    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Review - Pirate this Game!

    Then that something is a liar. I was a fan of it's opening, wasn't a fan of everything else. But cmon, really? Are we at the point where making a story a bit fantastic or out there is a bad thing? It's not like the first AC was grounded in reality, it was grounded in conspiracy theory and...

    Are you kidding? That just sold me on AC2.

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Review - Pirate this Game!

    So Escapist is now censoring posts that don't even make the claim but simply imply that they may be taking money for better reviews. Look I don't believe it, I was there for the "duke nukem" themed site, but when the site tries to shut people up for simply implying it, you give credence to...

    Boston marathon bombing halloween costume

    Sorry if the "rest of my comment" made you uncomfortable, next time I'll just state the obvious and jab at something stupid and popular like you did. So creative you are.

    Boston marathon bombing halloween costume

    That's true, and just as she has the choice to make fun of victims of a tragedy other people have the choice to be sickened by it and judge her for it. Freedom of choice and freedom of expression is a two way street. She has the freedom to dress as a bombing victim, her boss has the choice to...

    AC4... Am I being overly sensitive?

    That's easy to assume, we often see the things we "know" as absolute truth but the idea that we are the smartest species is based on nothing more than the fact that we can only communicate with our own species. You are basing the assumption that it's a "dark life" on the idea that this is the...

    AC4... Am I being overly sensitive?

    I wouldn't call it "no win" but that goes into a bit of unpopular territory. I have to say it though, we think of death as some horrible awful thing, fact is what if deer and other creatures are aware of something we are not? They have a sense of self preservation (to a point) but they don't...

    AC4... Am I being overly sensitive?

    I agree with most of that but to the last sentence, BS. Not all animals maybe but humans are not the only creatures to kill or maim without needing food or territory. I understand you can argue that it's ok because they are "acting on instinct" but on that note, the only reason people kill...

    AC4... Am I being overly sensitive?

    People have guns and attack you, animals torture other animals for fun. There really is no valid argument for killing people but not animals. Deer are not "helpless" in real life (I agree the game could have done a much better job of giving them some realistic AI) and despite what people say...

    Boston marathon bombing halloween costume

    A lot of people watch the show and think it's funny. People with a different opinion, horrible I know. Nobody "deserves death threats" but lets grow up. I'm willing to bet most of us here, being on the internet, have received death threats. I have gotten plenty of death threats, it's not...

    Boston marathon bombing halloween costume

    If you think the costume is "truly scary" or that the "scariness" is what offended people, you're probably too young to have a valid opinion on the subject.

    Did You Find "Amnesia: The Dark Descent" Scary?

    Seeing it for what it really is? So everyone that likes the game is just delusional, you are "seeing it for what it really is" and not at all just nitpicking? So again, you think that the people that like the game are wrong and that your opinion of the game is objectively true. Thank you...

    Grand Theft Auto 5 Review - People Suck

    Really? More misrepresentation of what I was saying. It seems people that try to defend this review can rely on nothing but strawman arguments. I don't really see a point in carrying on a conversation with you if you're going to cherry pick the parts of my posts you choose to respond to while...

    Boston marathon bombing halloween costume

    This reminds me of the boards after the RE5 trailer was revealed. "People are going to say it's racist cus black people" "Those people are so stupid! They are the real racists!" You guys are so addicted to argument that you can do it without an opposing view being present yet.

    If you are talking about the "dark knight shooting" you should educate yourself, he wasn't wearing a "joker costume"
