    Five Nights at Freddy's and the Nature of the Jumpscare

    This: The other thing the jumpscare can do is signal the call to action: something's jumped out and it's time for you to think fast and deal with it. I don't dislike Doom 3 as much as some people for its monsters constantly pulling the jump-out-of-cupboard trick, because I was carrying a...

    EB Games Australia is Pulling The Elder Scrolls Online From Store Shelves

    This. You win one internets for being absolutely correct (in my extremely limited estimation anyway)

    Remission

    Totally agree with you, but am really tired of hearing Americans try to debate the worth of socialized healthcare. I am certain at this point that most of them just simply do not get it or do not want to get it.

    Zero Punctuation: Sonic Boom - Boom or Bust

    Goodness, I wanted to love Thief so much. I am so sad that it sucked so badly. "Garret" could only climb certain things and follow specific paths. I would nearly bump it up a few spots, but I guess I am no Yahtzee.

    How Stephen Colbert Saved America

    I am not American, and am in no hurry to eviscerate you. :) If I recall correctly, the biggest difference between Liberals and Conservatives breaks down thusly: Conservatives think it is the job of the local community to look after those who need help. Liberals believe it is the role of the...

    Zero Punctuation: Dragon Age: Inquisition - Fantasy Commander Shepard

    I would much rather a game like Dishonored, where the sandbox is smaller, but there were so many nooks and crannies to explore, than a large empty space. Also, Dishonored rocke - just sayin'.

    Scientists Break Energy Record With "Tabletop" Particle Accelerator

    I am going to admit that I did not understand almost anything about this article. Plasma Giga-Electrons? It sounds awesome, and I feel very sciency reading this, but this is well beyond my comprehension. I suck apparently. Now I am going to go and cry.

    What if Goat Simulator Was an MMO? Free Expansion Coming

    When I thought that game couldn't get any more awesome - they go ahead and make it even more awesome! I still love this game. Bahhhhhh

    Poll: Do you enjoy Moviebob's content?

    I find I enjoy his content often. I was really very miffed with him around the Mass Effect 3 stuff. Gamers are not entitled and neither is art inviolate. That turned me off his stuff for a long time. Lately however I have started watching his stuff again and enjoy the quality as well as...

    Dragon Age is Back in a Big Way with Dragon Age: Inquisition

    I hope it is good, BioWare has a LOT to apologize for over the past few years. perhaps this will be the beginning of a redemption?

    Scientist Sleeps with Bed Bugs to Prove His Invention to the Military

    Well played sir. Well played. That said, it is fairly rare that you NEED fire, sometimes you just WANT fire. In deference to your wit I will amend my statement. Bed bugs are on the very short list of things that I WANT to kill with fire. :)

    Scientist Sleeps with Bed Bugs to Prove His Invention to the Military

    Seriously bed bugs are on the very short list of things that need to be killed with fire. Expensive little buggers and they just need to die. (and surinam toads - because they really freak me out.)

    Zero Punctuation: Destiny - Always-On Grind

    Wasn't as clear as I would've like to have been. What I meant by "forced" was why couldn't I enjoy a single player adventure in the world, all by myself. Especially one that didn't require xboxlive gold etc etc. Just whining really. The game looks gorgeous, and Bungie does great things but...

    Zero Punctuation: Destiny - Always-On Grind

    This is one of those games I would've bought in a second if it was not for the damn multiplayer. I just wish that they would stop forcing multiplayer into games. I hope people enjoy this game, and I look forward to a non-multiplayer release.
