    Escape to the Movies: Star Trek: Into Darkness

    I enjoyed it as spectacle, the ships and action were thrilling. But it was like a McDonald's hamburger, tastes good at the time but then it sits uncomfortably in your stomach. That's how this movie was for me. At first I thought it was okay, not bad, enjoyable. Now after some digesting, it's...

    The Old Republic Population Shrinking

    The bigger threats to SWTOR (and the subscription model in general) is Guild Wars2, and Diablo 3 coming out. I like the game and I'm enjoying pvp for the most part. Secret World looks interesting as well. But I don't think it'll be worth 14 a month if there are good non-sub options out there...

    The glaringly stupid defense of the citadel (Mass Effect 1)

    From my understanding, although it's been a long time since I played ME1, that Sovereign transmitted the signal to the Keepers on the Citadel. And Sovereign was the agent that hibernated, waking up from time to time to see if organic civilization had progressed far enough to be harvested...

    Poll: Was ME1 really as good as we remember or was Saren just an idiot antagonist?

    Doesn't the Catalyst AI residing in the Citadel render the whole Sovereign, Saren debate moot. Why didn't the Catalyst AI just open the Relay itself? Why this rigamorale with the Conduit etc.

    Very Long Analysis of ME3 Ending, aka why the ending is great (spoilers)

    My issues with the ending aren't really about Shepard dying, the universe being substantially altered, or any perceived thematic shifts except for one. My issues with the ending can be boiled down to Deus ex machina, big plot holes, and a shift away from player input (beyond a contrived...

    Are there any good RPGs on the apple store?

    On the mobile app store my favorite RPGs are Space Miner (a hybrid of asteriods and an RPG game where upgrading your ship = leveling) Battleheart (action RPG) Galaxy on Fire 2 (space RPG) War of Eustratch (robot RPG) Dungeon Hunter (action RPG) I've never really been that much into...

    The glaringly stupid defense of the citadel (Mass Effect 1)

    *****Spoilers for ME3***** As someone mentioned in the ME3 plotholes thread, wouldn't the AI on the Citadel have done something to allow Sovereign to win? Or more directly just trigger the mass effect that would allow the Reapers to jump to the Citadel?

    Mass Effect 3 Plot Holes (Explanation?)

    The Reaper solution to the apparent inevitability of the synthetic domination is just too much of a tautological train wreck. A synthetic AI foresees the inevitable destruction of organics and therefore prevents it by creating a synthetics (the Reapers) to destroy organics... Regardless of...

    What's wrong with the new Doctor Who?

    I've only been a fan of the new Dr. Who series, never really got into the old one much. I like the new Dr Who, including Matt Smith's doctor. On the whole the series is more creative than your standard SciFi fare; solutions and plot resolutions doesn't depend on gunplay or techno-fixes...

    Best Tower Defense Game

    Anomaly Earthzone is a refreshing approach. You have to keep your convoy alive by using appropriate routes and powerups as opposed to trying to kill the creeps with towers.

    Convince Me (please) The Old Republic Fans.

    I quite WoW about a year ago after playing since 2005. I like TOR a lot and my enthusiasm for mmo's is back but with some caveats. Pros: Leveling is fun, the story aspect (quests, voiceover, setting) is much better than WoW. You will skip dialogue even the first time around but you'll...
