    Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Approaches Its End-Game

    No, they knew it was him that wiped out the village; Coulson and May heard that story from the sole remaining agent of that incident. I think they are trying to establish as much as possible before Avengers 2. There's a brief shot of a protest scene in the trailer that Scarlet Witch and...

    Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Is Building Up to Something... But What?

    No, that was [url+http://marvelcinematicuniverse.wikia.com/wiki/Agent_33]Agent 33[/url]. Although, it's still unclear how Bobbi got into HYDRA in the first place. When she initially approached Simmons, she made the very astute point that Simmons never had any loyalty to HYDRA before The...

    Your memory hole

    No way! I though Metallica disappeared after the Black Album.

    Your memory hole

    I'm so glad Square only ever experimented with making a sequel to a Final Fantasy game. FFX-2 was enough.

    Jimquisition: Shadiness of Mordor

    Which is absolutely bizarre. Gollum as he appears in the films - and even voiced by an Andy Serkis sound-a-like - is the game. Hell, they even establish that this takes place not to long before Fellowship.

    Poll: Emma Watson's Speech on Gender Equality

    That's not a definition of a gender role. That's what well-adjusted grown-ups should be doing. You don't need to be masculine or feminine to be supportive or comforting or empathetic.

    Guess what, DRM is now in Coffee

    They're not so much stopping competition as much as they are slowing it down. The scanner's firmware cannot be updated, so it's only a matter of time before off-brand cups and filters start appearing (especially since the patent expired). Also, there are other brand versions of what K-Cup...

    Fun ways to screw with Telephone sales people

    That's true. And I typically try to be nice. Until the third call after I've asked them to remove me from their list.

    What do people actually want male gamers to be like?

    At the very least, not acting like this [http://fatuglyorslutty.com/].

    Participate in a Survey About Gender Diversity in Video Games

    Exactly! It appears that the taker has made some presumptions, which means the results will be flawed. I'm glad I'm not the only catching these.

    Participate in a Survey About Gender Diversity in Video Games

    It's not a poll like you see here on the Escapist. There are a number of sliding scale questions as well as fill-ins. Someone has to correlate all of that before the results can be revealed.

    Participate in a Survey About Gender Diversity in Video Games

    Asks if I would play a character that is a different sexual orientation than mine. Doesn't ask what my sexual orientation is. Has the survey taker made presumptions about the sample? If so, results will be flawed.

    Mojang Joins Microsoft; Founders Notch, Carl, Jakob Leaving

    That doesn't gel with their statement of committing to fully support the game on all platforms. They're still releasing the Vita version. If anything, we can expect more DLC, sure. But feature content updates will continue to be free.

    Mojang Joins Microsoft; Founders Notch, Carl, Jakob Leaving

    Notch didn't own 100% of the company; he shared ownership with at least two other people. He just somehow became the public face of it, possibly because of his appearance in Indie Game: The Movie. He could - and did - step away to do other things and leave all decisions regarding development to...

    Mojang Joins Microsoft; Founders Notch, Carl, Jakob Leaving

    Mincraft's user base is continuing to grow. Ignoring the PS4 and Xbone releases, all other versions combined (as of June of the this year) have sold 54 million copies. Buying Minecraft has given Microsoft a first party title on their competitors' platforms, which means that even with the slow...
