    Doctor Who As Watched By Someone Who Doesn't Really Watch Doctor Who

    Hmmm... sort of had mixed feelings on this episode as they go. Never had any issues with the Clara character. The 3 things I didn't think worked as well as they could have (timing/pacing): 1) the Doctor's not-quite-in-his-right head scenes made him feel a bit too idiot instead of just...

    Zero Punctuation: Firefall - Proof That Jetpacks Make Everything Better?

    I don't know that Yahtzee would get anywhere into the Mists of the actual game. Read what you wrote. Yahtzee would spend 98% of the review asking how long it took the legions of Blizzard developers to put the word Smurf... err Panda into every describable item/race/landmark/title in the...

    The Big Picture: Leave Michael Bay Alone

    I don't know that I'd single out Michael Bay as the issue. I'd moreso put the problem with the crud the screenwriter is cranking out that doesn't appease as either an independent movie or as an extended object of the childhood cartoon. Movie's from Marvel and the recent LEGO movie prove you...

    Escape to the Movies: Edge of Tomorrow - Tom Cruise Is Cool Again

    I saw Edge of Tomorrow, out today, yesterday and I think I've broken the time stream. Please send help to me last week. Thought I would dislike the film as I'm not a recent-movie Cruise fan (though I did like Tropic Thunder). Not sure if I'd buy it but I would watch it again some day...

    Escapist News Now: Smash Bros. Justifies New Character Choices

    The Wii fit trainer does not belong in a brawling game because they are not a "character". There's no definition or iconic history. There's just... instructional blah. It would be like a new X-men movie with a some girl who's called an X-men but who just kind of hangs around but doesn't do...

    Neverwinter Review: Welcome to D&D Infinite

    Though they often do things in the game that seems to break characters, I haven't hit a more character progression open game than Turbine's 7 year old 3.5ed D&D: DDO. Not just that their race(8)/class(13) matrix is huge (with no restrictions), but throw in up to triple multi-classing...

    Movie Defense Force: Alien 3

    I'll respond to the three points of this Defense that held no water for me just summarizing them as I remember. I might have to watch the directors cut someday... I still dislike this movie from an opening day viewing after standing in a long line... so maybe I'm a bit dank on it. -The only...
