My fave comics site, COMICS ALLIANCE is shut down.
Fuck. Comics Alliance has long been my favorite comic book site. Sure it is owned by those same pigs at AOL who shut them down. Sure. However, I often found them a balm to soothe the agitating bullshit of websites like CBR. A site which should be more accurately known as Slinging The Corporate Titles Through Inflated Nonsense Reviews. Okay, that isn’t the most catchy title. But still. Despite being owned by those pigs, they often generated wonderful articles, entertaining news, and…other positive adjectives. It’s with a heavy heart that I read about their closure, and I wish all of them well.

Pressssss Sssstarrt! – Dare to Scare
Somewhere out there, unbelievable as it may be: someone is surprised that Dead Space 3 wasn’t a resounding success. Whoever that may be clearly doesn’t see the issue with watering down a great horror game so much that it becomes a tepid co-op shooter with faux-RPG elements. In fact, if you think of all the meetings and work hours this game went through in order to get made, it’s startling to think that nobody suggested how fucking awful an idea the game was. In actuality, they probably did, but they then met with some sort of comedic ejection procedure (my money is on tossed from a first storey window by two burly security guards).
Thank Dead Space 3 for fucking up horror gaming for the rest of us: no doubt convincing investors that the genre is a lame duck. Next, thank Bethesda for being confident enough to get Shinji Mikami making a proper horror game. Dreams can come true.
Earth’s INNER CORE is straight-up as hot as the surface of THE SUN. No way.
I guess I can go and cancel the fort I was planning on making in the Earth’s inner core. Had some pretty dope plans to begin digging to it this summer while at the beach.I mean, I’m sure it’s still pretty neat and all. It’s just that it is fucking hot.
SCARLETT JOHANSSON to star in new LUC BESSON flick. I can’t even.
Scarlett Johansson, she who inspires the fires of my loins. Luc Besson, he who makes really awesome, awful, and entertaining action flicks. These two will be paired in eternity. Or at least for a movie.
Opinions Vary: Optimists are half full of it …
… and pessimist’s brains are half empty.
There’s something to be said for choosing a side in most every battle. The eternal struggle between optimism and pessimism however is one of those battlegrounds that I would always avoid. You see dear reader, I am a realist. I see the world and the people in it for what they are, not what I would hope those to be, like the optimist. I don’t project my own values and bitterness on the world as does the pessimist. However, before we delve further we must understand to two opposite sides of the spectrum if we are to find the creamy center. And nougat. Sweet delicious nougat.
NO DUH: Zack Snyder to direct ‘JUSTICE LEAGUE’ if ‘MAN OF STEEL’ doesn’t suck.
New comments are totally reiterating what has already been pretty much understood: Zack Snyder is going to direct the Justice League movie if his new Super-Jam doesn’t blow.

The airwaves are not safe! We are going to need to take our communications to broad-band telepathy. You know, we must don our aluminum plated salad bowl helmets and transmit that way. ‘Cause the rest of the avenues are being watched. Legal or not.
Cosplay: RULE 63 SQUALL LEONHART triggers MY GUNBLADE.
Yeah, I sort of hate myself for the post title. Not enough to change it though, not enough to change it. Hit the jump for some sexy Squall Leonhart cosplay by Miss Alice Monster.
