Is knowledge useless if it helps amaze/astound/amuse people at parties? Well, the most useless knowledge I can think of off the top of my head is that the physical matter of an average human body - all the protons, neutrons and electrons - occupy the same amount of space as a grain of salt...

It isn't really a plot spoiler, and this is beyond the ten year spoiler mark, but about three days before I went to see The Gift, I had it spoiled for me that Katie Holmes got topless...

Having seen this movie (it was released back in February or something here in the UK) I can confirm it is a jump scare free zone (for the most part). I really liked this film. Sure, as the review states, the acting is a bit iffy at times and it does still take place in that horror movie...

Yes, its being hyped, but not necessarily by the studio. I think it was MovieBob who made this point sometime last year in that, thanks to social media, and the 24/7 news stream, everything is constantly being hyped by the fans. Remember when that first Ultron trailer was leaked? Within 24...

Well, truth be told, I feel kinda bad for almost all the characters in Dark Souls. For instance... The one character I have NO sympathy for however is Knight Lautrec. Seriously, fuck that guy. Also, having checked, the fire keeper is Quelaan. Quelana is the one who sells you...

While there have been many moments in games where I've felt bad, as a player and as a character, this section of dark souls did make me feel genuinely bad. Having gone to get the Old Witch's Ring so I could talk to Quelaag's sister (is that one Quelaana?) I just feel absolutely terrible when...

Well, to be honest, I cant see how the show runners are going to handle most of the storylines (the new ones that is) from books 4 and 5. Sure, it looks like season six is going to be 'the greyjoy season' (since - from the casting anyway - season five is going to be 'the martell season' though...

Is it April First already..?

I actually stuck with it for quite a bit longer than that, up until the TPB vol 13, otherwise known as the big Fables Crossover event, otherwise known as the big fuck you to everyone reading it. I actually quite liked the idea of the new main villian they introduced, but then, just as his...

I just saw this today, and it was honestly, the biggest pile of wank I have seen in a looooong time. One dimensional characters, none of whom you can give a shit about, dull action scenes that happen for no reason, zero backstory on anything, and a "comedic" scene halfway through where a bunch...

We don't NEED to recast Indiana Jones. Because we don't NEED any more Indiana Jones movies. Lets just movie on man. Raiders of the Lost Ark was awesome. Last Crusade was a damn good sequel. Everything else with the Indiana Jones name on it has sucked donkey balls.

Nah, I feel like the show's time has long since passed. Like most other shows running at the time, this series was absolutely crippled by the writers strike. I can't think of a single show that I enjoyed watching at the time that came out of that unscathed (though it did mean that House got...

It happens. I'm 35 now, and I didn't really get back into gaming until I got a ps3 about five years ago. Sure, I played the odd low requirement pc game, things like Civilization and StarCraft, but getting a console is really what sucked me in. And for a while it was fun. Kinda what ruined...

Every so often I come around to the idea that I should check tablets out, y'know, to get with the times grandad, and all that jazz. But I'll go and look at them, the hideous little things, and I realise that, for me, they would serve literally no purpose. I don't use social networking, I don't...

I used to preorder a lot of games "back in the day", but thats when I worked at a game retailer, and got a significant staff discount, and back then I was a sucker for a special edition (read: idiot). Sure, I'll pay an extra ten quid for a big plastic batarang and an art book, why not? Since...
