    Deep Silver Apologizes for Mutilated Dead Island Torso

    Seems like they wanted something that referenced the Venus de Milo, but it didn`t work. However, if they wanted to court controversy, that was one hell of a PR stunt. Fan complaints aside, this story spread like wildfire.

    Best Addons

    BG2's Throne of Bhaal. Quite possibly the best expansion pack ever made for a 2D RPG. 10-20 hours of content, a crapload of new weapons, armor and recipes, a mega-dungeon, continually-topped boss battles and a hell of a finale/epilogue - and it's even better if you get the Ascension mod for it...

    Dragon Age Writer Calls BioWare Forums "Toxic"

    Here's the conundrum - Gaider's not wrong, but he's not exactly right either. The people batting around this "Bioware forums have always been garbage, hur hur" opinions are woefully ignorant of the site's history and how it changed over the last short while. The BSN, as we know it now, is...

    Both BioShocks Combine for Ultimate Rapture Edition

    According to most online sources (including TVTropes, where it's listed as a Trivia entry), it had the following:

    Terminal Reality Reveals Walking Dead FPS Footage

    If that's the case, that makes the footage even worse. The game's due out next year (most accounts seem to peg it for a spring release), and the game's still in pre-alpha? It doesn't matter whether they intended it for "promotion" or not, because they showed it online (on IGN's YT channel)...

    Both BioShocks Combine for Ultimate Rapture Edition

    The only way I'd pick this up is if it included the alpha/beta version of Bioshock 2 (which had the Russians as enemies instead of the various Rapture enemies). Otherwise, they can keep their cash grab. A handful of stickers and a concept gallery aren't enough to sway me.

    Is this Pirating?

    Yes, it does matter where the software comes from. This is where the inaccuracies in this topic come from. If I downloaded a product from a torrent site, and (in the process) allow 3 or 4 more people to get the same product via sharing of chunks of the same file, that is piracy. Plain and...

    Biggest plot holes in games

    http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlotHole (under the "Video Games" section) http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VoodooShark Indeed, there are a lot of plot holes in just about every medium.

    The Escapist's Game of the Year 2012

    I'll post the same thing that I (and a user before me) posted on the topic: Point is, the original argument was nonsensical and easily disproven.

    The Escapist's Game of the Year 2012

    We've already had this argument innumerable times, and each time, the people who defend the game come up with the same nonsensical arguments. 65,000 votes in favor of anything, regardless of whether it's right or wrong, and especially when it's the clear majority by a long shot, is a definite...

    The Escapist's Game of the Year 2012

    Oh, really? http://social.bioware.com/633606/polls/28989 You call a 91% vote for "endings suck" evidence of a "majority of people that didn't mind the ending"? The debate has still raged over the last nine months, and it has no end in sight. The only thing this poll proved is that there...

    Amazing Spider-Man Ends With Issue #700

    It's why this phenomenon is called, as TVTropes put it, "Running The Asylum". It seems like Quesada is still at least partly to blame, as he believed that if Peter wasn't de-married and dating again, he would "grow old and die off". It seems like at least part of that philosophy rubbed off on...

    Recommend me some books.

    Depends on what genre/style you look for, where you live, and whether you like simple/complicated reads or not. Two classics I always recommend are Conrad's Heart of Darkness and Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. If you're Canadian and like books about the journalism industry, there are two...

    So What Did You Get For Christmas?

    $200 Chocolate 42" TV from my mother (which I didn't need, and asked her to take back) Blu-Ray player (also didn't really need) $15 Subway gift card Aldo boots 3 hours of my family lamenting their past relationships Pretty good, overall.
