    GTAV's Characters Are Just Bad

    Surprisingly, for the first ever GTA I've played, I've grown fond of GTAV. I find the characters to not always be likeable, and Trevor is psychotic, and an asshole, but he's got a certain way of being a total asshole, while still being a somewhat likable person. He furthers himself and friends...

    The Big Picture: Celebritoons

    Well those are images I can't unsee, thanks Bob It's both weird, and interesting to see what was produced back in the day, and how the times have changed between then and now. Though I still don't understand how anyone working on Hammerman heard that theme song and said "Yep, I have no...

    The Big Picture: It Seems Today ...

    Whoa...hold on...Tosh.0 is hated? Huh, I find that enjoyable. I like Family Guy in that it's something fun to watch. When I'm playing Skyrim or CoD and want to listen to actual music, I'll pop it on Netflix or whatever. I don't hate it, don't overly love it, but I do enjoy it. Maybe I'm...

    WoW Player Hits Level 60 Without Picking a Faction

    The neutronions would be proud. That also takes some serious stones to grind 50 levels without cracking and breaking down and picking. He's a stronger man than I.

    The direction of gaming

    The only thing I want to see is a rise in quality of games, and people doing it the same reasons they make movies, to tell a story and create an experience. With movies, even "So Bad Their Good" movies have a place in culture. The only real "dull" movies are ones that play it safe and take...

    What was your best kill ever in a game?

    Best kill I can remember was in Halo 4. On, the map with the large tower in the center, an opening on on side of the map, and a closed wall with the elevator going up on the other, I was jupmping to see over the ledge created by the incline ramp. Saw two guys while playing SWAT, and got a...

    Has Gaming Changed Your Character?

    I've started using phrases that you shouldn't in public while playing games, and think them when upset. I don't use them on a mic, or outside the game time, but when I talk like that and really pay attention, it's upsetting to think that in today's world that I use that kind of language, even...

    Jimquisition: Go Fish

    I can understand why, but at the same time, if he really enjoyed and had a passion for games, he'd instead use the criticism to grow as a creator and a person, instead of letting it drag him out of games. Though I really don't understand sending death threats, especially to people who...

    Update: Fez Dev Tells Media Member To Kill Himself

    Never played Fez, in no rush to, in less of a rush to now. Honestly, I'm glad this guy is getting out of video games. Why would we want to play games headed by a guy who doesn't have the heart and drive to create a great game, and silence critics and those against them with their works, rather...

    Why Games Will Only Get Cheaper

    Video games are a luxury, but the fact that they're charging us $60 for a new game, and then acting like we're ripping them off when we can't afford it just bothers me. While looking to the past is something we should do, in this case I agree with many others, and say that the prices then...

    Microsoft Exec: Offline Gamers Should Stick With Xbox 360

    Wow...if that isn't a slap to the balls of people with limited internet, I don't know what is. Honestly, saying that the way he did is like being a jerk...how can this guy not be in trouble after saying that? He just insulted people who have no or limited internet connection. Shame on you...

    Escape to the Movies: Iron Man 3

    I personally enjoyed it. The plot focused on Tony, but set up the other characters nicely. It had humor, drama, some good action, and personally I thought it was a great movie. I still prefer the original, though that's me, and I also didn't HATE the 2nd one, just thought it wasn't as good as...

    Escape to the Movies: Evil Dead

    I rushed after work with my friend to go see this movie at a midnight release, and personally, I thought it was probably an example of a perfect horror movie. By that, I don't mean it was perfect, there were things you could have changed, or done differently, but it did everything you expected...

    How come Tomb Raider gets away with it?

    Probably because those strategy folks are different from shooter folks on XCom? Though the problem with pre-release talk is that it's all hype, speculation, and rumors. Until you get in your hand the finished, final product, there's a billion and twelve things that could happen or be said or...

    Why certain people will defend a clearly bad game

    You only notice them "defending" games when the general consensus, or overall view is a negative game, or critics come out and call it bad. And they're defending it, because they enjoyed it, plain and simple. The great thing about media is that for everyone who partakes in it, there is one...
