For me, almost never. The rare exceptions (usually less than one per year) are generally when a franchise I have deeply enjoyed in the past has a new installment coming out. The most recent one of those (and the only one for 2015) was Fallout 4. (Note that I am a strictly PC gamer, and so any...

In FO3 and FONV, I tended to use fast travel sparingly, and (mostly) only when I had already cleared the supposed route between where I was and where I wanted to go. Otherwise, it felt a bit like cheating. Skyrim taught me not to use fast travel, since besides missing out on a lot of loot...

Just to toss my two (or three, or four) cents into the discussion: 1. As others have already pointed out, this was Abrams answering a question he was asked, not making some unprovoked announcement. And I'll also point out that while, yes, he is not in a position of authority over the future...

Basically, we're talking about two very different things, here. On the one hand, we have unauthorized, shoddy translations of popular novels, done so that those publishing the translations can cash in on said popularity, while the original author (and his publisher) make not one dime off this...

Exclusively PC for me. I don't own any consoles, never have, and never plan to.

I'll just note for the record that the Kate Bishop who Miles Morales dated was the one native, like him, to the Ultimate-verse (Earth-1610), NOT the more familiar "main" Marvel-verse (Earth-616) Kate, a.k.a. the Hawkeye of the Young Avengers. "Ultimate" Kate (or "Katie") was an ordinary teenage...

In addition to the seven movies and the animation, I believe it's been stated that the new line of Star Wars comics that Marvel (also part of Disney) is currently publishing are to be considered canon. Whether this is true or not, they are also rather good reads.

For what it's worth, I have to side with Disney on the 'scrapping the EU' thing. The EU was an agglomeration of stuff that accumulated ('grew' is too kind a word, with its implications of some orderly. organic expansion) over the years, and while it did include some brilliant stuff, far more...

I, for one, wish to thank One Million Moms for providing a useful service. A protest by them is pretty much equivalent to a 'Must See' recommendation from the critics. And they help bring more attention to things like the new Muppets show that might otherwise have escaped the attention of some...

Just for those who haven't been paying attention, SyFy really does seem to be making an effort to get back to putting on decent sci-fi shows. I was dubious when I heard they were making a series out of Twelve Monkeys, but as it turns out, it's really quite good -- smart writing and a more than...

Seconding on the celebrity obsession thing. And doubly so for "celebrities" like the entire extended Kardashian clan, who aren't even famous FOR anything. Why does anyone care what these people get up to at all? But for me the big one is professional sports. The degree of obsession among...

Alllll righty. Let's consider a hypothetical case that (I dearly hope) might shine a little light in here... Let's assume there's a new game released (let's just call it 'Game X' to have something to refer to it by), that is a sterling example of gameplay at its state-of-the-art finest. The...

Also worth pointing out that next Tuesday is Election Day across the US, and many local stations will be interrupting (or in some cases, completely pre-empting) network series to provide election-results coverage. So taking a week off to run a "disposable" Marvel special is probably a smart...
