"That's just stupid." Said my dad. In my voice. Through my mouth. Oh crap.

I'd be cautious about laying out much detail of the characters' future. Their lives to date have been so over detailed that nothing could possibly satisfy the fans. Indeed, any kind of 'meta' ending that explains it all is likely to get a lukewarm reception. I would imagine they'd go for...

Well that's an interesting point: who said it would be a premium priced OS? Every other consumer OS is basically free now. The price of Windows has come down a lot over the years. I imagine they expect people to be less excited about buying Windows 10 off the shelf than has been the case in the...

How can you criticize this game? Why, according to the adverts it had won over 180 awards before it had even been released! Not even Usain Bolt can win a race he has yet to run. Lance Armstrong, maybe...

game noun 1. a form of competitive activity or sport played according to rules. 2. an activity that one engages in for amusement. "a computer game" See also: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/game http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/game If, as you say...

The bulk of video game development these days is in level design and other asset creation. That is where games like Gone Home come from. They are pure level design without some arbitrary game mechanic getting in the way. Some people don't like that but really, is all that gameplay we get in...

Who'd write a GTA review, eh? I've seen people getting mardy over 9/10 scores, never mind this. The whole series has problems and reviewers should not feel pressured away from assessing them. GTA started as a cartoonish parody of crime films. Over time Rockstar have tried to bring serious...

Just as a general rule, I think it's best to give the benefit of the doubt on a subject to someone who's been more successful in that area than I have. I'm sure this woman knows what she's talking about. She clearly wants games to tell better stories and I imagine that if there were a practical...

Opposite an article referencing Idiocracy was (for me) an advert declaring "Twix: join the debate!"

It looks really good but otherwise great games with crappy storylines really rub me up the wrong way. Is it like Skyrim, where they harp on about how urgent it all is but then you can go off camping for a fortnight in the middle of it and when you get back, everything's the same? That really...

But Space Hulk was AWESOME!!!!

You know, Yahtzee, some people will call you a contrarian but that's because they're right. You hated Doom 3 when it was being hyped through the roof but now it turns out that everyone agrees with you, you decide to like it. I played Doom 3 and I clearly remember it boring me into a brief coma...

I just read about this. See http://www.huffingtonpost.com/larry-young-phd/breasts_b_1910401.html Basically it's about bonding. Men instinctively exploit the same stimuli that cause a mother to bond with her baby. So it's entirely natural to go nuts for boobs. captcha: fair and square...

Look at the old women in Skyrim. Their boobs are as big and firm and pert as those of the young ladies. Boobs don't work like that either. The difference is that The Elder Scrolls series wants to be taken seriously, whereas DOA has always been a boob physics tech demo. It's a similar story with...

I have not shortage of comedy in my life. There's about a million hours of stand up on YouTube already. Watching amateur stand up is noble but painful work. You'd have to pay me to do it. Sill, I suppose it's good to see Sony trying something different.
