    Two Witcher 3 Expansions Announced By CD Projekt Red

    well, there goes there philosphy against payed DLC... i guess any company, however good they may seem, can get dollar signs in their eyes.

    No Right Answer: Subbing Vs. Dubbing

    subbing period. i'm not from an english speaking country so i watched a lot of stuff with subtitles growing up. subbing is so much better because the original performance of the actors is intact, the rythm is better and the lips say the correct words! it draws you out of the experience so much...

    i'm not big on the open world thing, but MY GOD did this trailer give me goosebumbs all over! i've been a big fan of the series since day 1 and i can't wait for this third part :D

    No Right Answer: Is Going to Space Worth It?

    this was the worst no right answer episode i've ever seen. i've never seen less informed arguments than this. for a moment i thought i was watching fox news. it was just cringinly bad to watch. my science heart still aches... i also agree that this episode has the wrong name. they're not...

    No Right Answer: Is Game of Thrones Overrated?

    i understand the points you make chris, they're very valid. however, i still like this show despite those flaws. first off, yes the sex scenes are stupid and unnescesarry. second, about the names and big cast of characters that's hard to follow. i've never experienced it as that confusing. (i...

    No Right Answer: Most Uninteresting Game Genre

    hmm, kyle's argument is kind of invalid when talking about arcade racers... this was a onesided battle in my opinion :p

    Magic: The Gathering - The Movie in The Works at Fox

    i hope they're making a movie about the multiverse and the stories that happen in there instead of a 'it's time to duel!' style yu-gi-oh movie. it's risky but if done correctly, i would actually welcome a live-action movie or animation set in the fictional world of MAGIC.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Review - Episode 11: The Magical Place

    this series is kind of losing my attention. they started of good and did some good world building. but now i want some answers to all the unanswered questions or mysteries they throw in every now and then into the overall narative. ofcourse a show like this needs some mystery, but too many...

    Escape to the Movies: The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

    in both those cases it's less pronounced. (i haven't read the books, only seen the movies btw) i always thought of the magic in LOTR lore as less visual and 'fireball in your face' stuff. saruman en gandalf battle is almost comical, haha! two old men swinging each other around. balrog was also...

    Escape to the Movies: The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

    hmm, seems like i'm in the minority that prefered the first hobbit movie over the second. the whole 'gandalf goes harry potter wizard battle on your ass scene' was also completely unnecessary and felt out of place to me. btw, if anyone reads this that hasn't seen the movie yet, i think the...

    Escapist News Now: Elder Scrolls Online Subscription Model

    aaaand another mmo that's removed off my list :(. after wildstar and ffXIV the elder scrolls online also falls to monthly fees. i did see this coming from miles away for TESO but still makes me sad. i really hate monthly subscription fees for games, they make you feel like you're obliged to play...
