Damn, I missed Folie a Deux. There's so many great episodes. The psychological horror in Folie a Deux is just so nightmare inducing. As Cobain wrote "just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you". Definetely one of the series all time highs. Arcadia is just "ok" in my...

Include me in this minority. The whole alien colonization mythos started off strong, then it got dumber and dumber to the point of ludicrous. Still, the stand alone episodes like Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose, Humbug, Soft Light, El mondo gira, Home, EBE, Jose Chung's From Outer Space...

Actually, I heard both versions, "gambling" (jogos de azar) and "toy" (brinquedos eletrônicos), but never from a reliable, official source. (Unfortunately, I am used to the press printing gross mistakes) I am a lawyer, not a tax man, but "toy" always made more sense to me (since gambling is...

Damn ninja... LOL It is not exactly "gambling" (which, by the way, is illegal in Brazil). "Toy" is more like it. It is a old law made for arcade machines and when owning a Sega GENESIS meant you were mega rich, and could afford a little overtax. I didn't knew that he wanted to tax Steam...

I can answer that. I am Brazilian and have a law degree. First there is the fact that our government is NOTORIOUSLY INCOMPETENT about taxes. See, in the US, when you buy a product, you see $$$ price + $$$ tax. We call this OUTSIDE TAX. What we have in Brazil is INSIDE TAX. We NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH...

Another thing... This adapter uses 2 USB ports?! How exactly am I supposed to use it with my digital purchases?!

It's all fine an dandy an' all, but you guys are forgetting the most important thing: Nintendo hates money. The eShop's Virtual Console service is an unjustifiable joke ("please understand") on both Wii U and 3DS. Both tha home console and portable are native backwards compatible. Nintendo...

You wasn't disappointed by Inland Empire? I saw it on a pratically empty movie theater and it was probably the scariest 3 and a half hours of my life... But its not a good movie, and I couldn't get it (though I tried). I had no problem understanding his other (great) movies, even Lost Highway...

I loved the ambigous ending of the series (and Fire Walk With Me), so I think I should be afraid of them revealing too much. Buuuut, on the other hand, it is David Lynch we're talking about here. So tying up loose ends isn't probably what he has in mind. Perhaps we are coming back because the...

To quote Mr. Bongiovi "Is there a doctor in the house?" The game is a lot of fun, as I have come to expect from Nintendo's first party efforts. I was more of a Sony man the previous 2 gens (that being PS2, PS3 and PSP), even though I owned both a NGC and a Wii along the way. But Sony lost me...

Very good article BUT I can't stand people calling Fight Club's protagonist as "Jack". He is NOT called Jack. He is only referred to as Narrator in the credits, and he is never called anything but Tyler Durden in both the book and the movie. The misconception of him being called Jack comes from...

Even though Playstation Home is not really my sort of thing (virtual game-like environments without a real objective, lack of progression and goals always feels like time sinks to me and gives me a sensation of wasting my life that I don?t get from fun gameplay experiences) I have to agree with...

What I want to know is when are they'll publish the compilations with Moore and Gaiman's run on the character? You know what? Scratch that... I got tired of all the litigation surrounding it and now Marvel's good will to release it and downloaded it for my iPad. Might as well just read the...

Yeah, I see what you did there. And I liked it very much. Take a cookie.

This episode reminded me of Rubber, a film that I didn?t watch, but heard about. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1612774/ It is about, I kid you not, a killing tire. Yeah, a common rubber tire, from a car. Anyone watched it? Is it any good, or just another "emulating a bad movie" that...
