- Comment on ‘Furiosa’ First Reactions Say It’s a Stunning Powerhouse (But No ‘Fury Road’) 1 week ago:
George Miller is almost 80 now and the movie was partly shot during the pandemic. It was always going to be much more CG heavy than Fury Road. Doesn’t mean it’s bad.
- Comment on Dragon Age: Dreadwolf set to arrive by next March, according to report 1 week ago:
When was the last really good game from EA and Bioware? Yeah.
- Comment on Discovering what this man has done has ruined my day 1 week ago:
“You know, with Hitler, the more I learn about this guy, the more I don’t care about him.”

But is it really bondage gear if it doesn’t hurt your wallet?
- Comment on The Biggest Box Office Bombs of 2023 2 weeks ago:
It’s actually quite good. Just a fun time with Iman Vellani running away with the movie in every scene she’s in.
- Comment on epidemiology 2 weeks ago:
There was already an outbreak of thousand year old Anthrax from thawed animal corpses in Siberia several years ago.
- Comment on Recognize the mother of Wifi 2 weeks ago:
He did a TED talk in 2010 and there are several articles about him. Not much news in recent years, I guess he wasn’t very succesful in turning his motion control concept into a viable product. I interviewed him about eight years ago.
- Comment on Recognize the mother of Wifi 2 weeks ago:
Shout out also to John Underkoffler who was the technical advisor on Minority Report (and later Iron Man). The gesture controls in that movie heavily inspired the first smartphones.

And then Ridley Scott turned it into an albino bodybuilder…
- Comment on he loves the jungle 1 month ago:
You mean the third adaptation of a widely popular book? Not exactly wildly original.
Still a great movie though.
- Comment on The Bizarre Chinese Murder Plot Behind Netflix’s ‘3 Body Problem’ 1 month ago:
It’s big hit for Netflix, it’ll get a second season.
- Comment on Judas First Details: How Ken Levine Is Building on BioShock With 'Narrative LEGOs' 1 month ago:
That narrative LEGO thing sounds like a fancy way of saying that it’s a branching story with several outcomes like Detroit: Become Human, but maybe less linear? Which still sounds like a cool approach for a shooter.
- Comment on Okay, but Mötley is a pretty awesome name. 1 month ago:
If his surname is Cox, it’s a great name for a male pornstar.
- Comment on [NEWS] "Star Trek 4" Gets New Writer For Final Film - Dark Horizons 1 month ago:
Oh my, what a trainwreck (trekwreck?) Very doubtful that movie can get the whole gang back together. And that other one? An Origin story for Star Trek? What, like 2009’s Star Trek?
Ever since Abrams, Orci and Kurtzman got their hands on the franchise, it’s cursed. At least the series side of it slowly comes back to something resembling actual Star Trek.
- Comment on Netease announce Marvel Rivals, a free-to-play 6v6 shooter that desperately wants to be superhero Team Fortress 1 month ago:
The only surprise is the inclusion of Galacta, daughter of Galactus. Talk about obscure. Wouldn’t the Grandmaster be a much more logical choice for the person controlling the battle arenas?
- Comment on No Man's Sky Orbital Update brings full ship customisation and a complete space station overhaul 1 month ago:
I fully expect Light No Fire to be a reskinned No Man’s Sky on a single planet with a fantasy coat of paint (and I look forward to it!), and all features they are still adding to NMS to be in LNF as well. Quite clever IMO.

Thriller did warn us.

I’m hoping for Sci-Fi and the next Mass Effect.

Cat poop coffee is still the grossest food. Well, maybe this one cheese with live maggots jumping into your face while eating it has it beat.
- Comment on Alien: Romulus | Teaser Trailer | In Cinemas Aug 16 1 month ago:
The series is by Noah Hawley (Legion, Fargo), so I have high hopes for that one.
- Comment on Snikt 1 month ago:
In the comics, Magneto rips out his skeleton at one point. After which Xavier telepathically lobotomizes him. And yes, although Logan nearly dies, he grows a new skeleton including bone claws. His healing factor also goes into overdrive since it doesn’t have to fight against the toxic adamantium all the time. It makes him grow more feral too, until writers decided it got too stupid with Logan talking and acting like a caveman so he got the adamantium back.
- Comment on Spider cats 1 month ago:
There is a very cool sci-fi novel called Children of Time in which jumping spiders are accidentally uplifted and evolve into an intelligent species.
- Comment on Gaslighting 1 month ago:
He was also deeply paranoid and delusional, since he was high on speed most of the time. Don’t see “blindly supporting police” in his works actually, any form of authority is usually portrayed of having bad intentions. Although his protagonists are often some form of cop, they are usually in conflict with their colleagues in some form.
- Comment on mycology 1 month ago:
I always liked the theory that fungi are actually aliens that came from some asteroid from another planet and have just been around long enough that nobody bats an eye at them anymore. I mean, look at slime mold and tell me that not basically Venom!

Nice, AI is slowing getting to Liefeld levels of skill. A few more decades and it might produce actual art. ;)

That game might have had a chance to find its audience but with the surprise success of Palworld it’s now definitely DOA.
