Sadly, I'm incredibly broke and have a giant backlog (SteamLeft says 2700 hours, not counting console games and non-steam games), so I'll have to pass on this. Still haven't finished Dragonfall(by finished, I mean got passed the first battle). Will definitely wishlist it and grab it when my backlog is less. Glad its blasted passed its goal though. Looks like it will definitely get all its stretch goals. Good, because the Matrix was the worst part of the first one.

Jodorowsky's Dune. Documentary about the extensive pre-production and eventual rejection of Alejandro Jodorowsky's adaption of Dune, and its lasting effect on Hollywood. I really enjoyed it. Not quite as good as Empire of Dreams, but still a good watch. Jodorowski's passion is evident and its amazing to think that without him collecting his "spiritual warriors" we never would have gotten Alien.

Its crazy that Internet Hobo is a viable career choice now

I've mostly been here and on KiA, so I haven't actually seen much when it comes to GG crazies. Everyone here and there seems to be pretty sensible.

His ending to Dune had Paul die but his conciousness inhabits everyone on Arrakis, awakening the planet which turns into some sort of messiah planet traveling the cosmos awakening other planets.

Was watching Jodorowsky's Dune (which was excellent) and then this happened...

I get removing comments if its just trollish behaviour or profanity, but those were all sensible comments..

Kraft Dinner with ketchup and sliced hot dogs. Delicious.

Games Workshop's whoring out of the Warhammer license continues. This time they can finally deliver the bug-filled, utterly broken experience their fans have been craving by partnering with Creative Assembly! didn't the license just go with Relic when Sega bought them?

I liked Live Here, Buy That. Watched a bunch a while back and thought it was hilarious the couple could sell their 2 bedroom condo in Toronto and buy a 5 bedroom farmhouse on 2 acres of land on Cape Breton island.

Transformers: Age of Extinction The Bayformer movies are best looked at in a vacuum. They are pretty damned entertaining as long as you don't look at them as Transformers films. So on that merit it was quite an entertaining film, though the human built transformers transforming through a cloud of cubes was terrible. Bonus points for Frank Welker voicing Galvatron.

The thing is that none of us do trust publishers, we allready know through their numerous actions that their bottom line is profit, that is abundantly clear and nobody faults them for that as that is their purpose. However we should have an independent media that warns us of anti consumer practises and seves the public interest, that is games journalisms purpose, but they are simply unfit for it. Rather than embrace ethics and serve and inform the public, they feel that their purpose is to preach at and condemn the very people who have given them a job. It is not our job to watch over publishers, that is the game journalists, and they choose to reject an ethical and public serving duty over a multi billion dollar industry in favour of telling millions of perfectly inncent people who happen to play games recreationally that they're dead and inconsequential. The focusing on publishers deflection was just that, an admission that they're neither fit for purpose, capable of doing their jobs or even surviving without the symbiotic relationship with the medium they should be judging objectively. Its not just taking on publishers, its that the entire focus seemed to be on games media's relationship with indie devs, while the relationship with publishers was just kind of handwaved away as "just the way things are done"

TotalBiscuit was right way back before he officially came out in favor of GG. The atmosphere is just radicalizing both sides. At this point the trolls have made everyone not on our side completely dismissive of our arguments no matter how good, the media bias has solidified the anti-gg side as some sort of righteous crusaders, and the lack of reasonable people on the anti-gg side due to this has made the gg side care more about taking down the crusaders than fighting corruption in meaningful ways. Anti-gg had some good points that were handwaved right from the go. When they accused GG of not really caring about ethics because they weren't taking the publishers to task. The correct response to this should have been a "that's right, lets incorporate that" instead of justifying not doing anything and continuing to focus on the indie side. There are enough of us, with the majority just signal boosting, that some of us could have tackled that. I think that one article at the beginning of the fight holds a lot of truth on both sides now. How the anti-gg side had some good points but there was no way we were going to accept any sort of morality criticism from people as morally bankrupt as them, and sadly that's happened to our side too. We have a lot of good points, manymore than the antis, but the media nias has framed us in such a way that no one is willing to listen to the "trolls and misogynists"

Not to defend McIntosh, but how is criticising Israel antisemitism?

A friend saw that there was a Taken 3 and his response was "Who keeps taking things from this guy? don't they know he has a particular set of skills!?"

that's saying a lot considering SHIELD is one of the best shows on network TV right now.

Supposedly he campaigned at fox to get the movié off the ground and was the major reason its even being done. Supposedly its his favorite comic character, so hopefully that means he'll put in the extra effort to get it right.

There actually no lore issues with female Thor in the Marvel Universe. Mjolnir has the specific legend of "Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor." Semantic argument over the lack of gender neutral pronouns in the English language aside, the intent was, and always has been, that whoever was deemed worthy by the enchantment could hold the hammer and be Thor. Hence Beta Ray Bill.Is Thor a title? I thought it was the guy's name.Thor Odinson is the son of Odin. Named Thor. The Hammer Mjolnir has an enchantment that only the people worthy of it can pick it up. And in so doing, they are granted the power of Thor. Back when the title started, Odin had punished Thor by making him human and exiling him to earth (where he had the alias of Dr. Don Blake) and if he proved himself worthy he could unlock his Thor powers. Which he did, regaining powers and memory, but the enchantment to Mjolnir remains. So its a desert topping and a floorwax. I mean its a name and a title. Thor Odinson is Thor whether he has his hammer or not, but anyone who has his hammer and can pick it up ("worthy") is also Thor. So Beta Ray Bill was Thor until Thor took his hammer back and Odin had a similar hammer made for Bill that gave him Thorish powers. Which brings us to our mystery woman who picked up the hammer and has become Thor in the current title after Thor Odinson became unworthy and unable to pick it up again. The only other person besides Thor to go by Thor while wielding Mjolnir was Eric Masterson, and it was because Thor was bound inside his body, and when Thor was split from him and banished, he just kept up the illusion that he was still Thor, only revealing he wasnt to Captain America. Beta Ray Bill was still Beta Ray Bill, Steve Rogers was still Steve Rogers. Having Thor's powers doesn't make you Thor.

The ads were mildly amusing...then the ad for Revenge hit, and it was glorious. Doing ads for comedies and The Bachelor musical style fits, but for a thriller? It was so ridiculous I couldn't help but laugh.

Mr Peabody and Sherman. Another enjoyable entry from Dreamworks. I don't know how well it did but Dreamworks seems to be in the sad boat where all their best movies bomb, while their terrible stuff makes loads of cash.

What? Target was targeted by another petition, some 10,000 signatures long demanding they pull the advertising and apologize for having a white girl modelling an Annie inspired clothing line. To put it in perspective, I believe there were some previous ads or marketing with a black Annie, and the hubbub is that they changed it to a white Annie again, negating the message. Still..petitions for ad-pulling and apologies seem a bit over reactionary. The ads were part of a bigger campaign around the lines of "anyone can be Annie" or some such, with a bunch of different girls of different races. The white girl was just the only one pictured in the Red Dress.

Is there an established thread where we discuss how whiny crybabies are ruining the world? like how people are angry at Target for portraying Annie, a white character, with a white model, or is this an appropriate thread?

So Liana K referred to whats going on in Gaming as Digital Colonialism. Where one outside group is moving in and trying to "civilize" the indigenous people. Gamerghazi calls her a racist. Her response: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sjms81
