    Dawn of War III Announced in New Trailer

    Anyone else feeling a little tired of getting the same factions on release? Would it have killed them to have put in Necrons or Tau in place of Eldar? Maybe just me. Also, while I love that they are apparently putting in at least the smaller titans, it probably means I won't get my beloved...

    Star Wars Force Awakens Spoiler Filled discussion thread (no spoiler tags, you've been warned)

    There's two types of Tie fighters in the movie. The first is the normal ties that are still one seaters. We see them chasing the Falcon on Jakku and again in the other dogfights. The other is the Special Forces Tie, which they use to escape the Star Destroyer. Two seater, has missiles and a...

    Astronomers Puzzle Over Most Mysterious Star In The Galaxy

    Hardly. Even if an advanced species had FTL they wouldn't necessarily go exploring every star system, and at 1500 LY away we're pretty damn far. This is quite interesting to me. Hopefully we can get some kind of better reading of the phenomena.

    Anno 2205 Takes City Sims Into Space This November

    I like the look of it. Still somewhat disappointed we didn't get an 1800 or 1900s game. I like the aesthetics of that era more. Though the above poster is likely somewhat correct, in that what will differentiate the moon from the Orient in 1404, and underwater in 2070? That in-game...

    Arrived, This Star Wars: Battlefront Gameplay Trailer Has - Update

    X-wings and Ties fighting at Hoth is just wrong, as is Luke being in his RotJ configuration. Honestly if they can't even get these basic lore things right, I'm worried about the rest.

    Hearthstone Player's Dad Makes Him Pick College or Game Tournament

    I'm actually kind of amused by this. Classes are important in college, true. But they are far from the only reason people should go. Networking is arguably more important than classwork for many degrees. Which yes can often take the form of things that appear to just be for fun, but they're...

    Total War: Warhammer Finally Gets Official Announcement

    So it turns out the expansions while standalone also combine with the main game to add more factions and sections of the map. Which means that the single greatest problem with the TW series, that CA never follows up on their games, isn't going to happen. It means we will likely be getting at...

    Star Wars: Armada Review - A Must-Play Tabletop Experience

    Then drop X-wing. Seriously. I have two core sets and Armada is an absolute blast. It's a much better designed game than X-wing, has learned from that games flaws, and is only just starting. Don't get me wrong, I have a pretty sizable collection of X-wing too, but I'm done buying anything...

    Hubble Space Telescope Spots a Beautiful Galaxy Far, Far Away

    You take my comment about the constant increasing levels of human technology and twist it into a rant on pacifism that doesn't address my original point at all. Bravo. I've not seen these kinds of mental gymnastics in response to me in some time. I don't give a flying fuck about trying to...

    Hubble Space Telescope Spots a Beautiful Galaxy Far, Far Away

    If you told someone a hundred years ago that man could make a device to travel faster than the speed of sound, pretty much everyone would have called you crazy. Yet within their own lifetimes they could have witnessed us doing just that. It's virtually impossible to predict where technology is...

    What did you want to see at E3 that didn't show up?

    Advance Wars for the 3DS. It was pretty much the only thing that I was actually interested in seeing before E3 (besides the usual awesome AAA game trailers), and all we got was some vague guarantees from IS that they know the series exists.

    8 K-pop Bands You Should Have Heard About

    The lack of f(x) and 2ne1 on this list makes it invalid.

    "Call of Duty: Ghosts Features Female Soldiers in Multiplayer"

    The silhouettes have been borked ever since they started adding in tons of hats and other misc items, so I really don't take that as an excuse. Also there have been some damn good female models made that don't screw with the hotboxes at all. No, Valve just doesn't want to do it for a hundred...

    Civ V: Brave New World Review - Trade Conquers All

    That's too bad, considering the game could really use a dreadnought unit between frigates and battleships. Debating whether I should pick this up now or further down the line.

    Movie Trailers: 300: Rise of an Empire - Trailer

    It's a movie about naval battles and it has Eva Green in it, and those naval battles and ships look awesome. That's enough to make me go see it. Also cool that they're doing this because the only reason Xerxes' army had to fight the Spartans was because the Athenian navy was holding them...
