    Arrow

    I just caught up with this series over the last couple days and watched last night's episode. It's pretty good, but a lot of the characters and drama seems to parallel what they did in Smallville, particularly the Merlyn father/son drama, and the Tommy/Oliver drama. It's working out almost...

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    Subito followed by descendo. It's not really new but it's gotten more popular since Inception came out. That's because the premise is the same. Ding, ding, ding! The only difference is that it has a Star Trek wrapper instead of a Batman wrapper. Or a G.I. Joe wrapper. Or lots of other movies...

    Lucy Lawless? She's like 45. Not that that's a deal breaker, and she does have nice tits... But I'm looking for something along the lines ofthis.

    Star Trek Online

    Max level becomes a resource grind. You'll mostly be running special task force (STF) missions, fleet missions (if you're in a fleet) and grinding daily missions (PvE and PvP). It's actually a benefit to keep your number of alts low, since there's the grind as soon as you hit max level. I have...

    Zoe Saldana in talks to play Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy. Gamora is supposed to be 6 feet tall and 170 pounds of muscles and tits. A "a highly accomplished athlete, gymnast, and hand-to-hand combatant". Zoe Saldana is 5'7", and probably only 110 pounds when fully clothed (and soaking...

    G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013)

    It's not a sci-fi movie. The first one sorta was, but this one isn't. It's a military action/adventure flick. And there are lots of stupid one liners and lots of things getting blown up, so you'll probably like it if that's your thing. Personally, I thought it was better than the first, but...

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    I don't care about Spock and Uhura, but the reason why some people do care is that Spock in TOS had Nurse Chapel chasing his dick, and Scotty and Uhura were sort of a thing for a little while. Either way, shipping is dumb.

    Star Trek Online

    Yeah, the mirror ships are dirt cheap (~100,000 EC) since they're sort of a consolation prize in the lock boxes. But when it comes to purchasing ships, you have lots of options. You have the ships in the c-store. Yes, if you want itright fucking nowyou have to lay out some cash. If you don't...

    The Matrix (1999)

    Pretty sure she had pumped out a kid right before filming. Gaining weight during pregnancy and then losing it will leave you looking like that sometimes.

    Bioshock Infinite

    A friend (who hasn't got a beefy computer) asked for the same thing yesterday, so I foundthis seriesfor him. There's no commentary by the player and it's in 720p, so the picture and sound is pretty good. Part 1 is like 97 minutes long, parts 2-44 are like 13 minutes long, with part 45 (the boss...

    The Wolverine

    Don't get pissed at the studios because a movie is rated PG-13. Get pissed at the authoritarian council of holier-than-thou assholes that has the studio's nuts in a vice, and has theater owners believing they're the only thing that can protect children from deviant art. Watch this:This Film...

    World War Z

    There doesn't seem to be a speck of blood in any of the trailers I've seen. The zombies look like CGI waves of people. In an interview with the director he was asked if the zombies have super strength or speed, to which he replied, "No, they're just undead people", but we see them jumping and...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    And that is why when a movie is made from a book, the people who have read the book and seen the movie tend to prefer the book.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Every time I see something about Wildstar I'm reminded of Don Bluth and Titan A.E. It has similar setting, tone and story. I mean, Earth is destroyed, humans are considered the scum of the galaxy, the hero of the story on a quest to find a [spaceship that can create a] new planet... Then you...

    The Matrix (1999)

    I always chalked that up to Neo having some form of innate root access to the matrix (due to the unbalanced equation the Architect created). When he was in the train station he didn't have root access, the conductor did, which means Neo went from being Superman to Joe Schmo. As for Neo's...

    They finally got around to announcing the May Update:Legacy of Romulus.

    The Matrix (1999)

    Right, because "struck by lightning" isn't something that everyone on the planet is familiar with. The fact is, I fucking loved The Matrix, even with all the technical problems it had. And it had a lot.

    The Matrix (1999)

    Wut? They didn't get EMP'd, they, and all those sentinels attached to the hull got struck by lightning. Plus Neo and Trinity were in a hovercraft. Hovercraft can't fly. The only reason why they made it above the cloud layer is because that "darkened sky" layer was only about a couple hundred...

    The Matrix (1999)

    The really funny part is that if the machines have a form of fusionthey don't needto rely on anything else. Of course the fusion bit was dropped from the sequels, which is why during that conversation between Neo and The Architect in the second movie that The Architect said, "There are levels of...

    OZ The Great and Powerful

    Agreed. I liked Franco in some of his films, but as a serious actor... He just can't do it. He plays himself in everything he does. That works well when he's playing a normal guy, stoner, blue-collar worker, etc. But put him in a role that actually requires a bit of character acting and he fails...

    JJ Abrams to direct new Star Wars movie

    This was something that always bugged me about Star Wars, particularly the prequels. One would think that learning to use the force meant that, over time, one would gain more control andprecisionas they mastered it. The really old ones (like Yoda) wouldn'tneedto be able to physically fight...

    No, I get it. I've got almost every comic Thanos has ever appeared in. I had a bunch of friends asking me about this scene after seeing it. "Who was that guy? Why did he smile after his army got beat? What the hell is going on?" Took a while to explain who Thanos was, and why he's interested...

    Funny how the word "Death" works in context with The Avengers... So, perhaps some of the supes will get killed off. We all know how Joss Whedon loves to kill off beloved characters in his work. But, maybe it'll also includeher.

    Lost Girl

    I started watching this shortly before the first season aired in the U.S. The pilot episode wasn't all that great. I almost quit watching after watching episode two, but then I got to the third episode where Kenzie goes undercover in a college and I got hooked. She makes that show. Lost Girl...

    Star Trek Online

    Yeah, it looks that way. A fleetmate of mine found some new artwork in the game files that seems to indicate a Romulan faction being a choice at character creation, as well as graphics for the three classes (Engineering, Science & Tactical). Devs have mentioned that character creation/UI was...

    Star Trek Online

    STO has really turned around since Cryptic was bought out by Perfect World. This time last year the game had just gone free to play and while there were a ton of new players, they just didn't have the end-game fleshed out well enough to keep all those new players. You had Borg STFs, which had...
