    Jimquisition: Stupid Sexy Bayonetta

    Look, we people who disagree with the feminists feel like we have to put in "I don't condone violence, but" because if we don't people are going to assume we are condoning violence, because that's the broad stroke we've all been painted under. If we don't agree with your views then we are the...

    Escape to the Movies: Transcendence - SkyNet? More Like SkyNot

    I don't think you got the point of the movie, the movie is playing on your expectations. You expect the AI to be the bad guy and the movie knows this. Spoilers: Throughout the movie it's trying to make you think what the AI is doing is bad, while subtly giving reasons why it's not. At the end...

    Jimquisition: Monetizing Whales For The Retention Of Virality

    The term whale actually comes from the casino business, referring to exceptionally wealthy patrons who come to gamble their access wealth away, which makes sense given how the f2p market has been saturated with cash in skinner boxes these days. It's a completely repulsive attitude to have but I...

    Name Game: Podi Puss Plural

    Languages evolve! they change! we decided we wanted to use the term octopi to be more consistent with other words like it. you are free to use the term octopuses but it is by no means fair to label it as "the only right form!" thank you ;) Cacti Colossi and Geniuses at least thats...

    Australian Attorney General Calls For Violent Videogame Ban

    Let me break it down like this, people are people, and people have ulterior motivations. Even if you get a board to be the defacto decider of what is and isn't appropriate for video games chances our their biases will leak through and games with hard hitting themes can get mowed down simply for...

    Australian Attorney General Calls For Violent Videogame Ban

    did you even read the thing? it's not about the ratings but a possibility of a ban. australia already refuses to sell some games and forces developers to make changes to the game. it is not qbout the ratong system(though if you knew anything about free speech the question that should be running...

    Extra Punctuation: Upcoming Games Won't Suck, Hopefully

    I'll just mention that the "spell casted at nothing" was basically a magic torch, look at the light and you see it clings to the wall

    Minecraft-like game, except 2d!

    I can't believe people are saying this is trying to rip off Minecraft. The point of this game is basically to level your character through equipment, building is not the big point (but building in this at least has a point, used as housing for npcs such as shop keepers and healers) There are...

    Well I have amnesia running, the only one of the potato games I own, I did get the potato for joining that group though. Let's hope we can get enough people soon, I was looking forward to this all night.

    Irrational: BioShock in the Sky Would Be "F**king Boring"

    Because it still uses plasmid type mechanics. Just because it's not going to be "exactly like" the first two doesn't mean it won't have some of the same elements.

    UK Atheists Hope to Eliminate Jedi Population

    You don't I was just pointing something out. You don't have to be associated with anyone, but calling your self an atheist does not automatically lump you in with all the other atheists. The word came about because it was important for people to get across that they do not buy into religion...

    UK Atheists Hope to Eliminate Jedi Population

    ... Atheism is not a religion. It is simply the lack of a belief in a theistic god. Most agnostics are really atheists when you get right down to it. The problem is not the Atheists themselves but rather the hate that was put into the word. It's been said before and I'll say it this time, if...
