    Michelle McLaren Will Direct Wonder Woman - Update

    You know the more I hear of a certain type of criticism for Wonderwomen the more I become convinced that perfect storybook adherence to the cannon or a complex and multi-faceted story or character are not the direction it actually benefits from going. Underworld with armored tanktop really might...

    No Right Answer: Best Mel Brooks Movie

    The last line of that video made me laugh out loud so I guess its "I hate you" for the win

    The Big Picture: #WalrusNo - Why Tusk Is A Bad "Bad" Horror Movie

    Self aware horror is bad because these self aware horror movies were bad therefor this self aware horror movie was bad... Bob that's one big pile of schlock reasoning with no actual evidence. I enjoy the big picture but this really felt like a filler week of it

    Mountain Review - Best Game Everest?

    This review touched me... if only I could somehow distill its essence into a viscous miasma and deliver it, as if an enema, to the depths of my soul then I too might discover the true meaning of life and burst forth from my nethers mountains of meaning equal to that of the digital paragon...

    The Big Picture: Turtle Power - The Older, Better TMNT Movie

    It was a really well presented argument in video form and it made me smile with much nostalgia... That said I do sometimes wonder at the generic nostalgia love of our childhood (Bob makes a strong case for this movie but there were so many others...) My Question is this: If the characters in...

    Escape to the Movies: Lucy - It's Almost a Black Widow Movie

    OK, I'm sold... Those both sound like movies I'd love to see

    Uncivil War: Mount Your Friends - Jim and Yahtzee Get Physical

    infantile with tremendous desperation they dig for the humor with all their might... still somehow entertaining though.

    No Right Answer: Worst Pet Ever - Cats Worse Than Dogs?

    I am completly shocked that Dan, at least, did not piont out the truth... According to the critieria of being an anoying parasitic, all encompassing annoyance that eats away at your everything and makes you love it a baby wins every friggen time. A cat or dog stops being a massive imposition...

    Jimquisition: Corrupt, Censoring, Suicidal Indie Devs

    Your the one failing to look to the source. Oscar Wilde based much of his career upon lampooning those he disliked and found objectionable... can you name a single one of them. I can't; but the message is what has persisted. I will probably forget Kobra studios tomorrow and not recall them again...

    Jimquisition: Corrupt, Censoring, Suicidal Indie Devs

    A Dev dumb and lazy enough to steal thier own avatar was dumb and lazy enough to make a crap video of a bad looking game which they were dumb and lazy enough to try to ban critism of... say it aint so. Still livens up my afternoon to hear about another idiot developer I should avoid.

    Escape to the Movies: Lucy - It's Almost a Black Widow Movie

    Found the review intersting as always but Bob's last screen has me thinking... Would a black widow movie even work? I know a good movie can be made out of anything but for all her nuance the character is allowed very little range and as one of those connecting elements allowed within multiple...

    Uncivil War: Doom II - King of Hell

    It was still most enjoyable but I think last weeks was better. The passive time based goal left too much of challenge in the hands of the game rather than the two opponants. I would also love to see some meta-challenges such as selecting a title unkown to either Jim or Yahtzee and seeing who can...

    Civilization: Beyond Earth - Where Will You Take Humanity?

    Didn't use nearly enough kindeling for that;) besides Morganson, the Tech guy and the Spartans were almost always my picks of choice... Darnit I can't beleive I'd forotten about that... now I've got a smile stuck on my face that will probably stick around all day...their bickering was fun...

    Well that at least sounds a bit reasuring... thanks for the responce

    Civilization: Beyond Earth - Where Will You Take Humanity?

    No argument from me, Alpha-Centauri had a lot of problems even in addition to that laborious amount of micro-management by the end game. Customization was fun at first but the interface was clunky and the balance issues you mention didn't help... But the FLAVOUR, good lord that was great, that...
