There have been a few timelines where Mutants didn't last beyond a few generations. In the "good" ones the mutant genes just didn't carry on strongly enough for there to be Mutants. There have been more where Mutants left Earth so then there weren't any left on Earth. Seems doubtful for t...

(Is the mutants losing their powers something that happened in one of the recent X-Men movies, making this a sequel to one of those? I haven't seen the two most recent ones) Mutants losing their powers was from the events of X-Men: The Last Stand (the third movie). Based on the events in the Wolver...

Last time I played it was probably 2008, and it held up about as well as any game does after that long. Even unmodded I remember the visuals looking pretty slick and colorful. Loved the amount of strategy available in commanding your wingmen, targeting subsystems on capital ships, and managing energ...

Most of the praise I've heard for the show was for its first season. After that, it sounds like it degenerated into garbage right-wing national security thriller nonsense (unsurprising from the writers for 24). There are some shows where you really need to change up the cast between seasons. Open-e...

You could say it about tons of chase films. "Harrison Ford runs, and runs, and runs. Tommy Lee Jones pursues, and pursues, and pursues. Ford ducks into a bathroom and shaves his beard and then runs some more. Jones pursues some more. Ford jumps off a dam, etc. etc. etc." "You think th...

Most logical holes I've heard poked in the film have consisted of "Why such extravagant vehicles in a wasteland of sparse resources?" and "That's such an inefficient way of distributing water." Let's just ignore that as soon as the water is shut off the yokels start clawing at ea...

I for one loved the doof out Fury Road and agree with pretty much every bit of praise its gotten, and I haven't yet heard criticism to dampen my enjoyment of it. If my schedule hadn't prevented it, this would have been the first movie I've ever seen twice in theaters. I'll just have to look forward ...

If it took you more than a couple of hours to complete the Haythem sequences then you were incompetent or handicaping yourself. Uh huh, two hours of main game missions you must complete to progress are "rare side sequences." Be sure to lift with your legs while moving those goal posts. He...

Alyrium Denryle, in Assassin's Creed games there is only one player character per game with the exception of rare side sequences, it makes no sense to demand that "at least one" of the main characters be a woman when there was only one character. Gee, did I completely fucking dream playin...

City is bigger and more muscular, but it does unfortunately get more formulaic -- the open world nature of the game is much more pronounced and it suffers a bit from the flag-hunting escapades common to such games. The combat system is, however, even better than in Asylum . The boss encounters were...

And I have never played a PC game at 60 fps and thought "This framerate is really killing the cinematic experience of this game for me. I think I'll lock it to 30." I'm highly skeptical anyone else ever has either. Depends how distracting you find screen tearing. Some people might prefer ...

"And in other games it's the same - like the Rachet and Clank series [where it was dropped]. So I think collectively in the video game industry we're dropping that standard because it's hard to achieve, it's twice as hard as 30fps, and its not really that great in terms of rendering quality of...

I saw something on facebook earlier this week stating that the "Rogue Cut" will be a separate release next year. It kind of annoyed me, but at least they are letting people know before the first DVD/Blu-ray release. It's possible that all of the deleted Rogue scenes will be on the first r...

I've been dying for months for this to come out on blu-ray, particularly to see all the footage that didn't make it into the theatrical cut. Just a couple more weeks. :mrgreen: I loved the hell out of it, and was surprised with how excellent the character drama was. I haven't seen Valkyrie or Jack t...

Got back from a matinée showing and greatly enjoyed it. I'd put it on par with Rise but definitely wouldn't say it exceeds it. I found Dawn was less flawed than Rise, but also had fewer truly memorable, emotional moments like Caesar's first climb in the park, or sketching the chalk drawing of his wi...

You missed the spring/summer Steam sales when it was going for $7.50? Shit. Yea, I was basically logging in to WoW exclusively during the early parts of the sale. We only recently put the game down like 2 weeks ago. If you missed out on the Steam sales you might still want to check out the Humble 2...

Isn't he in the same category as Cranston? Because, if so, beyond being a tactical fuck-up his chances are halved. Breaking Bad won't be up for any more Golden Globes, though I'm pretty sure it's still within the cutoff dates for the Emmys despite only airing two episodes after the 2013 awards. Reg...

I thought it was absolutely terrific, though the build-up in the first half of the season was definitely better than the payoff in the second. Rustin Cohle has easily become one of my favorite television characters and Hart is plenty interesting as well. The narrative jumping back and forth between ...

Framerate hiccups in areas like Blighttown were a major sticking point for me in the original Dark Souls, Just how bad was the framerate drop ? I kept hearing how the console versions were getting single digit framerates. Which, if true, makes me think that the PC port was the better version, despi...

Dark Souls II has been my most anticipated game of the year, other than the Witcher 3 (assuming that comes out in 2014). Sadly I really can't afford to buy any games at full price right now, and as if to add insult to injury, the prices of games at launch in my area have gone up an extra $5 or more....

At first glance, Orci & Kurtzman sitting this one out strikes me as a good sign, but now that means Ehren Kruger whose filmography looks arguable worse is writing this one solo. And similarly I'm glad we have a brand new cast to replace Shia and company, but casting not-Katara in a leading roll ...

This was the first movie I've seen in 3D in a theater in 20 years, and I can now say without a doubt that I fucking hate 3D. Since 1994, the only 3D I've seen has been on demo unit 3D TV's in electronics stores, which I have found superfluous at best and nauseating at worst. I only saw the LEGO movi...

Possibly the best Humble Bundle so far is available for the next 10 days and includes: Guacamelee! Dust: An Elysian Tail Giana Sisters The Swapper And for beating the average you get Antichamber Monaco: What's Yours is Mine I haven't had the opportunity to try Monaco yet, and I'm rather disappointed...

The Humble Store launched earlier today with new deals every day. As much as I love GOG, I'm totally stoked to now have a vendor that sells individual games DRM free that can also be redeemed on Steam, or I would be if I weren't so strapped for cash right now. I only hope they don't start cutting b...

The Humble Bundle 9 has been out since this morning, and it's a good one. I've had my eye on Fez and FTL for quite a while and this is probably the best opportunity to play them. Watsi is also included as one of the charities to contribute to, and I always appreciate when they have charities other t...
