    Warhammer 40,000 Conquest Core Set Review

    Fortunately you won't have to buy this one from GW. Typically Fantasy Flight's LCG core sets are $40 at full price. I just checked amazon and they're even listing Conquest as several dollars cheaper than that.

    Escapist Podcast - Movies and TV: 019: The Worst TV Series Endings Of All Time

    I'll be the anime fan saying that the ending of Evangelion works. The shows ending is a really great summation and resolution of the themes and character arcs. When we get into End of Evangelion it gets a little fuzzier, but I've always appreciated that the director slightly elaborated on what...

    Is it time for feminists to step off our hobby?

    No it isn't, and that's a stupid question.

    The Big Picture: E3-mageddon: Crossover

    Wow, we're going right to MGS4? The game where Snake and his male life partner adopt a daughter together? The one where chronic back pain is a gameplay mechanic? Hey, if that's what passes as a macho power fantasy for you, I think that's very progressive. More power to you.

    The Big Picture: E3-mageddon: Crossover

    Yeah, considering that each one has gotten more esoteric, goofy, political, and melodramatic, if you were primarily playing them as a macho power fantasy, I'm fairly certain you were doing it wrong.

    The Big Picture: E3-mageddon: Crossover

    Metal Gear? What? Yeah, nothing gets the testosterone pumping like being lectured for 10 minutes about how governments are failing their citizens by improperly disposing of nuclear waste! OH YEAH!

    Escape to the Movies: Muppets Most Wanted - Not Easy Being Green

    That was the green goblin? I thought it was Feyd-Rautha with warts on his face.

    WHITE GUY DEFENSE FORCE GO!

    Question: Is white guy Beta's hover hand mode an intentional reference to the Mr. N character in Divekick, or is it just an awesome coincidence?

    Morrigan's ritual in Dragon Age Origins(spoilers)

    Did that many people really kill Liliana? In like 6 playthroughs, neither me or my fiance ever defiled the ashes. Their never seems like a really good reason to do so.

    Morrigan's ritual in Dragon Age Origins(spoilers)

    In my playthrough I performed Morrigan's ritual, with myself as the male participant. My main reasoning points for doing it were, 1. MY CHARACTER can't die because everyone else in Ferelden is a vindictive moron and if I'm not around to fix their problems the world will probably go right to hell...

    Escape to the Movies: Pacific Rim

    It's kind of weird to see so many comparisons being drawn to Evangelion with Pacific Rim. I'm basically one of the biggest Eva fans ever, and the comparison never even occurred to me until someone pointed it out, I think largely because the whole "giant robots fighting aliens and they neural...

    Escape to the Movies: Iron Man 3

    I actually really liked the villain's motivation, both as a "this is what Tony would have been without his wake-up call in the first movie" thing, and maybe because the Metal Gear games have made "controlling both sides of a war largely just to be a dick to this one guy who pissed me off, and...

    Escape to the Movies: Spring Breakers

    Guys, guys I have a crazy theory. What if... movies and games.... are about things?

    The Big Picture: Enough With The Batman Already!

    I would be happy to see them do to Batman what they did in New Frontier. Set the story as taking place over a few years and subtly signal that he's changing from grimdark batman into fun, genre-mixing Batman with just a few scenes of characterization.

    Skylanders Reaches $500 Million in Record Time

    Agreed. Also having your "save file" as a little colorful figure you can display in the living room is one of the neatest things ever. I would loooooovvveeee if they did a Super Smash Brothers style game like this, similar execution to skylanders, but with previously existing characters to have...
