    Good Bad Flicks: Exploring Snowpiercer

    I'd go further and say it is "literally" an allegory, in the sense that they're not trying to create a realistic setting in terms of whether or not these people could really survive on a train like this. I think that's a problem a lot of people had with it, since a lot of dystopian-future sci-fi...

    Blizzard is "Exploring Some Options" to Improve Overwatch's Zenyatta

    I don't know why everyone's complaining about his charge attack/alt fire. You can one-shot snipers without using the Orb of Discord, which puts them into scramble mode immediately. You can put most non-tanks into retreat mode by eating 80-90% of their health in one shot. I love Zenyatta, but...

    The Overwatch Team Plans to Look Into Lowering Widowmaker's "Frustration Threshold"

    Zenyatta's damage is crazy, but he really needs good teamwork to be the most effective. A decent Zenyatta can hide behind a shield and take out a Bastion before the shield dies. He can also be a decent counter-sniper if he's shielded.

    Play of the Game

    I get the most plays of the game with Junkrat's ult, which can sometimes require a small bit of skill or risk, like hoping it'll survive long enough to get past a Reinhardt shield, or hoping the other team will stay huddled together even after hearing the ult go off.

    Overwatch's Open Beta Attracted 9.7 Million Players

    It would be interesting to get a breakdown of what percentage of users played 1-3 games before deciding they didn't like it, and how many played a more substantial amount. Also I think your math is off, because each match has 12 players playing. So if you had a group of 12 players that played...

    Why We Need To Recast Indiana Jones

    "He will always be the definitive Indiana Jones like Connery's still the definitive Bond." But Connery isn't the definitive Bond for a majority of the key movie demographic. Hell, I'm 31 and I've never seen a Connery Bond film. To me, Pierce Brosnan is the definitive Bond because of...

    Zero Punctuation: Sunset Overdrive - Trying Too Hard?

    I haven't played the game, but when I heard "4th wall breaking" it sounded like they were maybe trying to piggyback on the latest resurgent Deadpool hype. So I guess my real question is, how do pouches figure into the gameplay in Sunset Overdrive?

    Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Continues to Set Up the Story for Season 2

    It's the first appearance of the actor, but not the character. An episode or two ago you see his hand and it's all gooey with what looks like blood, and someone mentions his daughter, which is implied at the time to be Skye. Yeah I totally got that vibe too, especially in regards to more...

    Are you tired of SJW?

    Here here. I'm tired of the phrase "Social Justice Warrior" because it's a lot like "Feminazi" in that it lets you know pretty quickly that the person using the term is projecting a lot of their own issues into the "discussion". I'm not saying there are no people out there who would...

    Warhammer 40k 7th Edition Review - Through the Grim Darkness

    I was just in a gaming shop yesterday, and the new Codices were fucking $50. No book that fucking size, hardcover or not, is worth that much money. They charge that because you "have" to have it to play. It's amazing how much disrespect the players will tolerate from GW. They're ripping...

    Escapist News Now: Thor Is Now A Girl!

    This is pretty gimmicky and will probably go the way of Thunderstrike, i.e. the real Thor will return after a bit and the lady Thor will be given some knock-off hammer and her own series. I'd rather they just give the Girls of Thunder (Thor's three granddaughters from the far-future) their...

    Jimquisition: Ubisoft - A Sad History of PC Failures

    Thank God for that iconic catchphrase. Although I'd venture to say that your black coat & shirt w/ red tie is as iconic, if not iconicer.

    Warhammer 40,000: Storm of Vengeance Review - Borehammer

    Jimothy also did a Squirty Play of the game on his YouTube channel . It looked pretty fucking dull, even Jim's sultry British accent couldn't liven the mood. The only good thing I can say about this game is that reading about it makes me want to go play some Dawn of War.

    "Marvel Studios: Assembling a Universe" Recap: Let the Bullets Fly

    "This would be The HulkBuster, an Iron Man armor built specifically to fight The Hulk. Apparently the Science Bros. will not be remaining on entirely friendly terms in this one." I think it's more likely that Ultron takes over a couple of Tony's spare suits. This way we can see some cool...

    10 Marvel Characters Who Should Show Up On Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    You're entitled to your opinions, obviously, but you're a little off base in this case. A lot of the "wacky" stuff in P:WZ was taken directly from the comics, specifically the Ennis/War Journal runs IIRC. Those books get a little weird at points. But it's definitely not "an absolute betrayal".
