    After what time, is it no longer socially acceptable for an adult to be seen in his pyjamas?

    If the pajamas consist of actual pants & a shirt: you can go as far as your mailbox & still be in the clear. Wear a bathrobe to be totally safe. If you wear your underpants and/or a T-Shirt to bed: don't go beyond the kitchen.

    Lost & Hidden Gems

    I've played Mar War Logs, Of Orcs & Men, and Bound by Flame. All from the publisher Spider. All three games are basically good, each with their own little quirks, issues, & strengths. They are among the more unique games I've ever played. I'm talking about them because I realized that all...

    Mass Effect's Commander Shepard "Originally a Woman"

    If it's just a "repurposed mocap" then why is it being presented as some sort of missing link? "Animation-short-cut" sounds more appropriate.

    Sweden Considering Sexism Labels For Video Games

    This could become video games' Oprah Book Club Sticker. But it will never, nor should ever, be made part of the ESRB.

    The Technology Help Corner.

    I've recently got into PC gaming and I've run into a issue with my gamepad (Xbox 360 wired PC controller). Whenever I plug it in all my other USB devices become unrecognizable. I have to restart my computer in order for everything to work again. It only happens with the devices that are...

    Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Review - The Ring of Truth

    navigation controls & combat are almost identical to Assassin's Creed but the unforgiving combat along with the setting and nemesis system makes the game wholly unique. It's very refreshing to play a LotR game that ISN'T set during the War of the Ring. Being a Tolkien nerd enhances the...

    Should Every Game Allow You to Choose Your Gender?

    This reminded me of his previous article about hating companies for the right reasons http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/video-games/columns/extra-punctuation/11859-If-You-Are-Going-to-Hate-on-a-Game-Company-Do-It-For-the-Right-R I love these little bubbles of sanity!

    Old Games you remember playing but can't remember the name of.

    The only memory I have is watching my dad play it on his computer in the late 90s. It was a side-scrolling game in which you controlled a yellow submarine (NOT The Yellow Submarine). Sometime a dolphin swam by with an oxygen tank strapped to it's back to refill your meter.

    Early Access Has Ruined Indie Development

    Yes it was basic but it was solid. It wasn't broken and what was there was finished.

    Early Access Has Ruined Indie Development

    Divinity & Don't Starve are the only ones that have been properly released. Insurgency & DayZ were pre-existing mods that a development team beefed up. The other three are still in "early access" & therefore don't disprove point 4. The public has moved on and doesn't care about Rust or...
