An important point to make is that any decisions or lessons a video game character can learn is entirely arbitrary. It is an interactive medium that depends entirely on the input of the people playing it. The narrative and character arc has to make sense, there needs to be some kind of...

The prequels suck, and it's not just nostalgia talking. I watched both the prequels and the originals as an adult. Anyone with any sense of critical thought in regards to cinema can recognize the overall shittyness of the prequels. In fact, I think star wars fans have a tendency to forgive a...

A perfect world always seemed like a rather dangerous idea, perfect by whose definition? People don't achieve things by striving for perfection, though it is often used as a counterargument against any possibly change by idiotic populist politicians. IE, if a solution isn't perfect then it...

You do realise that you didn't really review the film, I mean with the exception of this line "Tideland is beautifully shot. Gilliam is a master behind the camera, no mistake, and the cinematography is astounding. The story, an adaptation of what is evidently a really good book, is also quite...

28 weeks later isn't a bad movie it just makes no sense in the context of the first movie. Most people don't count it as canon and neither do I.

I don't think blizzard actually understands how this looks to 95% of people out there. I guess the easiest analogy I can think of for those people that "don't get it". Not that I really understand whats not to get. Some people are kind of missing the point entirely. It's not an issue of...

Once developers figure out how to code properly for the PS3, Sony will just send PS4 stickers to all their customers.

An interesting point, I can understand the inherent difficulty of making a 40k MMO in relation to its size. But obviously it would not all be available straight away. Even WAR doesn't cover the whole Warhammer world. But most fans don't seem to mention that in their complaint, or that its...

Why try and create ANOTHER fantasy mmo on top of the already existing million of them? Why not go with War40k? I still personally want to try the game. Though I'm at least 4 months away from being able to, time will tell.

I think of it like this. I have to work 5-6 hours to be able to buy a 100-120 dollar game. More than half the time the game just does not provide that many hours of entertainment for me to consider it a worthy purchase ( This isn't just related to game length in hours ). Then you have things...

I don't believe games will ever prioritize storylines when 9 out of every 10 gamers I know skip the cut scenes and storyline elements to get to the "meat". Games like half life and bioshock are successful for completely separate reasons. There is a massive quantity of players that are...

It was never proven he was a pedophile, its been in and out of court for ages, seemingly because people just kept coming out claiming they were molested by him. The whole thing always seemed like a massive farce. It's possible that it has truth to it but considering how it all played out, it...

whine whine whine, ***** ***** *****, moan moan moan, cry cry cry. Oh no, I'm so sad, let me just wipe away my tears with this handy hundred dollar bill I have in my wallet. Honestly if they are so disappointed why don't they go immortalize themselves by dying in a plane crash like all...

The wife twist is totally stolen from neon genesis evangelion. For those that aren't in the know the kids that controlled the giant robots in evangelion had to sync with the mechas which were implanted with the souls of their dead mothers.

I think any forum where there is a massive amount of members and a large number of non controversial threads breeds this. If your not talking about abortions, religion, politics, war then I think posters just kinda blend into each other. On some forums I found myself amalgamating several people...
