    The Big Picture: Go Go Godzilla - Hoping for Better Blockbusters

    Not failing, that's not going to happen. But disappointing, as in the studio saying, "Damn, we only made buckets of money off of this, we were hoping for barrels."

    Jimquisition: Watch Dogs - Five Collector's Editions For One Game? What? F*$%ing WHAT?

    It's really not that complicated to figure out which Watch_Dogs special edition to buy. Just get the one that offers the most console exclusive missions at 1080p 60fps.

    Escape to the Movies: Godzilla - Breaking Kaiju

    I'll take bland and forgettable over offensively stupid while waiting for the action scenes to become awesome any day. (I've pretty much given up hope for exciting three dimensional characters and story in an action movie.) So I didn't mind Lt. Boring as much as MovieBob. Despite what Ken...

    LoadingReadyRun: The Dark

    That had to be some of the easiest boom work in a while.

    Jimquisition: Watch_Dogs: A Vertical Slice Of Steaming Bullshots

    When the E3 trailer came out I said, "That looks damn good, but I doubt the actual gameplay will look as good as that cinematic trailer." Only to be called a hater and insulted because, "That was gameplay" and I should shut the hell up because I had no idea what I was talking about. Pbbbbbbbbbbt!

    The Big Picture: The King of Meh-Sters?

    I won't say grim-dark has no place, but I'm tired of grim-dark. I want a few "fun" action movies.

    LoadingReadyRun: A Fortunate Teller

    It's my understanding that the one dollar coin is called a "looney" because it has a picture of a loon on it, and the two dollar coin is called a "twooney" because that just sounds ridiculous.

    Feed Dump: Man Places Entire Squash into Rectum

    So Kathleen has basically taken over hosting Feed Dump? I generally approve, but I miss having the panelists make bad guesses at what the story is about. "What has the man been doing with the squash?" and "What has the man in Germany been keeping in his house?"

    Jimquisition: Steam Needs Quality Control

    I think the mistake is thinking that being available on Steam has ever been, or implied to have been, an indication of quality. We're talking about a retailer with unlimited warehouse and shelf space. There's no reason for them to not sell anything and everything anyone wants to offer. Yet for...

    Escape to the Movies: Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

    Come on, Bob, don't do this to me. You imply something so gobsmackingly stupid happens in a bad movie and part of me wants to see the movie just to confirm it really is that dumb. I'm given to understand that Jack Ryan was roused from his sleep in London by prescient knowledge of what was...

    No Right Answer: Best Archer Ever

    Because she's in a couple currently very popular movies and many of the promotional shots show her holding a bow. This ignores the fact that in the movies (I haven't read the books) she's somewhat realistically portrayed as, at best, semi-competent. I would estimate about 60% of her shots fly...

    Jimquisition: Shaming PC Ports Because Why Not?

    Contracting another company to finish the port could be very expensive. How about finding the fan modders and tossing them a few thousand dollars for what they would do for free so you can ship the fix at release and look competent?

    Man Who Bought $735 Xbox One Photo Gets Free Xbox One

    A lot of people think this guy was dumb. He wasn't. He was very calculating. He wanted an Xbox One. He went on eBay. He found a listing in the category that should be the genuine article, but the listing said picture. Because it said picture very few people bid on it, recognizing it as a scam...

    Feed Dump: Drugs, Mayors and Garbage

    It's easy to have strong feelings about something that's, perhaps literally, in your back yard. But it's clearly more impressive to hate something thousands of miles away.

    Jimquisition: Who "Won" The Next-Gen Launch?

    Thank you, Jim Sterling, for reminding me of all the stuff I read months ago about how the poor Wii U's graphics capabilities were so pitiful compared to the hype about the "real" next gen consoles coming up. Well, the "real" consoles are here now and the Wii U isn't looking all that pitiful any...
