    Sony to Create a "Universe" of Robin Hood Movies

    Can't wait for someone to comment that MovieBob is being unfair to the idea and that he's bringing his Spidered-Man bias into this. OT: This is a fucking stupid idea. Sure, there's always a chance that this could be a decent potential series of flicks, but just as a concept this is just...

    Amazing Spider-Man 2 Alternate Ending Revives Dead Character

    Thank god this shit wasn't in the movie. It would've only made the movie even worse. I wouldn't have seen it as a shocking reveal or something and more of a final middle finger to the audience.

    Tekken X Street Fighter is Still in Development

    The real question: do we still want it to be. :P

    Former Panama Dictator Sues Activision Over Call of Duty: Black Ops II

    I doubt this will amount to anything. He's a public fucking figure. There have been countless public figures used for historical fiction, which technically Black Ops II is, at least for the part of the game he's in. Not to mention the fact that he's not even the first political figure in the...

    BIT.TRIP Dev Gaijin Games Changes Name to Avoid Racial Slur

    In the actual press release, they stated that they chose Gaijin because they were developing games that reflected their favorite games from yesteryear, most of which happened to be Japanese-made games. So, being cheeky, they named themselves Gaijin. They were initially just three devs who hit it...

    Escape to the Movies: Edge of Tomorrow - Tom Cruise Is Cool Again

    They namechecked the book in the credits, so yeah, it's an actual adaptation.

    WGDF

    Nah, this is almost certainly about the UCSB shooting, specifically with regards to the #YesAllWomen hashtag being highjacked by MRAs who later went on to make the #YesAllPeople and #YesAllMen hashtag.

    Google Launches Video Quality Report Rating ISPs For YouTube Playback

    This is tangentially relevent: a graph visualizing the average speeds on Netflix on Comcast from May of 2013 until now. I unfortunately had to start using Comcast in January and the near constant sub-480p video pissed me right the fuck off. The sudden jump to HD only made me more angry. In...

    Xbox One's Frame Rate: Kid Rejected, Mother Approved

    Like an idiot, I'm going to throw my hat into the ring. Yes, there is a difference between 30 and 60. There's no denying this. However, there are people who clearly can't tell the difference. That or the difference is one that they simply can't put their finger on or just don't care...

    Origin May Ban Early Titanfall Players After All

    I think Zampella's okay on the matter was more targeted at people who may have gotten their hands on an Xbone copy.

    Mass Effect Trilogy HD Remaster For PS4/Xbox One Being Considered

    As one of the weirdos who actually liked the original ending and hated the extended cut, I sincerely hope that if they do do this, you have the option to choice which you get. Because seriously, fuck the extended cut.

    The Last of Us Gets Four New Multiplayer Maps

    I'd have to disagree with you guys. I freaking love the multiplayer in the game. It perfectly captures the feeling of the single player's tone and manages to turn that into a surprisingly fun, tense, and deep deathmatch. Also, that story content you (and I, as well) want? It's coming...

    How to Talk About Games #2

    Well, that's only because he isn't strictly silent (like Freeman) and what he does say aren't variations on his name and YAHOOOOO (like Mario). And, I'd argue that Halo 4 made him a much more interesting character. However, he still isn't anywhere near a list topper.

    Removing One's Rocks

    50 Shades of Grey is one of the funniest books I've ever read. I don't regret reading it at all, because reading E.L. James try and epicly fail to write something sexy is hysterical.

    You own Square-Enix: What's the next step for Final Fantasy?

    Make the world forget 8 and 10-14 ever happened. Basically, start making good games again.
