    Female Game Characters Photoshopped to Average American Proportions

    The thing is that, the body shape you see, it's not even fit or athletic, it's morbidly thin. Active people don't look like an hourglass about to break in half if they leaned forward, with 100% of their body fat and muscles in their breasts and butt only. That's the article's point is that it...

    Female Game Characters Photoshopped to Average American Proportions

    Not to mention that even physically fit characters do have some body fat and muscle mass. Like the the original Naru from Legend of Zelda, is literally an hour glass shape that would crack open if she bent wrong. That's not fit, it's ridiculous. Nobody can 'lose weight' to be that shape without...

    Warp Drive Confirmed? EMDrive Warp Field Works In A Vacuum

    Ugh, I wish people would stop equating "NASA has skeptically looked at this" to "NASA has endorsed this and it'll be on shelves in time for Christmas". The press has gone apeshit because somebody with a degree glanced at it, which would be like if Gordon Ramsey looked at his shoe in disgust...

    Nintendo Patches Out Same-Sex Marriage in Tomodachi Collection

    I'm not necessarily saying you're a bigot, but the only people that actually find a gay (or non-white, non-male, etc.) protagonist, especially in a game where the protagonist is supposed to be 'yourself' as controversial are bigots, and that an argument that revolves around "He who throws around...

    Nintendo Patches Out Same-Sex Marriage in Tomodachi Collection

    I love bigots or apologists trying to defend the action based on "Well, it was a bug so they should fix it, fuck all consequences!", because your computer can't really tell the difference between a bug and working as intended. If it could there wouldn't be bugs period. The only difference...

    Jimquisition: SimShitty

    Yeah, I agree the the general sentiment of your video, but I guess maybe I'm just a lot more cynical than you because I'm pretty sure that people will tolerate a lot more horseshit than you think they will (just wait for people to come in here to defend EA on this one). Actually, I'm...

    Did Anyone truly enjoy Assassin's Creed 3's Singleplayer?

    You say regenerating health made combat easier but in 2 trilogy you'd get 30 health blocks and like 40 medicine pouches that were instant to activate. I'm not saying 3 was hard but you barely upgraded squat after 1/3 in the game. If you were even remotely diligent in purchasing Montirigioni...

    Sony Patent Hammers GameStop Share Price

    Ah, so believing Sony would block used or rented games from playing on a new console is "overblown" because Sony merely intends to enable others to do that same thing. What.

    On Gaymers and Cons

    I completely agree. When people hold a convention for gamers in general, nobody would tolerate it if somebody was like "Why don't they just go to the arts and crafts fair behind the church and talk about their hobby there instead? Or are they just trying to discriminate against old ladies and...

    Sony Patents a Way to Sabotage Used Game Market

    I have no doubts that this will be implimented in some way in the future, and that nobody will complain when it does. We as a consumer culture love to pretend we don't have nor deserve customer rights. We champion Steam and complain about how terrible and awful GameStop is, and Steam is the...

    Intel Strategy Shuts Out PC Enthusiasts

    Yes, people will always love having pre-packaged computers, and love getting 'what you see is what you get' machines. Tablets and consoles prove this point. But even people that want a pre-packaged computers aren't happy with the inability to swap parts out down the line. At the risk of getting...

    Gogogic CEO Says Single-Player is a "Gimmick"

    And despite that I'm watching the death of the MMO and most muliplayer experience that aren't 'social' single player games like Farmville. I'm not going to say multiplayer games are a gimmick but I will say that now's not the best time to try to say the MMO is the wave of the future...

    The Spoony One has been ejected from That Guy With the Glasses.

    It's not terribly surprising considering if you read anything he posts that isn't on his video he has about 0 tolerance for anything he didn't already agree with and was likely to fly off the handle, even if it's some mundane shit like you disagreed with what cola you liked better. He's...

    Rumor: Hulu To Require Paid TV Subscription Soon

    I hadn't watched Tv or movies in almost a decade until last year due to Hulu and Netflix. If Hulu wants to make the service expensive, cool. It's no skin off my ass to go back to not watching. And I'm not even threating piracy.

    The Half-Naked Elf Problem

    This is pretty much spot on. And a 'not entirely covered in metal' suit might convince me to roll a male character for once which is something I regularly don't do.
