    DC Should Just Announce A Wonder Woman Movie Already

    Great article, Ross. Between SJW and your earlier breakdown on Net Neutrality, I think you might be the best thing to happen to the Escapist since the Jimquisition. Keep up the good work, champ!

    Summer School - Part II

    Am I the only one who wants Marvel to take one more crack at a Hulk movie? Especially after watching him steal every scene he has in The Avengers? If things are looking lean on the way to 2015, maybe they could throw something green into the ol' Hollywood machine.

    Ben Affleck is The New Batman

    Honestly, this could go either way. And I'll take Daredevil over some of those other Marvel movies ANY day of the week. I'm lookin' at you, Punisher and Fantastic Four, and you both should still be sorry.

    How to Talk About Games #3

    Here's my beef. Maybe it makes me a dinosaur, but for me, videogames are still primarily about being games, which are primarily about having fun. Three cheers for wishing to re-brand the medium as interactive narrative, and I'll take thought-provoking introspective cerebral horror (Silent...

    Jimquisition: Neutered

    Ultimately, I think that it's always better to have more options instead of less, creatively speaking. Who doesn't see the obvious benefits of having a deeper well to draw from, even if it turns out to be a shallow bucketful? That being said, I have played more than one game that could've...

    KB+M and gamepads for gaming. Why is there such an issue with either being switched?

    You could always get a Splitfish Frag FX controller and have the best of both worlds. Left side is the analogue/d-pad side of a gamepad controller, while the right side has all the gamepad buttons fixed to a mouse in place of the right analogue stick. Works for consoles and PC. Boom, problem...

    PS4 Manufacturing Costs "Much Smaller" Than PS3

    Wait, comments on an entertainment website forum cause you to lose your faith in humanity? Wait, you would lose your faith in humanity because of a comment in an entertainment website forum? Me, too!

    Jimquisition: Dragon's Frown

    This. Times a billion. The concerns of sexism and female portrayal in games are warranted, but for the love of Chainsaw Buddha, do I ever want to smash watercolor foes to death with magic. Methinks PS3.

    Jim & Yahtzee's Rhymedown Spectacular: Pipes of Passion

    Mario can't die. At least, he can't stay dead, not with the green mushrooms about.

    Ace Combat: Infinity Bringing Free-to-Play Fighter Combat to PSN

    The last real Ace Combat games were released for PlayStation 2. There's no heart to this series anymore, just pandering. Namco can keep this one.

    Older games you still play from time to time

    Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War, and GTA: San Andreas. Every once in a while, I'll try to throw down on DMC3:SE, but it doesn't quite hold the same allure that it used to. Same with MGS3: Subsistence, but that might be because the control scheme in MGS4 makes it so much harder to go back. It...

    Capcom Vs SNK 2 Hits PlayStation Network Next Week

    I still have this on disc for my PS2, and still got my profile data from 2002. This game fucking owns. Rock and Ken, all day and all of the night.
