    The Big Picture: Remembering the Real Jack Thompson

    I understand what you mean, but at the same time, I found it easier to open the channel of discussion back when people would only assume I was ugly as opposed to some sort of feminist conspirator or something just for being a girl. People have become so incensed lately I just want to hide from...

    The Big Picture: Remembering the Real Jack Thompson

    I was under the impression that he has been "dead" politically on the video games front since the industry adoption of a comprehensive universal self-governing ratings system in America. Why did someone bring him up again? Eh... don't answer that, I know why: too many people being too worried...

    Celebrate 10th Anniversary of San Andreas in GTA Online

    Oh my gosh... has it really been 10 years since this came out? Still one of my favorite games of all time. I revisit it often enough and wonder to myself "when and why did we move so far away from such well-crafted giddy fun?" I mean, the experiences still exist in games such as Goat...

    Jimquisition: Stupid Sexy Bayonetta

    Ahh I've been waiting for this discussion to come up... not about Bayonetta specifically, but in general. Well, the "it's okay to like something someone else doesn't and talk about it" thing has been gone over, but I'm talking specifically about female characters that are designed "sexy." Is it...

    Ubisoft engineer: "Console manufacturers" decide whitch parts of games to keep, pressure 30fps limit

    Okay, I get that Ubisoft likes to act bullied by the market and the environment and basically anything that makes a suggestion, but come on! It's not like Microsoft or Sony are going to look at your Assassins Creed Unity and say "nooooooope! Doesn't have only 30fps and it has too much content...

    What's a more powerful feeling in gaming: Feeling Powerless or Gaining that power back?

    Well, i think it depends on what you want from the experience at that moment. Like, sometimes you want to have a powerfully emotional experience where you feel legitimately scared either for yourself or even for a character you've come to love and would hate to see succumb to whatever hostile...

    What is so great about Assassins creed games?

    Well, I'll be honest and say I haven't played more than the first one. I really liked it though. I am kind of a history nerd and I love games with a bit of stealth where you can run around very fast in a free environment and all of the environments were impeccably made. The first time I went...
