in the context of largely positive to luke-warm reviews and him talking about "much of the criticism" when little of...

    Amazing Spider-Man Ends With Issue #700

    I don't know if anyone here has actually read Slott's work on Spider-Man for the last four years but it has been excellent. His stories have been fun and lighthearted, while remaining big on concept and characters. Under him, Peter Parker has actually been a likable character for the first time...

    Critic Names Star Wars Prequel as World's Best Modern Art

    This shouldn't be news, this is just one woman's opinion that she's written in her own book. I have a degree in film studies and books like this a written to prove a point about a film, not to insult anyone who thinks differently. If she's focussing mainly on the artistry of the lightsaber duels...

    Jimquisition: Fake Nerd Girls

    I think people get annoyed by cynical media, I don't like alot of internet personalities, both male and female, because I don't think their informed enough to give noteworthy opinions. The problem with attractive women having success with it, is that geeks/gamers have to look at the people...

    Browser MMO Glitch to Close

    Damn, I do remember hearing about this when it got closed down last year so they could redo the gameplay. When it reopened I really wanted to give it a try, but no one mentioned it, so I forgot. Yeah, why didn't they advertise it!?
