    Scooby-Doo is Getting Official LEGO Sets This Summer

    I think I've seen about 5 minutes of that show. I find Scooby Doo episodes older than me to be much better than those younger than me.

    Scooby-Doo is Getting Official LEGO Sets This Summer

    I'm not the only one that finds the word 'lore' being used in relation to Scooby Doo funny, right? With all these new licensed sets, I imagine Lego as sort of the Disney of construction toys; They have their hands in a little bit of everything.

    Sid Meier Brings Us Farther into Space in Strategy Game Starships

    Looking at that last screenshot, this looks a bit like Final Frontier, just a full paid game. If that's the case, this better cost $10. Final Fontier was a bit lacking in content, as is Beyond Earth.

    Blizzard is Sending Badass Orc Statues to 10-Year WoW Veterans - Update

    All those sales on Ebay must be the Alliance players...

    The Green Bay Packers Are "Addicted" To Settlers of Catan

    I desperately want to play this game, but I've never been able to. And now to find out that there's an NFL team that plays it... If someone can do this, and get it on TV...

    Shadowrun: Hong Kong cRPG Tears Through Kickstarter Goal In Hours

    Initially I thought that the amount of money they were asking for to release the stretch goals was a little much ($50k is a good half year's paycheck), then I remembered physical backer rewards... I'm really looking forward to what they release as stretch goals if they get more than $700k...

    SMITE Brings 3rd Largest Prize Pool to World Championship

    I wonder if Riot will try this with LoL. Valve has had amazing success doing this with DotA (they hold the #1 and #2 slots, with #1 being nearly $11mil), and while I don't play League, it'd be interesting to see what they can do with this type of crowdsourcing.

    Escape to the Movies: Taken 3 - The One Where Liam Neeson Beats People Up

    Taken 3 was not as good as Taken 2, which was not as good as Taken. It didn't seem to fit well as a sequel to 2, it contained a number of instances which brought me out of my suspension of disbelief, and it didn't have the singular drive that the first (and even second) film did propelling you...

    Peggy Carter's Back (And Throwing Punches) in Agent Carter

    Nice seeing something with a relevant presentation of feminism, rather than the third wave nonsense we deal with nowadays. It was a little heavy handed, but when you're establishing characters, setting, and theme, It's to be expected. I was quite thrilled to see Jarvis pop up in this, and I...

    Apple Doesn't Fall Far in Disney's Descendants Teaser

    To be fair, none of these 'Disney Properties' were made by Disney, but are rather adaptations of tales (sometimes) hundreds of years older. This seems like it'll be no better than any of the other garbage on the Disney Channel, but don't forget that the 'Classic' disney moves aren't original either.

    LoadingReadyRun: The LoadingReadyRumble 2

    NOOO! JOHNNY! (At least Andy lived though) Only 6? Man, I'd really like to see at least 12-24... but I don't have the bribe money.

    What Just Happened on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.?

    Coulson died too, and he has his own show now... But I see your point considering trip literally disintegrated.

    LoadingReadyRun: No Laughing Matter

    I am disappointed LRR, that should have been a full on 30+ minute Christmas special. Actually, why don't you guys do "A Christmas Carol?" I think Andy would make a great "Ghost of Christmas Past" (or present [or future {or any role really...}])

    StarCraft 2 Tournament Boots Player for Rape Comment

    Framing this as "Just another way the eSports community pushes women away" is stupid editorializing. His behavior was unprofessional and caddish, but making a bigger deal out of it because it was in reference to a woman is simply another form of sexism.

    Logitech G910 Orion Spark Review - Mechanical Happiness

    There's a link error in the second paragraph. It should read: I found it odd that you mentioned attacking demons in Civ, unless you were referring to FFH (A mod for Civ IV that's way better than Civ V+Expansions)
