I expected to see Cherry 2000, personally. The tale of a sensitive guy searching the wasteland for a replacement body for his sex droid, post soap-bubble accident. Led by a beautiful, sultry hardass while fleeing the deadly, barbecuing Sky-Ranch gang. Potent stuff indeed. It had a lot going...

Lovely stuff. Really enjoying this series of posts -- great idea. It's helped fuel my current cosmos image obsession (I finally weaned myself off paleo-art, phew! So least no one will think I'm a massive nerd now). You should consider doing a solar one. My <a...

Certainly. Actually, I was mainly drawing a line from Anne McCaffrey's works to Martin's much later Song of Ice and Fire series -- GoT as lazy short-hand for the whole property. Just pointing out the Pern books have many similarities (and surely influenced Martin), rather than suggesting the...

With the clear lineage to works like Game of Thrones and the quirky gender politics of the series aligning with the modern Zeitgeist, it'd be a missed opportunity if WB didn't consider this for an on-going television series. I mean I'd love to see the Pern saga get the big-budget, silver...

As has been pointed out and reported both in the video and elsewhere, those claims have not been corroborated and the rumour has been flatly denied by Microsoft. The confusion probably stems from MS's blanket ban also covering use of voice chat - Ridiculous to be sure and quite likely to be the...

Sure it does, I know why they were temporarily banned and maintain that the move is justified. A bit harsh and clumsy given the lack of warning, sure, but as a clear statement of their attitude to profanity and/or abuse going forward I applaud it. The video uploads are associated with these...

Completely support this move by Microsoft (oh boy, did I never think I'd see myself say that). The integrated XBox Live ecosystem is neither an open, creative platform nor a forum for expressing outlying socio-political attitudes. It's a playground ? and a very public one at that. Decorum should...

Meh. I already have a nondescript black box that has mandatory installations and games associated with online accounts. Honestly not seeing the appeal of this generation at all. Nothing like the entertainment and tech revolution vibe we got from the last one. Beginning to think investing in a...

Win! You guys have just been on fire recently. BTW, never got around to saying it but I LOVE the new artstyle Cory.

If you're in the UK then you need to bookmark Lewie Proctor's site [a href=http://savygamer.co.uk/]SavyGamer[/a]. He tracks daily internet deals, including coupons etc. It has a UK leaning, but is generally valid for everyone, cross-platform, and presents all the info in a clean no-nonsense...

I'm not sure what "people" you think I'm with, but obviously I pointed it out because ACM is such a recent and egregious example. Gearbox is a reputable (and like-able) company, with a couple of smash hits under their belts too. They presented an extremely rosy picture of the game's development...

Damn. Because of course my observations were solely directed at you and your buying habits...

If you really want XCOM, buy XCOM. If you kinda want it or wouldn't mind, just wait 'till it's super-cheap during the summer sale or end of year, and buy it then. The DLC crap and the hats totally aren't worth it, forget them. Let the reviewers actually do their job and review the game before...

These comments do make me wonder how well the producers actually understand the original games. To my memory Garrett was way more Han Solo than The Crow's Eric. He's also mixing his metaphors here. "Goth" the sub-culture and "Gothic" the architectural style and 18th century literary movement are...

This is the worst example of misleading, headline grabbing I've seen on the Escapist in a long time. Every alarmist point made is drawn from supposition and unsupported correlation between tenuously related subjects. The tone is also thoroughly subjective, despite all the "we's". Not a Guild...
