“FIVE GOLDEN RINGS”, sings the chorus

I have no idea what's going on in the stories of the Halo franchise so Cortana's "nude" image is the least of my problems. 

My Favorite Game of 2013

Yep. This is not only my choice but pretty much everything I think I could say about it. Well done, sir!

None of these imbeciles are going to last long if they continue down this path. They're all going to die angry and alone.

I had a blast with Tomb Raider. Yes, the QTEs early on are poorly executed (but they're not prominent throughout the game) and some combat encounters feel a little too difficult at times (there's a moment in a monastery that almost drove me insane with repeated attempts) but it's a beautiful looking game with some creative design (especially the tomb passages).

I hate gamers.

It's not that online assholes outnumber us. It's only that they have the louder voice and are relentless.

Don't put that evil on us, Ricky Bobby.

Ben versus Felicia Day (Star-trek rant)

I agree that the film echoes events like that one in Wrath of Khan (as well as a lot of things in the Star Trek universe) but it changes the context which makes a lot of difference. When you think about it, Carol Marcus had a lot more to do than Chekov.

Ben versus Felicia Day (Star-trek rant)

I disagree that Into Darkness is a remake of Wrath of Khan. 1) This is the first time Kirk & Co. are meeting Khan so you don't have the revenge angle. 2) Other elements from WoK are missing, such as the recognizing of old age on Kirk's part. One of the best moments from WoK is the one where Kirk realizes a) he's an aging lothario and b) not only does he have a son, but the son hates his guts.

I must have said this before in a post of mine but it boggles my mind while some people were so bothered by the few seconds of the lovely Alice Eve in undies but didn't mind that a good portion of San Fran was destroyed by the starship Khan was piloting. It makes me wonder if Day complained about the scene in the previous film where Uhura, Kirk and green-skinned Rachel Nichols were all in undies or an early scene in ID where Kirk is in bed with two alien women.

The film is busy with so much that many supporting characters get little to do with, including Alice Eve's Marcus. She's there, I suspect, to lay down a foundation for a relationship that'll pay off in later films (at this point, Kirk hasn't had anything approaching a love interest). So I don't buy that Eve was exploited.

I enjoy Felicia Day's Youtube channel but it doesn't surprise me that her opinions on the film is such. To each his/her own.

Both MS and Sony plan to support their current-gen consoles for another 2-3 years. At the end of that, the price will have come down, any kinks in the consoles will have been ironed out and more games will be available. I've never been an early adopter with consoles and I'm hilariously late with my PS3 purchase (night the PS4 was announced) but the reality - as you mentioned - is money, time and attention spent on more important things. People who will rag on you in any way for not having the new hotness are unworthy of your time or attention.

Up Your Arsenal replay, Tomb Raider reboot, The Last of Us and Criterion blu-rays

Armageddon was an early release (early 00's, I think) and while it was a well-produced set (yes, I did own it at one point) it seemed uncharacteristic even then. Criterion even put out an edition for The Rock. I think Criterion did that to boost sales and bring awareness to their brand to customers who probably didn't know about them by marketing titles like that.

One of us! One of us!

That's a great deal! I paid the full $250 for mine and I don't regret it one bit. Such an awesome handheld!
