The Altered Carbon universe is great, but the first book was terrible. Never could finish it. Too many gratuitous elements. Too much useless moments where the plot doesn't move foreward or we learn nothing about the characters. Still, because of the universe this could be a great sci-fi TV show.

I never got why some people dislike Tarantino. The man is a great film maker who masters dialogue and montage.

Concept of an artificial intelligence that would improve itself rapidly and surpass human intelligence. The best representation I've seen was by Charles Stross in Accelerando. He depicts three generations who live through the singularity. His depiction is rather pessimistic. any intelligent...

R is for Romulan.

The singularity. In our day and age of dematerialization, hyperconnectiveness, mass information and burgening AIs, the singularity is part of the zeitgeist.

Libraries are rent seekers!

If you really like speculative fiction, politics and sociology, I recommand Too Like The Lightning by Ada Palmer. The future Palmer imagined is brilliantly dense and detailed. I also enjoyed her prose as she wasn't afraid to try different styles throughout the novel. The plot was engaging enough...

Except that they did. CGI Grand Muff Diver was indeed on screen. Quality isn't important to the general public. Thus why there are 5 (?) Transformers films and Suicide Squad and BvS made tones of money.

Disney showed they can CGI death people in Star Wars. I'm sure CGI Reeves will be a better actor than that guy who plays Superman now. And the special FX can be worse than current Superman's CGI face to hide the actor's mustache.

Nah. Doc Weirdo is a naturopath who prescribes trepanation and a enemas to cure autism caused by vaccines.

Civil War managed to pull it off. Avengers 3 has the same directors, so we should be hopeful. As if Superman was in this film. The good one. Not the one that drives your daughter to suicide Superman.

All their contracts are gonna be up after Avenbers 4. Except the Guardians, Spider-Man, Black Panther, Captain Marvel and Doc Weirdo.

Michael Bay is still alive as far as I know.

Hugh Jackson? The love child of Hugh Jackman and Samuel L. Jackson?

Humanities. Pffft. Only losers study that. I should know. I studied political science and anthropology.

An adventure in September and in November, and the supplement in May? How... odd.

It would probably be more controversial if it were televized and there was a critical mass of viewers. Just think how referees are critiqued thanks to TV replays. Maradona's Hand of God is famous for a reason. Imagine a DM fudging a dice or a player fudging one and note getting caught when...

Nah. DMs are too different from one another. And even if it is the same DM who plays with all the different teams, his performances won't be the same like a computer program would do.

Considering Morrus circumvented all the questions about whether this article, and others similar like it, was paid or sponsored by Paizo, pretty much tells me it was paid by Paizo. Or maybe Morrus can say outright it wasn't paid or sponsored by Paizo.
