    Feeling sick after not eating for 14 days

    A lot of people have already mentioned why going without food is dangerous. So I just wanted to say the best way to lose weight in my experience is just removing portion sizes. You don't even have to exercise (though it helps of course), just eat smaller portions every meal. Of course that's...

    Zenimax is Being Sued Over the Use of "The Wanderer" in Fallout 4 Ads

    Why did it take so long to file this suit? It should have been filed as soon as the ads came out without his approval. This seems a bit sketchy to me. Additionally the idea that he approved the song to be on ads about a violent videogame as long as the ads were misleading and didn't showcase the...

    New Razer Lancehead Mouse Offers "Tournament Grade" Wireless Performance

    I've had a slew of razer products over the years (mice, keyboards, headsets) but repeated hardware failures have finally driven me away from the brand. The straw that broke the camel's back was my new Razer Naga Chroma Epic's battery dying. My old Naga Epic was still going strong, I gave it to a...

    Rumor: Bioware Austin is Prototyping a Knights of the Old Republic Game

    I'd definitely give a new Star Wars RPG set in the Old Republic era a try. I would be less interested in a remake of the original KotOR though. There's 300 years of history in between KotOR and The Old Republic MMO. You could set the game before KotOR. So there are a lot of possibilities...

    your game of the year so far

    Lol I will admit this year has been front loaded with a bunch of awesome games. Finding the time can be pretty hard.

    your game of the year so far

    I've always been of the opinion that choosing a GOTY this early in the year is premature to be honest. But considering that games coming out at this time of year are often forgotten by the end of the year I do see some merit in celebrating them now. On topic I'mma go with Horizon Zero Dawn. I...

    are you going to buy mass effect andromeda?

    I was planning to but after it became apparent that the game has a bunch of quality issues, namely poor animation and writing, no, I'm not. In fact I bought Horizon Zero Dawn instead. No regrets. First game I've bought in ages that I've really loved. Doesn't do anything new for a sandbox, but...

    Your Newest Game: what did you get and why?

    Tales of Berseria. I've never played a game in the series, from what I hear it was going downhill by the time the series came to my attention, but I liked the look of this one from the first time I saw it and I figured it might well be the last game in the series, and I wanted to try it, so fuck...

    What can be done to improve the JRPG?

    I don't think the genre needs improvement personally. Bravely Default and Bravely Second on the 3DS are some of the best JRPGs I've ever had the pleasure of playing for example, and Tales of Berseria, which I am about twenty hours into at the moment, has been really great so far. The fact...

    Australian Steam Games Are About to Get a Flat 10% Price Increase

    Well. Guess I'm never buying another PC game from anywhere other than G2A.

    Update - Daniel Craig Offered Insane Money to Return as James Bond

    If the guy hates playing James Bond that much he should say no. Another two films is a big commitment if they really make him so miserable.

    What's keeping the West from making DOAX style games?

    When I say the political landscape has shifted, I am referring to the fact that we've moved away from violence being the focus of controversy to sexual themes and imagery being the focus. I definitely agree the word censorship is being thrown around outside its definition nowadays, but that's...

    What's keeping the West from making DOAX style games?

    Funny. That was in 2010. The political landscape has shifted drastically since then as I'm sure you know, since you picked such an old game for an example. Plus pretending a game is more controversial than it is is wildly different from making a game that is ACTUALLY controversial.

    What's keeping the West from making DOAX style games?

    There's good controversy (anything not about sex or nudity or sexy nudity) and then bad controversy (anything regarding sex or nudity or sexy nudity). Basically suits in the west seem to piss their pants at the idea of failing to be perceived as puritanical and having soccer moms send angry...

    Pokemon Sun and Moon Allows You to "Hyper Train" Level 100 Pokemon

    Hope this is true. I remember before X and Y were out there was a rumour IVs would be temporarily set to 31 when you battled online, but that was false. I've bred about a half dozen Pokemon with 5 31 IVs, and it is just shit. The idea of Pokemon having different inherent capabilities between...
