    Hatred Rated Adults Only by the ESRB

    Call of Duty has you bomb poor, under-equipped and half-starved, insurgents who are fighting against an invading army, from an untouchable position in the sky like the holy hand of God. It also acts like this is a totally noble thing to do. In terms of context Hatred is much better than...

    By all accounts he was a very dumb fellow.

    Forced to change Gamertagp...

    Its not a dick joke, its a reference to a friend of a friend who honestly believed that there was a bone inside your dick that made you hard. He was a good guy though, it makes me chuckle every time I think about it. Not that you'd know any of that. Plus the alternating hard and soft...

    Forced to change Gamertagp...

    I still don't understand the aversion to references to male genetalia in text, while playing Cod Blops 2 when worse is being screamed by five year olds at full volume. All the while doing nothing but horrific violence to avatars shaped like human beings. Not to mention the insanely disgusting...

    Forced to change Gamertagp...

    Absolutely, but they've got everyone who owns an xbox and wants to play online by the short and curlies, don't they? I've made my peace with it. I just don't want to do it again and I don't want a stupid name.

    Forced to change Gamertagp...

    Yeah, I heard about that too. Those days are gone now though. I can get it through the restrictions and it isn't taken. The problem is if people will report it. I didn't think anyone ever actually did that so that shows how good I am at predicting what people will do. We're playing a game where...

    Forced to change Gamertagp...

    So Microsoft decided to force me to change my Gamertag, without telling me they would do so. So now I have to pay 10 bucks to change it from Big Joey (numbers numbers numbers). I'm not here to complain about that, the name was pretty bad. What I want to Know is if my new name DonSexo, is...

    Feminists, we need to talk about fedoras

    I dunno man, I wouldn't worry about it. I feel the whole fedora thing is just a symbol of a much larger (and greasier) archetype with a whole lot of identifying factors beyond the fedora. The hat itself is merely an easily recognizable shorthand, but in the absence of the other aspects of the...

    Game for me and my bro

    Here's the story, My little brother and I started playing Minecraft on a LAN over the holidays but since I've gone back to college we can't do that anymore. I know that to play Minecraft's multiplayer I need to set up a server but I don't know much about that process or if its feasible for...

    Steam Sale!

    I want to buy a game (or several) during the autumn Steam sale but I don't know what to get. Mostly I'm looking to get something with a good, engaging story. I'm playing on a newish macbook pro so it obviously has to be Mac compatible and not too graphically intensive. I'm mostly thinking...

    Jim Sterling Leaves Destructoid (UPDATE: Jim Joins The Escapist!)

    I just wanted to add my my voice to the chorus saying that Jim was the best part of Destructoid. Seriously, it was my favorite, go-to site for reviews but mainly because of the ones written by Jim. I would start reading an article, and if it was crap, I would scroll back up to the top and it...
