Hey! Bob's back on the Escapist! Sort of. not really. Hey Bob! Also dig Adult Aang.

But is it in violation of The Shadow Proclamation? Because I suspect space law trumps it in this case.

Yep. I've had slightly better luck with DA:I it seems. My character still looked way different once the game started, but she sort of came out as a brunette Amy Poehler. So not bad really.

Yeah, just gonna have to say I disagree with her. It's about subverting the whole "Princess seeks prince" trope by setting it up that way, but the most important relationship revolves around the sisters. Pretty straightforward really, not sure where she's coming from. BUT! I can sort of agree...

As far fetched as it is, I would be up for anything that gets Sam Rockwell back in the MCU. I can only dream about him piloting the Iron Man suit.

Pretty much this. Further, things like nerd or gamer are just arbitrary labels. They don't matter in any meaningful way. They only exist as a means of a quick reference of "I like medieval fantasy" or "I enjoy video games". Worrying to what degree that applies to you is putting the cart...

Christ, every time now an article mentions, "Hey, it would be cool if we had more games that featured characters besides the usual straight white dude" it's immediately met with "BUT MUH ARTISTIC INTEGRITY" or "STOP FORCING THIS ON DEVELOPERS" Yeah, because that is exactly what's happening...

This is pretty high up there on my "disgusted with society" chart. The founder might believe he's showing people reality but he's mostly just profiting off of people's worst voyeuristic instincts. But Ferris Bueller's Day Off is the touchstone for this? How the hell does that mesh with street...

And here I was excited for the opportunity to build a custom deck for a change, only to discover that a whole slew of cards are going to gated off unless I fork out cash. Maybe this shouldn't be such a surprise considering it's exactly the TCG model but...come on! They're DIGITAL...

I would take it over the current flood of white, slightly-grizzled men. The one that isn't trying to cover it's butt?

It sounds like Shadow of the Colossus by way of Zelda bosses, and I am completely on board with that.

The rumored shortlist is McKay, Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland, Gangster Squad), and Rawson Thurber (We're the Millers, Dodgeball). McKay is indeed the best option here, just PLEEAAAASE don't let it be Thurber.

Isn't that basically their tagline at this point? "DC comics, because we're convinced the only way a man can relate to a woman is through cleavage."

The problem with that attitude is that it basically ignores societal context and punishes those trying to call out bigoted behavior, while giving the bigots a pass. Extreme example; if someone burns a cross on a black man's lawn it's pretty obvious what the implication is there without anybody...

So Batman vs. Superman seems like an increasingly inaccurate title. We've got Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, now Cyborg, and rumors of The Flash and Green Lantern. When do they break down and just say "screw it, we're making Justice League"?
