    Jessica Chobot and Mass Effect 3

    I see her on Feedback all the time. Anyone who doubts the presenters because of the scripted TV shows that G4 broadcasts should look at what they do when they're not reading lines. Chobot and many of the other G4 people come off as very intelligent and knowledgeable about what they discuss. I...

    Director Kevin Smith Angers Buyers With a Fake-Out at Sundance

    He never said he was going to sell it. He said there was going to be an auction. A rather fine point, but a point nonetheless.

    My adventures on XBLA

    Monday Night Combat is good, will get better once they update and fix some exploits. Comic Jumper was pretty good as well.

    Barrack Obama to appear on Mythbusters.

    That's the reason. Good for him, promotin' book-learnin'.

    The Witcher: Any Good?

    I enjoyed it. Make sure you get the Enhanced Edition, though. If you can only find the original, you can download the EE for free from the website. Also, there are lots of side missions that are easy to miss, so make sure you read your manual before you finish a chapter. Well worth the...

    The American Civil War

    Most of the Northern States had banned slavery prior to the war. The Emancipation Proclamation only said that states defeated in war would have to give up slaves. The South hoped the British would assist them due to the cotton trade; unfortunately for them, the British were having fun in...

    The Force Unleashed 2: Early Thoughts

    As long as they promise not to re-release the game in a few months with exclusive content without making it available for download, I'll consider it. I enjoyed the first one, but I always felt underpowered. I'm a powerful badass, dammit, I can't be juggled around by grenades!

    Lord of the Rings

    Advice: Skip the songs, they are not important.

    Litigation and the fun you can has with it!

    Regarding the second option: That's not what happened. The coffee was so hot it warped the cup, and dissolved its way through the rim as it was becoming more difficult to hold. However, stupid litigation facts are more fun, therefore it became "Spilled coffee litigation."

    RPGs Don't Compete With Each Other, Says Witcher 2 Dev

    With regards to the Witcher, I enjoyed it, having picked it up for $20 once I heard some hype about the sequel. It's really fun so far, but I'm glad they came out with the Enhanced Edition. BTW, if you didn't know, the Enhanced edition was made available for free as a digital download for...

    Guys; I've had enough.

    Honestly, it's hard for guys, mostly because all the attractive ladies seem to already have boyfriends, and it's hard to tell who doesn't. Girls who are around your level can afford to be very dismissive, and those with more experience can tend to be a lot less gentle than yourself when...

    Idea I Had About the Illusive Man

    Illusive is derived from "illusion," which basically meant they couldn't find out if he was real or any information about him. Very similar to "elusive".

    Nerd's Eye View - Halo Reach

    A review of a review? OP: Good review, you get your point across. Also, Kat's voice actor was Israeli, so there's the accent.

    Bungie have "accidently" announced Reach DLC

    This is true. They are expanding the rank cap and adding armors. Presumably the new achievements are related.

    John Williams and why he isnt a great composer.

    I know, but I figured I'd say it before anyone else.
