Supposedly, it's not actually an open-world game in the same sense as GTA or Read Dead. You proceed in completing objectives in a specific order.

Thanks for the info. How about throwing a min-review our way?

How much are episodes of new stuff? How current are the episodes? Thanks for the info I believe TV episodes are $2 for SD and $3 for HD. As to streaming content downloaded through iTunes, if you bought it directly through iTunes then it has DRM on it. If you have a lot of content purchased...

I just got through playing Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. In a lot of ways, the protagonist is like a renaissance-era superhero, with a variety of wondeful toys designed by Leonardo Davinci, an acrobatic mastery of urban terrain, and combat moves that allow him to battle a dozen enemies at once...

Yeah, this all sums up where I was going with the whole "no quiet or slow scenes" comment.

I'm not sure why I would want to play a superhero MMO so I can put on khakis and a polo shirt and spend time at work in my secret ID or go out on dates--that's what The Sims is for. However, it is true that superhero games are not very immersive. Nor or any MMO's IME, and I've played quite a...

They should get the Henson Company to work on projects this. If they could get the same production values as an average of Farscape had, that'd be a step in the right direction.

I'm surprised Sam Witwer hasn't had more of a breakout success. Our boy Starkiller is primed for bigger and better things. The female lead is overacting big time. Like most BBC dramas, the original Being Human offer a lot more ambience. American shows (and films) just don't like quiet or slow...

Better living through denial, eh?

Reportedly, Hulu is in trouble. They are under a lot of pressure to produce profits, while a big slice of the media (network and cable service) industry don't want to provide them with content. Hulu Plus is a rather terrible strategem, since creating a viable premium content zone basically means...

I know from personal experience that the typical reward for a long, well-considered, and utterly nonvolatile post is ignominy. Such posts are welcome on the first page or so, but after that it's too late to offer profundity; arguments have been established, lines have been drawn, and camps have...

I've now played two incomplete games of Civ. In both cases, we've had about five hours to play. Nobody's pre-read the rules or cards or anything, because there's a nasty tendency to lose in interest in a game where it feels like one player knows all the secrets and tricks. Merric makes a lot...

So much animated goodness on Netflix now. They have Fullmetal Alchemist in its entirety. You know how longs fans waited that last DVD? It was painful, man. And they have The Spectacular Spider-Man now too, although the episodes are broken up in a kid-friendly DVD-set kind of way. Best Spidey...

OK, we need to get a dead pool going. How many episodes? I'm in for seven...no, sex...nooo, eight. Eight is my final answer.

I'm trying to register it as a religion for tax purposes. Carborundumology.

Sure, that's all true--if you're doing it wrong. You are talking about petty malice sprayed about with reckless abandon. This is not to be confused with precise, goal-oriented, and conscientious brutality. If you'd only consult the project plan for Operation: Carborundum, you'd see that these...

Yah, and Deus Ex. Good time to be a geek.

Preach it. The bard archer build (which I simply refuse to call a "barcher") is serious business. Too bad there's only one ranged at-will.

Yep, that was the show's failing. It didn't grab that low-hanging fruit.

It's a tried-and-true practice honed to perfection by countless DM's long before we entered this soft, doughy, touchy-feely era of DM'ing by committee, pop psychology, Alan Alda, and Coke commercials about teaching the world to sing. You miss the point of auto-slaughtering his every...
