    Guestimate, and other words that may annoy you

    I just went to my allergist, saw this title in her office with another doctor she shares it with, and thought "Whatever this is, it sounds painful."

    Guestimate, and other words that may annoy you

    Words like guestimate are annoying, because estimate already means to guess. Please vent, let out the words you think have been a belt sander to the English language.

    Deadpool movie: WHEN?

    Congrats! I don't think Green Lantern was a lapse of Ryan Reynolds' acting prowess, but the result of poor writing, coordination, and judgement of the director. They had him revel in being some radical despot in search of his character, rather than write to bring him out as a character...

    Deadpool movie: WHEN?

    I'm not so much aiming at Sony milking the teets of bad writing and gimmicks, but I'm talking about Marvel actually creating something in the series. I miss Spider-Girl and the Scarlet Spider or good ideas that came from the bad ideas. I hope this Ultimate branding hype dies out already so we...

    Deadpool movie: WHEN?

    On the topic of saturated/overused characters, who else is tired of Spider-man?

    Deadpool movie: WHEN?

    That's just the way Marvel takes their characters. I feel if Fox were to take Deadpool, they'd go with the Cable & Deadpool direction moving toward schtick and slapsticks instead of actual humor and keeping everything in the Thor realm of "adult". If Paramount or Universal jumped on it though...

    Deadpool movie: WHEN?

    I'm dying to see a comic book "superhero" movie that doesn't take itself too seriously. I know there are a great deal of Deadpool fans out there kind of distraught at the superfluousness loads of detritus that Fox has created, but when do you think it would be a good time for Marvel to pedal...

    Is Gaming Dead?

    We should, instead of get up at arms about someone who isn't content with the market, ask ourselves "Why not?" Some people maybe content with the industry, and we get it already: the 90's had one too many Vectorman or Earthworm Jim's. The huge difference between Halo 3 and Earthworm Jim, the...

    Consoles Move in Phases: What's the next step?

    Congratulations Earth, we've made it to the future. No we don't all have the George Jetson flying car in a briefcase, but we're about to have flying cars. We know that much like trends and fads, gaming has moved with the ebbs and flow of a very demanding society, not only including hardcore...

    Is Gaming Dead?

    He isn't just referring to sequels good sir, he's talking about games like Bulletstorm that capitalize on the ground games like MW covered already. We as a community should have more options than "FPS, Beat'em up, or shiny FPS". If you had a chance to look on a menu at a restaurant, you'd want...

    Is Gaming Dead?

    As Moviebob said about the movie industry: it had to fail in order to succeed. No gaming is FAR from dead, just like everything else that started as a subversive medium (metal, skateboarding, and SAS coding). Things move in phases and fads, gaming has gone through and continues peripherals phase...
