I said they make it look cool. I'm just worried about durability over time and use. Like the 3DS, at first the stylus fits in nice and snug, a year later it you take it out too much the plastic wears down enough it can fall out on its own. I've also had issues with the shoulder buttons and...

2 steps forward, one back. Getting away from the gimmicks is a good thing, and combining handheld and console gaming in as plug and play as possible (and without buying the game twice I'm looking at you Sony) has been something gaming's needed for years. Then you get to the actual hardware...

On its own, I don't think much of the new 52 was toxic (at least compared to some of those shittier Elseworlds), but in the big picture, it hit the basic problems fans have with reboots. Yeah yeah, ***** about whiny nerd culture entitlement all you want, and I won't say you're wrong, but that...

While everyone tries to mock this, and to a large degree should, there is an element of early warning to critics to be had. I don't watch critics for information anymore. Entertainment, yes, many can be rather funny. But by the time I have to wade through several, for an extended period to...

It's been said above but I'll repeat it: it seems movies dropping 50 - 70% of their first week's take seems to be the new normal, regardless of the quality of the movie. It\s a medium where you either have to see it now, or you wait 3 months for it to come home, with the cost of going so high...

Premise: A relation of Walter Peck is majoring in environmental sciences when she has a life threatening paranormal experience. Not sure what to do she talks to the "weird" classmate (we'll use Hotlzman) she's known for years but never really talked to for advice. Holtzman is a fan of the now...

The accountancy talk tends to include desired return on investment as a fixed part of the budget, as well as compares it to comparable movies. As such, BvS had a 400 million budget (including marketing) with a roughly 900 million return globally. That probably would put it in the black, even...

Protest isn't the right word for the topic. Complain might be better, and the answer is yes. I've spent a lot of time the last few years wondering just why people spend so much time complaining about things they don't have to buy or are otherwise are not forced to partake in. I'm not into...

Man, I don't know if that's like picking a favorite finger or a favorite rash. Let's see: Fugitive Alien / Fugitive Alien 2. Hercules Against the Moon Men (DEEP HURTING. DEEP HURTING.) War of the Colossal Beast (not the best movie, but the Mr. B Natural short is a trip) The Wild World of...

So we barely have a treatment for a sequel to a movie no one was really asking for, but we're putting a spotlight on our casting choice well before it's made. Why am I afraid this movie will have the same lack of subtlety that plagued Agent Carter? Shame. Someone with tact might make it work.

No. I'm assuming a mindset that automatically assumes titillation equals crap, without trying the game, or before the game comes out, or even entertaining a possibility that a fanservice game might be good in its own right. Consider it a pervert's parallel to assumptions about female led games...

Saying "there isn't an audience" is only half the answer. It doesn't explain why there isn't an audience. That, to me, comes down to as a culture we're more sex negative than we want to admit. It's a desire to keep sex and sexiness an isolated thing from other entertainment, and generates a...

*I'm in a quandary. I didn't entirely hate the movie, but the parts I did are the part I think people wanted me to like. Somewhere in there there was a great bad movie to be loved ironically trying to get out, but so much in the area between Erin getting slimmed to Dan Akroyd's cameo just felt...

That's what you get when you give gaming crack to casuals without the tolerance.

I actually don't mind the idea of skits, it's just most are god awful because, yes, for many it's a one man show where they take on roles that aren't their strong suit (like writing dialog, plotting, acting, special effects). I mean, his politics aside, I did like The Game Overthinker's first...
