    Poll: A Game Must Stand On Singleplayer Alone

    I cannot play League of Legends, because I cannot bear to represent poorly. LoL gives two training missions, about twenty minutes each to learn the game, and then you are given a choice of hero with zero training it them, and expected to expose other people to that lack of expertise. No...

    The real problem with sexism

    This is just math fail. Really. If half of all people on Earth are female, then for every little patch observed to contain More Men Than Women, there must automatically be another little patch somewhere else that contains More Women Than Men. Funny you don't hear about that patch much...

    So....Mass Effect 4

    This probably means that Bioware has learned that advertising player choice does not work well, and instead they will create a linear interactive story telling experience. I'm guessing Uncharted clone.

    Marijuana Legalized in Two States

    The federal Drug Enforcement Agency is jealously guarding their jobs, and it's still a federal crime to posses weed in any quantity. It will be some time before we can disassemble that institution. Perhaps a series of budget cut backs in Drug Enforcement over the years will assist in it's...

    "RL girls are 3D pig disgusting"

    No, it's ok honey, I love it when you fart. And your ass doesn't look fat in those pants. And yes, I would love to spend some more time just talking. Sure, you're just as good as a man at whatever men do. What's that? You're ex-boyfriend called the other day? Sigh...Ok, I'm so mad, I'm so...

    Have you ever posed as a girl in a MMORPG?

    Age of Conan, I played the female glass cannon fire breathing ball of fury toon. It was a whole lotta fun. First, since the Age of Conan dev team decided to nerf everything into stupidity, I didn't wear armor. Just panties and a bra, all the way to level 40 or so. I told people I was...

    A Zero Punctuation Review Review! (BL2)

    Yahtzee made it clear that he was aware something was wrong with Wilhelm's reputation vs it's performance. But that sense that "I smell a rat" did not reach resolution when Jack revealed the trick. Apparently he quit playing before arriving at the moment where he could have said "I knew it!"...

    Movies that are your secret guilty pleasure

    Observe & Report. I discovered that I was liking the movie, even while I was watching it. Didn't think I would.

    How Far Can A Franchise Push You (Before You Just Quit)?

    Borderlands DLC Secret Armory of General Knoxx. I had a good time and got some kickass stuff there. And ya know what? I'm done. I don't want to start another round of murder spree 101 with a pea shooter.

    Why nobody should be complaining about launch-day prices

    FTL: Faster Than Light Torchlight II Warlock:Master of the Arcane Dungeons of Dredmor ...No, most games do not cost $60. Take yer sales pitch and cram it.

    Poll: What percentage of games that you purchase are brand new, $60 titles?

    New does not equal $50+ dollar games. I don't buy games based on how expensive they are. I had a great time with Warlock:Masters of the Arcane, Faster Than Light, and Dungeons of Dredmor. I Bought Torchlight (wasn't my cup of tea), and Endless Space (bit of a disappointment). I Skipped...

    How far have you gotten in FTL

    The thing I like most about this game is how it plays outside the life of one playthrough. The thing I like least is how little impact the player has on the outcome. For instance, you might learn that the antmen cruiser is only available from antmen homeworld sectors. But you don't actually have...

    How far have you gotten in FTL

    I beat it today on easy! Score:3239, with an Engi Type-A cruiser. My final weapon loadout was two Ion Cannons, a burst laser, and three attack drones. Something I haven't seen anywhere else is a tactic I like: Leave the doors open for all non-essential rooms, so that fires don't start, and...

    Games you didn't like, but you liked the idea of

    Endless Space. I love 4x games, and am currently enjoying Warlock, Master of the Arcane. Endless Space is pretty, and it seems to be right up my alley. But the game behind the graphical curtain isn't all that and a bag of chips. It's just the bag of chips, and lots of promises for the future...

    Say something nice about Mass Effect 3.

    It gave us a good look at journalistic integrity in the video game industry.
