Well, I've already been semi-scooped on this post, but as the earlier posters took a more terse approach, I feel I can get away with being more verbose. The Uncharted movie, as described by David O. Russell, is a Lovejoy-style (as in the novels by Johnathan Gash*) crime/suspense thriller set...

And the reason for making a superhero movie contain less superheroics is why? That is, short of "We didn't have the budget for superheroics so we downplayed them as much as possible and hoped nobody noticed."

Jesus. I hope Krampus pays the bastard a visit for Christmas.

Now that bit I do know - my main confusion was on the state of the video game rights for the various former FASA properties - Earthdawn, Shadowrun, Battletech, etc.

Well, TSR was never really a PC or Console game developer. Instead other companies licensed their work, like SSI, Interplay, and Capcom. Now, RPG publisher FASA did build their own Game development studio, FASA Interactive, which was later absorbed by Microsoft. From what I understand, a lot...

Quoted For Truth. I have a sneaking hunch that whoever approved this didn't run it past legal first. This is almost like stealing someone's car, pleading not guilty (and getting out on bail), and when the day of the trial comes, driving to the courthouse in the stolen car. If this doesn't...

Well, from what I know about the whole "analyst" thing - we are not Pachter's target audience in any way shape or form - unless for some reason we ran one of those big trading firms which, essentially, exists to own stock in a bunch of other companies. Being an Industry Analyst (be it the game...

I suspect it was more to keep them from taking people with them, but your comment still applies. Corporate management is not the most logical thing in the world.

Nahh. It's more like they're being aggressive about cleaning people's offices out for them. Specifically, they're probably seizing (in addition to proprietary corporate documents), any documents that they could vaguely describe as "proprietary", any doodles or writing that could be described as...

I know you don't like MMORPGs very much, Yahtzee, but you might find Star Trek online to be a little more to your taste than EVE Online was - you can progress just fine going solo, but if you do join up with a group, the gameplay scales pretty well too. More importantly to your article today -...

Pretty much, though Chronicles of the Heroic Knight re-does the ending somewhat. Though, from what I've heard, the Chronicles of the Heroic Knight hews closer to the novels than the first anime series. Not that it's the series fault - you only get so much length in an OVA.

Oh, and by the way - for those who are planning on picking this up on DVD based on this review (and I do recommend getting it, and skipping the dub), this is out-of-print. Central Park Media/US Manga Corps had the licence to the series, but let it go out of print (along with everything else...

I loved the story of The Darkness, particularly since I'd read some of the comic beforehand. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get very far in the game, because the game made me motion sick. If I could find a good video Let's Play of the game, I'd gladly watch that so I could properly take in the...

I've noticed that most Onmyoji series either are required to turn dark and stay that way (like this show does), or be dark all the way through (like Doomed Megalopolis, Tokyo Babylon and it's sequel/spinoff X/1999).

This article reminded me of some of Hunter S. Thompson's articles in a good way. (As opposed to being in a bad way - if it was like some of Thomsons later articles, such as when he skipped out on going to the Ali-Foreman fight - which he was supposed to cover - to swim in the hotel pool instead.)
