    Poll: Well how did you feel about the Purple Wedding (GoT Spoilers)

    I'd say it's because before he was deadset on his goal, now it seems like he's questioning the blind dedication by the followers of his mad religion, and he sees them for what they are. A danger to him and his family, which he overlooked because he was so obsessed by the throne and Melisandre.

    Twitch Plays Pokémon

    I don't know if this topic has been done (if it has, feel free to shut it down, but it didn't appear in the search engine), but I feel it would be ripe for discussion here. So what is Twitch Plays Pokémon? Basically it's a "social experiment" being streamed right now where the community of...

    8 Bands You'd Only Know If You Were Alive In The 80s

    Did you really put Depeche Mode and Journey on that list? Granted, most of us post-90 people only know Journey because of that one song, but Depeche Mode? Most people I know have at the very least listened to Enjoy The Silence, Personal Jesus or Just Can't Get Enough, and countless bands have...

    Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII Review

    Just because it's different doesn't mean we still need to like it. People like certain things. I liked the old style, and I'm not particularly fond of the new style. I'm perfectly justified in having that opinion, just like you are in having yours, and just like all the other old-school or new fans.

    Flappy Bird Creator Pulled Game Because it Was "Too Addictive"

    Well, imagine you're an up and coming game developer, and a game you just made for practice became a huge hit. Would you really want to be remembered for a poorly made, insubstantial mobile game rather than for titles you're actually proud of making?

    Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII Review

    I never said that, you can like whatever you want. It's just that we who preferred the old Final Fantasy games are perfectly justified in hating the newer generation of FF, given the abandoning of the old style that for us worked perfectly fine. Well, I personally found the change from diverse...

    Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII Review

    There is no "standard", but most fans of FF hate anything after X with a fury passion because the style in gameplay changed. I'm one of those haters. Anyone playing an old and then a new FF game will immediately notice the massive differences (apart from graphics quality).

    Of Dragons & Ruined Cities

    It's all about being able to relate to the people in question or being able to relate it to oneself. If something happened to someone on the other side of the world, it has nothing to do with you or anyone you really care about most likely. People from a different culture with a different...

    Question About Nintendo

    You're missing the point. They may have some unique mechanics, but what gets people bored is the fact that you still travel to different worlds/areas, collect all the stars there, then travel to the next world/area and collect stars there. Rinse and repeat until the princess is saved. The...

    Question About Nintendo

    Still, my point stands that Kirby has had very few big promoted titles during it's run, the last decade or so has been pretty sub-par for that series while the flagship franchises get churned out and promoted to no end. Which is probably why so many are complaining about the lack of variety in...

    Question About Nintendo

    Except you can. I love Nintendo to death, Zelda even more, but you can't deny they're always re-using the same concept and the same gameplay style for each of their games, with a few tweaks and changes every now and then. Most official Mario games will always include collecting stars or...

    Favourite Roguelike Games?

    I personally adore Risk Of Rain. Extremely challenging, it stays fresh with the randomized upgrades, and the soundtrack is brilliant.

    Strange things that get your blood boiling

    90% of all Youtube commenters. Seriously, it's a cesspool for stupidity. Especially when it comes to fandoms. PewDiePie's in particular. While I myself love PewDiePie and find him quite entertaining, so many of the comments are either poorly written, don't make sense, are trying to appeal to...

    Unwritten Passage Project Falters after Kickstarter Success

    You can't always predict the future. Complications happen, and they're even worse when they're close to home, which seems to be his case. From what I can gather the stall is caused by medical bills that suddenly appear, wrongly calculating the time he'd need to spend on the project causing him...

    Working in the games industry...

    So, what you're saying is that because their job is "easier" and more "privileged" than yours, they're not allowed to complain? Well, then, you have no right to complain either about anything, because there are starving children in Africa who walk ten miles a day just to get water. And some of...
