    Zero Punctuation: XCOM 2

    I don't know anything about X-com, but I felt a pedantic need to point out that Nagas are from Hindu mythology, not Greek. That is all, you may continue.

    Misused Terms You're Sick of Seeing

    To make matters worse, I quite often see people use it as a synonym for "a lot". For instance, "A is exponentially bigger than B". What's that even supposed to mean?

    More Blackrock Mountain Hearthstone Cards Revealed

    Makes sense. The text is "whenever you target..." after all.

    5 Great Titles From GDC 2015

    Oh come on, Schrödinger never seriously suggested superpositions of living and dead cats and you know it. Still, it seems like it could be a fun game. Also, there is a special place in hell for people who exchange "O" and "Ö" for the heck of it.

    Image Comics Will Now Mail Comics to Your Doorstep

    Am I an idiot for assuming all comic book companies already had subscription services? I mean, I subscribed to Donald Duck and Bamse when I was a kid, and I'm pretty sure The Phantom and all the other ones had them as well.

    Peggy Carter's Back (And Throwing Punches) in Agent Carter

    Point taken, although I was thinking more in terms of how the camera was positioned. I think it was mostly the scene where she opened the safe that stuck out to me. That said, I didn't get the same impression from the second episode at all.

    Peggy Carter's Back (And Throwing Punches) in Agent Carter

    I enjoyed it, much more than I did Agents of Shield at the start, and probably now as well. Although, for a show sending a message of empowerment of women, they certainly knew how to show off Peggy's physique. Maybe that's just me being filthy. It reminds me a bit of the Captain America...

    Watch People Hilariously Misidentify Smash Bros Classic Characters

    I confess I haven't owned a Nintendo console since the SNES (I've borrowed/played at friends' places, though), so I'm not really the target audience, but I don't understand why they have so many characters from Pokémon, as well as from fire emblem. Surely there are more interesting/iconic...

    Obsessed Fan Cupid Stalks Arrow in "Draw Back Your Bow"

    Regarding the dwar star alloy, this is from Ray Palmer's page on ComicVine, http://www.comicvine.com/ray-palmer/4005-34685/ So, the dwarf star alloy is definitely a reference. As for the episode, I enjoyed it. Cupid was really fun to watch. On the other hand, I really wish they'll put this...

    Sweden Considering Sexism Labels For Video Games

    People seem to be under the impression that games in Sweden are suddenly going to be slapped with a label that tells you whether a game is sexist or not. While I suppose that is technically a possibility, I would say that is very unlikely. What is going here is basically that some guys at...

    Disney Princesses Meet Warcraft In This Fan Art Mash-Up

    Alright, thanks. I should probably get around to watching Frozen, it seems like "The Internet" is obsessed with it.

    Disney Princesses Meet Warcraft In This Fan Art Mash-Up

    Is #6 or #14 the one from "Hunchback of Notre Dame"? And who is the one who is not that one? I don't recognize #1 or #10, but I admit there are a lot of Disney movies I haven't seen.

    Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 2 Sends Heroes into the Shadows

    Overall I thought it was a quite good episode. I agree that the turning to glass part was incredibly stupid, as well as when he hid by absorbing the material of the wall in the storage room. You'd think that a large man-shaped protrusion would catch your eye. The slow-motion/voice-over bit at...

    The Best of Comic-Con Cosplay: DC Comics

    Surely that's a Mary Marvel costume? Or are they all referred to as Shazam as of now?

    Marvel Won't Move Captain America 3 Release Date for Batman v Superman

    I'm fairly sure I won't go see Captain America in the theatre, unless my coworkers or friends are really interested in seeing it. I saw the last one and thought it was pretty boring; the action felt drawn out and the plot wasn't very engaging. I expect this one to be more of the same...
