I'm a bit apprehensive about all of this. They are disrupting their movie schedule to shoehorn in a character they didn't create (in the cinematic sense) nor originally plan for, and that they don't have full creative control over. That feels a lot like dropping a large turd on the side of...

Promotions. Not the movie. Promotions. Darth Maul and the Double-Bladed lightsaber were in the movie itself, they weren't the sole focus of some vague media campaign pre-movie to try and get people to watch Episode 1 without knowing anything. They were in the movie itself. My point was that the...

Of course it is - the promotions for episode 1 were't just of a double-bladed lightsaber without showing the characters, setting, or any plot whatsoever.

You know what *really* irritates me about this whole "controversy"? That releasing a contextless shot of a clearly controversial version of a lightsaber was a calculated decision on J.J. Abrams part to spark massive discussion and high-profile internet buzz. He knew some people would freak out...

A symbiote race. It could be fungal, animal, or even magic-based. Simply put, the symbiote bonds to any creature (for balance, it might have to have intelligence between 4 and 8, or whatever mechanics you choose to use), and uses it for mobility, communication, etc. There are interesting...

So, I don't know how many people have actually played the new games yet, but let me say this in all caps to catch people's eye: THEY HAVE DRASTICALLY REDUCED RANDOM ENCOUNTERS WHILE SURFING! You heard me correctly. I surfed from Petalburg to Slateport and darned if I didn't have more than...

It's interesting to see that all of those but Watch Dogs were MMOs. That can't all be server costs?what makes them so expensive?

I respectfully disagree. I don't believe it's a waste of resources, because a different studio (Illfonic, I believe) has been brought in to do the FPS stuff. The only "resources" that would be taken away from the main product, then, would be money (at least in the development stage). I don't...

As a virologist myself, I can say that in "Plague Inc. terms" Ebola has high visibility, extremely high lethality, and relatively low infectivity. Not a good combination.

Just because you knew they weren't going to kill off Han, Luke, or Leia in "Empire Strikes Back" didn't make the movie any less tense, and didn't mean they couldn't leave the audience with a shocking, "sad" ending.

Wrench in the gears looked great, but the music synced up really poorly, and it detracted from the piece overall. I couldn't really tell what they were doing in any given moment, and there wasn't any real plot. (I feel like this is a continuation of a story that started a few years back, but I...

I'd like to point out that this family is German, and to my knowledge lived in Germany. (I could be very wrong, please correct me if so.) Germany also has SWAT teams, and they are very sensitive to threats of this kind (due to incidents they suffered before the formation of GSG9). Thus, this...

Could we stop doing "Clickbait" titles for the news articles? A proper news title should convey the point of the actual story, in this case that humans were eating snails earlier than we expected. A news title for this story should be something like "Prehistoric humans consumed snails earlier...

I clicked on this thread expecting a relatively even spread of answers on opinions towards children, but in four pages there are only 2 or 3 responses of people who genuinely *love* kids. That's interesting. Now, before anyone gets up in arms, I certainly don't mean it's wrong, or even bad...

It's become a thorn in the side of "current" EU writers, so much so that one of the editors at Dark Horse Comics at one point enshrined a quote on his desk saying "Stay the f*** away from Tatooine."
