Grrrr. Been holding off on a PS4Pro and 4K TV since, for the most part, there's not much content that takes advantage of it. But with this game and then Mass Effect in a month I may weaken...

This game just makes me scratch my head. When it was first shown off I thought it looked quite ingenious as a fast paced quasi MMO that was simple enough in design they could crank out tons-o-content and pull in cash from regular releases of new classes. Instead they went bonkers with PTW gear...

I am still thoroughly enjoying this show and have resisted temptations to check out the books. I was certainly not anticipating the ending of this week's episode

Why did I look at that Killpoints thing? Talk about depressing.

I have noticed that the actress who plays Alice has definitely been practicing her 'finger tutting' during the production break. In the first season her spell casting was the most subdued of the principal characters and they said in the 'behind-the-scenes' bit that she had the hardest time...

This was posted to Io9 yesterday from an instagram post that was since deleted. These are some damn fugly Klingons...

As to the end of the pilot / premiere

I am cautiously optimistic. I bought into the ideas behind EverQuest Next thoroughly and would like to see even a fraction of them make it into reality.

So being the super nerd that I am I played through the original trilogy again just to set the stage for all of this. I must have been too busy to read some of the Codex entries in the past because I noticed a few things I swear I never saw before... I also cannot bring myself to explore the...

Combat video sent out today. Obviously still more of a mocked-up living storyboard than "in game engine" but an interesting take on the turn-based genre

YAY!!

I knew most of that before from various sources, but it was good to have it all tied together like that. It is very easy to get so caught up in the system of what you are doing and the fear of breaking something that you end up, in fact, breaking it terribly not through action but through inaction.

Is there a reasonably easy way to play this co-op with a buddy? I know there are the Dark Souls like ways of adding people to your 'instance' but it is more than that? I am somewhat intrigued by this, but am looking for something cooperative to do with friends more often than not these days...

Ukerric must have a huge dick if his main entertainment-room TV is 44"... One of my best friends was just bemoaning his choice of a 93" screen for his home theater rather than a 105"

The rounds flying through the ship like it was a tin can riddled with buckshot was fucking amazing. That was without a doubt the most accurate view of what combat in space will truly be like. The caliber of actors they got for this show continues to amaze me. I recognized half of gunny's...

Clone Wars was so good by the end that I would have loved to have seen the result of handing the top level outline of Episode III to Dave Filoni and co and see what they came up with. Not only would the dialogue been a lot better, but the timescale of Episode III would have worked as a series...

That actually sounds like a badass way to use transcendence. (Its one of those abilities I've only ever used when trying to do jumping puzzles even though I know it should be of more utility than I take advantage of)

Curious that they asked him back for another series and he turned it down. Was he just reluctant to go forward with a new producer, or was the on-set relationship with the new chick as bad as some Daily Mirror reports have claimed? I think the Beeb will hold off on the female doctor for...

I get the feeling that Microsoft pulled the plug on ReCore because they felt that it wasn't a competitor for this... but I actually quite liked ReCore and was puzzled why they aborted development of it and shipped out the beta version as-is. Now Microsoft is not known for their good judgement...

Crafted legendaries are a head scratcher. Without any special power of any kind doesn't that just make it a high ilevel item? By the time you have enough skill to make the thing wouldn't you be expected to have already stumbled across a legendary that had stats AND a special power?

So we know we have two humans, an asari and a krogan as possible companions. Looks like the salarian is just the pilot, however the female turian is probably also a companion-type person. That leaves a few spaces for the addition of members of new races that we meet in Andromeda.

Is there anything under active development now? Is there anything that has come out recently that is worth spending time on? Recently started playing Diablo3 again with the peeps and while it is fun there is a desire to try a new MMO...

I really feel like Warner Bros should have locked Bruce Timm and Greg Berlanti in a room with a blank check and let them go to town.

I forgot how much I sorely needed Elliot in my life. I've avoided the books, so I have no idea where this all is going but I am super eager to see where we end up. Is it wrong to root for characters who are so completely and totally fucked up they can't even tell up from down?

We also know

Well the inclusion of Buff McAbertson (or whatever the fuck Jersey Shore dude's name was) gives us some clue

Going back to the Clone Wars series we have the whole sequence with "Father" "Daughter" and "Son" as Force avatars. It was implied there that balance exists and is possible, but that balance is hard. Balance is an unstable equilibrium point at the top of a hill with Jedi on one side and Sith...

It also fits the whole notion that Luke was the first to acknowledge the Light and the Dark within him (an idea strengthened by recent material). He tried to re-launch the Jedi Order only to have that fall back into the Light vs. Dark bit that has been going on for thousands of years and...

Well that's ominous as hell. It does go along with the thought I had pre-TFA that the Force was moving past the whole Jedi/Sith dichotomy

Wait... they moved all the shows to Wednesday? I thought they were all on Friday last year? The again I watch everything OnDemand / DVR so I don't suppose it really matters.

I actually called this early in the season when watching it with people locally. I didn't get a chance to watch until Saturday due to the Boston NBC / Comcast fiasco, but I figured something was up when I got a bunch of "I hate you" text messages last Thursday. That grin of Danson's however...

I wonder how much of this is delays due to the musical chairs production staff not getting the casting / set construction finished vs. being unable to script good stories. This has always felt like a 'sitdram' where they go through all the motions of laying out a complex back story without...

The biggest cop-out, for me, was the Rachni. It felt in Mass Effect that your decision of what to do with the Queen would have pretty significant consequences down the road. It was hinted at again in Mass Effect 2, that the Queen was out there and she was doing her part to be ready for when...

I do concede that the "I have to keep custody of my baby!!" plotline was really dumb. Isn't she supposed to be the chief tactical officer? What exactly was the plan heading into the situation for handling the kid? Presumably the historical record had the kid going somewhere else after his...

It is weird to me that the Diablo anniversary was pushed/celebrated everywhere but Diablo... or rather I would have thought that the Rise of the Necromancer was to be aligned with all the other Diablo-stuff.

Sooo... did Dave Filoni always have in mind a larger story arc for Sabine? I must say that between Clone Wars and Rebels the Mandalorians have really been fleshed out quite a bit. Naturally they distilled what worked from the old Expanded Universe and then replaced what did not, but it would...

Santa Clarita Diet Genre: Comedy First Aired: 2017-02-03 Overview: They're ordinary husband and wife realtors until she undergoes a dramatic change that sends them down a road of death and destruction. In a good way.

Saw the trailer for this. Seems to be a slightly more edgy iZombie, but with Drew Barrymore.

Title: Santa Clarita Diet Genre: Comedy First aired: 2017-02-03 Creator: Victor Fresco Cast: Drew Barrymore, Timothy Olyphant, Liv Hewson, Ricardo Chavira, Skyler Gisondo Overview: They're ordinary husband and wife realtors until she undergoes a dramatic change that sends them...

Finally got around to this and binged the whole thing in a week. The MMA kid does a great job assisted by the fact that he has a raspy voice so it makes it believable that he's pretty freaking old. Of course this is by the same production team that did Stargate so we get to see lots of old...
