Critical Hits & Misses #341

• Mess with Jeff, prepare for death. In the never-ending battle of dealing with the toxic elements of Overwatch's playerbase, Jeff Kaplan performs an epic takedown of a forum troll who tried to play innocent on why he/she received a temp-ban in Overwatch. 


• Marvel's (white) Editor-in-Chief has apologized for posing as an Asian writer, and says he's listened to what people have been telling him about why it was wrong. We'll see, I suppose. 

For today's musical hit, we have "It Feels Like Christmas" from Panic! At The Disco:

Today's critical rolls: Are you ready for the holidays? Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, most likely you have some time off coming up. What are you planning on doing?

Critical Hits & Misses #258

• It's not really news that the world of comics attracts trolls. Bleeding Cool has a blog post about how bad it seems to have gotten, especially of late. 


• Shaft is being remade, and over at the Cinema Blend blog,  there's a discussion of Tim Story's approach to the remake. 

For today's musical hit, we have Lorde and "The Louvre"

Today's critical rolls: Randomly, I've got war movies on my mind today. Are you a fan? Why or why not? What's your favorite if you are a fan? (movies about actual historical wars, even if the characters may have been fictionalized, like Dunkirk, Apocalypse Now, heck even Forrest Gump, etc).

Critical Hits and Misses #13: August 24th, 2016

• Rayman Origins is available for free on Uplay for a limited time. If you ever wanted to check it out, now’s your chance. (Dominik)
• The 80s movie Lost Boys is coming to TV—as a story spanning decades, and with constantly changing human characters. In other words: probably not like Lost Boys at all, but Rob Thomas (the guy behind Veronica Mars and iZombie) is adapting it, so there’s reason to be hopeful. (Tova)
• "How Trolls Are Ruining the Internet": title says it all. (Ivonne)

• Critical Hits & Misses Question of The Day #1: What actor would you pay 1.5M to cosplay their own character and entertain a party?
• Critical Hits & Misses Question of The Day #2: What is the worst fictional language? (And, why is it Bizarrospeak?)
• Critical Hits & Misses Question of The Day #3: Which foreign movie star should be the next star of Star Wars?
