Christian Bale isn't the best person for the job, more the person who gets the movie funded.... For some reason he's a star despite him being (IMO) a boring blowhard in every scene he's in. The real question Joel Edgerington.... Really? That B-lister Australian? You couldn't have found someone...

Love how pointing out GTA's problematic content instantaneously raises hackles with the reflexively defensive gamers on this site. GTA is problematic. The defense that "it's satire" doesn't really hold water. GTA is satire in the same way that a Wayans movie is satire. Stupid and completely...

???? No. The American government(s) (+ organisations) ARE the ones cannot censor, or, more correctly, "restrict speech". Individuals and organisations can do what they want. If CBS wanted to take the FCC to the Supreme Court so that they could show lady-nipples (which they almost did, but...

Damn kids. The only good girly cocktails are Amaretto Sours and Sunburnt Senoritas. Or if you have to go the blended fruit daquiri route... go mango. Strawberries are for ice cream.

Well.... That was some back-handed praise right there..... At least the premise of this doesn't creep me out as much as 'Taken'. Don't get me wrong; Liam Neeson is a badass. But why not just make him the dad? Why does he need to be borderline stalking his ex-wife?`

And yet there is a lively discussion thread on how "feminists" need to "step off" the hobby of gaming. Freedom of speech is something the US government is Constitutionly bound to afford the media and individuals. It is not a thing that media or individuals are bound to afford each other...

Despite the knee jerk poll response: Yes. Yes it does. Or at least the world depicted in Hitman is extremely hostile to women. And the women are depicted in a objectifying manner. The also hates men though. Vitrually everybody in the Himan universe is a vicious and calculating...

Ehhhh.... You can argue whether the Hitman universe is misogynistic, or simply deeply misanthropic. My position would be it is both. Every character is reprehesible in character whilst dead eyed and sickly in appearance. This is a universe where humanity lacks many redeming features. The...

The real difference is that F:NV has more believable characters and motivations who represent fractions that have goals that are believable. And the choices and consequences actually affect the world. F:3 is goofy nonsense. It's a fun playground but the many of the character motivations and...

I personally annoyed because the last two books were meandering self indulgent garbage where character achieve nothing aside from moving at a snails pace to from locations where they were intersesting to locations where they are only potentially interesting. Did we really need two books for...

That music whose volume is so far in excess of the rest of the audio. While cool does it need to be 30 seconds long? Did it need to be 10 decibels louder than, and drown out, the host introducing himself?

Oh dear.... Carrying water for Ubisoft's inexplicable and discriminatory laziness are we? To those claiming that "It would be too much wooooork. Wah wah!" (Yahtzee included) for Ubisoft to animate female models.... There are animated models.... In the competitive multiplayer...

Well it had to be done otherwise the books and the show would have to diverge quite severely. I think it came as less of a shock in the books because in this was very shortly after the Red Wedding. And since Oberyn wasn't a POV character we don't really know him all that well compared to how...

Maybe if you pointed it at somebody's eye. Or you just wanted to pop a balloon or vapourize a tiny amount of something. Calling a "pulse rifle" is a bit ridiculous. Any energy source compact enough to be portable and energetic enough be able to power a lethal laser would be more...

That was great. No serious. Most I've laughed in quite some time. I don't think i've heard Dead-pan Jim before. He tries sometimes on his podcast but cracks up halfway through when Holmes does the straight-man thing. More please. If it doesn't get old.
