The Darwin Project business with the streaming integration is indeed very Hunger Games / Running Man

My only fear is that Guerilla Games and Sony did not seem to fully appreciate what a monster hit they had on their hands. Subsequently I don't think they have even started working on a sequel as they are hip deep in their next project.

Squeeeee!!!! Spoilers for massive easter egg this week

Anthem looks...well I guess we will see more tomorrow but my first impression is DestinyFall

I actually like Killjoys a bit more, but really SyFy the last couple of years has been an embarrassment of riches. One wonders what they might have been had they not had those dark years between Sci-Fi Friday's heyday and now.

Ack! I never finished last season... I need to get on that

Had the house inspection today and things were going along great. Clear indications that the original builder had done things the right way and what few issues found were relatively minor... Then he got to the attic and found mold. There isn't a ton of mold, just some dalmatian-like dark...

I should honestly have seen the writing on the wall at PAX East. There presentation there should have been a pre-victory lap if things were solid, but instead they were incredibly reserved about everything when talking to people and Walters was outright defensive.

The pressure on the 'Dylan' team has got to be insanely high now. When they started working on it they had two mega-selling IPs in Mass Effect and Dragon Age that they could rely on as well as substantial promise of continued revenue growth from SWTOR. SWTOR still makes some decent coin as I...

I read that article and I think one of the critical issues is present in the original thesis for "ME4" -- the success of Mass Effect was not about exploration for the sake of exploring, it was about exploration that was driven by core plot and character elements. There was no way that a...

I've been on Omeprazole for over a decade now and yeah it does take a good long time to get 'started' so don't expect to feel better until after that initial two week period. I actually don't get 'heartburn' in the classic sense which is why I was able to miss that my esophagus was getting...

When I first saw him in The Wire, which I saw several years after the fact, I was surprised he had not been in more things. Glad to see people taking notice of the guy. The problem with really grand character actors is that they can often be overlooked. The classic example being Daniel Day...

I recall seeing on IMDB before the show premiered that Pablo Schrieber was in most of the episodes and thought it very odd since his character is not a huge part of the original book. I wondered what they could possibly be doing in order to justify having him in that many episodes. Silly me...

Rockland. Quasi-remote part of the south shore but still a short drive / bike ride to a commuter rail station.

The Laura / Sweeney / Infrit guy B-story is a wonderful addition. Thoroughly enjoy the giant ginger git.

As it turns out it is very much a thing to the tune of them accepting my offer even though it wasn't the highest actual dollar value. My realtor was pretty shocked at my beginners luck. I would be more inclined it had as much to do with my flexibility with respect to closing dates and having...

I feel when it comes to financial stuff you want a nice strong conservative-leaning finance guy. Had someone else go "well we can pull X amount of your 401k for the down-payment and then restructure the..." My current guy on the other hand was "rule 1: we don't touch any retirement funds...

Okay so in my noobness I didn't know about the 'love letter' that traditionally accompanies the offer. Thankfully I have a pretty good memory and just put together a quick missive based on the elements of the current owner's personality i remember from the visit. Assuming I don't get it I'll...

Went to a bunch of Abington/Whitman/Weymouth places today and found one I like, but we will see. Each place had a swarm of people in attendance and all of the real estate agents were very cocksure about the property going immediately. I mean it's a good sales tactic to drum up demand, but I...

I've only been house hunting in a truly serious way for 3 weeks now and I already hate it. I keep finding new construction or teardown remodels that look great, then I realize they are in Brockton. Like a fool I keep going to open houses there, each time thinking "maybe this part of Brockton...

Yeah sad we lost those posts. Crispin Glover delivered as only he can. I loved the 'making of' bit afterwards when they said they told the casting director they were looking for a "Crispin Glover type" and were told a couple days later that they had a meeting with him. I'd be terrified of...

I liked having Deathstroke back. Interesting reference to Jericho, given that Titans is coming I wonder if they are setting something up there. So no one noticed that he was wearing a wig and a fake beard when he got rescued? I suppose he could just ditch them when he got 'cleaned up' but...

My first thought at the end was "go look at the time vault..." I was a bit surprised that they didn't given the attention they keep paying to that one bit of newsprint from 2024

Well when reading the book it was clearly meant for a long narrative format. The pacing was very similar to Sandman in that effect and I could feel that it would have worked well as a comic. Even back then I felt that a TV series was the only way to do it justice and that in so doing lots of...

Audrey is phenomenal. The whole scene with her finding Laura and then talking in the bathroom was excellent.

Finally got around to doing Raid Finder Gul'Dan. I did initially wonder with the new Burning Shore stuff exactly when Illidan came back after we finished the flashback sequences, so that was informative. I still think he would be more perturbed at us having killed him and his overall "I told...

The nice thing about consoles is not having to worry about dealing with the tech curve associated with unlocked framerate etc. Puts everyone at a more consistent handicap.

The way they communicated the 'new' subclasses really made it seem like this was an expansion rather than a new title. I would have otherwise expected to see ALL the new subclasses, or even a complete pivot away from the class/sub-class hierarchy.

Battle.Net ... nice

The way they are talking about it, it sounds like its an expansion to Destiny 1 instead of a wholly new title. So does this mean that the existing Destiny gets replaced with this? I'm getting the same vibe from everyone else, though the overall structure of those new areas does seem genuinely...

Having listened to the soundtrack more than a few times while at work it is very interesting the degree to which the entire movie plays out in the songs. Obviously Ego himself makes reference to this, but even more broadly it really does lay out the entire plot nicely. Makes me think that 'Fox...

Well this is clearly the Kelvin timeline given the overall aestethic

http://www.platige.com/en/page/839-The_Witcher_Saga_On_Netflix Interesting direction to take things. Note that this is being executive produced by the guys who are doing 'The Expanse'

I would hope the Suramar design peoples were off building Argus and that's why the quality of the Broken Shore is 'meh'

Salim's story is tragic. He is a stranger in a strange land, he hates everything about it, the touristy crap, the disrespect, and especially his brother-in-law. The Djinn shows him a new path and both benefit from it.

Hmmm they dumped this into a 'midseason' slot at the upfronts. Inhumans will be the Fall series (airing on Friday's after the newly moved Once Upon A Time) In the Tuesday 10pm slot goes "The Gospel of Kevin" which features Jason Ritter touched by an angel.

Where was the marketing for this film? I saw one trailer for it, attached to Guardians. Was not even a one-sheet or standee in the lobby at any point and we go to the movies nearly every week during the winter months. I don't know if they completely flubbed the marketing, realized it was a...
