    Escapist Podcast - Science and Tech: 029: The Great Frame Rate Debate

    In regards to the FCC's letter to AT&T delaying its fiber buildout, as a concession for its buyout of Dish, AT&T agreed to provide high-speed fiber to X number of customers in Y markets by date Z (I don't know the specific numbers), and AT&T had already failed to meet the minimum milestones the...

    Let's Talk About the Ending of Frozen

    Elsa going out into the wilderness, and building her Ice Palace has all the effect of a repressed person, finding themselves alone, screaming their frustration at the world, and then going back inside. "Let It Go" is supposed to be about her finding herself after years of, at least partially...

    Escape to the Movies: Gravity

    I'm apparently the only one of my friends who didn't groan at the trailer. I loved the movie, kinda wish I had access to a proper IMAX screen to see it on, and I can tell you all that my friends would probably not like it.

    Steam Greenlight Holds One Year Anniversary Sale

    Bleed is nice little massacore platformer-shooter which is worth the non-sale price.

    Mass Effect Writer Reveals Discarded Ending Ideas

    I just played through all the DLC, and Leviathan. Leviathan, or at least a summary version of the backstory points it introduces, in the launch game would have helped the "Star Child" not seem so out of the blue. I'm not saying its okay, because it was still poorly handled, just not as out...

    Microsoft "Has Alienated" the U.S. Military With Xbox One

    How many more ways is Microsoft going to find to say "We don't want your business."?

    I (Also) Wrote That Crap

    Considering things like Orca and Razorback, among other things, Beavers and Bottlenose are not that crazy sounding. They just needed to be pitched to Golan-Globus/Cannon Group about 30 years ago. :(

    Escape to the Movies: The Dark Knight Rises

    Short version: I saw it at a midnight opening, full price, with three friends. One friend is dyed in the wool Batman fanboy, two others are not necessarily Batman fans, but like Batman and some of the versions, I generally dislike Batman, but like some of his incarnations. All four of us are...

    Court Upholds Ban on Samsung Galaxy Tablet

    The downside is that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 1 was banned, which is complete BS if you/anyone has been following this business. The upside is that even to Samsung this is outdated tech and was replaced by the Galaxy Tab 10.1 2 months ago. No, the real problem here is the Galaxy Nexus ban. That...

    Mass Effect 3 ending SPOILERS!

    If the Catalyst is a a true AI, then it is an AI that (being tied to the Citadel) has more than enough processing capability to put it on level with a Culture Mind. Yet, while it was created to peform a task, it is incapable of affecting neither the timeline, the progress of the task, or even...

    The Big Picture: There Will Never Be Another Watchmen

    Lets clarify something here. These prequels ARE about DC trying to make money, as they are a business after all. They ARE NOT about keeping Alan Moore from getting the rights to his characters back. That agreement was based around the idea that the original Watchmen series would, like so many...

    Escape to the Movies: The Phantom Menace 13 Years Later

    I have my likes and dislikes with the Phantom Menace as much as anyone else, so I think the real question here is: Is the 3D conversion worth a movie trip, or should I just stick with the Blu-Rays if I absolutely must watch it again?

    Is Steve Jobs the 2nd Greatest Innovator of All Time?

    Well, everyone has already said, in some form or another, how I feel about how off-base the list is, especially the Steve Jobs part. Anyways, I thought the reason for the Apple snub of Flash was just as much about Jobs being pissed that Flash (while still a pretty crappy player) was leagues...

    Poll: IPhone VS Android

    I had an iPod Touch (16gig 2nd gen) in the past, before I got my Android (also a Samsung Fascinate). While I did have apps and music, its primary purpose was a rather long list of podcast feeds. iTunes, and by extension iPod Touch and iPhone, is horrible for managing and playing podcasts...

    Escape to the Movies: Immortals

    It might just be me, but the style and costuming of the Gods reminded me greatly of Zardoz. Very 70s-ish.
