    Interstellar (2014)

    I really, really, really wanted to like this movie, but it suffered from the same issues as his last 3 or 4 movies. I don't wanna spoil anything, so I'll just talk about Nolan as a filmmaker. My problem with Nolan is that he doesn't know what he wants his movies to be. He'll present this...

    Interstellar (2014)

    Black holes probably don't even exist so I don't care if liberties were taken.

    WarCraft (2016)

    Duncan Jones is awesome, but I don't know why anyone would agree to take on this project.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    You couldn't pause and issue commands the same way you could on PC. You had to open a menu for each character and it wasn't nearly as sophisticated as the PC version.

    Witcher 3

    I only consider content true DLC if it's something the developers conceptualized after the game's release. And I do think CD Projekt is poking fun at the nickel-and-dime practices of modern game developers.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    This game looks thoroughly dull and uninspired. Most of the people responsible for BioWare's success as a seminal, ambitious development company have departed, and that reality is apparent in the last few releases. BioWare only exists as a satellite company to fuel EA's hype machine and to...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    The whole idea of Hydra is silly and I just can't get over it. They look like they're working for fucking Google.

    Big Hero 6 (Marvel/Disney)

    There's been a sort of Disney resurgence as of late and this looks like it won't disappoint. 100% on RT so far.

    The Theory of Everything -- Stephen Hawking chick flick

    I'm surprised this hasn't generated more buzz. It looks great. I think it's pretty cool that Hawking lent his patented computer voice to the movie.

    Stretch

    Pretty fun movie. Chris Pine wasn't credited presumably because he did the movie for free or was paid below industry standards. SAG has some strange guidelines in that regard.

    The Flash

    I know the writers can't have The Flash dispatching super villains in a matter of seconds, but they really need to present some convincing challenges. He snatches weapons from common criminals with ease but stops to chat with these other dudes, allowing them to gain the upper hand. And why the...

    Interstellar (2014)

    What makes you qualified to judge the movie or its critics? Even if someone has a dissenting opinion, who cares? Also, I would think that this movie would appeal more to "artsy-bullshit" types. One reviewer said this movie lacks the human touch which isn't surprising considering how soulless...

    Alien : Isolation - Announced

    Finally beat it. God damn that game was much longer than expected. I'm glad I played on hard because the alien was a real threat. I've heard that it doesn't have the same presence on easier difficulties.

    MLB 2014 Season Thread

    Baseball isn't like other sports where the best (usually) representatives of each league have an ultimate showdown to determine the best team. Postseason baseball is a short stretch of games in which anything can happen and the outcome of a single game is influenced by too many factors to...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I've only caught the first two episodes of this season. Has there been any mention of terrigen mist or anything else to suggest Skye is Inhuman?

    Games with terrible AI

    I know I'm late to the The Last of Us discussion (I don't own a PS3 so sue me) but the AI presented in the demo was outstanding. What we got in the final product was completely different. If consumers took developers to task over this shit, it would probably put an end to this kind of...

    Games with terrible AI

    The one that immediately comes to mind is The Last of Us since I played it recently. It's a great game overall but enemies don't react to your companions AT ALL which can take you right out of the game.

    The Evil Within - Betheseda/Shinji Mikami

    You can't really win with this genre. Make a true successor to the Resident Evil and Silent Hill series and you're accused of stubbornly preserving outdated game design. Release something like Resident Evil 5 and you're criticized for abandoning the fundamental elements of the survival horror...

    Alien : Isolation - Announced

    I really like the 80s aesthetic of the game. I thought for sure that they'd go with a more modern vision of the future.

    Dad from 7th Heaven confesses to child molestation

    If a therapist reasonably believes that the person is a danger to himself or others then he must report it. The point is moot anyway because the wife is the one who recorded Collins.

    Wasteland 2

    My only real problem with the game is that it promotes save-scumming. I really wanted to get into that research facility in Darwin village but didn't have Rose in the group or sufficient computer science knowledge, so I reloaded close to 30 times just to crack the entry code. A big blemish on an...

    Mike Rowe responds to a complainer

    Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

    The biggest problem is that the player is forced to artificially inflate the game's difficulty in order to see the nemesis system in effect. That essentially means playing without equipping any new abilities or attributes. At first, it was thrilling to strategize and infiltrate strongholds, but...

    Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

    The final confrontation is extremely anticlimactic. All you do is hit a couple of buttons in a quicktime event.

    Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

    I'm approaching the end of the game and I think I have enough experience to say that the nemesis system is kind of disappointing. It's a positive step in the evolution of gaming, but it's more of a novelty at this point. You never even see it in effect unless you deliberately limit your powers...

    Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

    It seems like the wraith finisher is necessary to complete that warchief mission where you have to kill 20 uruks in 2 minutes. I can't really think of a faster way to kill them.
