Turning your favorite fanatic obsessions into movies has been a topic of conversation for as long as anyone can remember. You know you've all done it. Your favorite book, comic, game, whatever. You jokingly talk about how cool it would be for so and so to be the lead actor, and what's her face to be his main squeeze. However, in reality, this ( Read more... )

I think I have a pretty iron clad stomach when it comes to movies and games. There's not much that'll make me blink twice. In fact, earlier in RE4, when a chainsaw wielding maniac litterally removed my head from my shoulders, I only laughed and cheered. It was the coolest Resident Evil moment ever. However, without giving too much away, there's ( Read more... )

EA's new Standard Operating Procedure? Slap down the competition, and THEN call their momma a bitch.

These are the business practices that turn my stomach. God forbid EA just resort to, oh I don't know, making the better game.

First off, there are some people at Capcom who have an unhealthy obsession with decapitation ( Read more... )

From the moment you start the game, to the moment when the church bell rings, is one of my top 5 gaming experiences of my life. Heh, that may seem dramatic, but seriously, we're talking high quality shit right here. Using a Shotgun to blow away 10+ people at once, a psycho with a chainsaw cutting your head right the fuck off, and intensity that's ( Read more... )

ALIAS is finally back after a way too long break, and boy are they trying to go back to the old school days. If you don't watch the show, you won't have any idea what I'm talking about, but the first season and first half of season 2 had this very interesting setup that most fans seemed to just love. Then in season two, they turned it on it's head ( Read more... )

"Finished" PoP 2 this weekend. Unfortunately, the quotation marks are there because I am unable to fight the final boss, and unable to finish the game properly. Without spoiling anything, I can say that the final boss fight requires you to enter a Sand Portal, and I am unable to do so due to a bug. This is the perfect ending to the game, however, ( Read more... )

Well, Tivo'd Earthsea and finally got around to watching it last night. I've never read the books myself, but I'm always up for some good fantasy. Since I don't have knowledge of the books to compare it too, I can't say it was horrible. My biggest complaint is that it was obvious they were trying too much to be like other fantasy movies.  Fans seem ( Read more... )

As happens a lot, the funny thing about Penny Arcade yesterday wasn't the comic, but the blog on the frontpage. Gabe's comment about EA specifically got a decent chuckle out of me, but Tycho's review of the Award Show held by Spike on Tuesday was pretty good too ( Read more... )

So I went to pick up my preorder of Prince of Persia from EBGames yesterday, and low and behold, turns out they don't honor their preorder prices. I had a printed receipt for 40 dollars at the time I preordered it, but since then, Ubisoft decided to raise the price to the standard 50 dollars. Despite my printed proof, turns out that since I chose ( Read more... )
