    5 Reasons Why John Carpenter Horror Classic The Thing Makes Guys Cry

    Cool article, but I do have to play the Fact Nazi: Rob Bottin was actually the man in charge of the creature effects on "The Thing." Stan Winston was involved, but his only contribution was the Dog-Thing at the beginning of the film. He declined screen credit because he felt it was Bottin's...

    How Massive is Wolfenstein: The New Order?

    I was under the impression that most of the 40GB that make up The New Order was padding deliberately added by Bethesda to annoy pirates.

    EA Sports UFC First to Feature Female Fighters

    They haven't removed female wrestlers completely, but they have taken out the option to have intergender matches. The closest you can get now is a "mixed tag team" match--each team has a guy and a girl, only same-gendered opponents can be in the ring at one time, and a team is instantly DQ'd if...

    X-Files Creator Wants A Third X-Files Movie With Simon Pegg

    I'd actually be cool with a third movie as long as it ignored "I Want To Believe." I still don't understand what made the story of that movie an X-File.

    EA Plans Free-To-Play For Every Major Franchise

    I don't want either one of these. What does that make me?

    Convince me SFIV is worth buying.

    Agreed. If you're playing it on the 360, you'll need the money you save to buy a different controller. I spent half an hour scraping away at the rim around the D-pad on my wireless controller, and I still went through hell trying to do anything more advanced than quarter circles. I suppose...

    What Cheat Codes Do You Still Remember?

    For what it's worth, there's also: idspispopd: walk through walls in Doom 1 idfa: all weapons, full armor and ammo (but no keys) idchoppers: gives you the chainsaw I also seem to remember "therecanbeonlyone" as an instant win code in one of the Warcraft games (maybe II). For some...

    Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines

    Not really. When I goofed around as a Nosferatu, I seem to remember there being a compass-type thing in the top right corner of the screen that points out people who can see you, but I think I was able to stave off any Masquerade violations just by staying away from those people. As long as...

    Half Life coming out in 2009

    It was the ZP review of Phantom Hourglass. Yahtzee came up with the HL: Citrus Bazooka example to drive home his point about how Nintendo constantly rehashes its old franchises. Still, I have to admit that this mod looks great.

    Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines

    What can I say? I was taught at a young age about spending smarter rather than bigger. Judging by the economic climate these days, I'd say it was good practice.

    Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines

    I paid USD8.00 for my used copy. :P Still, it's worth every penny, no matter how many.

    Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines

    I completely agree. There are indeed two different community patches, although the former is technically more of a mod since it mainly adds content. Personally, I'd recommend the latter if you want to see the game more or less as Troika intended. One of the patch's co-creators has also...

    1st Review, SmackDown! vs. RAW 2009 on the PS3

    Since I didn't see a "post your introduction here" thread anywhere, I thought this would be as good a place as any to dive into the pool. I'll try not to be too obnoxious. I've been playing this game quite a bit, and despite all of the bile I'm about to spew, I'm enjoying it. The controls...
