Shadow King is a major Xmen comic villain, hence the talk about him (especially with the dog that never existed being named 'King'), I also enjoyed the moment when they realize the Benny/Lenny dichotomy and start to put together that David's mind is not the usual sort of place. Well that and...

I've already been called a heretic to my face because of this, but I am actively enjoying this more than Zelda. Granted I admit that I haven't gotten very far in Zelda since after only a couple hours I found myself jonesin to shoot fire arrows into robodinos and switched back to Horizon. What...

More than a little surprised that 1-2 Switch doesn't even have a demo. I would have thought the quirky nature of the game would have meant it would be a default pack-in ala WiiSports, but if not then at least a demo so people can try a couple of the minigames.

I'm not sure if I want to go hunting for a physical cartridge for Zelda or just go with the downloaded version. People seeing plenty of copies of Zelda at places like Target?

Speaking of those military-grade drugs... what are they supposed to be? From the very first episode I have been trying to wrap my brain around what they are meant to do, I mean besides looking like Ketracel White from the Jem Hadar.

I did the first "Cauldron" last night and, as Utnanyan mentioned above, discovered that traps should not be ignored and barely managed to beat the 'boss'. Even though I had taken one of those down previously the confines of the space were a massive handicap. I also, only after the fact...

I'm going to guess Solomon Epstein zipping out of the Solar System at a nice clip is going to be relevant at some point. While part of me thinks it would be cool to just have this mini vignette on the narrative science/engineering, I can't imagine they would have filmed it if it wasn't...

They address the sizing issue in the context of the film.

I do loves me some Mon Mothma. I'm very glad that the animated series and Rogue One have allowed the character to be fleshed out a bit more.-

Saw the film yesterday at an advance screening and John C Reiley gets nearly all the best lines.

I do envy PS4Pro+4K users right now.

I played way more last night than I should have and was thoroughly captivated. The world is open, but not unstructured and I keep finding myself making and revising guesses as to what the fuck is going on in this post-post-post-apocalyptic world. I think the whole medicine pouch thing is...

Am I crazy for thinking Snipperclips is the more interesting title? Especially in the context of a 'be social with friends' machine? Zelda is cool and all, but the whole initial marketing push for the Switch was based around gaming-on-the-go and interacting with humans persons.

Thought I'd check it out a bit after it unlocked at midnight...And now it's 2:30. Im loving the thing so far. Exactly what was advertised in the original promos

:(

Its like a ShadowRun prequel...

I understand part of the logic for having two sets of envelopes, that people can enter from either side of the stage, but it still seems like a rather obvious failure vector. I bet next year they just have one central location where the presenters and/or the minions have to get the envelope...

Watched "Hail Ceasar!" and "Beautiful Creatures" tonight and I'm feeling much better about this film now. Alden Ehrenreich seems to have some pretty solid acting chops.

Again I am not a book reader, but given the dialogue and discussion of "the work" I can only imagine that some interesting shit will now go down on Venus. I suspect the Martian Marine whose character introduction focused on her dream of terraforming Mars is going to be pretty triggered when...

All about the unfolding. While the overall reliability of nearly everything that goes into space is as close to infallible as you can be, there are no guarantees in life especially since the mechanisms in question cannot be tested in a null-gravity environment. Consider this video ...

Non book reader here, but it was pretty clear from the context that this was the end of "book one". I'm annoyed that I haven't been able to get more people watching this damn show.

But... but you can have a handjob minigame! I really had my hopes up for this as a nice hybrid between the genius of the 3DS and the social-fun of playing on the big screen, but it seems as if Nintendo got too cocky after Splatoon.

So 6 possible squadmates this time... Biotic chick, Turian personal shopper, Asari urchin , Zygon from Dr Who, Krogan old dude, and Lucio. I know they have to have a human male and human female for 'romance' reasons, but why couldn't they have had a Salarian? You could be forgiven for not...

If Webb deploys properly I will be completely stunned. I used to work on that project and the thing is pretty much a goddamn Transformer. As far as propulsion systems : yeah anything remotely conventional is not gonna cut it. Best bet is something like an EMDrive that 'violates' physics and...

God damnit. In an ideal world we'd not only be capable of sending long rang probes to something ~ 40 light years away we'd have already chucked a few that direction and have some ready to send along immediately. Oh well. Maybe in another century we'll have developed small scale autonomous AI...

I've been doing the LFR thang and so just yesterday got to encounter the Ellisande fight. I actually laughed out loud at the whole dramatic dialogue absurdity of the setup: Ellisande : "I have seen all possible futures and this is the only path for my people!!" *dies* Ellisande ghost: "Oh I...

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"
