I think these are all too new to be considered 'classic', but Kill La Kill and Psycho Pass are, to be fair, rather good shows. Captain Earth isn't even finished airing, and I strongly doubt it will be remembered at all, let alone as a classic. It's decent, and it's got a cool (if wildly...

Precisely this. I often download the first two or three episodes of a show, then never even get through them. They go straight into the trash, and I trot back to the torrents to see if there's a different series that suits my taste. The fact that I didn't like one show should be of no...

You nailed it. That's exactly what Ubisoft is doing. They are paying off professional game journalists, who rely on their credibility and reputations for their livelihood, with t-shirts and hats. Presumably those shirts and hats are worth a few millions dollars each, because once a journalist is...

As a twenty-something geek, I'm exactly the right age to have my nostalgia repackaged and resold like this. However, I suspect the movie will be one of thee things: 1) A bland, semi-decent but quickly-forgotten bit of action fluff. 2) Jaw-droppingly horrible. Full of bad writing, worse...

That would be because Splice was actually a darn good movie. The female protagonist made mistakes, but they were due to deep psychological issues, not a lousy script. They were also recognized and criticized by the other characters, rather than being overlooked by everyone else in the movie...

Wearable computers, preferably with holographic technology. I want flexible, waterproof screens, fully immersive light-projection holograms, and all manner of fancy business that makes me feel like I'm living smack in the middle of '20 Years From Now'.

I think it says exactly what the replies indicate: that to most readers, race genuinely isn't an issue. If someone has written a good book, the reader tends not to care what the author looks like. Some authors are highly publicized (Stephen King springs to mind), and readers are familiar with...

It's actually not doing badly. The US ratings have definitely declined, but the worldwide ratings are decent. Five million viewers weekly is nothing to sniff at. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agents_of_SHIELD#Ratings

Agreed, they're definitely stuck working with the source material. It just seems like using Gokaiger made things a bit more complicated. 2013's Sentai series, Kyoryuger, used dinosaurs again. That'll be next year's PR series (Dino Charge). It seems far easier to explain using dinosaurs than...

I don't remember which team the Yellow Ranger used when she called it 'Blitz', but I know Pink was using Flashman when she busted out the big glowing boots. I haven't been watching Super Megaforce -- did they ever give a reason for all the skulls, crossbones, cutlasses and general pirate-themed...

This. SO MUCH of this. Didn't Robert Downey Jr prove that a superhero doesn't have to be 19? How about Edward Norton? Mark Ruffalo? Basically the ENTIRE cast of Avengers? I'm fine with Spider-Man being a teenager, but Reed Richards has always been older. It's one of the things that makes his...

Don't worry too much. For a PG-13, the violence is surprisingly intense, though not as gory as the original. It's a darn decent movie.

I'm in the opposite camp from the OP. In spite of the original book having some great ideas, I found it to be messy, poorly-paced, and in desperate need of a rewrite. (The author has stated that he wrote the book as he thought of it, which explains the floppy structure.) Conversely, I thought...

Actually, only the Chicken & Waffles ones were bad. The other two were quite tasty.

I honestly can't tell whether this article is meant to be serious or sarcastic. If it's sarcastic, then it deserves nothing more than a weary eye-roll before moving on to more relevant and useful conversations. If it's serious, then Yahtzee has just posted the stupidest, least self-aware, most...
