Okay, keep an eye on the front page. I’m going to re-run an article on why Modern Warfare 2 is good. Read more

I don’t think they’ve aged particularly well, and there were better open worlds on the PC at the time anyways; Daggerfall has aged better. MM just does way more interesting things than OOT, which is enough to keep me interested. Read more

I come from about ten years of higher education, most of which was in film, some of which was in computer science, some of which was in aviation (long story), and the rest of which was in Journalism and Creative Writing. So I come from several super established places, especially film. The schools of thought you Read more

I believe she can take powers from almost anyone, but a few people are immune to her. A particularly tasteless moment from after Sentry died suggested that he had sex with her because he was one of the few people who was too powerful to be overwhelmed by her powers. Read more

It’s super gamey but VERY RELAXING in its gaminess. While I prefer realism, sometimes I need to step the heck back and just score some points. I love it to pieces. Stopped MGSV and TW3 to play it last year. Didn’t play anything else until it was done. Read more

I was explicitly asked to do more different things, and a suggestion included “you can just post your favorite gif.” I think it’s because I started frontloading with a lot of reasonably in-depth stuff.

While true, I’m not a fan because I don’t think they were good. I would have been a fan if I thought they were good. Read more

She does! But like I said, my favorite version is 1990s Rogue. Read more

Singer’s X-Men movies are bad because they’re these really weak on-the-nose allegories to homophobia, which is all well and good, but it’s done at the expense of literally every other theme the X-Men have approached, like race and coming of age. Seriously, characters like Shadowcat and Jubilee approach their mutant

I’ve been asked with publishing content once an hour, every hour, for my shift for the next three days. Sorry, you’re stuck with me. Read more

Yeah, I accidentally deleted someone’s post earlier today while trying to grey it out. :( Read more
