How cool is that cork pad, plate ... table, pallet, thing ...

Getting close to a new episode, Episode VI: Return of the Cherry Pie. Is that too graphic.

Oh, okay, well I'm no Middle-earth scholar, but, I literally cannot be bothered by any of LOTR film adjustments/additions/aberrations. Thirty years ago, when I first pictured Gondor in my mind, and now to see it onscreen match almost perfectly ... it goes a long way toward forgiving the overall interpretation. Which is the same attitude I'm reserving for the new Shadow of Mordor game featuring a named character from the Silmarillion. Anyway, movies, Polygon reported Guardians to be the "chili cheese fry" of Marvel's cinematic universe ... so, of course, since I love all three of those things, plus green-skinned females, it's a must-watch. "It won't nourish you, and you won't be able to eat it forever." I bet I could eat chili cheese fries forever.

It's becoming a trend. This year, Peter Jackson cosplayed an evil jester, of some sort, traversing the con, incognito. IncongnitoTM

Of the "evil" reputation types, only Cruel seems unequivocal ... the other two, Aggressive and Deceptive, could be interpreted differently, or less than evil. For my paladin, I'd like to see how far Cruel and Rational intertwine. Once in a while, make the Passionate choice, since, of course, he has a harem to satisfy.

Cool, that is exciting. No reason not to have the power to push more pixels than the sun has nuclear atoms.

What, you're just playing, right. The girls definitely get their due, I can think of three mad, badass chicks off the top of my head, Eowyn, Arwen, Galadriel. Tauriel is a welcome addition, not a retcon. Retroactive continuity in LOTR is unpossible since it isn't ongoing serial storytelling. All six movies are essentially personal opinions, no reason to be injured by them. No canon were harmed in the making thereof.

Death godlike paladin will be my first play-through. I expect NPC resistance, but more because of his master plan to obliterate and supplant the Aedyr Empire. And cat-druids.

Not just a Deadpool movie, what they should do, is a whole big anti-Avengers Thunderbolts blockbuster. I mean literally busting city blocks with Red Hulk.

Some mad editing skillz for a couple o' Aussies, I think. Some of the costumes from last week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fAZxSkfRo

I don't know, but I really like the kinetic response. When someone yells we're all about to be killed to death ... seems silly to stand around, thinking of something to say. Action, man!

Not bad, twice as long as IGN, about half as entertaining, which may be due to my preference for female voices. Josh seems a little less engaged ... I bet multiple demos can be tiresome. Wonder if we'll see some magic before beta.

Yeah, of course, nothing like that, the "light" saber is as much a Force weapon as it is physics-based. The Force is required to interact with and excite anti-photons emitted from the hilt 100cm to a micro-antimirror, held in place by reflection. In the hands of a non-Jedi, the weapon is blank, and dark, not unlike a flashlight without batteries. Use of the Force, however, enables the anti-photon extenuation to split real matter particles. I just made that all up.

No injuries. Oh my god there are no injured Chargers in training camp. Coach McCoy mandated stretching before, during, and after exercises. Week and a half 'till pre-season Thursday. Lord, let them start the year healthy.

Wait, what's with the back strap. Is it holding a scabbard, for the sword. Diana's swords come out of her wrist bracelets, magically, because that's what a goddess does. Is it a strap to hold stupid Clark Kent and lame Bruce Wayne together on her back when Luthor knocks them both out. Wonder Woman is going to deep-kick all of the boys in their backsides and save the multiverse, clearly.

Then again ... Paradox is handling support, no? As well they are in Sweden, yes? A land of goats, alcohol, and no holiday tradition whatsoever ... well, and a few car manufacturers, but I'm sure they don't celebrate Santa's birthday ... perhaps PoE will indeed release on Shady's birthday, Tuesday before Jesus H. Christmas. No ... I'm sticking with January.

Can't see the Lynda photo, please post a dozen more of her to make up for it.

They're wedge boots, which is perfectly acceptable. The color is too muted, however. The best part of WW's costume is how well the different colors compliment. And no gold lasso, c'mon.

I hope the November optimists are right, but Winter 2014 doesn't begin until December 21, and only an insane developer would release a PC game before the holidays. So I'll say Tuesday, 13 January, 2015.

Girl gamer? As if the gender is relevant? She's a gamer, just like anybody else is. I like the IGN video better than giantbomb. More informative. *edit* Also note this. In the video, Josh is asked how many joinable NPCs there are, he answers: "The backers backed 8 total companions." Again it's interesting how they (Josh and previously Brandon) chose their words regarding the joinable NPCs. Unless the devs come in here and clarify this, my bet is on there being more than 8 NPC companions in the game. Of course it's relevant. And noteworthy, which is why I made note of it. I've already seen your attempts at coherence, no thanks.

No idea if the movie will be good, but TLOU Remastered is in three days. Very much looking forward to that.

Cripes, it's the same thing here. Mexican monsoonal moisture makes me miserable. Lotta M's just there.

Gal is amazing, the costume less so. Can't even tell who it is. Doesn't matter, I'm skipping the film thanks to its pompous ass-sombrero of a writer.

No, thank you. From GI:
