    Google Reveals Its Electric Self-Driving Car Prototype

    I look at the front of the car and think that it's had a truly horrified experience. It's like it's thinking to itself "I have seen some shit, people..."

    Halo 5: Guardians Coming for Xbox One in Fall 2015 - Update

    I'm sorry, but... Halo 5: Guardians. This is the next chapter for Master Chief, and... Guardians. Is there a problem with just Halo 5? That worked the last 4 times, why change it now?

    VGX GoTY 2013 Award Roundup - GTA V Wins Game of The Year

    Honestly, at the end of the show I was actually enjoying the stuff he was doing PRECISELY because the VGX was such bullshit. He clearly wasn't interested in most of the scripted lines - which is where I think most of the 'lul vidya gamers are shit' quotes came from (and Spike TV has NEVER been...

    Official Says GTA V District Could Ruin Reputation of Real Town

    Now, there's a few ways for me to examine this story: 1) Rockstar did add in Hawick for the hell of it and didn't consider whether it was possible that there would be a real impact on the perception of the community (most unlikely option, IMO); 2) Hawick officials are using the 'violent...

    EA Explains Why Dragon Age: Inquisition Isn't Dragon Age III

    So, we're going the Assassin's Creed route now? I won't lie, I haven't really gotten into the DA series like I did with ME. Granted, DA1 was a wicked game, but I dunno why I didn't buy DA2 on day 1. Then again, after the reviews came in, I kinda held off on the game and haven't looked back...

    Arma Developer Takes On Mars Exploration

    I think you underestimate the ability for people to enjoy the ever-loving shit out of realistic simulators, even if it sounds, on paper, boring. Besides, there's also potential mod support that could really spice the game up when/if handed over to the players. I can imagine some very creative...

    Italian Amazon Reveal Hints At Next-Gen Mirror's Edge 2

    Granted, I would have loved to get my hands on Mirror's Edge, considering I've heard quite good things about it, and a potential sequel sounds amazing, but can we just take some time to consider the following: I'll be fucking damned if I'm going to throw bloody $130 at every new game that...

    Sony Launches World's Fastest Personal Internet in Japan

    Pretty much the same over here in Canada - I'm currently in the Capital finishing my 3rd year of study - though there is one day that still haunts my nightmares whenever I think of internet connection up here... *shivers* that was a bad, near-rage inducing day, that was...

    Cute Zerg Conquer Heart of the Swarm Trailer

    Well, the good thing about the trailer is, that was probably Kerrigan's fantasy being played out... you know, in a dream. Which it was. Just my two cents on the original trailer. Otherwise, d'awwwww...

    Save Scummer

    I want to bring up an example of a video game - including expansions - that also pull this concept off quite well: Mount and Blade. I absolutely adore this game, both for what is possible to achieve in this game and just the general feel of combat and how it works. To transition quickly from...

    Sorry, Mass Effect 3 complainers

    I'll admit: I also waited months after ME3's release to actually play the game (I was in university and never brought my 360 with me because I knew it would be too distracting). So when I got into ME3, I expected the worst. Many hours later, great reconnecting with my ME friends and nearly...

    EA Launches Mass Effect 3 Discs into Space

    "Later on Fox News: Not content enough with exposing our children to lesbian pron, Bioware now intends to potentially kill American citizens by dropping video games on us from SPACE!!"

    Bioware to Fix Error-Laden Mass Effect Novel

    All right, my two cents on this: Yes, I'm incredibly pissed off to hear of Deception and how error-riddled it was. While I haven't yet gotten into ME novels due to time constraints, I do plan on getting those books in the near future because the Mass Effect series has, in my opinion, a...

    Scientists Successfully Harvest Energy from a Cockroach

    ... I feel like I should critique this. Right, let's do this. It's actually not that weird at all, actually. Cockroaches generally aren't liked by humans. They happen to be associated with eating our food and not being healthy for us when in close proximity. Aside from our biology...
