    The Big Picture: You Are Wrong About Pickle Rick

    I watched Rick and Morty for 2 seasons and was luke warm about it. It's wonderfully creative and entertaining. But I found the pitch black nihilism that Rick espouses and that the show validates to be insufferable. Bob and others will claim Rick gets his comeupance but the Pickle Rick episode is...

    The Big Picture: Secret Crisis

    Easy 1 sentence ret-con: His Magnetic powers also affects his aging process like Wolverine's healing factor does.

    The Big Picture: Dinosaur Exodus

    Chernobyl Parrots. Sounds like we got the next Sharknado in the horizon.

    Zero Punctuation: Sunset Overdrive - Trying Too Hard?

    It felt like the Wildstar trailers. Too self aware and wacky to the point where you face palmed. Let's compare Wildstar and Sunset Overdrive with . . . Farcry Blood dragon or the Team Fortress "Meet the . . ." videos. Both of them were funny as hell. Mainly because for all of the absurdity...

    The Big Picture: Schlocktober 2014: Bloodfreak

    I thought the same thing. The coughing fit at the end made me go - Okay no one's dumb enough to intentionally leave in a coughing fit of a dude smoking cigarettes while talking of the dangers of the agricultural industry and drug use. Then again I remember a dude that chain smoked, was in PETA...

    The Big Picture: Everything Means Something

    What's funny is I haven't demonized anyone. I'm pointing out that every corner of society has people that stigmatizes "low income schizophrenics" and those elements are not exclusive to feminism. Sorry bud but when you tie "whiny bitches" "upper middle class" and "low income" in the same...

    The Big Picture: Everything Means Something

    You weren't using schizophrenia to make any good points. You just used it as an appeal to pity and to peg some group with a strawman about how extreme their views were. If you want a few facts about my comments on HR and society then here: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/542517 Believe...

    The Big Picture: Everything Means Something

    You could peg that to any group. Hey why should these professional guys allow me to speak? After all I'm "crazy". "Those whiny bitches" Really? You come off like you need someone to lash at and conveniently ,the geek community has a lot of cheap vitriol reserved for those evil feminists...

    Zero Punctuation: Daikatana - John Romero's B****

    I vividly remember photos of "Not Released Yet" signs on the betseller racks where Daikatana would soon sit. It may have been the power of preorders but seriously looked like counting the chickens before they hatch.

    The Big Picture: Dumbsday, Part 1 - The Death of Superman

    I'd beg to differ about Captain America. Captain America and Superman are more or less idealistically the same. Figures of such absolute good that their character arcs aren't about them changing but getting others to change thanks to them. Sure one's only human and the other THE Superman...

    The Big Picture: The Fall of Kevin Smith, Part II

    I vaguely remember MovieBob saying Clerks II was a good throwback or summing up of Silent Bob's career. It'll probably be from after that point that things drop off.

    The Big Picture: Nothing Gold Can Stay - The Most Bizarre Episode of Transformers

    Wow, I remember this episode in particular. The more introspective transformer and his somber "We won" stood out to me. But seeing it as an adult, I realize why. I'd have to say the fact that people who grew up watching Transformers remember this episode in particular says something about...

    The Big Picture: E3-mageddon: Crossover

    I love the Big Picture series. I even found the different perspectives, or lampooning of, to be kind of interesting. Your commentary has always had a solid degree of insight but inserting sketches and role playing to it . . . I'm not feeling it. For the love of God, please never do this...

    Escape to the Movies: Godzilla - Breaking Kaiju

    Just watched it too. It was DECENT, not great but not bad. Bob's absolutely right about the Transformers thing. I wanted to see more of the monsters not Lieutenant Hurt Locker White Bread. Ford Mustang did a decent job and I did like his character a bit. But it's hard not to considering...

    Escape to the Movies: Transcendence - SkyNet? More Like SkyNot

    So what we can take from this review is that the Ghost in the Shell series still reigns supreme as the best exploration of sentience, AI and technology.
