    Paper Mario: Sticker Star Review

    Something that I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned is that (in my experience) most the bosses that you're supposed to use a "Thing" on can be beaten without one through exceptional sticker choice and perseverance. Lots of these encounters seem to have a wide variety of solutions and I'm...

    Paper Mario: Sticker Star Review

    It's funny, because they actually went all out with the paper motif in a way they definitely did not in previous games. I think everybody has their own expectations of a franchise....I'm not thrilled with the lack of partners in the game, but it still feels like Paper Mario to me without...

    Can Graphics get much better?

    How about we take all the money that would be used for improving graphics (as well as some of the current expense) and move it to something that actually matters? How about instead of making people and things look real, we make them try to sound and act real? All these games that are...

    Underage Sexual Assault Victim Faces Jail Time...For Tweeting the Names of Her Attackers (UPDATED)

    I share a lot of people's opinion; That she shouldn't have done it, but shouldn't necessarily go to jail for it. I'm fine with here being fined. (no pun intended) It's actually rather strange how she thought exposing the names of her offenders (who had already basically exposed...

    State Department Proposes "Trolling" Web-Based Islamic Extremists

    There are too many people commenting that clearly didn't read the article and just assumed this meant "let's antagonize the terrorists."

    Michael Pachter Predicts Wii U Failure

    A bit redundant no? Surely hardcore Nintendo fans or Nintendo fanboys would suffice, but hardcore Nintendo fanboys?.....good lord.

    Cigarettes should be illegal.

    The title of this thread should be "Cannabis should be legal." I think we can all agree with that part. Yea I know right? Our hospitals would practically need to be cut in half! But seriously, it's fairly objective to say that cannabis has a far wider range of industrial uses than...

    Gay Oreo Inspires Internet Outrage

    When will certain people stop pretending that they're religious and just admit that they're misogynist, racist, homophobic, and all-around hateful? And I'm surprised by the amount of comments that seem upset that the pictured cookie isn't going on sale....the double stuffs are already too...

    Poll: Is treating women in Gentlemanly way Sexist?

    Lol. You win the award for the latest reply I've ever encountered....A title that I had held firmly until now. Funny that you should go on to criticize someone for necroing the thread. It's funny, because when I saw that I had been quoted, my heart sank a bit, and I braced myself for a...

    Games you hate that everybody else likes

    I feel like now would be a good time to post that "laugh harder" clip from Futurama. I'm very curious as to how far into Braid you got. I think it's a fair assumption that it wasn't very far, given that you haven't clarified the matter already.....and seem completely ignorant on the game...

    Sex-ified Game characters.... problem you have?

    For the last time, I understand the difference between a power fantasy and a sexual fantasy and I could do without the incredible condescending nature of your posts. You're still not qualifying anything that you're saying and you're still taking your personal opinions as incontrovertible facts...

    Games you hate that everybody else likes

    This....doesn't sound like a comment that anybody who knows anything about video games would make. I assumed that YOU were kidding....I assumed that you pulled that Mario comparison out of your ass, but now I see that you're much more attached to it than I previously thought, and I'm even more...

    Sex-ified Game characters.... problem you have?

    You are REALLY misunderstanding my arguments and making them out to be something they're not. You're also continuing to make arbitrary distinctions and presenting them as facts. I'm not disagreeing with you on much here. My main point is that women find power attractive much more than...

    Sex-ified Game characters.... problem you have?

    I didn't say that you support them. I just said that you don't consider them to be "sexualised," and it seems like you just confirmed that. Also, I'd like to clarify that I agree that female characters are more sexualised than male characters in pretty much everything. What I'm disagreeing...

    Games you hate that everybody else likes

    I know that people shouldn't take any crap for coming out with games that they hate on a thread with this title, but I really can't stand the comparison of Braid and Mario. If your gonna hate the game, at least do it reasonably. The two games have absolutely NOTHING to do with each other...
