    The Wolverine

    To those who ask 'why would he not?' The answer is: 'Because the side effects (acne, baldness and alteration of the vocal chords are not exactly good ideas for an actor and no one is interested in reduced testes and heart deformation) are not worth the reward' It's not like they are going to...

    That O is annoying... not Commanche, not Choplifter, not Operation Wolf, not Rambo, not Ikari Warriors... grrrr In my quest of military games with an O in the title I stumbled on that game... I remember trying it with a friend when I was a 12 and not able to understand english, so we...

    Hell on Wheels

    On a side note, I spent the first few episode wondering in what other movie/show the actor playing Bohannan was until I realized he just reminded me of Dominic 'McNulty' West... am I crazy or?

    Name that game

    This seemed like an odd version of F-Zero... and google in fact tells me it's a screen shot from BS F-Zero Grand Prix 2 (an expansion to a version of F-Zero that was only released in Japan through download via theSatellaviewservice) I thought the bottom game was Fairy Tales, but it's not :/...

    Answer the question above you, no matter what it is

    No. I learned about Kwanza reading The Boondocks and about Hanukkah... probably some american movie or TV show... I want to say The O.C. (though that seems a bit too recent...). There is no black history month in Switzerland! A question around that theme... what is the most surprising and...

    Spelunky

    Huh? I played that game a couple years ago on PC. And it did not look like a flash game too... EDIT: It seems it's the PC port of the XBLA port of the 2008 PC game... (there were additions going from PC to Xbox along with the change in visuals - for the worse in my book). PSN version supposed...

    Answer the question above you, no matter what it is

    School play when I was... 12? 13? Around that. It was less than a play, just a single scene with a dozen static characters that we performed at an end of year school party or something... I ended up being the guy with the most lines, which was a bit silly because I am a procrastinator with no...

    Shadowrun Returns

    Part of the GM's job is also to help and advise during character creation. You can't punish a player for making a character that you allowed in the first place! Same goes with players joining a group with a character made with another GM: adjust the scenario, adjust the character or have a new...

    Dexter

    You are not wrong, but there are levels. Sometimes you let things slide, suspension of disbelief, understanding some corners need to be cut and that realism must not go in the way of a good story and all that, but... sometimes it's just too much. I found this chain of events particularly grating.

    The Newsroom S2

    - Deus Ex Machina is still lame, even if you joke about it. - 'Superhero journalists' is a bit retarded, even when you write the bonding between the kid and Maggie, considering the kid is presented as a relative of the guy in charge of the orphanage. - The flash back of the kid touching...

    Dexter

    Hi! My name is Quinn. I am a brilliant detective. There's this guy who left the scene of a murder and who knew the victim, but because the witness recanted and his father is an important member of the community, we did not confront him about it. Since it leaves a sour taste in my mouth, I decide...

    R.I.P.D Rest In Peace Department

    I was surprised to see how destroyed that movie was on Rotten Tomatoes. It's not great, it generates more smiles than laughs, it feels like a second serving of Men In Black that does not really find its own thing, but the story is without fluff and unpretentiously goes to its point, the cast is...

    Retro and New Video Game Picture/Video Thread

    I'll not try to pretend I had ever heard of this game before browsing MobyGames! My first guess was Robinson's Requiem, a survival game from the early '90s. Having never played it I investigated some more and it has a sci-fi theme (crash-landing on an unknown planet) it's in first person and...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I don't mean Miyamoto is to blame for the situation, but he is the problem in the sense he has been the Nintendo brand for the past 30 years. A status that has even been reinforced with time when you consider the lack of good third party exclusives on their more recent home systems. Nintendo's...

    The Wolverine

    I suspect you underestimate three things: 1) As you underlined: the difference in goals. Jackman wants good muscle mass, low body fat, but does not care about power, endurance or speed. Your NFL players want speed or power+weight. 2) On top of his training, Jackman benefits here from a...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    One of Nintendo's biggest problem is that Miyamoto is 60 and that Pokemon is the only major Nintendo franchise he is not involved in (Smash Brothers being a meta-brand). They made a poor work of propping up new IPs from heirs to fill his shoes.

    Pacific Rim

    In UFO Robot Grendizer (aka Goldorak) we always get to know the name of the enemies as they appear, but it's only for the audience. I don't think the heroes were supposed to know the name of their enemies or were giving them nickname. In a way it's a good difference between camp and just bad...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    To put thing into perspective, from the point of view of someone who does not read super hero comics, these arguments about powers and who did what in what story, only demonstrate three things: 1) There are a lot of stories involving the characters 2) A lot of these stories are extraordinarily...

    The Newsroom S2

    I love these slapstick comedy moments in the show like the chair or Will unable to put his pants on (previous season). It reminds me of Dream On. As for the tweets my guess is that their were sent then by the guy they interviewed.
