    Good Bad Flicks: WTF Happened to Movie Remakes

    It's a shame how many good foreign horror movies have been completely butchered by American studios. I honestly can't think of a single decent remake after The Ring

    Pillars of Eternity Review - More Than Homage

    These games are kind of daunting to me. But reading this makes me want to play that copy of Planescape: Torment I bought on GOG ages ago and never touched. Or maybe I'll start with the new Shadowrun since that's supposedly much shorter. Hopefully that can get me invested in the genre

    Zero Punctuation: The Order: 1886 - Steampunk Modern Warfare

    From what I've heard, it sounds like this game is everything I hate about modern AAA games. -Original sci-fi premise? Great, now let's have the player shoot generic dudes with generic guns 95% of the time and ignore what it's actually about -lacking in content? That's ok because it's all...

    MovieBob leaving The Escapist

    Sucks that he's out of a job but when you say the idiotic garbage that he did on twitter recently, it shouldn't come as a surprise. I hope he gets back on his feet soon... in a different industry

    Console exclusives that would have been great on PC

    For current games I'd have to say Sunset Overdrive and Bloodborne. Just because I don't have a PS4 or Xbone and don't plan on buying either for a while. MGS3 and 4 would be nice too. Just to complete the series on it. Everything else got MGS3 eventually so why not put it on PC?

    What do you have against The Witcher series?

    Don't really have anything "against" The Witcher 2 (haven't played 1.) I'm only 12 or so hours into it and I like the world and some of the situations it sets up are pretty interesting, even if the dialog itself is a bit inconsistent. It's absolutely gorgeous too But the characters are mostly...

    Jimquisition: The 100% Objective Review

    All I want from a review is to know why you think it is good or bad. And if a reviewer thinks his/her political opinion on a game that mildly offends him/her carries more weight than gameplay, I simply won't read that person's reviews. I don't understand what's so hard about that for some...

    Words/phrases that piss you off

    Non-GG: Bae, Shawty (what the hell do these even mean?) "could care less," sheeple (used unironically,) "[# of dislikes] must be..." on youtube, and the ever prevalent "like" GG: Feminazi and SJW (when applied to people who are actually being somewhat reasonable and not Tumblr nutjobs)...

    [Update 2] How/why are console gamers satisfied with 30 fps?

    I honestly don't care all that much. I understand that 60 is better, but it's a non-issue in the vast majority of games. When a game requires fast reflexes I'd prefer them to prioritize framerate, but otherwise I'll just take the best possible visuals at 30 fps. Of course, though, if I can...

    The Simpsons: How Will It End?

    20 years ago I wouldn't have been surprised to see it end with Homer's death. And it probably would've been a fantastic episode too. Now I have no idea how it'll end. I just hope it gets a proper finale before one of the main actors has a heart attack and they're forced to just cancel the show

    Jimquisition: It's Not A Video Game!

    Agreed. I despise Dear Esther, but not because it's "not a game." It sucks because it IS a game that feels like it desperately doesn't want to be one. It has all the disadvantages of a game and none of the advantages. Whereas The Stanley Parable takes similar gameplay but actually engages the...

    Poll: do you think smoking is attractive?

    god no. It's a massive waste of money, it smells awful, and have you ever seen a smoker's teeth? Disgusting. Plus, it will kill you. You have to be an idiot to start smoking these days, and idiocy is never attractive It looks cool in movies, but so do a lot of things

    ESA Survey Finds Nearly Half of All U.S. Gamers Are Female

    I have serious doubts about this in particular: 'a whopping 95 percent (of parents) said they "pay attention to the content of the games their children play."' I mean, I'm sure 95% SAY they do. but saying is not doing

    Game of Thrones Season 4 Ep 3 Review "Breaker of Chains" - Rape & Betrayal

    It seems like you're trying to disagree with me by writing exactly what I wrote in a different way. I know it didn't happen this way in the books. I also know this sort of ruins Jaime's character (at least the way he's been recently) in the show. I'm just willing to give the writers the benefit...

    Game of Thrones Season 4 Ep 3 Review "Breaker of Chains" - Rape & Betrayal

    I just have 3 questions. 1: what was the director was trying to depict here? (I've read interviews suggesting it was meant to be rape and others suggesting it wasn't.) 2: If he really was trying to depict rape, what are they doing with Jaime's character? I haven't read the book and I'm...
