    The Big Picture: The Fall of Kevin Smith

    Kevin Smith didn't fall from anything. His audience is still large enough that he sells out live shows of his multiple podcasts consistently (you know the podcasts that you completely dismissed as the "sometimes" amusing batman podcasts he does in this very video). He fell from grace of the...

    Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Review - Episode 19 "The Only Light In the Darkness"

    I agree. They talk about how he has a psychopathic one track mind for finding his "light." Why would he think "well I just broke out of a prison that suped up my super powers, man I could totally use a disguise right now." Honestly the only villain who has had a costume so far really is Loki...

    The Other Quicksilver Wants To Sell You An Egg Sandwich (Spoilers)

    The two seconds you see of quicksilver in the MCU is more interesting than this. It's sad that Marvel has to come up with a "bastardized" origin for quicksilver and scarlet witch just to get them into their franchise, and the company that can actually do them justice just whores them out for...

    Jimquisition: Sexual Failing

    You used Morrigan pictures a lot in your video, but I feel that Morrigan actually broke the "norm" of the dragon age/mass effect relationships that you were talking about. Sex with Morrigan was not the end-game in your relationship with her in dragon age. Far from it, in fact if Morrigan started...

    What Do You Think of "Kill la Kill"?

    I like the show so far. It feels like a send up of all those other anime whose premise is basically "normal school, except some people have an insane super power." Sort of like how Gurren Lagann was a send up of basically all mecha anime ever. I also like that it also pokes fun at all those...

    Escapist Expo: Game of the Year

    It's on youtube. He does his own Let's plays now. Just search for "Now Bloody Playing Outlast". It's pretty long though, not that cut down version he used for the panel.

    South Park As A Gated Community

    So, a thread about South Park has devolved into a left wing/right wing (or dem/repub) argument five pages in. I can't tell if that is ironic or meta. It's probably neither since I only have a tenuous grasp on what either of those words mean.

    What's your Gaming Philosophy?

    I play games to have fun. The definition of fun differs from game to game, but that is basically why I play games at all. When I play a game like Bioshock, I'm playing it because I like all the little nuanced details and trying to piece together all the parts of the story. When I play a game...

    Well Square, you finally did it... you killed Final Fantasy (A Rant)

    Maybe it's just me but the characters in the OP just look like retreads of FFVII characters. Their outfits to me seem just like the outfits of cloud and the guys who follow you around for the entire game. Noctis = cloud with blue/black hair Guy on the right = Reno (the red haired guy from...

    Just finished "A Dance with Dragons", wanna talk

    wow, there are lots of people here that believe Jon has some sort of cosmic relevance to the story. Why? To me Jon has been basically nothing more than our window into the events north of the wall. The only reason Jon became commander of the Nights Watch was because of Samwell Tarley. Without...

    Just finished "A Dance with Dragons", wanna talk

    Rickon and Osha are believed to be on the island of Skagos. Wyman Manderly faked the death of Davos so that he could go on a mission to find them in exchange for Manderly pledging allegiance to Stannis. I missed it, care to enlighten me? I'm not entirely on the up and up on the prophecy...

    Jimquisition: Dark Souls and Dark Sales

    I think the 6 million sales expectation was for the first month of sales. I could be wrong though.

    EYE: Divine Cybermancy

    The only thing I've ever really heard about this game was from Jim on podtoid, and it sounded really cool but really overwhelming. here's a little animation of him describing it to his podtoid co-hosts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI1BFarGm4Y.
