    Most Satisfying Epilogues in Video Games

    Uncharted 4. A wonderful "where they are now" that also has something to build potential future installments off of, though I have no idea if Naughty Dog has any interest in that.

    Bad luck with roommates.

    I've only had one miserable roommate experience, and it's one I'm more than happy to put behind me. We'd moved into our 3 bedroom dorm. He, let's call him 'L', was a stereotypical frat boy - something I said to his FACE, and he took that as a fucking COMPLIMENT. First warning sign was soon after...

    Jim Sterling in court.

    I can't decipher the stuff on PacerMonitor, but it seems like Romine is stalling. Honestly, I'm surprised there's been ANY progress in this case - I'd assumed that any lawyer or judge worth their salt would learn the details of the claim, then just start laughing, non-stop.

    Games you like that you can admit can be a bit cringe-worthy sometimes

    Dying Light is great fun, but, it uses the trick of 'Hide an insta-kill exploding zombie around a corner and trick the player into instinctively swinging their weapon at it, effectively killing themselves" WAY too fucking much. First time, mildly amusing. Every time after that, it made me want...

    Blizzard to Remove "Sexy" Tracer Pose in Overwatch - Update

    Personally, yeah, I can get why the poster had problems - I mean, when I see that pose, my eyes are immediately drawn to 'dat ass', which kinda contrasts with Tracer's chipper nature. I mean, maybe if her outfit wasn't designed so it wrapped so snugly around her ass, like female armor in Mass...

    The slowest game beginnings ever?

    Kingdom Hearts 2, obviously; there were times when the game just didn't want to take off the training wheels and put pointless minigames in an effort to keep you from doing what you came here to do - beat the shit out of Disney villains with a giant key. Also, there's the tutorial for...

    That game is cheating!

    A lot of the bosses in Hearthstone's solo adventures, specifically on Heroic difficulty, can pull some shit that almost makes me wonder if I'm really playing against an AI or if a cackling dev on the far end is tweaking the game to ensure my defeat. Also, I remember in Call of Duty 4, on...

    That one boss/area that makes you think twice before replaying a game

    Sly Cooper and the Thievious Racoonus had that fight with Mz. Ruby which - at least the first time I played it - absolutely SUCKED. They advertised it as 'Voodoo Simon Says', but it was really 'Voodoo Guitar Hero' in that the timing had to be STUPIDLY precise, and dying made you do the ENTIRE...

    Best Snow Level - Share yours.

    Undertale's Snowdin level is the first to come to mind, if only because it's where we meet Sans and Papyrus, two of the year's best characters. Rayman Origins had that fun Gourmand Land level - which, admittedly, is half a snow level and half a fire level - as well as the Dragon Chef boss...

    Blizzard Will no Longer Report World of Warcraft Subscriber Numbers

    I ended my WoW subscription for the first time a few weeks back; I'm planning on jumping back in shortly before Legion comes out. The reason I ended it, though, was because of the way Warlords ended; it was just abrupt, we didn't spend a whole lot of time on Draenor, and we're supposed to...

    DELETED

    One Finger Death Punch [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kN6rYygppY0] is a good example; combat is responsive, a good example of 'easy to learn, hard to master', and every move, from the standard punch to the jaw-shattering kick that sends your opponent into the stratosphere, just shoots a...

    Becoming Emotionally Attached to Game Characters and Feeling Sad After Beating a Game

    Undertale is definitely one of the most recent examples of this. Also Walking Dead, and Twilight Princess for hopefully understandable reasons.

    Poll: Aggression and Video Games

    In a way, sssssssoooorrrrta-kinda? Just not in the way people like Jack Thompson would suggest (all the violence, guns, drugs, etc.) but in the manner of frustration - if a game is infuriating you enough, like you repeatedly get put with a crappy team in multiplayer, or there's one area in a...

    Well...I'm done with your company now

    I only had one experience with this company, but it was so atrocious it made me vow to constantly warn people away from it: SuperBiiz. I was building my first gaming desktop, and I ordered the motherboard from SuperBiiz because it was cheapest from there. I got the motherboard, but it...

    How many of you remember G4 TV's Icons?

    OH GOD, I remember G4 - specifically X-Play, when it didn't take itself so seriously. Amazing little skits like Splinter Cell Bob and Steve, hilarious reviews, repeated jokes towards the interns... Hell, it's because of X-Play that I ever came to the Escapist when they had preview clips of Zero...
