The Thief reboot. I was honestly unprepared for the amount of vitriol I've seen levelled at that game, from people I'm quite sure have not recently played Thief: The Dark Project (which is itself not a bad game or undeserving of its landmark status but has aged very very badly). I honestly...

Deceptively, Growth is in fact the most powerful faction, though only because of one card: Quake. Some blame God Hand too, but in a faction with so little card draw God Hand really isn't useful because it's way too expensive and its effect only combines what two cheaper cards do. Wolves are...

What? The Geth Assault Rifle is one of only three rifles in Mass Effect 3 that ISN'T useless. Whenever I unlocked a new assault rifle in the multiplayer I would excitedly slap it on my loadout, only to return from an abject failure of a mission having remembered from the singleplayer what was...

I'm surprised nobody thought to comment about the boss-man's tie being the exact same colour as his shirt. Is that an actual military thing? Cause here it just looked like a missing texture map. And I'm pretty sure you're only allowed to flashback in someone else's flashback if you then tell...

I almost cried this is so perfect. A better landmark special than most of the stuff on TV, guys, well done.

Assassin's Creed. Perhaps I'd like them more if I played ACII (which I have heard is better) but I doubt it. I could definitely see from what I played of the first game that the mechanics were innovative and well polished and ought to have been fun but ultimately they just weren't and my...

And now we understand why Andy is on LRR shows so little while off having his acting career.

Wait wait wait... so Ben gets a credit for "Guy passed out on sofa barely in shot" but Alex is REPEATEDLY overlooked in the ending credits even when playing somewhat substantial roles?

Dear Mr Altmer President, You're not fooling anyone with that ridiculous costume. We knew that junk was dumb and you should too. Sincerely; Children of Riverwood.

Dear Mod-starved citizen Sorry, we can't. It doesn't work. We've already stated that the Creation Kit takes exception to the way the game loads textures (improperly) and crashes. We would like to solve this issue, but obviously it's not going to make a blind bit of difference until we fix...

Dear Dungeon cleanup and threat-entropy maintainence service (Skyrim branch); I know you exist. I'm not mad. I just wondered how you manage to do it all so quickly? I mean, with the number of idle bandits sitting around in Skyrim hiring them to replace the scum and villainy inhabiting a...

Dear Skyrim; The tolerance and accomodation offered by your natives reached creepy levels at the point when I realised there is only one tradesman-type-profession who will not happily surrender their own sensitive apparatus and equipment to an armour-wearing amateur who kicks them off their...

I'm not sure it is any more. And if it is, it's likely acceptable only to use it as an adjective, not a noun (as is the case with many such things). In any case, Volf99 is not a doctor (or if s/he is s/he is not acting in his/her professional capacity as one here) so the social term should be used.

I read only the primary parts of Mass Effect's codex because of the Codex guy and his goddamn wonderful voice. Seriously, I'd listen to that guy read a shopping list. Audiobooks in games? Do we have that concept?

I believe the politically correct term is "The intersexed", and I'm pretty sure there's a longer version of the title that they are in, but a fair point.
