Mister Jack

I saved a video clip of a Far Cry 4 session I had the other day, then decided to mess around with it in the PS4 SHAREfactory app just to try it out and ended up making this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UawSNUSOEp8 Before you say anything, yes I know it isn't very good. I'm not trying to become the next PewDiePie over here. Obviously, SHAREfactory isn't going to have tools as robust as the video editing software you can find on the PC, but it can be fun just to dick around and share stuff you make with your friends.

Fantastic Four is a piece of shit. And boy what a rocky road it had to even come out.

"Oh boy! A new One Punch Man chapter!" *8 pages long* It sucks being a fan of non-shonen manga sometimes. It's been a month since the tournament started and Saitama hasn't even stepped out of his dressing room yet. I know that drawing manga is hard but if these artists are making a living off of it (and have an entire month between chapters) then they really ought to step it up a bit. I think the worst example I've seen so far is a chapter of Watamote that was six pages long.

You can disable that, you know. I know I did because it's kind of obnoxious. And it would be more obnoxious to show up uninvited to all your friends' parties.

The problem is that unless Microsoft changed something, Wifi Sense is turned on by default, meaning that even if you trust your friend not to give access to your network to people you don't know, they might be doing it without even being aware of it.

It shares access, not the password. Say for example you have Wifi Sense turned on and your best friend comes over to your house. He can log on to your wifi without needing your password because you have Wifi Sense enabled. That might be okay with you, but then when he goes to HIS friend's house it would also give wifi access to the other guy, even if you've never met him in your life.

If you're upgrading to Windows 10 you'd better keep a close eye out for shit like this: Microsoft is doing more data gathering than ever with the new OS, up to and including your keystrokes. They're also using a P2P network for downloads and updates, so you'd better hope they don't get compromised. You probably want to disable Wifi Sense too. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2943752/wifi-passwordsharing-feature-in-windows-10-raises-security-concerns.html And this isn't as important but I just find it fucking tacky. Solitaire is freemium now:

An hour and a half? Jesus, considering that they have the audacity to charge 50 bucks for the season pass, they should at least give you more than that.

So what does everyone make of this "Suicide Squad Joker is Jason Todd" theory? If you ask me, I think everyone's in denial.

Dem Bojack feels.

About god damn time they put the update on android.

The new season of Bojack Horseman premiered on Netflix today. I've binged through about half of it and it's way better than the first season so far, and I'm saying this as someone who liked the first season. Since the show is already established and the writers are no longer trying to trick you into thinking it's an average sitcom with the first few episodes, they can bring their A-game right from the start. It's funny, clever, and even profound at times. Edit: Finished season 2. I really loved the ending. Man, this show gets deep.

I actually was a Bungie fan back in their Halo days and I still regret Destiny more than any other PS4 game. I wish I could go back in time and unspend that money. Hell, I'd be happy if I could even trade in the game but my dumb ass bought it digitally.

I fully expect Batman v Superman to be a complete train wreck that makes a ton of money.

Oh god, that's the worst looking Joker I've seen since the one with the dreadlocks. I was willing to think "Hey, maybe it won't look so shitty in the actual movie" but NOPE. I know the Joker has lots of interpretations, but this just plain does not look like Joker to me. He looks like...Okay, do you guys remember Batman Beyond? Remember that biker gang called the Jokerz where a bunch of teenage brats dressed up in clown makeup to do petty crimes and Terry would take them out in one punch? Yeeeeeah.

No, you really don't have to take "the whole of literary history" into account when you're trying to write a story. In fact, that should be the furthest thing from your mind. Your one and only concern should be trying to write a good story with good characters, and if the story you want to write requires something bad to happen to a female character at some point, the last thing you should do is censor yourself because you're afraid of offending people. Joker's actions are SUPPOSED to be shocking. The whole story hinges on the fact that he crossed a line. Of course it's dehumanizing. This is the Joker we're talking about here. He's a monster. You can say that what he did was horrifying or that it has no place in print (though I would strongly disagree with that last part), but what you definitely can't say is that it's out of character for him. If you can't stomach seeing him at his worst, then I suppose Killing Joke just isn't a story for you, but I believe that you can't truly see the good guys at their best until they have been put through the bad guys at their worst. Jim didn't break. Bruce didn't break. Barbara didn't break. I do admit that we don't actually see Barbara's aftermath until a different book later on, but I get the feeling Timm's version will include that part. Just because he's adapting the Killing Joke specifically doesn't mean he can't pull material from other books to round the movie out a bit. Now, I do agree that the damsel in distress/women in refrigerators trope can be done lazily and be poorly written, but I don't think that's the case here and I certainly don't think female characters should be placed under glass, shielded from the same harm that visits the male characters. If female characters, especially superheroes, are to be taken seriously than they have to be taking the same risks that their male counterparts are taking. That's not so much an argument against Thursday's point as it is against the people who cry "misogyny" every time a female character is hurt or killed. Speaking of which, Mr. GOH... Misogyny means hatred, dislike, or mistrust of women. Show me a single page in that book that implies Alan Moore hates, dislikes, or distrusts women. If you absolutely must use a label, then saying it's sexist would be closer to what you probably meant. I would disagree, but at least that argument would make sense. Putting that aside, I think you misinterpreted the "Joker's backstory" part of the book. Even within the context of the book itself, the Red Hood story isn't meant to be taken as Joker's origin, but as a possible origin. He thinks about it as he looks in the mirror, but later on even he admits to Batman "Sometimes I remember it one way, sometimes another. If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice!" Even he doesn't remember what exactly made him the way he is, but what he is convinced of is that something happened to crush his spirit because the world is a cruel, awful, pointless place.

I'm pretty sure most people probably know what happens in the Killing Joke by now but just in case I'll put it in spoilers.

Bruce Timm, the god of the DC Animated Universe, has announced that he's going to direct an adaptation of Alan Moore's The Killing Joke. Predictably, certain groups are already up in arms. These people can all suck my ass. Killing Joke is one of the finest Batman stories ever written and I have been wanting to see it animated for years. I cannot wait for this to come out, especially since Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill have both expressed interest in being involved.

Speak of the devil.
