The term "anime" denotes origin, not quality or style. The notion of an anime "look" is a myth; there is no singular visual style for anime. Just compare One Piece to Cowboy Bebop. The argument that Avatar qualifies as anime because of its Eastern influence ignores the Korean, Chinese and Inuit...

Very good points. It's true that many of our instinctive responses ignore what is rationally apparent to an informed observer. However, I believe there is an important distinction between Batman and 50 Shades, which while it doesn't detract from Shamus' argument it does leave 50 Shades open...

It's not funny because it's a good idea, it's a terrible idea. It's funny because these characters are convinced that such a terrible idea is a good idea and that such "genius" risks assassination.

So, GMG has codes purchased from undisclosed, yet legitimate retailers. Perhaps the retailers are approved, but the purchases may not be legit. The digital game code marketplace is rife with fake codes and codes purchased with stolen credit cards. We may never know for sure, but I wouldn't put...

Why aren't they basing it on Star Tours? They better put some wookiees or something on the flight. I'm not interested in flying on a Star Wars jet if all of the other passengers are human.

Brainstorming session: So, how about Bruce Wayne joins the GCPD working his was to commissioner, Gordon becomes mayor, Alfred runs Wayne Enterprises. Some young boy genius becomes robin, but in the form a powersuit wearing sidekick. On topic: So where's Bruce?

Well, this will help me with ads on my phone. I've been supporting my favorite channels with Patreon, but I can't afford to give $1 every month to EVERY channel I'm subscribed to. I'll have to see what the ad-free rates will be and what content creators get out of it. If the creators get a good...

It will be hard for most of the X-men movie audience to adjust to anybody else as Wolverine on-screen, especially if they go bring him closer to the guy most comic readers know him as.

Looks bland. I doubt anybody will ever surpass Clancy Brown's animated Luthor in my mind, but this shot is underwhelming and completely devoid of personality. Intensity =/= personality.

Ah, Rick. Truly the goalpost of both brilliance and madness.

Allow me to make a stronger argument for Reinhard von Lohengramm:

I wish I had picked up a retail copy when the price had been down to $25. I was in the beta, but I couldn't justify $60+$15/month, that's basically my gaming budget anytime other than Black Friday.

This seems to be mistakenly fatalistic. Maintaining the playability of old games IS difficult, but it is hardly without a future. Perhaps this article is deliberately goading people to prove him wrong. There are enough resourceful, innovative nostalgics among gamers to find the means to...

The Escapist staff is probably still hungover from yesterday's festivities. They may not notice this for awhile.

I like the way it was addressed in Agent Carter.
