    The Big Picture: Man of Tomorrow

    I can see Superman killing Zod as a springboard for future sequels. One of the constant themes for Superman is why not become the supreme ruler/dictator (Justice Lord, Injustice, etc). The death of Zod means that any sequel has shown that Superman could actually become that sort of person but...

    You Can Now Play League of Legends On Your Mac

    actually there has been a Mac client for LoL for some time now. I've been playing on a mac without bootcamp or a Windows emulator for over a year now. The site Boompje.net had a client for mac users developed by fans.

    Update: BioWare Teases Release Date for Next Mass Effect

    I don't see a sequel making sense from a lore perspective. Unless Bioware wants to declare one ending canon which raises the whole ending debacle again after that horse was beaten into paste. Its not like the issue can be side-stepped either. From the beginning scene the audience is going to...

    Best out of context quotes.

    In high school, my government teacher was teaching us about PACs. He draws a triangle connecting 3 groups. Then he draws another one upside down over connecting another set. As a student comes in the room, our teacher, without looking at his drawing, points to his illustration saying "This...

    League of Legends Honors Well-Behaved Players

    I'm thinking this won't work. Trolls are going to report others to prevent honor gain or if the system is too confusing or even time consuming, people are just going to skip it. I'm also curious if people on the other team get a say in this as well. Since they don't see team chat, do they...

    Jimquisition: Crying Through The Laughs

    I'm surprised no mention of Call of Duty. The Modern Warfare franchise seems to be a great example of how to and how not to create an emotional scene. The time in the first modern Warfare where the player climbs out of the downed helicopter after the nuke goes off was a moving scene...

    Your top 5 games' flaws

    A lot have already been said so I'll go with Spore - the game tanks after the creature mode. The tribal and civilization parts are on par with flash games created by students. There is no challenge or strategy. The creature phase was a fun game to explore but after you evolve the game...

    Build a House, Raise a Family in New Skyrim DLC Hearthfire

    Given that many players were turned into vampires with Dawnguard, this seems like an odd tone shift. edit: given how people plan to abuse the adoption system in the comments, maybe not.

    Movie Trailers: Red Dawn - Trailer

    While the Soviet Union wasn't necessarily the unstoppable juggernaut at the time, the movie-goers of 1984 would probably be able to remember a time when the idea of war between the U.S. and the Soviets wasn't so far-fetched. The problem with the remake is that sort of cultural remembrance...

    Notch: Minecraft is Full of Hermaphrodites

    So if blocky Minecraft Steve is a gay hermaphrodite, does this mean we are assigning genders to all video game characters regardless of relevance? I have always been suspicious of the pong paddle. What's its sexuality?

    Games that you mentally declare non-canon.

    As fun as World of Warcraft was, I never saw it as canon when you interacted with major story characters. Reviving Illidan for Burning Crusade was a stretch but since then its just gotten silly. I really hated the revival of Muradin in WotLK and Ragnaros in Cata.

    World of Warcraft Could Have Been World of Warhammer

    Azeroth may have been redone but not that many of the end game bosses. You still fight Raganaros and Nefarian, Zul'Gurub and Zul'Aman. Cataclysm did revamp many of the leveling zones, but the end game content felt recycled. Same with the new PvP. The new battlegrounds were just Arathi...

    World of Warcraft Could Have Been World of Warhammer

    I thought GW's main contribution was the creation of armor with shoulder pads big enough to cover a small car rather than any substantial contribution to the lore of fantasy. That, and tanks covered with more guns than an NRA convention. What version of WoW have you been playing...

    Flickering for Fun and Profit

    The rule book entry on the Wizards site says To prevent a permanent from being destroyed later in the turn. A regeneration effect works like a shield. A spell or ability that says ?Regenerate [a permanent]? puts a regeneration shield on that permanent that can be used up at any time during...

    Mass Effect Movie Script.

    So is half the movie going to be Shepard landing on random planets driving the Mako around? Really, I don't even think the movie will ever get made. How many times did we hear about a Halo or Warcraft movie?
