    The Big Picture: Plothole Surfers

    Well, I actually think that Beauty and the Beast remake is an interesting example here, because while yes, it does in fact try to fix some of the perceived 'plot holes' of the original, it's very hard to deny that it ended up in far worse shape because of it. In the words of Yahtzee: "Talk about...

    Zero Punctuation: Octopath Traveler

    Why am I only getting an ad that looks to be about four years out of date?

    Do you think exclusives are good for the gaming community.

    Definitely no, because the 'it makes developers put in their best effort' is a weird argument to make. It seems to argue that hundreds of people putting in thousands of hours of work would want their efforts to reach as small an audience as possible. Like Yahtzee once said: "Exclusivity is an...

    So are rednecks/religious people the new boogeymen now?

    Meh, they've been targets forever. It's a grooup that's recognizable enough for everyone to know about them, but non-descript enough to not target anyone specifically. And everyone's basically been saying it, but it's not very new. Do you think they were jsut throwing darts around when Kingsman...

    Actors who get on your dander | Acting Pet Peeves | Overacting

    Two that always stand out to me are Lucy Liu and Cillian Murphy. Liu, for some reason, I just don't like her in anything I've seen her in, starting with Kill Bill. Murphy is a bit of a shame, because he is in two of my top five favorite movies, one of which he has the lead in. (The Dark...

    Avatar TLA & LoK: Your thoughts + favourite bending.

    Well, I thought that as a whole, The Last Airbender is hands down the better one. It has the richer story, the more cohesive narrative, and it's closer to an experience than just another show for me. There are very few things about this show that I'm iffy on, save for one or two episodes that...

    Dreamworks vs Pixar!

    Dreamworks has been making big waves, while Pixar has been steasily losing ground since The Incredibles. I mean, it's not like they haven't made any good movies since, but they are not as untouchable anymore as they were before the first Cars, and especially since the second one three years...

    Legend of Korra: The Beifong Bunch

    Suyin vs Kuvira is instantly one of the top fights so far, even if it's less then a minute long. That being said, I liked how this episode felt like the start of the finale of TLA, in a good way. It moved the plot and characters forward, while also moving the pieces into position AND delivering...

    Your "it is time to kick ass" music!

    Well, Optimus Prime will never get old: You said it yourself, *****: we're te Guardians of the Galaxy. The Avengers is also one that only answers to one: Namely to a Fully Realized Avatar: So there you go. Pick one

    Pointless Sex Scenes and Romances in Movies/TV/Games/Books

    Enemy at the Gates, anyone? That whole romance is shoehorned in, and the sex scene makes it all the more awkward. Thank you. I typically hate love traingles and this one is no exception. And what makes it all the worse, is that the movie clocks in over two and a half hours, and it's wasted...

    Confess your nerd sins

    I don't care about Star Wars I don't care about Star Trek I don't like Dr Who I don't like TV show of Game of Thrones I actually found physics to be quite useful I think Pokemon is overrated I read quite some Frozen fanfiction and liked plenty of it (some of it is downright bizarre, but I...

    Atrocious commercials on TV

    All perfume commercials, as illustrated by the well known meme I'm too lazy to look for: "This perfume advert makes perfect sense, said no one ever." Those aren't annoying or obnoxious, they're just selling a product that's impossible to market. No, my personal hatred goes out to any...

    Legend of Korra - Book 4: Balance

    With Nick doing nothing what so ever to advertise it, I figured I'd ask: who knows it's already airing? I asked two mates, both of whom are fairly hardcore fans, and neither of them knew it was being released. I thought episode 1 ''After All These Years'' is a stronger opening than the opening...

    Movies you loved...but grew to dislike.

    Transformers, from 2007. I used to like it as a guilty pleasure, but now that I'm older, I just see how awful it really is. I still enjoy watching these big robots punch eachother, but better movies have come along since doing similar stuff (not the sequels, those were dead on arrival to me)...
