    Dub VS sub a real discussion!

    I used to be a sub elitist, but over time I realized something: Generally speaking, the shows and games for which I developed an emotional connection and general affection were primarily in English. Cowboy Bebop, FLCL, Baccano, Metal Gear, Redline, FMA--I think I connected with them primarily...

    Metal Gear Solid and rape

    Honestly, I'm not happy about this answer, but if things happened like you said, then we wouldn't get the setup with the doctor on the helicopter, who is clearly going to be important in The Phantom Pain. (Like, we never see his face, he sounds exactly like Kiefer Sutherland, we don't know if he...

    Call of Duty: Black Ops III's First Trailer Shows a Gritty, Cybernetic Future

    No and yes. To address your last point first, I believe that you can and should disregard whatever tone is set forth by any game's marketing department. Look at Dead Island. Look at Spec Ops: The Line. The marketing department cares about what will get attention, not about what it's...

    Bloodborne Review - Full of Dark Souls

    I've been playing Demon's Souls for the first time the past few weeks and I am right with you. But that problem was quickly alleviated by my own stinginess. See, I was only using Crescent and Half Moon Grass to heal, and then suddenly I realized that I had 90+ units of both Late and Full Moon...

    Arkham Knight Delayed Yet Again... But It Looks Fantastic

    But they took away my birthday present to give you that present! Grrr! I'm loving the trailer, and I'm glad Oracle's more than a voice in your ear this time, but I feel like having a hologram of the police commissioner's daughter hovering over your arm in a town full of criminal psychopaths...

    Saddest moments during a game? (Spoilers inbound)

    I'm going to not mention Final Fantasy like everyone else (but on that note, RIP Yang and Cid--your deaths came too close together, like a one-two punch of sad and also party crippling) but instead go with Nier. It's been a while since I've played it, partly because of it's sad-y-ness, partly...

    5 "Mom Dies" Movies that Make Guys Cry

    Here's what I think about that: http://www.avclub.com/article/fake-deaths-cheap-resurrections-and-dealing-real-g-210402 It's a bit lengthy, and a heavy read, but it comes from a far more genuine place than any of these movies, and certainly more than this article did. I don't know. I...

    Poll: Favourite Metal Gear game?

    Okay! Solid Snake was a great game, especially compared to the one-note (literally) first game. I could never call it my favorite, especially because it came on the disc for Snake Eater, but all the added features--crawling, luring guards by punching walls, NPCs, elevators--and an actually...

    Male Form Appreciation

    Snow Villiers is...my god, he is certainly built like a beautiful horse. (Also, I've never google imaged him before and my goodness is there a lot of Snow porn.) Also, Metal Gear(rrrrrr!) has some very lovely dudes, if you're into older men.

    When Has a Game Made You Feel Absolutely Terrible? *POSSIBLE SPOILERS*

    Unfortunately, you can't miss the catch, as far as I know. Granted, even attempting to make her fall makes me feel awful, so I haven't tried many times, but I think the only input you have during the catch is how quickly you pull her up. Also, I get what you're saying about pulling on her arm...

    Escape to the Movies: Kingsman: The Secret Service - Can Lightning Strike Again?

    ....I'm going to assume that this is some sort of parodic statement or joke whose context I am missing, because otherwise that is the most irrelevant and apropos of nothing statement I've seen today. Anyway, glad you got to go out with some fun, Bob, although I'd assume that, had you known...

    Gaming Heartbreaks - What game did you love/want that never hit your country's shores?

    The what? *Looks it up* I'll be damned... OT: The first time I was exposed to the mercurial whims of localization was for a DS game called Blood of Bahamut. It looked interesting and cool and never was there the slightest hint of it arriving here. Another time was when I bought a used...

    The Big Picture: American Sniper Sucks (And It's Okay To Admit That)

    Oh damn it. See, I bought a car the other day, and I tried turning it on this morning, but it wouldn't start. I checked with my roommate--who is an English instructor--and he said that the battery had been removed. Now that sounded plausible to me, especially considering I definitely saw a gap...

    The REAL reason why RWBY failed(You're not gonna believe it)

    I think the OP is focusing too much on the trees to see the forest here. I mean, there's plenty wrong with RWBY to get angry about, but the ad-libbing deal is such a small part of a much bigger problem. RWBY is badly written. There's no denying that. But the fact that it's badly written seems...

    Video Game Character Crushes

    I'm pretty whitebread I guess. When I was a kid, this girl made me feel....things: After that, it was Yuna from FFX: And after that, I matured beyond such things and never again developed affection for fictional charLOL NOPE: BOY I WONDER IF I HAVE A TYPE. Those last few...
