    Jimquisition: When The Starscreams Kill Used Games

    Mine was Tomb Raider (2013) last week. Liked it so much I bought it after returning it. I rent dozen or so games every year. How I make decision on many purchases. I would argue renting and/or borrowing games has made me spend significantly more than I would otherwise. I do not like taking a...

    Escape to the Movies: Iron Man 3

    Some teenagers spoiled it for my group when we were waiting to get into the show. Reaction was split on the film, the non comic members loved it and the hardcore Iron Man hated it and the big twist. To me, it was right in the same solid level it seems all of these recent Marvel films are at...

    The Big Picture: The Boot, Part Two

    Yeah, I did a Harry Potter marathon just a few months ago. Star Wars? Maybe the original trilogy years ago. I think Bob is making the mistake of his own generation and experience extrapolated to everyone.

    The Big Picture: The Boot, Part Two

    Who would play Avon? Also, while there were some awesome episodes with the final one being amazing, there were some...less than awesome ones as well. I think a reboot would be great actually. As long as the English sensibilities were kept intact. On the video, I loathe the Goonies so...

    Unskippable: DmC: Devil May Cry

    I am rooting for the limbo demon thing in this one.

    Miracle of Sound: Half Man's Song (Game of Thrones)

    Also, the line "cruel tricks of romance" hit home to me and the character. In his past how his heart has been the play thing of others and why, in part, he carries his cynical view.

    Miracle of Sound: Half Man's Song (Game of Thrones)

    Also, he has no imagery from the show of the toll of Winter on the land. Winter shapes Westeros, especially in the North (hence "Winter is Coming"). It is a time of lean and death and speaks to the coming darkness that is built from book one up to book six "The Winds of Winter" so to me it is...

    Escape to the Movies: G.I. Joe: Retaliation

    I actually agree with bob on this one. I thought the first was average and that this was too. Just forgettable action films, with the first being bit obnoxious and this one being a bit dull. I also like how the deaths of MILLIONS of people in the climax is papered over with "and the world...

    The Big Picture: A Disturbance In The Force

    I like Whedon, and I liked The Avengers, but it was a safer work by him. I didn't see a film that took any chances or challenged me, I saw a big fun summer blockbuster. I do not see how that could be held up as an ideal when it is what is being bemoaned for the whole video. Honestly, Nolan's...

    The Big Picture: Stuperior

    I think some of us place more importance on stories than the companies and writers that make them. For some of us once this becomes apparent me either give up on an industry or become apathetic to its trends.

    Escape to the Movies: Alex Cross

    I would be surprised to meet anyone excited to see this. It looks like direct to DVD type action junk.

    The Big Picture: Schlocktober 2012: Orca

    If only Melville have managed to pen Moby Dick 2!

    Fable: The Journey Review

    Nothing else really matters if the game itself is such an unpleasant experience. Nothing about this game looks remotely enjoyable.

    The Big Picture: You Are Wrong About Sucker Punch, Part One

    I was actually introduced to this by my girl friend who is a huge fan of it. We watched the Blu-Ray Director's Cut and I enjoyed it. Liked the action, the characters, the story and themes and felt like I "got" everything discussed thus far. Had no idea this was hated so much to be honest...

    No Right Answer: Most Disappointing Television Channel

    I think the single biggest letdown of a channel has to be G4. This station does not even try, and has not for years. Back when TechTV was still around there was a solid small collection of shows (of them, only Extended Play or X-Play survived). Every single time I go to my friend who has...
