At the words "until last Wednesday" I thought the Escapist had lost the last reason they had for me coming here, after Rebecca Mayes, Jimquisition, and MovieBob. Considering Yahtzee has been on U2b for years (albeit like HULU a week later but who cares as this is not South Park, eh?) there is...

Guess I will stay home and watch Ghostbusters and Wreck-It Ralph.

It sounds as if they stole the idea from watching the first ten minutes of The Quiet Earth and skipping the rest.

Wait, wait, wait. The Last Guardian still is not out? I had that game on order three years ago but cancelled it when I lost my job. It still has not been finished and released? Imagine if I had not been fired, all the interest they would have made off the money they would not have had to return...

Dr. No was Asian, most likely Chinese but possibly Korean.

No, not at that altitude, even with the extra thrust of an explosion. All fall down, go boom.

Overpressure event, meaning the pressure release valve failed to release pressure in the LOX tank as the rocket went higher into the atmosphere. Counterintuitive cause is BS for "unexpected." Well, as they say, "NSS." No one expects a catastrophic failure unless one is planning to clean up in...

And do not forget the stupidest, most stubborn villain in the history of anything. No, either one, really. It does not matter.

Maybe I will wait for the porn version. Unless this IS the porn version.

I have not used an Amiibo nor ever will, but would not using a stolen one immediately identify it to the server? Or do they work in client mode only? Their only value seems to be in shelf display and at this point not even that because everyone will know they are stolen. Aside from gloating...

"Spunk notwithstanding" leads me to think they should have kept Osgood and gotten rid of Oswald. Yes, I would rather ponder Doctor Who than concern myself in the least with Wolfenstein. "Ach! Mein German sausage!" Pff, you mean "Ach! Mein Schwanzstucker!" Yes, I would also rather research...

So, now we can truly have newspads like in 2001, not Apple iPads which are slippery, heavy and breakable, and we can have wallscreens like in Fahrenheit 451. Since everyone will be thoroughly glued to the set by then, book burning anyone? Or shall we just wait for HAL to open the airlock?

Maybe they do not want to inspire any thoughts of "Morganland, die welt."

Mistake: science fiction MOVIES depict a bleak landscape. Hollywood is full of puddingheads. Science fiction literature is as varied and widespread in its message as it ever was. Just look at the books and magazines published since 1960. There is plenty of room for apocalypse and utopia in the...

Do Mr. Toots's rainbow farts smell of apples and cinnamon? They must. Two weapons I am still waiting for are the silver sphere from Phantasm, and Gary Larson's Dobie-O-Matic. No... three weapons: I want Douglas Adams's Point-of-View Gun, too. Sometimes I just want adversaries to be in an...
