    The Big Picture: Fair Game

    It's the anonymity of the internet that creates this, not just from allowing inexcusable behavior with no repercussions (as from greater internet fuckwad theory), but from the distrust of the source of the information. You don't know if a poster is a honest fan praising Killzone for its virtues...

    There Will Be Brawl: Episode Nine

    I was hoping I Could get a question in regarding the performances? When you take on something like this (a cultural icon for gamers) where do you draw inspiration for the character? Did you go back to the games of the tie in works, or did you draw from more contemporary sources? Your take on...

    There Will Be Brawl: Episode Nine

    Right there with you. With the deaths and departures this episode I'm sure that if Link was supposed to be gone he'd be out. We're defiantly going to see him next episode. It may be for a death scene, or he might release a fairy, gear up, and head out on the warpath like the hero we know he is...

    There Will Be Brawl: Episode Nine

    God I love this series. With the Gamer & Watch clones it makes me wonder if they're following the subspace emissary plot. I hope not. While I hope to see the master hand near the top of the chain (not puppet master, no offense but he's more of an image than a character and a final battle with...

    Escape to the Movies: Transformers Revenge

    I've been looking forward to this review ever since Bob started doing videos on the Escapist. I'm fairly certain he's been storing up bile for this travesty ever since the first one was unleashed. Expecting the metaphorical equivalent of Michael Bay's dessicated corpse collapsing from of cocoon...

    Escape to the Movies: Drag Me To Hell

    Yea! Context, back story and well thought arguments for the review! That's what I come to these for. I was ready to write DMTH off as another torture porn film in the spirit of Saw/Hostel. I even missed the fact that Sam Raimi was behind it. Now I might give it a look. Thanks Moviebob.

    There Will Be Brawl: Episode Four

    What they're doing with the characters is brilliant. Not one of them is just a carbon copy of their traditional identity. It's all a dark reflection of the smash brothers cast. Fox and Snake have personalities that would already fit into this world, but rather than use them unchanged we see...

    The Escapist Presents: MovieBob Reviews: Watchmen

    What I'm truly grateful to the movie for is that Watchmen is now part of mainstream culture. No matter how big a superhero or comic book is the public doesn't really know about it until a popular movie is made, not just because of the people who have seen it but because of the millions more who...

    There Will Be Brawl: Episode Three

    Right, I forgot about that. I guess we could see Yoshi and Jigglipuff introduced in a similar way (Puppets) since neither of can them really talk (I mean outside of Mario RPG for Yoshi). I don't really expect any big characterization for either of them, but I am looking forward to their take on...

    There Will Be Brawl: Episode Three

    This is pure Aces. On behalf of the internet Thank You for making this. Honestly, I was surprised not to see Jigglypuff in Tingle's club. I hope you have something planed for he/she/it later on in the series. Come to think of it, him, Fox and Ness are the only first stringers still to...

    The Escapist Show: Episode Nine: Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop

    Great to have moviebob back. I missed his reviews the last few weeks and really hope he'll be a regular contributor from now on. I got roped into seeing twilight and I can say there were only two things I found barely tolerable. The scenes of the vampire family and they dynamics between them...

    The Escapist Show: Episode Four: Mirror's Edge

    Great Moviebob review. He's finally getting back to the over analysis that made his overthinker spots work. What differentiates him from Yahtzee is how he doesn't just talk about how something sucks, but about the social context and reasons for it's suckage. Not just 'This sucks' but 'Here's how...
