    Escape to the Movies: The Maze Runner - Where's a Minotaur When You Need One?

    How long has Bob been adding scores? Did I somehow utterly miss that last week? It seems I did. Why are there scores? I dont see them adding anything here. Any review show I watched on TV would have the review, then show a short scene from the movie. It's very common in my experience...

    Anita Sarkeesian + Hitman Absolution = Epic Fail

    That isn't how hitman games work, they don't really pose moral questions, you're a clone made to be the perfect assassin. Morality is only there to make you feel less guilty about all the fantastic and creative ways you're about to murder a bunch of people. Not at all, they are in the way...

    Anita Sarkeesian + Hitman Absolution = Epic Fail

    I have played Absolution, there are many times when the game offers me a solution to my problem and even encourages me to use it, when that option makes my score go down. There is for many events in that game nothing but practical upsides, where the score may go down, but the action is...

    Escapist = Illuminati??

    Don't we all? Should I be worried about that?

    They seem to have made it private, which does raise a few questions.

    Guise of the Wolf Dev Takes Down Negative YouTube Review - Update 2

    Yes, that or all their accounts were hijacked and their website compromised, and the people themselves unable to send any kind of message about the situation.

    Australia Uses Harsh Graphic Novel To Ward Off Refugees

    Which is why we let almost all of them in. We treat them like shit with at best questionable legal standing for what we do and then once the paperwork is done its decided they should be let in in spite of our attempts to keep them out.

    The Big Picture: Why Robocop Still Rules

    That's really an issue on your end isn't it? And I don't see how that connects to his thoughts on Robocop. Having seen the movie and hearing what he likes about the old one, I'd be shocked if he had an overall positive opinion of the film.

    The Banner Saga Sequel Proceeding Despite Trademark Dispute

    From what I have heard from lawyers, it's completely untrue that they need to sue everybody.

    Jimquisition: The Saga Scrolls: Edge of Candy

    It seems that King doesn't currently hold a trademark for the word "saga", they are applying for it. If true then in this case they kinda do need to go after anybody using it, because it undermines their claim (for entirely obvious and valid reasons, in my uneducated opinion).

    Jimquisition: The Saga Scrolls: Edge of Candy

    How does MTG do that, outside the fact its a TCG? Consoles are expensive to make, they normally take years to make their money back. The PS3 for example was released in late 2006, but Sony only started to make money for selling them in early 2010. Consoles themselves spend most of their time...

    Jimquisition: Joy Begets Anger

    That's not what her video series is about.

    Devs May Be "Waiving Their Rights" By Allowing YouTube Gameplay Video

    When it comes to youtube that is how almost everything is done. But you are correct in pointing out that it is a mistake on my part to think only in terms of US law. You're right and I shouldn't have phrased myself such that I was implying this material couldn't be found to be infringement...

    Devs May Be "Waiving Their Rights" By Allowing YouTube Gameplay Video

    Commentary is explicitly fair use. "for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright" Emphasis mine. As I said telling people or allowing people to do X does make it...

    Devs May Be "Waiving Their Rights" By Allowing YouTube Gameplay Video

    "Posting video clips without the copyright owners' permission is copyright infringement," Except that's not true, fair use is a thing that exists and these clips almost always fall under it, even if close to the edge. Furthermore its incredibly hard to lose the ability to protect your...
