Iron Fist was considered problematic simply because he wasn't asian and yet was made to cash in on the kung-fu craze of the 70s in the same way that Power Man (Luke Cage) was to address blacksploitation films. Iron Fist doesn't need to have his costume off to show off his chest...

Indigo was something created for the Roy Harper version of the Outsiders which ran parallel to the 2003 Teen Titans reboot headed by Geoff Johns. From the future sent back to kill Donna Troy with a "good guy" Trojan horse program that was her personality after Roy 'fixed' her but which was...

I think it was the terrible geography more than the lack of flying that annoyed me on WoD launch. Pandaria was actually better suited to no-flying because the layout and overall topography made sense and you could easily move from one zone to the next overland following logical paths. WoD, on...

That is very nearly a hipster Avatar. The only thing missing is a vinyl record and a PBR. I do wonder if the Knights of Ren are purely something that Kylo Ren made up as part of his emo rebellious youth, or if they tie into something more ancient. Since his given name is Ben I could see him...

Well I suppose Supes could put his fist through some civilians or maybe Wonder Woman has a wardrobe malfunction.

Great. You just ruined the first expansion! I actually do wonder about the storyline aspect of all of this, because it IS a Tom Clancy property and so even Bond Villain is a stretch for that sub-genre and I wonder just how much can be done with government agents wandering around with a...

Looks like they are literally flying north since the next episode seems to take place at some sort of arctic magic retreat complete with nutcase. The actors all seem to be on board with the complex hand movements, the stuff Julia was doing seemed like it would have take a lot of practice to...

Two episodes tonight but the finale isn't until next week

When I first saw the trailers for this I thought : "Oh christ...Vampire Diaries with magic", but I am very impressed with it. Especially because the main character is so incredibly flawed...hell all of them are very realistic complete fuck-ups but in a way that is rather believable.

Watched the second episode last night. That is a turn I was not expecting, although it should have been obvious that something of that nature was going to occur.

It seems that by not having limits on heroes in a given match that it will have the eventual effect of making all the characters bland. There are essentially two ways you can avoid the stacked character syndrome without limits 1) Make it so that each character is more-or-less balanced...

One thing that strikes me about Episode VII --> VIII is that always before the 'expanded universe' could fill the gaps between movies with whatever they wanted with the knowledge that most of it would be retconned out of existence. Marvel had their Star Wars comic book which rapidly went into...

Played some of this again this past weekend since I finished other games and am waiting for the Spring releases. I find it genuinely more entertaining on the Xbox than I did on the PC simply because certain aspects of the game really lend themselves to a console type controller. The whole...

I watched this weekend. Its a pretty good miniseries although it does over dramatize some aspects of the overall story. One of the chief issues that they never address in the series is that Germany really had no prayer of developing an atomic bomb with the resources they had. Some have...

This is a game to play with friends either PVE or PVP. I met up with some decent PUG folk in the last Beta weekend and had some fun, but realistically you should only be going into this if you have a couple of friends to play with.

Well he did mention having taken a nap in that very office so perhaps mumbo jumbo sympathetic magic / known location / left behind a focus / etc. Yeah it is a major major stretch, but that is always a problem with comic book villainy : how to make the bad guy badass without making the defeat...

My guess is that they are doing craz-ay balance swings during this Open Beta to gather data on different use cases. Mostly the Open Beta is for marketing and network testing, but there's no reason the game design team can't get some useful stuff out of it too.

Since each story mission is a "dungeon" which presumably has a level 30 difficulty in addition to normal and hard there would seem to be a decent chance of having group content other than Dark Zone to do with your pals at level 30. The much reduced size of the overall sandbox means that there...

Damn damn damn I love this show. The cast are all top notch.

I watched this last night and was impressed with it. I haven't read the book it is based on,but the length of it seems suited to the miniseries format. I actually like that they are releasing one episode a week because it allows time to talk about it with people vs having to hide until you...

Games Workshop stuff always seemed more advanced than me, like me and my friends were simply not worthy of gaming in a universe with such detailed imagery and crazy shoulder pads. I remember playing D&D or Palladium or Champions or one of a dozen other role playing games and thinking "maybe we...

I really enjoyed Mistweaver Monk in MoP, not because of the overpowered orb craziness but because the overall flow of channeling mists and then using Chi was a very fun cycle that felt much more organic than other healer classes, especially with the low global cooldown. Since that point they...

I don't think they had enough writers lined up for this. Every episode feels like someone just took the show Bible and came up with their own standalone that uses the same beats.

Apparently the ratings are really bad this season, so I very much doubt we will see a season 3. Shame as I consider Agent Carter to be a damn good action comedy period piece.

I think I'd rather have an Earth 2 Justice Society show than Legends of Tomorrow at this point. Good to see that Cisco is going to be getting a powerup out of all of this though

Still nothing official about an Open Beta? People were quizzing me yesterday about it and wanting to leave Destiny behind (yeah some still play) so an Open Beta might bring in more sales of those hardcore casuals (go all in but do not typically follow game development)

TheExpansecame up at the SuperBowl festivities yesterday. Those of us who had watched it were praising it's virtues to those who had not...all of which had simply not heard of it. Of those that did watch I was the only one to have done so via TV including DVR

I spent the whole episode expecting them to kill Roy...

I honestly didn't even realize there were 'factions' until I saw that posting. I figured there had to be some sort of overall plot to the thing, but it just seemed like a bunch of gang bangers with automatic weapons rampaging around.

Thank god we get Killer Frost next episode. They need to give Caitlin more to do than pine away for Jay Garrick

I have this feeling that we are meant to believe that Wally will get a blast of Speed Force, but I have this feeling that the person who gets it is Jesse and ends up as Jesse Quick.

"Felicity Smoak" "What is wrong with you people, this isn't friendship"

That was freaking intense. Ive never seen anything like it before, essentially a stage play set on the very day it was released and dealing with an incredibly fucked up yet surprisingly real family who just so happens to be made up of acting heavy-hitters

On both the PS4 and the Xbone the icon tooltips are too damn small / indistinct. Especially with respect to the directional pad and things like R3.

I actually like the super power fight Choreography used here. It lacks in the traditional Arrow style martial arts elegance, but they do a good job of a "splash page" where you see all of them blasting away with the various powers etc.

After they made a big deal about Hawkgirl being in Legends and only much much later mentioned Hawkman I figured he wasn't long for this world. I think they would be much better with just having Captain Cold, Heatwave, White Canary, Atom and Professor Stein plus random guest hero from the...

The ratings for this show are a crime. I feel that there's either a ton of people watching this online, or there will be people in a few years going "damn that was good... why didnt they make more than two seasons??"

I feel bad for Waller...executed to keep the movies sacred

Xbone version is the same as the alpha,although I don't recall making an upgrade to the medical wing to unlock the skill perks before nor do I recall being able to use the consumables as opposed to giving them to needy people. Some of the tooltips are wonky as it has the X button instead of...

Got my Beta Xbone code in the mail to start preloading this AM. Was already pretty far along before I left for work so everything should be all loaded up for most people ahead of Thursday
