I've recently decided to start reading the original, "Legends" EU, largely because since it's now non-canon it can no longer be fucked with (although as I understand it a lot of fuckery has already happened.) I bought the Heir to the Empire trilogy at a thrift store and am enjoying it so f...

Maybe introduce him as the antagonist in a Hulk solo movie. There could be some interesting interplay between the two, with them both being seen as freaks and as a threat to humanity but with very different attitudes on how to deal with that (one wants to conquer the surface world while the other ju...

Are we being glad piracy is an ever-growing industry now? Or are we so stupid we think something being impossible to achieve will prevent any draconian laws to try? The former. Often the only way to obtain works that the rights-holder neglects to release legitimately is through piracy, and those wo...

A preview of some Skyrim enhancements that Bethesda's been experimenting with and that may be part of a future patch or DLC package:

The suit still looks awful.

The rest of the movie shows promise, though. Looks like this'll be more of a reboot in the sense of "we're just going to tell a new Spider-Man story without clinging to the details of the Raimi movies" rather than focusing on the origin story a second time.

I think in Captain America they just stuck with vibranium only for Cap's shield to keep from being too confusing. They got Hugh Jackman to do a cameo so not sure the adamantium thing would have been off limits. Not that anyone really knew what adamantium was in 1941. It didn't make a reappearance i...

Ultron would be an obvious member of the Avengers rogue's gallery to use. You could even have him introduced in one of the other "feeder" movies, get defeated, and come back as Ultron-2, now with 100% more adamantium. I doubt that that would work for a mass-market audience -- too much rep...

(why never mortal kombat why?) Because, realistically, if the World Warriors found out that they were about to fight someone who's previous matches typically ended with them ripping their opponent's head out of their bodies with the spine still attached their reaction would be to shit their pants a...

Today I Learned: Having an opera in English doesn't make it any easier to understand.

I'm not sure whether the "cut scene" or "in game (Half Life 2)" methods are better; the in game method is pretty damn clunky, the Half Life 2 lab expository dump was extremely painful and kind of SOD ruining. Why not do the Half Life 1 method and have a story that's actually sui...

Even within the show's chronology, it's often argued that the first shots of the Time War were fired by the Fourth Doctor at the moment of the Daleks' creation, meaning that the Daleks have been fighting the Time War for their entire history.

Just as long as we get more space slugs, I'll be happy.

Does that make you a rocket scientist?

The Doctor was also more of an asshole (even by early Hartnell-era standards) in the pilot. Most of his lines were the same, but the tone of the delivery was significantly different.

Good Old Games is running a 50% off sale on a huge chunk of their library until Jan 2.

So is Eccleston coming back, or has Destro regenerated?

Given how much inspiration the Fallout series owes to the Max Max movies, The Road Warrior in particular, I think it's high time we got some autogyros.

Unfortunately, they're from Galaxy 4 and The Underwater Menace which as I understand weren't exactly the high points of the show. http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw/news/bulletin_111211_01/Missing_Eisodes_ecovered Missing Episodes Recovered! 11th Dec 2011 Two classic episodes of Doctor Who - thought ...

Bribe 'em.

Anyone else reminded of this?

They should have Commander Maxil make a re-appearance.

OldWho episodes were also half as long as NuWho ones (with the exception of Colin Baker's first year, but it only had 13 episodes.) When Christmas specials are factored in, NuWho has more actual screen-time per year than any season of OldWho from the '70s onward.

Sylvester McCoy could probably show up again without too much explanation (his hair is a little greyer and his wrinkles a little deeper, but he still looks basically the same as he did during his original run.) Tom Baker and Peter Davison woud be a bit more difficult, as their ageing is far more obv...

The problem with a Doctor Who movie is that the DW premise is heavily tailored towards episodic storytelling. After all, what's the point of having a box that can travel anywhere in space and time if you're only going to use it for a single, two-hour adventure, with any further adventures (if the mo...
