Ah, for some reason I was under the impression that DayZ didn't have a persistent world. Still, it does sound like H1Z1 will be doing a lot more with the persistence, but then DayZ has never gotten out of Alpha, so maybe that's an unfair comparison to make.

While I think this is a genius move by CBS and have no doubt Colbert will do great as a host, it doesn't outweigh my disappointment that this means we're losing The Colbert Report. In my opinion, there are no shortage of people that could make good talkshow hosts, but I'd be hard pressed to...

It's hard to tell if the clue if the clue was placed there after Spencer sit down or he was just lucky enough to sit at the spot where the clue was. I would assume the latter since that's what they've done in previous seasons.

A persistent world is really sounds like a game changer for the zombie survival genre. Even if there's not permadeath (and I'd bet that would be a ruleset on at least one of the servers), it does mean you have a lot more to work for, which means even more to risk. The idea of having an economy...

My argument was that Kass doesn't really look that far ahead. She puts herself in a position of power and remains comfortable there until she sees that power slipping away then she freaks out and makes stupid moves. She's convinced she's still in a powerful spot as evidenced by her "free...

I think the reason Kass is unlikely to get very far in the game is the same reason she voted out Sarah: She can't stand not being the one calling the shots. Her entire game seems to be motivated by putting herself into a position of power, damn the consequences. For some baffling reason she...

If this is the type of show that can tell a complete story over 13 episodes, I could see it being really good television. If it's going to hang in that nebulous "Oh, we'll call it a miniseries so we can walk away with our heads held high when it gets cancelled" places, it'll almost certainly...

My theory is Lucas is the type of person who really thrives only when a fear of failure is their primary driving force. With A New Hope, studios were extremely reluctant to get behind the movie and still figured it was going to be a flop. Lucas knew he had to prove both his vision and himself...

AMC was also working on a show thatsounded similar. At first, I thought Ascension was that show since AMC passed on it. I guess the idea just isn't terribly unique.

That's pretty bizarre if it's true. FOX has to get a Fantastic Four movie out in 2015 or they lose the rights. This would mean them having to start from square one, which doesn't really give them much pre-production time, particularly if they are going to have to start casting again. I wonder...

I would guess that's one of the reasons Lucas nixed the idea. You can have Han go out a hero by sacrificing himself, but the "happy ending" part of that would be completely overshadowed by the tragic ending to Han and Leia's romance.

If I recall correctly, it wasn't just going to be that Han Solo died, but that he was going to sacrifice himself to save the others. If he was going to die, I think that would've been a fitting way for him to go out. He starts off as the detached scoundrel who is in it solely for the profit...

The thing I find so baffling about the whole "blue line" alliance is that Sarah thinks just because Tony is also a cop that he won't lie to her and she can trust him implicitly, but somehow forgets that their first interaction was him lying right to her face about not being a cop. She's so...

This is only matters if Syfy is willing to put the money where their mouth is. The thing they never realized when they shifted away from sci-fi was that it was never a problem with the genre, but that it was one of quality. They forget that that was one of the whole reasons they did the...

First look ofMatt Ryan as Constantine:

Does Red Dragon really count though? It's based on source material that was actually was published first chronologically. The movie may have come out third (not counting Manhunter), but it wasn't the author going back and filling in details after the fact. Now,Hannibal Rising, on the other...

The middle of season 2 is where I gave up as well. The first season seemed to have a very solid direction which primarily revolved around Emily's desire for vengeance. Once they got renewed and realized they'd have to stretch that story over a few seasons, the whole thing became this extremely...

I think it was an homage to dystopian novels/movies in general. There were references to Logan's Run, 1984, Brave New World, Zardoz, etc.

I'm just still trying to figure out how this all is supposed to fit together. It's a show about Jim Gordon working his way up through the police force, but it's also about Bruce Wayne dealing with the death of his parents, while apparently also giving us the origin of several of Batman's foes...

According tothis article, "the polygon count on one character in Arkham Knight is as big as the count of the whole Arkham Asylum environment". Though, it's from my understanding that this trailer wasn't done with the game engine.

I never said that prequels automatically "suck", so don't misconstrue my point, which was that prequels often lose some of their dramatic tension, particularly when they are based on the same characters. The closer the prequels are to the events of the movies they are based off of, the harder...

That's usually the problem with prequels. A lot of the drama is immediately sucked out of them by knowing the ending before going into it. The peril Obi Wan and Anakin were put into in the prequels were immediately nullified since we knew they'd make it out alive. Granted, they can set this...

I don't think it's going to be the last Arkham game, just the last one Rocksteady will be doing. With Arkham Origins, WB seemed to indicate they want this to be a yearly franchise, and considering how successful these games are, I'm sure they are going to try to continue to milk it. I wouldn't...

Just a reminder: Season 2 starts tonight!

If it has to go on any of the network channels, NBC has the best chance of getting the tone right. Between Hannibal and Dracula, I think they've shown that they're trying to emulate what's been successful on cable and are willing to push the envelope as far as they can.

Saints Row IV is currently$15.99 at the Humble Store.

I don't think it was ever a problem of tedium, but that it was blatant how much they were just winging it as they went along. In a way, the show was a victim of its own success. It was a big hit for NBC, and therefore NBC was unwilling to do anything to risk losing that. So, instead of having...

The only thing sprint like this accomplishes is making you feel slower when you don't have it. They could make the base run speed twice as fast as every other MMO, and I'd still feel like I was going slow when my sprint meter runs out. I sort of wanted my Esper to be a male Aurin since I...

The latter. FOX still owns the rights and plan to have a movie out next year. They've already announced Michael B. Jordan as the Human Torch andit's been "leaked"that Kate Mara will play Sue Storm, with Jamie Bell as Ben Grimm and Miles Teller as Reid Richards.

I'm not exactly thrilled that Take Two plans to continue to milk (and undoubtedly run into the ground) one of my favorite series, but I think one of the good things about Bioshock is it's a unique franchise in the amount of freedom it will allow future teams. Between the first and Infinite...

Gabe responded on Reddit:

There's a part of me that can't help but wonder if that hasn't been the intent right along. If Rhode Island sells Amalur off and that company takes it, polishes it up, and releases what becomes an extremely successful game, doesn't that lend some credence to Curt's claims? By asking such a...

The problem I have with Jesse Eisenberg is that he's basically Jesse Eisenberg in everything he plays. He's the tense, neurotic, slightly jumpy, usually cocky character. That's not to say I don't think he has the talent to pull off Lex Luthor, but that I'll likely have a really hard time...

Yeah, that's gotta be my biggest pet peeve with the game right now. So many times, I move a unit only to find out its special attack won't reach the unit I was going for. Personally, I just wish they wouldn't lock you into where you move until you finish your turn or use an attack.

Considering some features in Wildstar seem to be inspired by GW2, it disappoints me that they didn't do anything with combos. To me, that's always been one of the better ways of encouraging and rewarding group play, but it's something that's barely been explored in MMOs. To this day, FFXI is...

These voice actors announcements always strike me as a little pointless when it comes to MMOs. Any actor that is that high profile of a name isn't going to be recording more than a few quests worth of dialogue, which means you interact with them for like a day or two and never see them again...

Yeah, it's sort of a shame that the renewal wasn't NBC showing confidence in the show's quality, but them conceding that it's the strongest thing they have on their Thursday line-up. The only reason The Michael J. Fox Show hasn't been pulled, after all, is because of NBC making yet another...

I think P&R is having to function basically like how Futurama did for many years. They look at each season as potentially being a series finale due to low ratings, so they write it as if it could end at that point. I think that is what Iannis is seeing when he says they're running out of road...

I've been enjoying it a lot more than I expected to. I'm not terribly far into it (only a few hours), but the more I play it, the more strategic I'm finding battles to be. It seems pretty simple at first glance, but as the game goes on, you start to see where there is a more depth that...

Oh, I wasn't saying she's not a complete dumbass, but at least she's not a cardboard dumbass and a little entertaining.
