    For crying out loud, even Half Life 2 launched badly but now it's a darling of the community. It sucks but it happens. And Sean Murray went on the record so many times saying not to go into this game treating it like multiplayer. "If you want to run around on a planet with friends play...

    Yes, Minecraft is Still A Thing

    The same reason when discussing the cultural landscape of modern music we don't discuss the latest album by the Wiggles or whoever is the huge hit with the kids. It's not that they're bad, but they're almost their own industry. Minecraft isn't a game, it's a platform. And I actually...

    8 Celebrity Videogame Cameos You Might Not Remember

    Why does nobody remember Def Jam: Fight for NY? The entire cast is a who's who of rappers. And the story is hilariously silly. You're an up and coming street fighter who must defend his crew (which includes Ludacris, Flavor Flav, Redman and Method Man + More) against a rival gang (that...

    The Worst Part of Each King's Quest Game

    I did the same. It's interesting, usually the listicles have been written by relative randoms. Which they've copped flak for so I wonder if they decided to get Yahtzee in on it. I noticed what was up and closed the window at the first page, just popped in here to see if any one else noticed...

    Hoax or Horror Story Come to Life? Video Captures Haunted Puppet

    They already stated in the podcast. They're intentionally turning the escapist into buzzfeed. Because buzzfeed is more profitable. Cmon, get on the bandwagon! Never mind that they'll be late to the party in what is already an insanely competitive business model, while at the same time burning...

    NBC fires Donald Trump

    People keep confounding this and other people losing their jobs in these scenarios as an issue of free speech. When you openly wear your label of who you work for you do not get to claim freedom of speech while you wear that label. My Facebook account does not say who I work for nor is it...

    Has Eve Online changed enough to be worth coming back to?

    Dunno, I do play Dust 514 though and that still leaves a lot to be desired. They basically forgot about it for about 8 months and let it rot.
