    3rd Party Exclusives: The Declining Relevancy of Console Gaming

    Yep. "Long live the PC-Master race!" Handhelds are cool too, I suppose.

    3rd Party Exclusives: The Declining Relevancy of Console Gaming

    That was kind of what I meant. I didn't mean to say that having more features was in itself hurtful. I was saying that the lack of focus on their primary function (i.e. gaming) could be counterproductive, which obsessing over all the extra features can do.

    What do you do on the internet?

    I write, mostly. But that's just one of my weird quirks. Anything involving useful trivia or other science-y knowledge I'm all into. I like reading online encyclopedias and learning stuff as well. Also porn...

    Poll: Should women get the same prize money as men at Wimbledon?

    Mostly everyone else has said what needs to be said. They do less, so they should get less. It doesn't seem to bother most women that their representative players are doing less work, so I don't think much of it either. Then again, I've never met a woman claim to want to do more work in order to...

    Why I think "Gamer Girls" shouldn't hide.

    The truth is, ANYONE who exposes anything about themselves on the internet is going to get harassed or picked on to some extent. So pardon me if I find it difficult to sympathize.
