I hadn't noticed it'd left.

The final boss plays out like a parody of Metal Gear villains, comes out of nowhere, but is hilarious so I don't think you'd have a problem with him.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Seriously dude? You were thinking like pig bacon?

Dude, at any given moment there's like a 90% chance I'm thinking of pig bacon. It's just too delicious.

So I picked this up on the way home from work and it rocks. It's pretty much Vanquish but with swords instead of guns and PMCs instead of space colonies.

...Who the hell names their kid "Bacon"?

I am incredibly fucking stoked for this game. The only thing I that didn't really click for me in the demo was the whole emphasis on parrying over dodging, but I'm hoping that'll be negated somewhat in the game itself - I hear they've implemented some kind of assist option for morons like myself who...

I dunno, I thought Darkstar was a pretty great film.

So basically the idea of these aliens is a variation of the Chinese room thought experiment? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Room The Chinese Room idea is a central part of Blindsight, including a very startling sequence where the plucky heroes begin to figure out the alien's nature while comm...

Okay! So, the two missing Primarchs have been a long-running mystery in 40K lore, and the Horus Heresy books have dropped a lot of clues about them. The hints in Angel Exterminatus , I think, make it pretty clear what happened. To review what we know: The records of the two Primarchs and their legio...

It's also pronounce Kai-a-fass in the audio drama, Dead in the Water.

The most amazing thing about this series is that anyone even cares about it. Seriously, no-name writer doing a series that kills off a bunch of no-name characters by one of the most lame X-men villains ever. The only thing even remotely noteworthy about it is that it features the two most boring Run...

The Greg Bear novels reveal that there are in fact two Didacts. The Didact from the Halo 3 terminals, particularly the one about triggering the array, is actually the consciousness of the Didact inhabiting the body of Bornstellar Makes Forever Lasting, the protagonist of Cryptum. The Didact in Halo...

Question about the Didact, which I guess ties into a bunch of out-of-game stuff! When the ass did he get locked up inside Requiem? I mean, he was the guy who triggered the Halo array, and the log of his firing implied that he was on a Halo when he did it and died in the doing. How'd he end up all fi...

The sandbox is way more fun than the actual levels. Mostly it feels like the levels are just there to grind through in order to get more bits for the sandbox.

Still fun though. Way better than Amazing Alex.

This episode could have done with some more Snakes on a Plane jokes.

I've had it with these motherfucking dinosaurs on this motherfucking spaceship!

Is this like chicken and the egg? Or is there an In-universe explanation for this?

In many cases myths and legends are based on misunderstood or distorted accounts of the events that inspired them

So we have an Iron Patriot/cyborg, the Mandarin, some of Extremis and some of Armor Wars? This sounds more like an ungodly mess than anything. It...totally doesn't. Nations and states developing their own stompy robot suits under their direct control - which seems to be what this Iron Patriot-thing...

@Irbis, Fall of Prospero- Rubric- Thousand Sons join the Siege of Terra. At least as far as I understand these events from the HH book series. Then again, there should be about 2 years between Prospero and Terra, as the books have laid it out, for the rubric. I'm pretty sure all sources I saw for c...

Question: Has there been any official explanation as to why Banner was recast? Norton was perfect in the Hulk movie so I was really disappointed when I heard he wasn't coming back. It's not like Ruffalo didn't do a bad job, his performance was fine (aside from his delivery on the "I'm always an...

Sky Chariot: VTOL Capable Ariel platform that carries three Chitauri troops, unarmed but quick and VTOL capable. There was at least four or so variants. Of the top of my head I recall seeing the type that carry three troops, a type that had the driver and a forward facing gunner (the type Widow hij...

...what? When I was fighting that guy I hardly even fired at him, by the time I was close enough he died from an attack of spontaneous cutscene-itis. Am I thinking of some other guy with a giant fuck you beam cannon?

There's always a bigger train.

What about civilians, though? It just seems a little off given the leisurely lifestyle they would seem to enjoy (and that I'm looking forward to!) So your ideal future is waddling your fat ass around and eating replicator cupcakes? Dude if you had a site-to-site transporter you could probably get t...

More likely it would result in you launching chunks of ice and liquid nitrogen at high speed that would immediately boil and possibly explode on impact. Maybe not a good anti-material weapon, but it could be interesting as some kind of anti-personal, potentially non-lethal weapon. It sounds like it...
