It is now about 4a.m. here and I can’t sleep for some reason. So, I’ve decided to inflict this on you:
Note that in the movies Spider-Man now has organic webbing. He doesn’t make it in a lab. It comes from inside his body. This means that when he webs you up, he’s covering you in his bodily fluids.
I just thought you should know that.
Quakecon 2012 Annotated
An interesting but technically dense talk about gaming technology. I translate it for the non-coders.
Spec Ops: The Line
A videogame that judges its audience, criticizes its genre, and hates its premise. How did this thing get made?
Deus Ex and The Treachery of Labels
Deus Ex Mankind Divided was a clumsy, tone-deaf allegory that thought it was clever, and it managed to annoy people of all political stripes.
Borderlands Series
A look at the main Borderlands games. What works, what doesn't, and where the series can go from here.
Dear Hollywood: Do a Mash Reboot
Since we're rebooting everything, MASH will probably come up eventually. Here are some casting suggestions.
Jack Black did a really good take on that for some MTV music awards. By “good” I mean “lowest common denominator” but Jack Black can make anything funny.
Ignoring of course the Tenacious D short films he did for HBO (not the TV series).
Old spiderman was only rockin you half the time. The other time he was loading web cartridges in…
but not any more baby haha not with inward webbing, CHECK IT OUT.
So far, most of the Marvel movies that have come out are in some paralell universe to the comic characters we know and love. The only one that comes close to suspending my disbelief was X-men 2. I have been a spider phreak since I was knee high to a grasshopper but I owned X2 years before I owned Spider man 1. Also I bought Batman Begins on DVD the day it came out. This was also at least 6 months before I finally owned Spider man 1.
Note: Someone bought me Spider-man 1 for my birthday or wedding anniversary this year I didn’t purchase it myself. I just feel the two movies I actually bought myself were far superior to the one I received as a gift.
