    Total War: Warhammer Finally Gets Official Announcement

    About time. But I won't pre-order. CA won't be able to rely on my blind devotion this time. Make sure you do it right.

    5 Ways J.J. Abrams Could Ruin Star Wars

    I wouldn't actually mind if he toned down all force-related subjects. I think that would be the right way to go if you wanted to capture a more classic Star Wars feel, as the Force is supposed to be this largely unknown phenomena that's either whispered with superstition or dismissed as just...

    Movie Defense Force: Event Horizon - You Won't Need Eyes To See

    SPOILERS! This movie really nails suspense and atmosphere, but doesn't match films like John Carpenter's The Thing for me simply because it gives the malicious force a human face at the end. Keeping it in the unknown and inhuman gives me the chills a great deal more than anything else...

    Car Accident Takes the Life of Actor Paul Walker

    I was merely speculating. I'll reserve judgement until all the facts of the incident are made public.

    Car Accident Takes the Life of Actor Paul Walker

    While the details involving the crash are sketchy at this point, driving those sorts of luxury sports cars seems like nothing but dangerous. Their whole design appears meant to tempt you into testing it's engines, speed through streets without a care in the world. All it takes is a bit of...

    Game of Thrones Characters Re-imagined in The 90s

    Not only awesome, but believable as well! Though I question Cersei's haircut a little. But then, she's supposed to be the fading beauty, and the glorious Eighties have all but vanished... Also, I'd love to see a GTA made from this. Tywin as Chief of Police? What more could I ask for?

    Xbox One Backlash Was "Unfair," Molyneux Says

    Can the varying communities in this industry overreact and recklessly jump into conclusions regarding controversial matters? Certainly. But I'd rather have it be this way than the majority of people being unquestioning and boundlessly faithful to the "authorities". Concept-wise, I'd love to...

    Total War: Rome 2 Video Highlights "Very Hard" AI

    I'm surprised the presenting player survived for as long as he did, considering the blunders he made from start to finish. He got himself locked and didn't manouver when opportunity arose. He could have gotten steamrolled much earlier had the AI been slightly more aggressive as well. Despite all...

    Channel Awesome Seeks Crowdfunding for a Game Show

    As the title says, Channel Awesome is on Indiegogo in an attempt to get funding for a new, yet to be decisively named, show that will focus on the interactive medium. As well as other things should they get beyond the initial funding goal...

    Most violent movies you've watched

    While there have been countless movies that have raised the bar on creative violence time and again, I always come back to John Carpenter's The Thing (1982 version). In terms of quantity I'm sure it would be considered tame in comparison to many other films, but it's execution and focus on...

    Game of Thrones Creator : HBO's Iron Throne "Not What I Want"

    While budget restriction likely kept them from making a more disturbing size for it, it would have helped establish an uneasy feeling to the audience (for me at least). A clever way to portray the monstrosity of war and how everyone seem obssessed with sitting on top of society even if it means...

    Drone Completes First-Ever Automated Carrier Landing

    Indeed. It is the CIA that has been in charge of at least the majority of drones deployed outside the United States, which has become more of a para-military organisation in this most recent decade. And while I don't know what sort of mindset is encouraged, directly or indirectly, to people...

    Drone Completes First-Ever Automated Carrier Landing

    I'll clarify. The Drones have proven to be excellent killing machines that can survey an immense area and deal with a target at any time. What I was refering to was the overuse of signature strikes, where you're basically firing at unidentified targets based on a hunch. And we're not...

    Drone Completes First-Ever Automated Carrier Landing

    Short term this technology would make pilots' tasks much easier, as they can just have autopilot on when landing or during other precision-demanding operations (not that physical pilots in the air are required any longer). Long term, it's another (arguably significant) step towards...

    That Guy With The Glasses/ Nostalgia Critic site

    While I originally got hooked by Nostalgia Critic and Spoony, there's been more than enough excellent shows from that website to keep me interested. My attention actually withdrew from Doug for a while until his show was renewed (adding some much needed refreshment!). Currently I regulary...
