I just hope that Bioware doesn't get carried away with the sentiment of expanding gay characters in video games. If not handled properly, they could easily be doing what the 90s did with gay stereotypes. In some ways I think gay characters are still based off that design, or rather flamboyant &...

I sincerely hope the rumors are true for the direction the new DOOM game is going. I haven't felt excited for a game in years. But otherwise I'm still waiting on some legitimate gameplay footage before I fully immerse myself in the hype.

Oh god this is hilarious. I hope more site owners do this.

Speedrunners are so awesome. Speedruns are awesome. Speedruns can range in no-glitch runs, only this glitch runs, assisted-runs, 100 completion in fastest time, a combination of all of the above, etc. But speedrunners have the same thing in mind, they love the game and they love it so much that...

Finally someone in another industry has taken the words out of every aware gamer's mouth and says what needs to be said, again. It's like no one knows the problems video games face until they try to partake in the creation of one.

It sucks having to explain this to people whenever Internet speeds come up. People are way too in disbelief that this isn't the best that Internet can get right now but meanwhile other countries easily enjoy 250 megabits for just as low if not cheaper than standard rates in the US.

Skipping all of the debate or theories as to why Pokemon main game series stays nearly the same from game to game and generation to generation, I feel that the franchise in general doesn't do nearly enough and yet still pulls in loadsa money. Thus business-wise, gamefreak and nintendo doesn't...

It's because the media has sensationalized the "outrageous" aspect of when someone does something offensive. People are now so fixated on finding something that may offend someone or themselves for the sake of purely pointing it out when in nearly all cases, it's a pure accident and the...

I have that problem with many genres and games. You've found the peak and realize there's nowhere to go but down. The scariest part is the idea of the peak no longer being interesting and then you're faced with nowhere to fall back on. It's not necessarily something wrong with the other games...

I agree with several of the things you said about humor and comedy. Similar to what you said, I liken a sense of humor to the ability to enjoy all that life offers. To further that, one of the greatest aspects of comedy is its ability to approach subjects/topics and otherwise taboo in general...

That's what I'm afraid might start happening now. There's so many victories for seemingly insignificant things that people completely overlook and don't see what's truly at stake. With the way commercial law - and copyright law - is in the US, it's just getting harder and harder for the...

This is exactly how the situation is. If you remove all the sensationalizing, this is exactly what PC gaming enthusiasts feel about the console-PC relationship. As for OP, as many have said already, it's the people on both sides that have a hard time explaining how it feels without going...

Probably one of the most worst articles I've seen by non-gaming publications dealing with supposed controversial topics in gaming. Lots of people outside the gaming industry - and even some working in it - seem to view the game industry as a person with a sign on their back that says, "Kick...

This goes back to correlation does not imply causality, in research terms and phrases. What's a huge problem here is that this research data is used in general terms which is why it only applies to video games when it's used loosely, like so many other problems with games today - people use a...

You shouldn't feel bad. There's plenty of other artists to list that specialize in the "sexy" aspect of character-costume design, and you can bet that they've had to deal with this. There's many people nowadays who unfortunately fail to respect the opinions of others - in this case - the...
