    Let's point out silly double standards!

    Maybe I'm wrong but don't most Bible-centric religions follow only the new testament these days? The old one has all sorts of lovely (insane) messages in it, which leaves the people scrutinizing its every word and shouting that across the rooftops as truth open to arguments of people saying, "If...

    Let's point out silly double standards!

    I always find this really strange. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to take every single word literally. Nowhere does it state that you should pick apart each and every sentence and paragraph and tear it apart looking for every possible message you could get out of it, and to then follow...

    Super Meat Boy Creator Hates Freemium Games

    I personally love the idea of freemium and the potential it has, but he's right to say that most of the time it's done poorly. If I had it my way, I would release all my iOS/Android games as completely free, start to finish. You would be able to download the game and play through every level...

    Games Not Worth Playing

    You hated DMC? Why? The only reason you gave is that 4 made you backtrack through the whole game. Perfectly valid as that is, it's hardly a reason to hate the WHOLE series. Only one game did it. Though it still wasn't as bad as the complete, boring, terrible mess that was 2. If you never...

    Poll: Jim sterling VS Extra credits

    I like how the people slamming EC and praising Jim are almost exclusively complete assholes about it. I think for myself. I like both EC and Jim. I think Jim is a bit too direct and rant-y and opinionated and doesn't so much present the opposing arguments as barrel right over them without...

    Zero Punctuation: Kid Icarus: Uprising

    Are the controls REALLY so bad, though? I played the entirety of Metroid Prime: Hunters and both Zelda games on DS without a stupid stand and my hands could go hours without a break. Both had the same "terrible" control scheme generally requiring you to hold the system with your left hand, press...

    The Half-Naked Elf Problem

    What's the point of giving gem slot numbers to armor though? If you can increase the capacity of low level armor sets of a particular type using points gained by leveling, there's no point in higher level armor having more gem slots. The progression to more slots and better gems should be there...

    Actions in Games That Made You Physically Uncomfortable.

    God damn it, I've had so many games spoiled for me already in the first page.. Guys, learn to mention the NAME OF THE GAME before spoiling it! I was clearly interested in seeing what other people were heartbroken about in games but nobody cared to mention WHAT they were spoiling before...

    The Half-Naked Elf Problem

    This may require further explanation. The way I read it, it looked like you were suggesting that armor would have no stats, but have X number of slots with a set of restrictions on what enhancements (gems?) can be placed in them. Gems would be dropped by monsters, as well as new armor, which...

    The Half-Naked Elf Problem

    What would be the point of that system, though? You'd still be collecting new armor sets that are more powerful as ones from before. Just now, you'd have another layer of menus to go through and a few more minutes added to the process of improving armor. Weapons and armor exist as they do now...

    lollipop Chainsaw is a terrible idea.

    Why is it always this idea of "X game is the hammer in the coffin for games as art"? Every time something like LC comes along, it's met with this exact argument over and over. How can games be art when many games really aren't striving for that goal? Seriously, I don't honestly think I...

    I think I know why gamers get no respect

    Honestly, that's any fandom for you. There are elitist snobs. There are creepy dudes. There are the absolute jerks, trolls and jackasses. And there are the literally insane ones. This is nothing new to any fandom, especially one so open to different people from all different walks of life...

    Criticise your favourite game

    Daigasso! Band Bros. DX. The online. The flipping online... It's not really BAD, because there are tens of thousands of user-made songs to download for free and you can get a hundred. That's not bad, right? Only, if you get it on an R4 card, you can download as many as you want off...

    Companies that are pissing you off

    Mostly Capcom. I have heard NOTHING about localizations of anything Monster Hunter-related. While Japan has been rolling in the fun, here in America we get nothing. I and all my friends really want to buy Monster Hunter 3G and play together and that would be so much fun to do.... but we can't...
