    Zero Punctuation: The Curious Expedition & Mother Russia Bleeds

    Yes and no. No, Lovecraft did not believe what Yahtzee said ad verbatim; that was a joke. However, yes he did believe that they were inferior subspecies of the human race and he was extremely racist, even by the era's standards. That being said, I think it was when he was in his thirties that...

    How Pokemon Became a Pop Culture Sensation in America

    For all the franchise dicksucking in this article, they forgot to mention the ungodly amount of marketing dollars Nintendo pumped into the media that none of the other contenders of the 90's pocket monster craze could match, and what I think was the deciding factor in securing Pokemon's foothold...

    Big Screen Claptrap? Borderlands Movie In The Works

    I sincerely hope they go for the more gritty Mad Max-styled presentation of the first Borderlands. Unfortunately, I strongly suspect they'll opt for emulating more of Borderlands 2 and the PreSequel, because BL2 was more popular and was better marketed than the first one, as well as having been...

    How Intuitive Does A Game Have to Be?

    Cave Story actually does give you a hint on the first play through as what to do about the jetpack. In hte Pre-fab housing before the fight with Misery, The Doctor and etc. there's a journal that states that he would be able to make the Booster v2.0 "... If I live." It still doesn't...

    Saga Writer Talks Racial Diversity and Creative Freedom in Comics

    This guy comes across as a complete hipster. "I like, wanted to do, like, a story about an interracial married couple, but like, I thought like, they should also have wings and horns and shit, like, you know, because I wanted it to mirror ongoing issues in the real world, but was still...

    90s Nostalgia Soda SURGE Returns as Amazon Exclusive

    I find this bizarre. As a kid of the 90s, I remember Surge well, and it was shit - I recall throwing up after 2 cans of the stuff just from the amount of sugar in them. Granted, back then I was only 7 but compared to other sodas it felt like somebody just dumped an entire pack of sugar and...

    Game Theory: Why Living on BioShock Infinite's Floating City Would Suck!

    Dear Christ, I could not get through this video beyond 3 minutes. I actually had to stop and then watch it later. It's yet another case of a web-based show where the content is interesting, but the presentation is so bad it's causes me to cringe. The innuendo falls flat, the passes at humor...

    The Exorcism in Indiana - What in the Hell Happened?

    Page 3, second-to-last paragraph: It's "your", not "you're". 'You're' = 'you are'; "You are guess is as good as mine" - that sentence does not make sense. Aside from my nitpicking, I frankly thought this article sucked. What was it trying to say? When Robert Rath has articles about a...

    Escapist News Now: Is a Borderlands 2 Prequel Coming?

    First I was happy to hear that more Borderlands were in the pipeline. Then it all crashed when I heard it was a prequel. Let me get this out of the way, I still play BL2 because it is a better game in that all the mechanics are better refined and there is much, much, much more content...

    What modern video game would get you into gaming today, given your personality? (Context Included)

    Borderlands 1 I was raised off of old copies (Gen Y here, dear lord were the 90's weird) of Cadillacs & Dinosaurs and Mad Max/Road Warrior (not including Beyond Thunderdome, fuck Thunderdome) from my dad, so I felt an attachment right away to the sparse, sandy wasteland that was the setting...

    Watson AI Tasked With Improving Africa via "Project Lucy"

    Because the neither the plot of the book or the 2006 movie has anything to do with this, I only got the impression that you just worded your post that way just to name-drop "A Scanner Darkly" but no idea why - what's the connection between the article and the reference?

    FCC Chairman "Will Fight" to Restore Net Neutrality

    Both the Telecom companies and the FCC are shit. Both are corrupt and rather greedy in regards to their respective reaches of their power. However, I feel more confident in supporting the FCC in this one to at least restore the net neutrality playing board back to what it was instead of...
