    Here's Your First Ant-Man Trailer

    A surprisingly uninspired thing. The camcorder clip of Ant-Man beating up those two guys at the end of a corridor in the test footage was more engaging to me. We'll see how it goes as more comes out, I guess.

    Roberto Orci Will Direct Star Trek III

    "Transformers Prime" raised the bar for Transformers-based stories, and yes, Orci and Kurtzman were involved. However, according to Wikipedia they only had Executive Producer and "Developed for Television By" credits, and didn't seem to be involved with the actual writing. (As opposed to the Bay...

    Roberto Orci Will Direct Star Trek III

    And, naturally, he's among the guys that gets used the least. They purposely rejected the chemistry of Kirk/Spock/Bones to streamline things. Trek'09 is purely the Kirk and Spock show, while McCoy just stands there with his arms folded and spouts a catchphrase here and there. Deeply angering.

    Man Spends Three Years Walking to The End of The World (Of Minecraft)

    Good christ, the fact that this is being done for charity is the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT PART of this story -- without it, you wind up causing your readers to blow him off as some fucking crazy obsessive. That said, I gave the #318 vid a watch last night. I found it unexpectedly entertaining...

    Star Wars: Episode VII To Be a Send-Off For the Original Cast

    It seems almost a given that they'll try to bring Darth Vader -- the franchises most iconic/profitable villain -- back into the fold. They've already basically laid the canonical framework for it in the prequels, what with the advanced cloning technology. It almost sounds reasonable: the...

    Star Wars: Episode VII To Be a Send-Off For the Original Cast

    They said they wanted a return to practical effects [http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/kennedy-announces-return-practical-effects-594929] for this round of flicks, to give it a feel closer to the original trilogy. Some things about this new trilogy sound VERY promising. Yet some...

    8 Shareware Games Everyone Should Have Played

    Ouch. As others have pointed out already, Wolf3D and DooM are exceedingly poor selections for a list like this. Here's some alternates: * Bio Menace * Kens Labyrinth * Jill of the Jungle * Halloween Harry ("Alien Carnage") * Boppin' * Skunny Kart

    Double Fine's Hack 'N' Slash Is Actually About Computer Hacking

    "You may have figured out that this JPEG is more than just an image. It is not an ARG. It is not a transmedia narrative. It's just a puzzle we've built for you that will give you some more Hack 'n' Slash tidbits as you peel back its layers. If you're into that kind of thing, we hope you enjoy...

    Movie Defense Force: Batman & Robin

    I saw this and 'Contact' back-to-back for free at some special screening a local theater was holding (execs from the studio wanted peoples opinions on 'Contact' after the film). Looking back, I call it the Sweet & Sour movie special. Contact was awesome. Batman & Robin... well... some days...

    Jimquisition: Children of the Resolution

    Gaben bless the PC Master Race. I can only forgive and pray for the Console Peasants, for they know not what they do. I hope only that some day they will feel the warm Steam blow across their hearts and souls so that they, too, may be counted among the Cloud Saved. Amen.

    Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus Review

    Having never really had a chance to play an entry in this franchise previously, it sounds like this is the perfect title to give me the gist of what made it so popular with people. I'll check it out!

    Zero Punctuation: XBLA Double Bill

    Yeah, but BC:Rearmed _did_ update the original in a lot of ways without ruining the spirit of the thing: Among other things, the health meter is a lot more forgiving, the frustrating radio receiver guessing game is gone, infinite continues, grenades, the weapon system is completely overhauled...
