Duck and Cover

The short - What Jetbaby said. The long - No. It's a typical besthapo game, it has a lot of pomp and is frankly surprisingly satisfying while you're still learning the ropes but once you're past that 6-7 hour barrier and you've identified what's what, you realize there's fuck all to do aside from w...

I don't know if I can stomach another watch of it even if it was the extended release. I just watched it like a month or two ago and it sucked pretty bad. Same here, it's one of those movies that makes me feel out of touch with contemporary pop-culture, and makes me feel glad that I am. Just seemed...

Interplay is more likely to collapse under the weight of their own incompetence, which would hopefully bury the license for good, and save us all from sequels by either one of those fuckwits.

BN just trying to justify poaching all your scoops.

Of course they did it in bad faith, but you would've thought, being part of a big media conglomerate, they'd have the acumen and resources to do it properly and close the door on Herve forever. I love this, especially since nobody who had anything to do with making Fallout what it was works for eith...

Montreal has some great titty bars.

Susan?

It's the Bethesda Principle - release a dead franchise as a first person shooter, talk in your promotional materials how the originals are gaming masterpieces, ergo your game is also, and then rake in the cash. It's sad but true, they have great PR acumen, can't make an RPG worth a shit, but goddam...

Lil Wayne is not a culture, he's a lone dude that only represents himself, and if he is a culture, it deserves to be ridiculed. That's not a "stereotypical black dude" costume. Just like Charlie Sheen or Richard Nixon or Freddie Kruger masks aren't white stereotypes. If you're black and th...

I applied for you on your behalf for a vasectomy.

I go for the Cronenberg stuff - Scanners, Dead Zone, Fly, Existenz, the Brood and those others I can't remember

Old but good, heavy on the atmosphere. Great visuals. Eerie.

I like this one, very dark and depraved.

I don't get how you'd have the glimmer of hope of winning a suit because your products share a common English noun like "scroll". Scroll is a pretty old word, and their IP modifies it Elder Scrolls. You've got a right to protect your copywright from infringement, but this is just legally b...

P.K. Dick, H.P. Lovecraft, R.E. Howard's original Conan - the publishing industry has had a slow go of catching up to the popularity some of these guys found posthumously.

People want to buy your books assholes, print more of them.

Too bad you can't buy judges off with fucking Vault101 t-shirts and bobbleheads like you can the gaming rags.

PKD is pretty bueno. The only criticism I would have of him is that he tends to deal with the same themes a lot. But, he's really good at writing on those themes so it's hard to fault him. I did just read a "PKD Reader" collection of short stories, it was great. I think that's where he shi...

It makes no sense why they buy these IPs, but then they repackage it as something else to sell to a group for whom the IP holds no meaning, or are actually turned off by it.

But it's about ROI I guess.

Basically - it's for fluff purposes. Fills in back story, but is never the main event. The backstory really isn't necessary, becomes predictable, and like I said before, was real reminiscent of Alien/Aliens. I kind of liked not really knowing where it came from, it doesn't really matter, because th...

Pretty cool, the only problem I see is once you smack a fool upside the head with those rail road spikes, it's going to be damn hard to pull it back out. They are What's that on the back of the axe, that a piston head? Nice work, btw. Look how convex it is, could be a HEMI header, although I think t...

I saw it Sat night with my wife and it was way better than I thought. I was totally prejudiced "a chick?" "swedes?" "another JC remake?" "no JC synth soundtrack?" They say it's a prequel, but it's pretty much the same movie, except they go into more detail abo...

Silent Storm was good fun if a little under-produced.

But, what other industry does this? I mean if 4 door sedans are the best selling car you don't stop making everything else.

You just have to hope that this industry tanks again.
Hopefully with more platforms now we can see Indies step up more.

Another overly aggressive stretch by Bethesda legal they are likely to lose. Who're their lawyers? Dewey, Cheatum & Howe ? Scrolls is not a trade name, it's a noun. I thought they had some ground against Herve with the "Fallout Trilogy" deal (being that the third title was Tactics), bu...
