    Consortium Is Free For The Weekend In This Timeline

    If you actually start the game, you'll see an announcement that Consortium: The Tower is coming to kickstarter on January 18th. It also links to the sequel's website: http://www.thetowergame.com/

    J.J. Abrams Addresses Lack of Rey in The Force Awakens Merchandise

    The reason there are so few Rey toys is because the ones that are out there are "rare first editions" that don't have her family name on the box. I hope you didn't open them and ruin the collectible value.

    Where Are The Marvel Games?

    They ARE making good Marvel games...they're just being aimed at younger kids. Lego Marvel and Disney Infinity are both REALLY good. Both of them also follow the secret of the new Marvel movies: "fun" works better, sells better, and is easier to pull off than "cool".

    Douglas Adams' Starship Titanic Crashes Into GOG

    Keep the hint page [http://www.uhs-hints.com/uhsweb/stitanic.php] queued up in the background. Between the intentionally quirky parser, being a 90's adventure game, and Adam's hilariously twisted logic, you'll probably need it. That said, it's a brilliant and funny game.

    Netflix's Movie Catalogue Is About to Get a *Lot* Smaller

    DVDs still exist people. Netflix through the mail 1- Has pretty much every thing ever released on DVD ever 2- Can usually get it to you in 24 hours (only a little slower than Hulu) and 3- Only watching media watching for 2 hours every other day is probably good for me.

    Watch: Halo 5's Opening Cinematic

    Since when does "drop in behind enemy lines" mean "drop right into the middle of a firefight"? They can't even bother to throw in a line about "looks like our LZ has been overrun"? I have to assume the aliens they're shooting are the "bad covenant" from Spartan Ops and not the "good...

    Crackdown 3 To Launch in 2016

    The campaign mode will almost certainly have a strong incentive to not kill civilians. Like before, you will probably lose experience on your skills (and get nagged by the director) if you kill civilians. Maybe all the gameplay videos are at night so they can say the office buildings are...

    8 Glorious Years of Zero Punctuation

    I like the new audio track on the Witcher video. Too bad it ends a few minutes before the video.

    Final Fantasy - First of Its Name

    For those who want some plot to go with their Final Fantasy, I would suggest checking out 8-Bit Theater [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2001/03/02/episode-001-were-going-where/]. It's an early (2001) webcomic by Brian Clevinger before he went on to fame with Atomic Robo.

    Spinwhiz Will Soon Offer An Entire Comic Book Library - For Free

    When I think of the words "comic book ndustry", I wonder if the author is trying to be Xtreme or maybe he's making a subtle shout out to some of the former Escapist editors.

    Dungeons & Dragons Publisher Launches 5th Edition "Feedback" Survey

    I'm not sure what to think of this considering that "balancing" the classes was behind the things I liked least about 4E. I understand the desire to address any loopholes or exploits before the next round of D&D Encounters gets going, but that's not my scene. Most of my (few) complaints are...

    How Final Fantasy VI Conquered Character Recruitment

    OK...so this Final Fantasy game is a "JRPG" (whatever that is) with a "simple 'plucky rebels vs. evil empire' tale". There are other people to recruit, so I'm assuming there's a main character. Ah... never mind. Even though the column is called "Good Old Reviews", I just noticed the page...

    Stolen Pixels #260: The Dark Fortress

    Apparently it was not scary enough.

    Xbox One May See Some Schedule Changes For Its Fall 2015 Lineup

    I'm not even considering buying an XB One until there is a good Halo or good Crackdown game. I don't care when they finally come out...but if neither one is good enough for Yahtzee, there are still a lot of games coming out for the 360. They'd better hurry up with some compelling content...

    Sacred 3: If Someone Asks If You Are a God, You Say Yes!

    I believe OOTS explained it well: http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0669.html
