    The Big Picture: She-Hulk Shaming

    She-Hulk is a cool character. But She-Hulk alone can't carry a movie. Why? Because her most interesting fights are usually as a part of a team. And the villains she fights solo usually are not that interesting on their own. Can She-Hulk be a great addition to the next Hulk movie sure...

    Dark Souls 2: Not as hard as people claim?

    The difficulty of the Souls series is from the punishment of player mistakes. Not blocking, running away, or healing when you're supposed to do so. A perfect example of this is killing the tutorial boss Vanguard in Demon's Souls. The Vanguard is supposed to kill you. But if you play it right...

    Dark Souls II Hi-Fidelity Screenshots Removed From Steam

    I played the beta on PS3. I was sad to see the downgrade visually. But I'm not sad that the game isn't as dark. Torches sound cool in concept, but it made using bows nearly impossible because you have to two-hand bows. And there's still a super dark Tomb of the Giant like area in the game...

    Poll: Are Audiobooks Shameful?

    The ASoIaF audio books done by Roy Dotrice are so good. And I've never mispronounced Baratheon as Bara-theon.

    Miracle of Sound: Fires Far (Dark Souls II Song)

    This song is amazing and playing the melody of You Died at the end was just perfect. Really, great work.

    Jimquisition: The Wacky Harassment Blame Parade

    We know this already jim. But as fellow users/consumers/customers, we have no direct power to moderate a "community." If someone were to "troll" this thread all I could do is click the report button and move on. If the mods don't do anything it isn't like I have the agency to make things...

    Blizzard's Hearthstone vs Mojang's Scrolls

    Hearthstone is a super casual version of Magic of the Gathering; there are no phases during your turn, you automatically get mana, there's a max limit of how mana you get, a max number of minions (creatures) you can have and on and on. And to top it off there's a mode that let's you build...

    What's your favorite video game of all time?

    Phantom Dust for the Xbox. I love that game. Think Soul Caliber X Magic the Gathering. After that would be Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes, and KUF: Crusaders along with Magic the Gathering Battlegrounds and Demon's Souls.

    Let's Talk About the Ending of Frozen

    They foreshadowed Hans being evil. But they do it in a way that has never been done in a Disney movie so you don't see it coming. Most Disney villains wear dark colors speak in manner that conveys the intent to deceive; he does none of that save for one scene in the whole movie. In the...

    New LCS Contract Forbids Streaming Dota 2, Blizzard Games

    Sorry but the simple act of playing a game is promotion when the game is in beta and inaccessible to the thousands of people watching you play it. I didn't even know Heartstone existed until I started seeing on LoL streams. Is it really surprising that Riot doesn't want other companies to...

    Escape to the Movies: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

    I don't think it's fair to compare Hunger Games to other actions movies though; it's a drama most of the conflict is not combat related at all. But I went to see the second movie without watching the first I was aware of the plot. I enjoyed the story of a person essentially being thrust...

    You can choose one super power, what will it be?

    Infinite knowledge A couple of other people have mentioned similar concepts but not stated it as clearly. Infinite knowledge could effectively become omnipotence. It's the power to know how to do and make anything you could possibly imagine.

    Sexy "Power Armor", am I 'juvenile' for liking it? (a response to recent Kill La Kill concepts)

    Nothing is ever truly juvenile. The only thing I would point out that is it's best to have a consistent aesthetic in any one piece or album. Don't be like TERA where women are in bikin armor but the men are in the sturdiest of sturdy plate armor. It's your art do what you will but...

    2013 And Racism in America?

    Apparently still alive and well. Summary two young women of black ethnicity were unable to join any sorority on their campus of University of Alabama for the sole reason that they were black. I really hope this story is fake I want it to be fake but with so many picking it up. I have...
