Here's the Dorito pope himself expanding his Professional Network:

Here's their website. Judging from the silhouettes, they seem to be going for that slightly cartoony art direction that every spy game must use, for some reason.

Thanks, darkpatriot!

Nope. Fuck you.

More evidence JJ Abrams is a fucking loser.

[Irenaeus II]

Nice reboot.

Looking forward to this being a decent enough game that will bring joy to millions, but being treated by the Codex as the entertainment equivalent of genocide.

The new Star Trek is okay, it certainly wasn't raped or anything. I don't feel the friendship of Kirk/Spock in the new franchise, but I do feel some erotic tension coming from Spock, which is a new interesting aspect I suppose. Considering the times we live in, it could've been much much worse in all possible regards.

That would be the complete opposite of Alpha Protocol.

JJ gonna ad the Alias style to Spyjinx?

IMDB has JJ listed as a producer for a film called Half-Life...
"An Amercian scientific research facility opens a portal to a hostile alien world, who begin to invade the earth."

 

[InspectorRumpole]

So many nopes in that news post.

Alpha protocol often felt like players were controlling through a touch screen, so it won't be so different this time around.

Lmao, my thoughts exactly.

 

[Sensuki]

This just goes to show you where the money is in the entertainment industry these days.

It's not Star Trek, though.

Like most Star Trek movies, arguably, but those two really take the cake.

 

[Junmarko]

Stopped listening after iOS was mentioned.

 

[Latro]

iOS

abrams

LOL

 

[Jaesun]

Will it have lens flare?

 

[Excidium II]

It'll have interracial love for sure.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

The new Star Trek is okay

Maybe if you're able to ignore the most absurd time-travel plot in the history of human race.

 

[Forest Dweller]

Wow. A video with three people in it, and all three people are fags. I don't believe it.
