    Even the Floor Hates the New Dante

    That actually sounds like a fantastic idea

    Even the Floor Hates the New Dante

    I'll take new skinny, emo front-man Dante over the old insufferable tool Dante any day. I've never liked the series because I've always hate-hate-haaaaated Dante as a character (personality, design, everything), but I might actually give this a try.

    Escape to the Movies: The Thing

    Nostalgia or not, the new Thing just isn't very good. What made the 1982 version enjoyable was the intense sense of suspicion and paranoia that it evoked. No one could properly trust anyone else because any one of them could be a monster in disguise. Even the main character wasn't above...

    Rage Cuts Single-Player When You Buy It Used

    True, but Facebook and iPod has brought all sorts of non gamers into the fold and these games offered are ENTIRELY digital in their distribution. In that sense, these more "casual" gamers have been conditioned from the beginning to be perfectly comfortable with downloading a game as opposed to...

    Rage Cuts Single-Player When You Buy It Used

    The way I see it, most of these discussions will be irrelevant by the next (true) console generation anyways. Direct Download is already becoming the norm on PC, and Microsoft and Sony have been testing these waters for a while with their ever increasing XBL marketplace and Playstation Network...

    Zombieland director's next film based off an actual murder in 2003.

    Yeah... I don't know how to properly convey sarcasm via text, but that post was supposed to be tongue in cheek. Further up we actually mentioned Four Lions. Now THAT is a good dark comedy. It takes something people are legitimately terrified of (far more so than they should be) and turns it on...

    Zombieland director's next film based off an actual murder in 2003.

    Yeah, thats always possible, though the trailer does seem to be giving a very straight forward blow-by-blow of what we can expect. It very clearly gives us the premise (stoner screw-up gets bomb strapped to chest by criminal screw-ups and has to rob a bank before the bomb blows) and, as I've...

    Zombieland director's next film based off an actual murder in 2003.

    I wouldn't call this a black comedy. Judging from the trailers they are playing this for laughs, and not trying to portray any real sense of tragedy or even danger. If anything, this would be more along the line of Dead Baby Comedy (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeadBabyComedy) but...

    Zombieland director's next film based off an actual murder in 2003.

    Everyone knows you have to wait a minimum of ten years before something tragic can be funny. The guy got 2 years ahead of himself.

    Zombieland director's next film based off an actual murder in 2003.

    Here is the trailor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLTxqrWaEH8&feature=related And here is the wiki entry about the actual event: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Wells_(bank_robber) What's kinda fucked up is that in the trailer, you can clearly see that he is delivering the pizza to...

    Zombieland director's next film based off an actual murder in 2003.

    For those of you unaware of the more tasteless side of Ruben Fleischer's sense of humor. In summary, Mr. Fleischer is using a horrible true event in which a man was kidnapped, had a bomb strapped to his neck, and then told to rob a bank within the hour or else it would blow as the basis for...

    BioWare Asks Fans About Showing Tali's Face in Mass Effect 3

    I literally jumped at the chance to romance Tali JUST to see what she looked like (after all, she'd HAVE to take the suit of when the two "got busy", so to speak) and then they pull the biggest cop-out I've ever seen. Haha, I was so mad I didn't go back to the game for nearly a week. I even...

    Trailers: Batman: Arkham City: Catwoman

    Okay, yeah. Forget Batman. I want them to just make a Catwoman game now. If the info is correct, there will apparently be playable Catwoman sections. These sections are "optional" but expand Catwoman's side of the story and what she is doing in Arkham, and will be unlocked by the player...

    BioWare Trims Mass Effect 3 Squad to Focus on Deeper Relationships

    I gotta be honest, I don't think I'm even going to buy Mass Effect 3. And this is from someone who has bought and played everything BioWare has produced in the last ten years. Borrow it from one of my friends? Sure. But I'm not making an investment this time unless it can be proven to be an...
