    So the recent controversy about Channel Awesome mismanagement

    It's strange... Nostalgia Critic was my jam back in the day; I watched every episode he put out, and through his crossovers branched out to Spoony, Linkara, Angry Joe, etc... And then, for some reason, I just... stopped. The only CA contributor I watch these days is Nash, because his and...

    Zero Punctuation: A Way Out

    He does, actually. They do Let's Play's [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fJYOgn6ffc] together on YouTube.

    So is the Escapist dead?

    I suppose that'll be when Yahtzee stops getting paid by the site, and goes Jimdependent.

    Squadron 42 gameplay footage

    Hate to rain on your parade, but if it sounds too good to be true, it's probably because it is too good to be true. I'll just repeat the same thing that's been said a thousand times already: the game is 6 years into development (the kickstarter was in 2012, and Chris Roberts claimed that dev...

    Justice League - There Is No Justice Here

    One of Darkseid's sidekicks. I mostly remember him as some poor schmuck that gets offed as part of a DCAU Justice League cold-open. ... yeah, not the kind of character I'd have used as the BBEG of the Justice League-movie.

    Justice League - There Is No Justice Here

    Yeah, it'll have to pull Avengers-numbers to break even. That seems unlikely, given DC/WB track record.

    8 Zero Punctuation Videos You Should Have Already Watched By Now

    I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be: "Wolfenstein may give at least some joie de vivre [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joie_de_vivre] but otherwise don't bother." Really, this list just makes me wonder if it isn't time for Yahtzee to dump the Escapist and start up a Patreon. He's...

    The Season Pass Hate

    Here's one thing I haven't seen mentioned yet: if you buy the Season Pass for a Multiplayer game, you run the additional risk of having commited to paying for extra content for a game... that might never even get made, because the games playerbase dies off before all the stuff is even out.

    Poll: Alien 3 or Alien: Resurrection

    I'd say... skip both. But if you're being held at gunpoint, and the only way to escape a bullet-lobotomy is to watch one of them... I'd say Alien 3 is the better movie, although I kind of enjoy watching Resurrection just to point out all the ways it resembles a prototype of Joss Whedon's Firefly.

    Warhammer 40k 8th Edition Announced - What could possibly go wrong?!

    Sounds a lot like comics industry right now, actually.

    Warhammer 40k 8th Edition Announced - What could possibly go wrong?!

    https://warhammer40000.gw-hub.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/New-Edition-of-40K-FAQ.pdf Both of these suggest that the rules won't be free... and considering Age of Sigmar was "intended to be played with scenarios in mind, not pitted battles", and then conveniently placed all the...

    Warhammer 40k 8th Edition Announced - What could possibly go wrong?!

    That's just the Necrons. They got redesigned from Terminators to Space-Robot-Mumies.

    I may not read Marvel Comics, or any comics for that matter...

    And meanwhile, I'm just sitting here, reading Kingdom. ... is it just me, or do manga (or at least the good ones) have more coherent plots, on account of not being intended to be written in perpetuity? I mean, when a story is intended to be ongoing until the day the earth falls into the...
