    Iron Man 3 [Spoilers Everywhere]

    Here's some:http://marvelsuperheroes.lego.com/en...=ironman#76008 Probably depends how much of that is based off the movie and how much is just 'lets make up shit to build a playset around'

    Boston Marathon Explosion - Today's Topics: Public Schools

    Some replies on Twitter suggesting that was just a witness before being cleared. But it's on CNN so it's true, right?

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

    I'm all for options and convenience. We already have Windows 8, both on our PCs and a tablet. PC sales down or not the OS and other compatible devices will grow by the millions if not tens of millions every year over the life of the console. As I posted before already more than 10% of Steam...

    Heroes - Returning via Xbox/MSN?

    As the original went further down the rabbit hole it lost me, but would be interested in a new cast and ideas brought to the show. I know we'd talke about on FOH rebooting the cast every season too, or maybe that was one of the premises of the series before the characters got so popular and was...

    R.I.P.D Rest In Peace Department

    Maybe it's just because there are a handful of movies I'm looking forward to and probably won't find the time to go see all of them, but this movie has the feel of something that I will see on Starz next spring and not even realize it was ever in theaters because it did so poorly. Some things I...

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

    Stuff from an 'anon insider'http://www.vgleaks.com/rumor-durango...-pastebin-doc/ tl;dr: Durango may have a 360 SOC, run any app in the Windows 8 store, OS is a version of (or IS) WinRT and anyone who pays the $60 license fee for the Windows Store can publish apps/games. A lot of this was...

    Desktop Computers

    I've kinda ignored a lot of the discussion around 'tablets and mobile eating into PC share, etc' and then realized I was part of the crowd doing that as I packed my Windows 8 tablet and 360 controller on vacation week before last. Was able to comfortably play NBA2k13 in the airport on it when...

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

    That was a MS Research proof-of-concept, I'm not expecting that to be part of the next Xbox as much as I'd love for that to be the case. If a framework or something was available to consumers and developers allowing for that kind of development with the hardware, even better.

    Kudos EA - Worst Company in America two years running

    It was off of Amazon for less than a day (just that afternoon) as the digital copy went from limited to standard. Hardly time for EA to 'figure out their shit'. Pretty sure the warning was up just prior too. You can link to hundreds of articles making the same headlines, I am sure everyone...

    Kudos EA - Worst Company in America two years running

    Amazon never really pulled the game, it just wasn't available to purchase for a bit when it flipped from the digital limited edition to the standard. It also has been number 1 on Amazon ever since until some deals this week. Maxis said they made the game, got no forced design guidance from...

    We don't play a ton of games anymore outside of our PCs anymore and me playing some of the annual sports releases, so rumors of the next Xbox having HDMI passthrough like my GoogleTV had before I threw it in a drawer for being so god awful slow is the most interesting feature I've seen...

    Comic Books

    There was way too much destroyed in the very first page or two, it distracts from the story when you spend half the time wondering which way they'll go about undoing it. Still annoyed Age of X turned out the way it did.

    Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3)

    I expect they're being mum about next gen releases until after the next gen XBox presser where they'll probably show their entire slate for MS and then afterwards confirm which are coming to PS4 also, including this title. I'm not a big PVP/multiplayer guy, I've enjoyed the stories in several...

    3d Printing and the Future of Piracy

    I see a lot of this stuff at work. Some current and former employees got together with a few others and opened a maker space (https://synshop.org/SYN Shop) downtown. Best analogy I've ready about how to explain it to people is that it's like having a gym membership your brain. Has 3D...

    Neverwinter: PC

    Played this a little this weekend, guardian to 10, overall seems OK. Same level of interest as a few of these upcoming MMOs for the most part, just enough to get me to try betas and install any F2P clients once they're released for gaming ADD reasons.

    Star Trek Online

    I had problems with my accounts too. I got a 'user banned' message during the migration to PW from Cryptic. Didn't bother to try and get that resolved since I could still log into STO (put in my quarterly appearance for all of 30 minutes as a lifetime sucker). Neverwinter beta rolls around...

    It is Angela, from Image. Her introduction to Marvel is more like the after credits scenes in the movies and shes going to appear in a number of books over the next year. Other announced appearance is Guardians of the Galaxy #5.

    Comic Books

    One site pointed out that a couple of years ago Marvel got the rights to Marvelman / Miracleman and that maybe he could be involved. Either way, this rumor has me more interested in the story than the first 2 issues did. I told Bendis on Twitter my thought of this all being undone and just...

    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    I don't think delivering a forcible blow with the crown of the helmet is a very tough judgement call to make. The rule to me is reasonable, just provides that protection to all players outside the tackle box rather than just a defenseless receiver and the quarterback. Owner meetings start...

    Whatever it is I think it's all a convenient device to set up the Henry Pym of the cinematic universe. I'm not a fan of #1 and #2 at all, I'm not sure I'm even going to buy the rest (though I will anyways out of habit or some OCD 'i have the first two' compulsion). Every panel Ultron/Ultrons...

    SimCity

    I wonder what we'll see for expansion/DLC/etc... I expect a crazy amount of incremental upgrades, but I wonder if I'll be able to upgrade a 3-town region to a 5 or 10. Or how about a region that starts as 3, and as you hit milestones more claimable cities and great work spaces become available...

    SimCity

    I've played almost 20 hours the first 3 days, some people in this thread probably far exceed that. Contrary to the headlines, not being able to connect/play has been the exception not the rule. Places like Kotaku were posting 'SimCity down again' when they were bringing it down (for all of 10...

    I've played 18 hours since release, 4 of them tonight pretty much error free. Seem to get a pass through the queue much of the time if you are just re-logging, which is nice. Can only wonder how much further along my city would be if I was playing on Cheetah still.

    I think a lot of the problems have been server-specific, I've been bouncing between East and West to play w/ friends who have regions on different servers... as Kotaku is posting their emo 'looks like you won't be playing SimCity on release day' articles pandering to the anti-DRM/anti-EA crowd...

    Justice League of America

    It's probably the worst news I've heard about this movie since the release date. If they're letting Nolan run the DC cinematic universe they need to let him push back JLA a few years and follow the template Marvel laid out or they've got a good shot and just flushing hundreds of millions down...

    I just logged out after playing the last 4 or so hours without few if any problems. The server even went down for a few and it let me continue and re-connected. Early on I did have a crash to desktop, I lost maybe 10 minutes worth of OCDing oil derek placement.
