    Disturbing Films

    Not sure if anyone else feels this way, but I thought Precious was a really rough movie to watch. Maybe not as violent or graphic as some, but it definitely had moments. And really, if you think about it... young, overweight teen girl who's pregnant for the second time because she's being...

    Piercings and body modification

    I have a number of piercings, though nothing I would consider too "out there." Five in my left ear, Seven in my right, though I just wear simple silver rings. Right nostril also has a small silver ring through it, and my eyebrow had a spiral through it, though one piercing grew shut during an...

    The Secret World Review

    First of all, get off your high horse. I have no issue with people deciding a game is not worth it to them, but what I have an issue with is them going, "It looks good... but it's too expensive, WHINE!" There's a pretty big difference. Second, did I even say I personally liked the game? No...

    The Secret World Review

    I cannot for the life of me comprehend this "I'll wait until the price drops" mentality. So people have absolutely no issue with dropping $60 on the sixty billionth Halo, or the newest Call of Duty, yet when a legitimately good game comes out they cry about paying full price? And people complain...

    The generations that grew up with gaming and getting older.

    This exactly. As much as gamers bemoan the repetitive and unoriginal sequels upon sequels upon sequels (or prequels), it's partially their fault as well. The folks throwing big money at games will only use their millions to back what they think will sell, and they're not willing to risk 60...

    Do As They Say, Not As I Do

    This was a really, really interesting article. As a gamer, game-designer-in-training, and, rather unexpectedly, now a mom... stuff like this really hits close to home. I've learned a lot of valuable things from games, and my own mom was fantastic about understanding, accepting, and even...

    So some woman are afraid of me because of my job....

    Yeah, I kinda gotta second this. I'll usually avoid workers because I don't want to get in their way. It's not that I'm afraid of them (my boyfriend does similar stuff and usually comes home pretty rough and dirty from work... I'll admit, I like it) I just don't want to be a bother. But now I...

    Seven-Year-Old Girl Murdered for Videogame Money

    This exactly. It's not that I'm not sympathetic to the mother of a kid who committed suicide, but she needs to realize that there was definitely something bigger going on beyond the video games. Instead of blaming an outlet, these kids need help with what's really going on inside their heads to...

    Poll: Is it morally wrong to eat cats and dogs?

    Food is food is food is food. The issue is, in my opinion, more along the lines of how it tastes. And, I suppose, how healthy it is. But meat is meat, really. The idea that you shouldn't eat something because it's adorable and fuzzy, versus something else because it's less so... that's just...

    This Talking Plush Portal Turret Doesn't Hate You

    My very first reaction to this was, "Wow. Where are they sold, and how much?" Then I realized they weren't. And was sad. I really want one.

    Lady Gaga blocks Weird Al parody...after considerable expense is spent recording it. (UPDATE)

    That's what I was thinking! You'd think it'd be an honor to have Weird Al parody one of your songs. I mean, really. He's been at it for how friggin' long? But geez. Reading his post kinda bummed me out. Going to all that bloody work, jumping through hoops, just to have her say no. Dang.

    Sony Delays Both Last Guardian and Ico/SotC Collection

    This and this. I'm not big on the whole console thing, usually more than happy with my PC, but Last Guardian made me consider getting a PS3 and the announcement of the re-releases pretty much solidified it. Sigh. And the wait continues.

    Recap: Episode One

    It was interesting. I'd read the books and had been looking forward to the show for awhile now. My sister, on the other hand, hadn't read any of the books and knew nothing about the series or the world or anything. We watched the premiere of the show together, and while I ended up explaining a...

    You are now in the last video you saw.

    Just got back from Limitless. Drugs are bad kids. ...Or are they?

    Poll: Your Favourite Greek God?

    I'm surprised nobody mentioned this sooner: Athena wasn't the one who gave man the horse, that would be Poseidon. Just, y'know, sayin'.
