    So Episode 7 apparently is pretty damn good

    Just got back from seeing it and while the visuals were great and the the score was awesome, the film itself was pure, unadulterated, fan-wank. To round this off, I guess my problem is good fan wank should be inviting to new people to show them how great the series is and get them...

    Recommended TV shows

    In these threads I always recommend the new "The Flash" series. Its more lighthearted then a lot of stuff on TV, but still has a lot of emotional weight and the main story arc goes at a really decent pace unlike a lot of shows that drag it out for the sake of drama. I'm a bit light on ideas...

    Google's new logo: Good, bad, or ugly?

    Reminds me of a set of alphabet fridge magnets I had as a kid.

    To those who pre-order games: why?

    I regularly pre-order games that I'm certain I'm going to buy at some point (even if its a year from now) and normally for one of the following reasons: 1) Free Stuff - DLC, free copy of a previous game etc. Pretty much anything really as long as I think it could be fun/worth it. This...

    Songs that are also stories

    This was my first thought and one of the reasons I enjoy Country music. A few more (not just country) are:

    Going to the casino for the first time.

    The best suggestion I've ever had regarding Casinos is set yourself a budget thats no more then you can afford to lose and then expect to lose it all.

    World of Warcraft down to 5.6 million subs, lowest amount since before the launch of Burning Crusade

    Personally the only reason I stick with WoW is due to the friends I have there as we still raid 3 times a week. I personally loved Pandaria and think its some of the best world building and level design Bliz have done, but then they had to go fuck it up with the final raid (which lasted over a...

    Poll: Do you use an e-book reader?

    While I generally prefer paperbacks, as I like having a solid product for anything other then games, I'm a big Kindle user and will always have it with me if I expect to be hanging around somewhere or have a long journey.

    Watch Now: Suicide Squad Comic-Con 2015 Trailer

    Regarding the release of the trailer and WB's comment, there's part of me that finds it a little odd that they'd want to stop people from seeing their advertising. On something effects heavy I could understand (additional polish before public release), but don't see that as an issue here...

    Batman V Superman's Full Trailer Finally Arrives

    The fact I found that joke more enjoyable then the entire trailer says a lot about my thoughts for this film. I thought the tone for Man of Steele was completely wrong for the character and I generally dislike prevailing DC idea of "Superheros arn't that great" that seems to be running through...

    Minions - Despicable, Indeed

    I watched this a couple of weeks ago and I loved it. Obviously I'm a bigger fan of the minions then Matt (in that I actually like them) which probably helped and I was at least chuckling throughout. All the human characters were entertaining and while limiting themselves to 3 minions for most of...

    I'm the Last of My Line

    Assuming traditional naming conventions, if your father's siblings are all female (like mine are) then a name can come down to 1 person. I'm in a similar boat to the OP where to find another person to carry on the family name other then myself you have to go back to my great-grandparent's...

    Poll: I want to play a new JRPG. Sell me on Final Fantasy 9 or 10

    I voted X as its my third favourite Final Fantasy (after VIII and XIV). However, while the story, visuals and combat are all great, it is very linear and IX definitely feels more like a traditional Final Fantasy. Oh, and if you get X get the HD remake with X-2 as there's a lot more to it then...

    PC Gamers Reporting Issues With Batman: Arkham Knight - Update

    On my PC its unplayable. Personally I blame the rain as weather effects (and added reflections) always tax a system. Oh well, back to Heavensward.

    Supergirl pilot has leaked and it's absolutely terrible

    Considering what Arrow turned into after its pretty abysmal opening few episodes, I'm still willing to give this a chance. The writing that wasn't cringworthy was entertaining (though they really should redo the opening narration), the action was pretty good and the majority of the cast were...
