I've wasted much of my life on FPS's and I think I'd totally be God-King of the Paintball Wastes....if they hadn't given me such crappy guns that time I did go paintballing. Everyone else had fully automatic weapons, mine was basically pull-bolt action due to its mechanisms being so old - and...

Even without its own flaws, Andromeda was in the highly unfortunate position of having to not only carry on from a much beloved original trilogy, but deal with the aftermath of said trilogy's, shall we say, contentious ending. In a way, it was pretty much a case of damned if you do, damned if...

My initial response was "Sweet Jesus, that sounds fucking boring". Then somebody in the comments mentioned out how much they enjoyed the Orlesian ball section in Dragon Age: Inquisition, which was definitely one of the game's highest points for me, so a game that involved intrigue...

Jesus, what a pointlessly, utterly, utterly fucking stupid way to die.... I sincerely hope that we as a species haven't reached the point where people will need to learn from the deaths of others, in order to not create videos entitled: "AMAAZINK!!! WATCH ME SHOOT MY LITTLE BROTHER WITH...

Hmmm, I'm torn. On the one hand, I want to say "Nope" because anyone looking at a tenth of the comments on some popular gaming thang going back to 2000 will have been saying "Oh Jesus Christ, we as a collective are fucked", and not only have we as gamers somehow managed not to boost the world's...

Hmmmm! Interesting: see, I was already aware of the real source of inspiration for Tavington, *and* that he was one of the more ruthless British officers during the war, so I wouldn't have minded the odd butchery here and there (nor am I naive enough to believe that criminal behaviour doesn't...

I used the term "proto-Nazis" as a moral barometer, whereby media villains who are emphatically not connected to the Third Reich in any way go on to behave as pointlessly evil as them anyway, just to jackhammer the point into the audience's faces about who to root for. For example, see SS...

They're bloody everywhere! For the past two weeks, at least on my end, I was actually tempted to make a thread to ***** about it, but I figured they'd just disappear after a while....

It definitely speaks to a certain level of disconnect from, dare I say reality, if this thing was intended as a little staff in-joke that made its way into the show proper. Not to suggest the people involved are stark-raving loony of course, but rather that even a cheekily worded yet relatively...

I have one very important question that will determine whether or not I will give this film a chance. Are the German soldiers portrayed as a competent and legitimate threat, or as cackling yet utterly ineffectual proto-Nazis who are going to use radioactive moon-rock super-weapons to blow up...

"PPG Writer self-inserts himself as a love interest for one of the girls." Heh, that's a little cringe-worthy! I wonder what PPG is.... "Powerpuff Girls." ....Okey-fucking-dokey! Alas, for the sake of creepy chuckles it appears that EternallyBored has disproven this, or at the very...

Much like The Simpsons, Family Guy and The Escapist Cracked, I kept on paying attention to the movies out of a sense of brand loyalty, despite the increasingly massive dips in quality. And man, could that dip have been nipped in the bud if they had gone with George Romero! At the very least...

Now don't quote me on this - he said, quoting a quote - but I *think* the satellite destruction was at the end of Extinction, or whichever one had the Alice cloning facility in the desert. If I recall correctly, the Umbrella Council of Evil is spying on the invincible supersoldier wrecking their...
