    Escape to the Movies: Prometheus

    I don't get how bob starts the review suggesting that it might be a victim of overhyped expectations as it is merely a good movie without major flaws. He then spends the next four minutes talking about major flaws. The fact that the script seems like it went through a rewrite at some point...

    Escape to the Movies: Sucker Punch

    I was gonna see this as Zack Snyder has already earned my next 10 bucks after 300 and watchmen. Knowing it might be better than the 28% on rotten tomatoes is encouraging. As to the WonderWoman shot, the problem isn't the costume so much as that it looks she couldn't fight her way out of a...

    Shamus Plays: WoW #15: The Final Quest

    Awesome series Shamus. As with all your work I am sorry to see it end (but I am also happy you keep the finite rather than make them run forever and losing their potency). Actually, its MMOs that do that. Let's Play is merely chronically the inevitable.

    Escape to the Movies: The Rite

    Nice review Bob. I was hoping this could be good with the cast that they have. I should add that I'm pretty certain Elijah Wood was not born today. Unless you know something about time travel of which I am unaware :).

    The Big Picture: Fair Game

    What I learned from this: 1. Bob must hang out in some pretty stupid places on the internet if his critique is valid. The claims seem way over exaggerated and certainly does not represent my experience (including this site). 2. The escapist should rename this series to the "The Insignificant...

    The Big Picture: Feeding Edge

    While I agree with the premise that fear of GMO food is overblown, this video was so full of poor logic and half truths that it does a disservice to the argument. Selective breeding and modern genetic manipulation may both be "genetic engineering" but that does make them the same. Just as...

    Neverwinter Attempts To Recreate D&D

    you missed the multiplayer : "online multiplayer game". The only word they are dropping is massively. but you can still run into all the other players in town. But don't call it massive. Of course they realized. They are taking seriously the fact that Atari granted exclusive rights to...

    Zero Punctuation: Viewer's Choice: Duke Nukem Forever

    complaining that its a review of a game that doesn't exist is missing the point. It's a review of game industry hype and its fans and the idiots that poor money into the machine. The fact that he used a non-existent game as his device, makes the review no less important his other best...

    The Movie Nerd Bible: Part II

    I must admit I don't know what you are trying to do with this list. If its just an eclectic collection of movies that Nerds might like, you succeeded but if you are actually trying to say something, I am at a loss as to what that might be. If you are trying to say that these movies...

    Game Stash: Microsoft?s Missed Opportunity

    I think there is a conflict of interest for MS in supporting games on the PC vs XBox. I think some of the issues we see with them releasing on XBox vs PC is a result of this conflict. Additionally, there is a risk of conflict between games that MS makes vs other companies. Microsoft would...

    Game Stash: Microsoft?s Missed Opportunity

    I really don't get this argument. I don't want Microsoft to make games. At all. I just want them to provide a decent OS that allows real gaming companies to provide kick ass games. I don't want Microsoft thinking they need to compete with those companies and thus manipulating the...

    An Open Letter to the Producers of James Bond

    I don't like this article MB. While you raise some valid points, your one-sided criticism seems to open the door for a return to the silly excess of movies such as Moonraker, Spy who Loved Me or Die Another Day. While gadgets and witty retorts are fun, the worst bonds were where they...

    Please, Film These Games!

    Wow, most of those choices seem like a teenage fanboy wishes and not a reasonable idea for a film from someone who appreciates film as its own art form. I mean, Mario, Street Fighter, Mortal Combat, Mega Man? What could a movie do with those that is really better than just playing the game...
