    The Big Picture: Age of Heroes

    So according to Bob, TDKR has officially gone from "somewhat disappointing sequel to TDK" to "almost genre-killing bomb comparable to the worst superhero movies ever." Tune in next week when we learn that TDKR directly caused the rise of ISIS and might even be the source of cancer.

    The Big Picture: Off Target - Don't Censor Me Part 2

    Yes you can kill hookers in GTA, but do you know who else you kill? Everyone. You're not incentivized to go out and murder prostitutes anymore than you are to cause other types of general mayhem and destruction. Should Prostitutes be the one character group in GTA whom you can't kill, or is Bob...

    Escape to the Movies: Ouija - Just A Lame Cash-In

    "Legitimate spiritualists and mediums" You may have a bit of a contradiction there, Bob.

    How Does the Israeli-Gaza Conflict Affect Video Games?

    This is a disgustingly click-bait article trying to get some extra views out of the horrors happening in the Levant, even for the escapist.

    US Military Wants Walls That Can Pop Out of Cans for Use on the Field

    that's not exactly portable, in fact it's almost large enough that you could just use the can. Also I have to ask if the walls are bullet-proof, ie can they actually be used for cover.

    Pre-Batman Series Gotham Finds its Gordon

    If this is before Batman, then I fail to see how it will be different than any other crime show on TV. It sounds like that's the plan- make a generic Law and Order knock off but replace "New York" with "Gotham" for some name recognition.

    The Big Picture: The Big Letdown

    Wow, He doesn't like Man of Steel? This is a huge shocker; please constantly remind us how much you didn't like this or The Dark Knight Rises.

    Controller connection in AC3

    I just started playing AC3 today and my controllers have been acting very strangely. They will continually lose connection with the Xbox, but only when I get the combat alert (That flash on screen when enemies spot you.) Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this? (Also the controller...

    Switching Lithium Batteries?

    So I'm swapping out the battery of my Pokemon Yellow cartridge and I see that it uses a c1616 battery. That has a pretty low capacity (50mAh), even compared to other gameboy cartridges. I saw on this guide http://www.pokemasters.net/forums/showthread.php?t=15464 That he swapped his c2025 for a...

    GBC replacement cartridge battery question

    I've been reading a lot of stuff on how to replace the GBC cartridge battery due to the fact that its memory can only be held for ~15 years (meaning that they are all dying around now.) When you replace it with a modern watch battery, about how long does this one last? My first assumption is...

    Spellsword vs Pure Mage?

    So I'm starting to lean towards the pure mage (with no armor for challenge/roleplaying reasons) option, good idea?

    Spellsword vs Pure Mage?

    I know that each individual spell will not do much damage, but with the enchantments later on that allow you to essentially cast for 0 mana, won't quantity somewhat override lack of quality? As long as an enemy is far away I can just spam lightning until they get close and then finish them off...

    Spellsword vs Pure Mage?

    So it seems what you two are saying is that I should either abandon the idea of destruction magic to go with spellsword and let my sword do the damage, or just go all out mage?

    Spellsword vs Pure Mage?

    I'm having a hard time trying to decide between two playstyles (yes I know that there are no classes anymore, that's why I'm referring to them as "playstyles.") The spellsword, with heavy armor, one handed, and the magical focuses of Destruction, Restoration, alteration and enchantingg or the...

    Microsoft Patents the Holodeck

    Wait a minute, if it uses a projector to cover the entire room, and you're in the room, then would the lights be shining directly in your eyes?
