    Dawn of War III Announced in New Trailer

    Could be a distraction. Who else would be dumping thousands of bodies into a rocky pit in some bleak, formless landscape? Edit: at the very least, it could be foreshadowing for the inevitable xpac.

    Where do you think all those bodies are being dumped? SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE

    New Battery Tech Gives Eight Hours of Play Time on One-Minute Charge

    Chris Dingle sounds like a fake name... >< Initial costs for new tech are always high, but if this works as advertised, I see MS or Sony buying them out and incorporating the tech into their next gen products out of the box.

    No Post-Credits "Stinger" For The Force Awakens

    Star Wars could have been a total failure and 20th Century Fox (now part of the Fox Entertainment Group, which in turn is part of 21st Century Fox) would still be a multi-billion dollar corporation. People will continue to go to movies even if the studios churn out garbage. So why not make the...

    No Post-Credits "Stinger" For The Force Awakens

    Also, the cast and crew never see a dime of your money. The lion's share of that goes to the producing company, with a pittance of that being passed along to those actors and directors (and rarely writers) savvy enough to request points in lieu of larger pay. The vast majority of cast and crew...

    No Post-Credits "Stinger" For The Force Awakens

    Or, you know, people could actually pay their respects by taking five minutes out of their lives to acknowledge the existence of all the hard working cast and crew. It used to be considered extremely rude to leave before the credits finished, tantamount to leaving a performance while the...

    Astronomers Puzzle Over Most Mysterious Star In The Galaxy

    It would be like trying to visit every star system in Spore. At first you get really excited and go for it, but after about the 20th system, you get bored and only go to interesting systems. And we weren't interesting in the 6th century. All glory to Spode.

    Online Kombat

    Except you fail to consider the social context. This is a country in which there are states and counties in which it is still legal to discriminate against gay people for being gay: http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/17/us/michigan-business-bans-openly-gay-people/index.html As such, the only way...

    D&D 5th Edition Gets Digital With New Fantasy Grounds Packs

    And of course Hasbro will use the failure to sell this overpriced PoC as justification that "players don't want online content".

    MovieBob leaving The Escapist

    I am not thrilled with this move, Escapist Magazine, and I will strongly be considering whether to not renew my Publisher's Club membership this year.

    Role RPG App Promises Pen & Paper Fun on Your Phone

    The system feels like a stripped down Numenara. Not that that's a bad thing; its more abstract nature just means that a GM and players will need to rely more on storytelling and creativity over rules.

    No More Settlers? Catan Rebranded For New Edition

    We don't call it "Catan" as shorthand in my gaming group; we call it "Settlers".

    Mountain-Sized Asteroid Zipped by Earth This Morning

    I didn't see that as pedantic as all. As a mariner I can tell you that Venus is the brightest body in the sky visible at night besides the moon, and it looks like a star. So chill out?

    Meet X-Men: Apocalypse's Younger Cyclops, Storm, and Jean Grey

    Teenage Jean Grey could totally have a teen girl crush on Wolverine. If he reciprocates, THAT would be creepy. :p I suspect McAvoy will be the go-to Xavier from here on out. Has Sophie Turner done anything where she speaks 'Murrican? I'd be curious to see/hear it.
