Pretty game, nice animation, but very forgettable. I went into this game after playing Borderlands, and it just seemed too small. If a company is going to make another Mad Max-style post-apocalyptic game, it needs to be open world unless it's expressly advertised otherwise. The scale just wasn't...

Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, but what's puzzling you is the nature of my game.

They're about 7 feet long, carnivorous, have an unpleasant disposition, and corrosive acid for blood.

I'm guessing they found metatron, the high energy yielding material used to power orbital frames. Now we can build Aumann, and usher in a whole new military arms race.

It's not the commercial that was before every video prior to the swap. Those are tolerable because they're often for the same product being talked about in the video anyway. No. It's a blaringly loud musical popup window. Remember those when they were on TV constantly, the decibel level of the...

Doomsday movie marathon. 2012, Armageddon, Mad Max, maybe some zombie flicks for good measure.

I might have to stop coming here if this continues. There is plenty of adspace on this site. Adding a popup in front of every video as a barrier for entry to see new content is a bit ridiculous. I didn't see a "suggestions" thread anywhere so I'll just add a suggestion here. This is not some...

I'm a light sleeper and I startle easily. I almost don't need an alarm. I get that most people can't help but sleep late if given the opportunity but if I need to be up at 5AM, I'll set the alarm for 5 but actually wake up at 4:55. I've always been that way. Maybe it's the idea of the annoyance...

Why is Crytek even worried about the console crowd? Anyone who plays solely on consoles shouldn't expect to see a Crytek game run and run well on dated hardware. I play both PC and console and am willing to admit to this. I have never played Crysis because I find myself constantly short on funds...

Eating a turkey and pigmeat sandwich as I write this. PETA ranks up there with Westboro Baptist. Any movie that uses as many animals as a Middle Earth production is going to have accidents and deaths. Stuff happens, move on. Back to eating my turkey and pigmeat sandwich, yum.

The Thirteenth Floor is a good one. It went kinda under the radar since it was released about the same time as the Matrix.

On that last note I kinda prefer the movie Dracula to the book. I know people hate it for Keanu's anemic acting ability, changes in narrative, whatever. But the end of the movie was different from the end of the book in this respect - in the book Dracula dies on the carriage. He's stabbed in the...

Texas. Not because it's the home of the Bush family, but because that would force us to relocate our school textbook industry to someplace less likely to revise and delete known facts.

"McAfee changes name to Secure Highspeed Internet Extra Layered Defense"

Videogames are like any other business - if the current iteration doesn't make more money than the previous, it's considered a net loss even though profit is still being made. It's a disgusting practice that's killing economies around the world simply due to greed. Gotta do better than last year...
