    Leland Yee (anti-violent games senator) JAILED

    He was a Democrat with extremely anti-firearm stances in addition to his stances on video games. Dude isn't a conservative at all, just a corrupt man who wants to control people.

    3 Years Later: Mass Effect 3 Ending Revisited [spoilers!]

    Looking at it from purely an academic, story-line, tensions, rising action, climax, etc. etc. etc. view, it was absolutely horrendous. The action throughout the game ramps up to the ending, the storylines are all being wrapped up and tied into each other to come together in what should have been...

    Homeworld Remastered - Beautiful. Majestic. Flawed.

    That's definitely one way to do it. Jumping into the last mission with more ion frigates than the Taiidan have fighters is always entertaining. But every once in a while it's fun to play on hard mode and go through it without stealing too many frigates for the game to handle.

    Homeworld Remastered - Beautiful. Majestic. Flawed.

    This makes me probably more sad than it should. A huge portion of playing Homeworld was always making the right formations for the right missions. Bridge of Sighs, for example, taking a small fleet focused on destroying the inhibitor, using the right amount of stealth fighters in the right...

    Poll: Should Princess Zelda Still Need Saving?

    I actually think they could really run with this angle. Might be recycling a little bit of Twilight Princess, but it would be a twist to have Zelda be a true ruler of a kingdom, fighting off forces of evil led by Ganondorf. Zelda begins to lead armies into battle at the beginning, but is...

    Poll: Would you rather live five years past the point you wish to die?

    There are always more activities to do, more stuff to see, more things to learn, more life to live. Assuming I'm not crippled or addled to the point of not being me, I'd take five years past when I'm "ready" to die any day.

    screw dear esther

    There are many different types of writing, varying in length, format, genre, and more. The same can be said of games. Think of these not as novels, but as poems. They're not meant to tell an entire story, to write out and explain every detail, or to really tell a story at all. They're meant to...

    Check Your Privilege!

    49/100. Not privileged, apparently, despite being a straight white male in a middle class, accepting family. I'm pretty sure this quiz is shit.

    Shoot to disable instead of shoot to kill. Let's have an open talk about this.

    I don't know if you were taught this by a professional or if you've come up with it yourself, but your philosophy is legally very flawed. If you shoot someone in the leg and it nicks an artery they will likely bleed out and die anyway. If that happens, you're now saying you aimed for the legs...

    Shoot to disable instead of shoot to kill. Let's have an open talk about this.

    Already been said in various forms and ways here, but I figured I'd reiterate. When you're using a gun, you're using it as a last resort to a threat on the life or wellbeing of yourself or others. In these cases your goal is to stop the threat, period. Shooting for arms, hands, legs, shoulders...

    Is this the ugliest console generation??

    They're certainly not ugly. Bland maybe, but they're sleek boxes. You really can't call something like that ugly.

    Poll: CoD Dog vs Giant Enemy Crab

    As we all know, polygons is emotions. Since emotions is polygons and polygons is emotions. Since polygons is emotions, and books using believable plots is not emotions and may as well be fiction, then we can conclude that we do not require a believable plotline for a quality, high definition...

    What is the point of consoles anymore?

    The serious argument of this. I watch TV on my TV. Why in God's name would I want to watch TV through my Xbox on my TV? It's the same with movies. I watch movies on my TV. Why would I want to watch movies on my TV through my Xbox instead of through my DVD/Blu-Ray player? I can install and play...

    I just soiled my diapers.

    I shall follow in you fellows' stead and say Amnesia. The scare I remember the most was near the beginning. I can't remember exactly which area, it was one of the dark ones with the doors and hallways, but I was sneaking my way through as best as I could, opening doors slowly, being nice and...
