I've actually never heard someone say they appreciate something ironically. I've heard people say they like the unpredictability of a terrible media construct, or that they enjoy something on the basis of nostalgia while acknowledging that other people may find it objectively bad. These...

This movie was really cute. A bunch of amusing callbacks to original series stuff, nice action sequences, and Pine acting in the Shatner-style for 2 hours. Watching this with a bunch of Star Trek fans, they were quite happy and amused to be served, we all laughed through it. Success as a work of...

My gut reaction was Cloak of the Cloak and Dagger duo given the hood and having a girl in his arms, but everything else shown makes it pretty unlikely.

for comparison http://media.moddb.com/images/games/1/1/227/thief2covernn5.jpg Yeah they made him both a goth and a ninja. Even if they toned it down slightly. Also, "black nails"? when was that ever a thing? You never even see his nails... Ah, I forgot how Eidos Montreal is addicted to...

Ah good. There are some of these. While SS2 is one of the greatest games ever made in my opinion, there are lots of reasons to dislike it. Flavor and graphics age aside, the gameplay is rather harsh. Resources are rather restricted and inventory space is limited. The more firepower you...

Ah Looking Glass studios. Your perfect storm of game development is reflected in only the best of today's games. I hope one day to see a studio create so many savory products again.

A great movie never finishes early or late. It finishes exactly when it means to.

Huh, is Hexproof still going? this article seems to be the most recent and is over a month old now.

Saw some pretty great stuff at FNM. Angels are legit. Especially restoration angel with thragtusk. Speaking of which, I saw slaughter games maindecked to pretty great effect to counter the thragtusk brigade, and most win conditions. As far as getting Nicol Bolas out, just play an Architect of...

I'm loving the Raka control decks that have been popping up courtesy of plentiful multicolored mana and hybrid cards. Tempo, burn and Giest of Saint Traft. What more could you want? Well, aside from the sweet sweet sound of Dega lifegain/burn courtesy of gatecrash. The time is right for...

For those saying that the film possessed too many fanciful layers, try watching "Inland Empire", and to a lesser extent "Mulholland Drive". There's a really solid, consistent message buried in "Mulholland Drive" that takes a lot of thinking and logical analysis to pull out, but when you find it...

Nicely done. With regard to Feminism: I have no problems with people that support the independence and equality of the individual, but on numerous occasions I've had self-proclaimed feminists tell me that men are "inferior", "animalistic", "evil", and the source of all violent crime. These...

Valve. Remember evil doesn't mean bad at making games. =P

The real limit on Odric is the three other attacking creatures thing. Other than that its basically "creatures you control are unblockable and have provoke". Not actually provoke, but pretty close. Odric does go against the grain of exalted, but when most of your exalted is tied to Sublime...

My favorite is the scout, and also the first class I played. I try to balance out which class I play by what the team is in need of, so I play a little of everything now.
