For whatever it's worth in the world, I got the Quatermass reference. And no need to Google either. It's not really a bad story, but the 'last' Quatermass story with the mass abduction/consumption of young people by aliens is far better.

Color me interested, provided they include Tharkhold. I never played, but I held it in the same regard as I did GURPS material - worth stripping to the bone and incorporating into other games.

I enjoy catching the occasional segment, as he's a fairly good presenter and host. However, most of his content is covering things I already know about or have read in detail on liberal-oriented news sites and blog posts. The whole thing comes across as preaching to the choir, and I'd feel a bit...

I've got to step up to defend Wesker...a little. He's great for the RE games simply because he sums up Umbrella Psychosis in a single leather-clad package. They're the smartest people in the room, capable of creating technology and biotech that literally change the world, and what do they do...

Whoops, my bad. Missed the link, and I was just going off the text of the review.

Hey Marter, a slight correction is warranted. Lautner headlined a film called Abduction in 2011. Granted, critical buzz says it was forgettable, but he has done something outside of Twilight and this. Otherwise, you do solid work.

This. This with all of my tiny-ankled, 3-cybernetic-arms-on-one-side-of-my-body heart. Who let the first-wave Image Comics crew back near classic characters? Is this some variation of the Outsider suit (perhaps the worst example of giving a Marty Stu unnecessary add-ons)? Or the Hellbat? Or...

Mr. Pratchett was one of the fantasy authors who seemed to 'get it', at least to me. Not only were his books a great read, but a lot of his logic for how the Powers That Be interacted with each other and the world informed a lot of my tabletop GMing. Reaper Man is one of my favorite books of all...

Why didn't he grab a hold of one of the 'good' Ultron variants? Might've given the Ultron Singularity a bit more of a run for its money. Two Thors seems rather silly to me, and there's a remarkable lack of people with a 'solid' connection to Ultron. The Vision? Absolutely, and through him the...

So, why is the minigame called 'Dating Sim' and not...Hatfall Boyfriend? *silence* *tips fedora* I'l let myself out.

I'm not up on the current status, but from what I remember the animated series version of Ivy wasn't bi or a lesbian. She's hetero but misandryst. She calls men weak and useless because they're so easy to control. Harley was basically a project of hers, somewhere between pity, friendship, and a...

I've seen Thunderstrike referenced on the Marvel teasers for this. If we get Thunderstrike back, I'm on board. Also, why is there a Thor in the Destroyer suit? I don't recognize that one.

Pretty much the recent TV front here. Maybe it's my inclination to dislike things that are excessively popular/pushed on me, but most of the fan favorite 'geek culture' TV shows don't flip my switches. I like some of them well enough, but all of my friends absolutely adore them to a level I have...

I've got to disagree with the placement of #1 and #8. Alone In The Dark is pretty watchable, like a middling quality session of a modern horror tabletop game. The concept is stellar (a shout-out to Bureau 13, and a pleasingly alien if generic threat), and while the acting is pretty atrocious...

So...a team using established female characters (with a new one or two), without forcing gender flips or re-imaginings of existing characters? Alright, this is a fairly reasonable idea. Using the tools you already have in the correct way, and backing it with decent writers, should earn Marvel a...
