    Franchise Movie DOs and DON'Ts

    Simply put, you're telling someone on a tight-rope not to lean either right or left TOO much. An obvious, and yet, ultimately useless piece of advice considering that a proper balance in the set-up, story-telling and marketing of a franchise isn't a clear issue of "Do this and not that". The...

    Joss Whedon Defends Ben Affleck as Batman

    Why is it that people refer to Affleck's work from a decade ago, but ignore his most recent? What selective bullshit is this? By the same logic, Leonardo DiCaprio is a terrible actor, when he's anything but.

    Can We Just Use Friendzone to Describe a Situation, Please?

    And about your last paragraph; If you were already friends beforehand, it's not entitlement to expect that friendship to continue, imo. Actually, yes it is. The crux of the argument is that you are never entitled to something, the pursuant is not entitled to romantic interest from their...

    Girlfriend Zone!

    Not respecting someone is how you get into their pants and subsequently occupy that space for a while until you find someone else more deserving of your unrespect. Das life.

    The Big Picture: The Big Spoiler: Iron Man 3

    Are you equating realism with great story-telling? If so, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE. Fiction is a boundless ocean where execution is king. Anything can be made into a good story and "development" isn't exclusive to realism (or whatever...

    EVE Announces Collector's Edition, TV Series and Comic

    Eh, Baltasar is a good director, never been too blown away by his work, but his style of directing (realistic, gritty, rough) might really suit something like EVE.

    Ubisoft Says Complex Gameplay "Holds Back" Splinter Cell

    Ugh. Shit like this makes me wonder why these big publishers even bother with PR department seeing as they are completely incompetent at fucking PR!. I get simplifying things such as controls by making them more intuitive instead of needlessly contrived, but shit like this just makes...

    Female Friendzone?

    Holy fucking shit. You just nailed the proverbial nail on its motherfucking head. I rarely give out kudos, but I think its more than apt in this situation. THIS is the gender-demarcation in experiences of the friend-zone. The whole gender axiom of the Hunter vs. the Prey is what explains why...

    I keep alienating everyone

    As someone said earlier, post the facebook exchange, then we'll judge. People who are smart/think they are smart/smart relative to the people they associate with often times don't get basic social communication, tone, presentation, ect. BUT really, bias is often times underestimated in...

    Bethesda VP Defends Day-One DLC

    Easily dismissed by the fact that NOT EVERY PIECE OF DAY 1 DLC IS LOCKED AWAY ON THE DISK. THE POINT IS STILL VALID FOR MOST INSTANCES OF DAY 1 DLC. But no, of course there can be no demarcation in the land of fucking hyperbole and fucktardiness, for this is an internet forum and as such...

    Bethesda VP Defends Day-One DLC

    I swear to god, about 99% of the people in this thread did not read the goddamn fucking article. His point was that THEY HAVE FINISHED THE GAME ITSELF BUT ARE WAITING FOR IT TO SHIP, meaning that in the meantime they can work on side-content like DLC. Get it? THEY HAVE SPARE-TIME UNTIL...

    Big developers making small games from time to time

    Makes sense, allows for experimentation that they not be able in the AAA space and earns them a little extra cash on the side.

    Things you will always defend.

    A great steak. Hell, I would even defend a mediocre steak. Just as long as its steak. Steak. Steak. Steek.
