    Gearbox Opens New Studio in Quebec

    Actually, it's a Quebec City studio. So, that's Gearbox, Ubisoft and Beenox (they count for something, I guess).

    The Escapist Reviews - 1/144 HG Gundam Barbados

    I'm waiting for the Hi-Res Barbatos kit (is it even a kit?) or what ever the 1:100 scale line will be called. HG is a great starter line, but the stickers end up being a deal breaker for a lot of fans. Then there's the MG Freedom 2.0 or the new Impulse. Lots of good things coming up for fans of...

    General Fallout 4 rant thread (Spoilers aplenty)

    Faction: Institute. Because of my choices (in the speech, in my dealings with the institute, etc) the whole thing felt like my character would change the institute from within for a better future with the commonwealth. Companion: Cait, because of her awesome accent and out of all the...

    Good Bad Flicks: Exploring Sinister - No Cheap Jump Scares

    The best thing about Sinister 2 is that it's making people talk about Sinister 1. I loved the first one and consider it one of the best horror movies to come it in the past while but it never got much recognition. The sequal was really really bad though.

    Why Symphony of the Night Is Not True Castlevania

    Click-bait title with nothing of any real substance. Cool. +1 for "misguided garbage elitism"

    Dark Souls 2 - lacking atmosphere?

    A little late to throw my voice in, but: Dks2 and I just didn't click. I've played it through 4 times now (by virtue of it being a souls game, clearly) and I'm just not feeling it. Its world is alright, but it has nothing on the depth (and addictiveness) of Dks1's lore. The PvE is alright (hello...

    3DS Game Recommendations?

    SMT 4. FE Awakening (My favourite game on the 3ds). Bravely Default. Pokemon gen 6. Etrian Odyssey 4. (Very very good, but takes a special kind of player) Crimson Shroud (though kind of niche)

    Legend of Korra Book 4 Premiere Surprisingly Close

    Hey, they had genuine concerns! Shame they dropped that story line; it had potential for real world relevance.

    Legend of Korra Book 4 Premiere Surprisingly Close

    Given the shoddy writing and low view count, it isn't surprising they want it to end. I do too; at least then no more of my hope and expectations will be shattered.

    Who are your favorite YouTube LPers?

    I was wondering if someone would mention him! My boyfriend and I watch his XCOM let's plays everyday, his lack of skill makes him so entertaining. And he does have a great voice, it's very "radiogenic".

    What game made you fall in love with gaming?

    I was a bit of a late bloomer, I didn't start gaming until I was 15 or so (I'm 22). The game that really got me hooked to video game is general was Twilight Princess on the GameCube. It was the first long and 'difficult' (for me at the time, anyway) game I had ever played and I was really amazed...

    Games that you've abandoned playing

    Until my boyfriend and I moved in together, I rarely finished a game. Now he won't let me leave one unfinished. Mass Effect 1: I played it after 2 and 3, so I was already disappointed with it. Then I went to Virmire too early, didn't have enough dialogue options to save Wrex and had to kill...

    Power ups vs zombies 2 and pay to win

    I feel your pain, I basically lost all will to play since this update. The piñata parties are pretty much the only thing I like in the game anymore. The game was playable until the last few updates, but at this point is not even fun anymore. It's super disappointing, I liked the first game so...

    Best: Nu Gundam (Gundam boiled down to its quintessential strengths; simplicity at its finest) Worst: Strike Freedom (Blingy and Gaudy)
