One thing I've never heard anyone say in these discussions before (although I doubt I'm the first to think of it) is biological/habitat based barriers. For instance: imagine a nearby planet with hyper-intelligent dolphins. Space travel, radio, and electronics would all be very difficult...

You know Bob, I can tell you love this movie more than you feel you should. You kept slipping into your native accent.

I've started considering the discussion of cute animal pictures to be nearly as important to a complete Podcat as food talk. In fact, I half expect the video to have a montage of them in the corner or something.

You know what I think the real coup of Sony's early reveal is? Pax East. Think about it: Microsoft must either launch a similar conference (which will look desperate), reveal at Pax East (a much smaller event), or allow Sony to be the star of Pax East. All Sony needs to do is reveal three...

I'll just say to note my avatar; it serves me well. Also, it's nice to see Candlejack get some

That was awesome. I just don't know how Uve Boll escaped unscathed.

I think Sony doesn't quite realize that Backward compatibility is a huge system seller for new consoles. After a few years the back catalog doesn't matter nearly so much because all the early adopters have their backward compatible system and newcomers don't often care. The Vita seems to be a...

Gonzo is funny enough to make up for a lack of a real joke.

I've known this was a problem for a while now but I think the real indicator is that I saw a review on Game Trailers that had nothing - NOTHING - nice to say about a game (I forget what it was) and summarized with a 5.1 as the score. You tell me if this review makes any sense at all: This game...

Shawshank Redemption or 1408. Green Mile is arguable.

Of course there will be cheap knock-offs of My Little Pony. Fun fact though: Hasbro decided to put effort into this series because Michael Bay's "Transformers" went over so well.

If you wind up reviewing the new Underworld movie, just remember: it isn't likely to be the worst vampires and werewolves movie this year.

It was a reference to the 2008 US presidential campaign. Obama claimed he had been to 57 states and had one left.
