    8 of the Most Time Consuming Anime

    I gave up with bleach 3/4 of the way through season 2. When I'm 17 episodes in, the story has moved on about 5 minutes and there's still an entire series (at least) to go in this arc (which really could have been a 2-4 episode deal max) I'm out. Give me a nice series that's done and dusted in...

    The 5th Wave - Invasion of the Teenage Body Snatchers, TV Pilot Edition

    If you assume they have limited numbers of available 'troops' it makes sense. Send them in as a first wave and what happens? They start WW3 and kill millions? 2 problems: 1) they can kill people cleanly using their technology and they don't risk turning the earth into a radioactive hellhole...

    Suffragette - Feminism, The Movie

    Oh that's not the half of it. Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the opposition was criticised for: A) Normally wearing a white poppy (a pacifist version that represents all dead). He decided to wear the usual red poppy instead this year. B) writing a message on a poppy wreath that didn't deify...

    No PC Splitscreen, Pilotable Y-Wings For Battlefront

    It is gutting to see this after seeing what pandemic was planning for the sequel, they took battlefront 2 and made it better. dice have just re skinned a cutdown version of battlefield. How you fuck this up is beyond me, all they had to do was upscale battlefront 1/2, make the maps bigger and...

    Net Brutality

    Where do you live that has that? All the providers bar virgin use the same BT phone lines, only difference between me and the guy next door is who gets the money every month. If you can get 1 you should be able to get them all (almost). Though that speed sounds about right for anywhere that's...

    MovieBob's Fall (And Beyond) Preview

    That's the point of the dwarves. Bombur, Bofur, Bifur, Ori, Nori, Dori, Balin, Dwalin, Oin, Gloin, Kili, Fili & Thorin. 13 names that are impossible to remember who's who, they aren't really supposed to be individual (except Thorin) because you're supposed to read all their names out together in...

    Game of Lady Bones

    To give Tyrion a huge "holy shit he's seriously disfigured" scar on his face Peter Dinklage would probably have to spend hours every day in the make-up chair and it could make it very hard for him to act well; the make-up would probably restrict how well he'd be able to move his face, damaging...

    Don't Recommend Me an Anime

    Probably get crap for this but Neon Genesis Evangelion. Watched it after a lot of people were talking about it on here and all I could think is 'That's it?'. It had an interesting premise and character set but did nothing with it - there was no character development, the story just stopped dead...

    Personal safety, Help!

    Yeah, since we don't have guns to the same degree as the US, people are more likely to use knives in crimes like muggings/robberies/etc. so police crack down hard on anyone carrying one without good reason. p.s. Sorry if my first post seemed a bit aggressive. Just read it back there...

    Personal safety, Help!

    No, no, no. Worst advice ever. Police catch you with a knife and you're fucked, they don't care if it's for show and you don't plan on stabbing anyone. Police find a knife on you and you can kiss management chances goodbye, they don't take that stuff lightly because of how bad knife crime is in...

    How in the hell does the Universal Translator work???

    I quite liked the Mass effect explanation; their not speaking English/whatever you play the game in but 'Galactic'. You might still speak English on Earth and Asari on Thessia but when they are talking with someone from another species they use a 'standard' language - sort of like how two...

    taboola ads are frigging discusting

    Are you talking about those 'here's some articles from other websites' that are at the bottom of article pages? Yeah some of them are a bit creepy but you don't have to scroll down to look at them, it's not like they are in the middle of the page. Just don't go that far down the page and you'll...

    Day one DLC

    Well a game has to be sent off weeks-months in advance of release to allow certification, disk burning, etc. and in that time the guys who make the graphic side of a game can't really do anything new because they have to wait until the engine, etc is built (think of it like an electrician having...

    Saints Row 4's Final Sellout

    While I'm disappointed - SR3s music was much worse than SR2s (on all stations) and SR4 seems to be making dubstep music a main point *shudders* - I'm not going to be so pissed off that I outright blacklist a developer over it. Yes it sucks major balls that there wont be a metal station but...

    It wasn't THAT bad!

    Whenever we read/hear/watch an opinion piece on a film/game we haven't personally viewed yet we often base our opinion of that film on the piece. However if we eventually do decide to watch/play it we find we have a different view than the one we formed based on that initial review. So pretty...
