    Zero Punctuation: Metroid Prime Federation Force

    Oh boy. And Yahtzee didn't even get to the ending. It's really not much of a surprise, given Nintendo's recent track record of demolishing all we hold dear.

    Why Does Immersion Matter?

    There aren't very many ways to describe the feeling I call "immersion" that don't sound very similar to this. It's when a game is so engrossing that you, well, forget about the outside world, if only for a time. I've spent numerous nights staring at Minecraft screen without looking away for...

    Student commits suicide after school refuses to do anything about bullying

    Except that self defense is a basic human right. Maybe the bully shouldn't have attacked an innocent person? I don't find punishing victims for fighting back to be anything short of outright evil.

    Student commits suicide after school refuses to do anything about bullying

    It would take a school willing to stand up to the parents of awful children. I don't see how punishing students for bullying won't work, so long as you make it damn clear that if the bullying continues, the punishment will scale exponentially. If that means expulsion by the third incident...

    Men allowed into the women's changing area. Bathroom debate.

    I never understood this argument. The vast majority of guys (at least in civilized parts) won't give a shit if a girl enters the bathroom. I've seen it happen before, and just assumed the girl's bathroom was full and she really had to go. No one* gives a shit about that. It'd be a much bigger...

    Poll: Favorite "Survival Horror" Resident Evil?

    I've only played mere minutes of REmake, 2, 3, Veronica, and Outbreak, and only 3/4 of the way through Zero. 4 is one of my favorite games of all time, and had some good tense horror at various parts, but I just never got to beating any of the earlier games in the series. Shame the series...

    Do you cheer over patriotic works hostile to your nation?

    I don't get why some of you are saying you "aren't patriotic" as if that's relevant. Being patriotic doesn't suddenly mean that any work that's opposed to your country is suddenly not worthy of enjoyment. That would be closed-mindedness, which often overlaps with patriotism but shouldn't be...

    The Jimquisition website got DDOSed just after reviewing No Man's Sky

    Well shit, my apologies. While he does say that the legitimate traffic was slowing it down, it looks like a bunch of script kiddies couldn't tolerate their 'perfect' game being criticized. What a bunch of children.

    The Jimquisition website got DDOSed just after reviewing No Man's Sky

    Errr...source? (On it being a DDoS, not his site being down). His review was the ONLY review on Metacritic for quite some time. It's very possible that his site just plain couldn't handle the surge in traffic. Is there at least have a statement by him on the matter? (Even then, there's a...

    Denuvo DRM has been cracked... again

    Twelve seconds of Google suggests yes. 8/v/ as a whole asserts that Doom 4 is a slow, boring cash-in that pales in comparison to even Doom 3, let alone the god-on-high that is Doom classic. Despite never actually playing it. God forbid you try to discuss the game there unless it's to say...

    Denuvo DRM has been cracked... again

    I can sympathize, because all of the promotional material was awful and completely misrepresented the gameplay. On top of that, they apparently released a demo...of the first level, which is significantly slower than later levels. Had I not played it at a friend's house, I'd probably be stuck...

    Denuvo DRM has been cracked... again

    Huh. Cool. I always like seeing problem solvers find a solution to a particularly difficult problem. Not because I want to see piracy, but because I like to see hubris being brought down to earth. Like rooting for the iceberg because so-and-so said the Titanic was unsinkable. Any challenge...

    New York Governor Asks Niantic to Help Block Sex Offenders From Playing Pokemon Go

    Perhaps for most "child sex offenders," sure, but there are plenty of people on those lists for, say, being 18 and sleeping with your 17 year old ("child") girlfriend. There are a number of perfectly normal young adults lumped in with kiddie-diddlers, hence why we should be careful of blanket...

    Why does Dark Souls get so much praise?

    I can't remember if there are any in DaS, but Demon's Souls had them in a few places. Most notably 3-1, since it keeps you from getting lost. Edit: Not the kind of sign Ezekiel was looking for, though, just a wing and floor level of a big prison.

    Are there any real-life issues that fiction SHOULDN'T address?

    It's funny you mention that. One of Issac Asimov's greatest short stories is entirely around the inevitable end of the universe. I highly recommend it: http://multivax.com/last_question.html OT: My answer is boring, but no, not really. I might not like it, but no FICTIONAL subject matter...
