    Powers

    Sharlto Copley IS a scrawny dude, just one with nice definition. His overall look as sort of a post-modern ichabod crane was a little offputting at first since I always saw Walker as a very square jawed Clark Kent sort of character if Clark lost his powers and became something of an alcoholic...

    Shadowrun Returns

    It was apparently sent to game stores as part of a promotional package along with the glossy preview adventure (which I did get) and posters. It was also apparently playing in a loop at the FASA booth at GenCon that year. I'll be honest, it took me a few attempts to make it through that...

    Shadowrun Returns

    Here's something I never actually saw back in 1990... probably a good thing since I would have not played the game if I had.

    The Flash

    We can only hope that as a direct result of Tom Cavanaugh and his time travel plotline that we get some Rip Hunter and Booster Gold action.

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I must be weird because I have zero interest in Bloodborne. Possibly it is because I've always been much more of a wizardy type in RPGs and have thus really not gotten much into Dark Souls / Witcher style games.

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

    I'm just thinking "poor Drea deMateo ". She went from Emmy performances to playing this sad sack. if they just had her nails be razor sharp then maybe the finger steel makes sense...but as it was I immediately thought "why not rip those out..."

    Arrow

    Malcolm is getting really good at healing... We finally have our first taste of real supernatural stuff in the Arrowverse but beyond that much of this episode seemed to set the stage for the endgame of the season. However seeing Thea and Roy together makes me even more worried that Roy is...

    The Flash

    It does look like he ends up back at the start of the episode, and furthermore next week seems much more about the return of Captain Cold and Heatwave so I'm guessing with his knowledge of the alternate timeline they handle the new Weather Wizard pretty snappily and then carene onto a whole...

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

    Note that "Real Shield" has a much more militaristic logo with a medieval style shield and a couple of stars vs. the "Coulson Shield" which still uses the eagle-in-flight logo. Well that and Edward James Olmos is the head of "Real Shield" and Commander Adama doesn't exactly exude 'chummy'

    Well the original short was creative and very entertaining. This is terrible

    Powers

    Amusing that the dampener has a kryptonite green glow. One might think the existence of such a thing would have serious repercussions worldwide as people have a way to "fight back" and also a cue to a common origin for the Powers.

    Dreadnought

    I spent some time at PAX East watching people play this and being very intrigued. I had not heard a peep about this game until I got to the show but was drawn in by imagery of huge capital ships duking it out. Was also interested since they are also done by the Grey Goo people (which I thought...

    The Flash

    Im guessing we have more Firestorm stuff coming later this year since Robbie Amell has very notably NOT signed on for the spinoff team-up show and yet Victor Garber has. When quizzed about this the showrunners said (paraphrasing here) 'yeah there is a reason Robbie Amell isn't on the cast, but...

    Powers

    Episode 4 is pretty good. They do seem to be going somewhere with the plot. I also quite like the medical examiner guy who rants about how physics doesn't work with Powers and how angry it makes him. It would certainly be a frustrating situation to be in...

    Danger 5

    The second season is now on Netflix and even more bonkers than the first. Holy cow I hope they continue and charge straight into 90s grunge angst and alternative music. Pierre better be Asian next!

    Star Wars Rebels

    Well all of the prequel stuff causes problems with the Original Trilogy because so much of the storyline and setting no longer makes sense with the overall dramatic escalation that takes place. The battle of the First Death Star involves 30 X-wings and Y-wings which sounded kinda cool in 1977...

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    Ghostbusters 2 is really a travesty, especially as it came after the very successful animated series (with JMS of Babylon-5, Spiderman comics etc. as script editor). The whole notion that after Gozer vanished there was no more ghosts was in direct contrast to the rich stories being played out...

    Cities: Skylines

    Why, oh god, why is there NO autosave feature?? I was actually doing pretty good about keeping my game saved before making any big changes to the landscape in case I fucked up but then I went like 90 minutes without making any big changes and my computer promptly rebooted for a Windows Update...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I was typing up some thoughts on PAX East and how the show this year seemed 'lessened' compared to previous years and was looking through the stuff I had gathered at the previous two years worth of shows and suddenly realized that Wildstar existed. I had actually completely forgotten about this...

    Arrow

    I mean they might kill Roy to open up a sidekick slot for Thea who would then become Speedy.

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

    Well they used S.W.O.R.D. in the Avenger's Earth's Mightiest Heroes the animated series from 2010. Also note that the use of S.W.O.R.D. in that series involved Mockingbird AKA Bobbi Morse.

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

    We have a little under half the season left thanks to the 8 episode Agent Carter break in the winter. This means that they can use the time to move forward the Inhumans storyline as well as set the stage for Avengers. Given that the finale will take place only a couple weeks after the movie...

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

    Wow so everyone hates muta.. I mean Inhumans. To be fair though the Kree guy seemed like an outcast himself who was trying to keep knowledge of the Inhumans away from the rest of the Kree empire. Worth noting also that Coulson and company seem to think you need the city under Puerto Rico to...

    Ascension

    Welp SyFy killed this as a potential series. I guess they feel their slate of other shows are strong enough that they didn't need to pick up Ascension. I think ultimately it was trying to do too many things and failed at doing any of them particularly well.

    Powers

    Thanks for merging the threads. I searched for the original one but came up with zero hits proving once again that the vb4 search function is just terrible. Episode 2 was the highlight so far, I liked where they were going by the end of that episode (first one following the original pilot) but...

    Powers

    Above is just the trailer, but I think anyone can see episode 1 but you need to be PlayStation+ for anything beyond that first episode. Although why anyone would have a PS4 without PS+ is beyond me. All the multiplayer requires it and they give you free games each month including some of the...

    Powers

    So today the first three episodes of Powers unlock and then another episode comes every Tuesday for the rest of the season. This is a slight variation on what Netflix does with their binge-watch from day one scenario, but at least they put enough content out initially so you can get a feel for...

    The Flash

    So very awesome that they are using images from his scenes on the 90s Flash to show what happened 20 years ago.

    I'm going to be very annoyed if they kill off Roy so that Thea can become Speedy.

    The Fast Food Thread

    Mother of God what have they done to the McDonald's menu board? I was driving through a distant suburb the other day and decided I wanted some fries so I swung into a newish looking MikeyDs. The menu board was almost incomprehensible with some bastard hybrid of Extra Value Meals (still with...

    Avengers: Age of Ultron

    Yeah as much as it makes sense for Widow to be the one to die (she has no announced solo movie) I really don't see them offing what was the only female Avenger and is still just one of two with Scarlet Witch being added.

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

    I'm guessing Mockingbird is working for Fury in his new capacity of whatever. Probably forming S.W.O.R.D. Interesting how quickly they go from super power fanboys to "we hate muta...I mean Inhumans". I'm not convinced that the blind guy is actually Reader since we've only seen him teleport...

    Star Wars Rebels

    Yeah the season was very slow, almost glacial in fact. The entirety of the plot focused on a single planet whereas we were used to lots of face paced switches from front to front during the Clone Wars. I will say that they spent their time on character development and seem to have done a...

    Gotham

    I cant believe that Jeffrey Combs wasn't actually Dollmaker. I figured he was just teasing about being the administrator... Why you would have Jeffrey Combs on your show and then sacrifice him the next episode is just head scratching.

    Jupiter Ascending (2015)

    I saw it this weekend and I was entertained. The movie had some big pacing issues, notably among the repeating theme of Jupiter getting kidnapped by one of her space relatives but I did like the style elements and the root story concept of immortality resulting from using humans as a cash crop...

    What color is this dress

    It is kinda cool how this picture has turned into an accidental color bias example. Even looking at the picture of the dress in proper lighting where it is clearly blue and black does not help me see the photo as anything but white and gold (or very pale blue and brownish)

    Arrow

    Well since we know that the Lazarus Pits do exist in the Arrowverse I suppose Nyssa could go do something crazy and revive Sarah who then takes on a new identity... I mean if you have her in the same universe it would be very odd to be a different character. As far as names go they have a lot...
