My favorite three IP's of this generation, in alphabetical order since I haven't been able to put them in any other order yet. Assassins Creed Bioshock Mass Effect

I'm sorry, but I just have never managed to grasp why people think bringing up "bias" is any kind of an argument when you're talking about reviews. You're watching a video on one man's opinion of the top movies of the year, if you want a review aggregation there are several websites where you...

I don't see how that's particularly relevant here. They specifically showed torture as being part of what lead to tracking down OBL, and it appears that simply isn't accurate. That it may have potentially lead to useful information in other cases doesn't make it justifiable to shoehorn it in...

I'm an atheist and really didn't have a problem with the twist or the message. If people want to believe in a deity because the notion is more comforting to them then that's fine with me, I don't begrudge them that.

Speaking as someone who: A) Has owned 11 gaming systems in my lifetime (5 made by Nintendo no less), 12 if you count keeping a gaming PC up to date. B) Is, frankly, too old to place any personal emotional stock in which game company vying for my money "wins" a given generation. I have...

Does anyone else get the same vibe from people saying Clerks is Smith's best work that you get from people who drop bands they previously liked as soon as they get any kind of mainstream success? Dogma's the better movie, and the arguments made for Dogma in the video are far more convincing IMO.

This might be the most I've ever agreed with one of your positions. Sometimes it genuinely seems like game companies are going out of their way to make it more difficult to enjoy playing games, to say nothing of the obvious ways that they go out of their way to squeeze every last dime out of...

THANK YOU Man, I can't begin to explain how much of a relief it is for someone in the gaming media to address the criticism of the Mass Effect 3 ending and not just cast it aside as people whining for a "happy" ending. Really, really nice to see someone actually listen to the substance of...

I absolutely agree with more or less everything Bob has said here, particularly that this movie not living up to the legacy of the original trilogy is simply not something worth maintaining a grudge about. Having said that, I can't get on board with the idea that The Phantom Menace never had...

Wait wait wait, back up a minute. Did Bob just call Seven "schlock" and imply that Zodiac was on a par in terms of quality with Fight Club and The Social Network? Ummm, wtf?

Here's my problem with something like Infinity Blade in particular and games designed for phones in general: they make the battery run out faster, sometimes much faster. Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I kind of need to have my phone available and my job doesn't always give me the...

Why exactly is it a foregone conclusion that Nintendo's next console will dominate sales like the Wii has? The Gamecube if memory serves had a Mario game, a Zelda game, a Metroid game, a Smash Bros game, and was generally a pretty big failure. It's not even as if we're talking about ancient...

There's a pretty simple answer to this, namely that most of those other religions and/or philosophies don't have the same reputation for proselytizing that Christianity has. At least in this country anyway. So when a movie includes elements from a religion that the viewer isn't particularly...

Incidentally for the non-sports fans out there, do yourselves a favor and learn to fake it. I'm genuinely interested in the NFL, college basketball, science fiction, video games, and history. Take a stab at which of those things are the easiest to start up a conversation about. Having a...
