So, Bravely Milking This Franchise: For All It's Worth, then.

Right, that too. This kind of thing is the reason why the transporter is the one bit of Trek-tech that needs to be invented the least. (There's also the thing about how a transporter wouldn't really transport you; it would use the atoms at your destination to make an identical copy of you, while...

Fucking this: <youtube=ydXenL7iu0w> Also, the scene in the cave when Terrell phasered himself and made that goddamn noise as he vaporized and then Chekov collapsed and started bleeding from the ear. This is still one of the best movies ever, but when I went to bed after watching it, I...

Well, the Alien franchise hasn't produced anything of value since 1986, but who knows, maybe this time... ...okay, I'm with you so far... ...fuck. The one lesson they learned from Colonial Marines was "people love fighting humans in a game called Aliens, so let's definitely do that...

Drat. Ninja'd.

Yes, it should. It probably won't, not if EA thinks that they can wring a few more bucks out of it, but it should. The shitty endings make a sequel impossible, since they each take the universe in radically different directions. And there's no point in doing a prequel, for the same reason that...

I see. They made another sci-fi first-person shooter in which you play a faceless power-armor-wearing alien-killing grunt because they wanted their game to be instantly recognizable. Well, mission accomplished, I suppose.

Seriously, EA, it's okay. It really is. You already persuaded me to stop buying games with your logo on them ages ago. You can stop now.

Until there is one, I'm not getting it. As long as the Kinect comes in the box, there's the possibility that they'll eventually put out a mandatory software update to make you use it again. I wouldn't trust them not to try that.

Seconded. I know why I didn't like the ending. I don't need some smug IGN dickhead to enlighten me.

It was at the time. Guess they fixed the headline since then. (That just leaves the typo in the story itself, but whatever.) But yeah, good on Valve for resisting the all-too-common urge to kill off the studio and fire those guys.

As much as I hate to be that guy, I feel like living here gives me no choice: ...sorry.

Yes I do, just about any time I can. Why? Because it's not fair that men always have to be the ones risking life and limb to save the world, damn it. If women want to be equal, they need to quit goldbricking around and start world-saving as well. Actually, you know the RPG trope where the big...

There, fixed. Seriously, America, what the fuck is wrong with you?

A minor correction: It was fifteen minutes for us, but twenty years for Joel. I'm pretty sure that, dead daughter or no dead daughter, if I'd managed to survive twenty years in a zombie-infested wasteland where food is scarce, bandits are everywhere, the remaining authorities treat you like...
