    Gameplay pet peeves.

    I can't stand games where every single level, or even the overarching plot, has a time limit. I like to take my time in games, especially the games I enjoy. I don't want to be penalized for taking an interest in every nook and cranny. When the game gives me a deadline, it starts to feel like...

    Star Wars: Battlefront - Great Teaser, Now What?

    All I want from the new Battlefront are three things: Offline single-player, offline Co-Op, and a galactic conquest mode. If it has these three things, then it should be great. But if Dice cuts out even one of these features, it just won't be Battlefront anymore. Hopefully they don't screw it...

    Anti-gun control people, where would you draw the line?

    I think the current gun laws in the US are pretty good as they are right now. You are currently NOT allowed to legally own an automatic rifle or handgun in the US. In case you don't know, that means that any gun that you can simply hold down the trigger and spray fire is already illegal in...

    Which Mecha Are You?

    Where's the Mechwarrior option? Why do we get an option for the crappy battle armor from Avatar that nobody remembers but no Timberwolf option!? THIS IS NOT A MECH QUIZ!!! HURGABLURGABLURG...... I got mechazilla...

    Would you kill the Joker?

    Honestly, I don't really know. On the one hand, I'm not a violent person. It's actually something I've grown to like about myself, the fact that I'd rather turn the other cheek and try to empathise with someone rather than immidiately start to attack them back. However, the Joker is a...

    Poll: What Class Are You? Warrior, Mage, or Rogue?

    I like playing as a versatile character, so probably more like a ranger type class. I like to be slightly sneaky, so that I can get into position with my bow, but also have enough health to win in a straight up fight if need be. Basically I either make my character able to dodge easily or...

    The worst book/story your ever read.

    Bright Shiny Morning by James Frey, for me. I am not exaggerating when I say that a bunch of 6th graders could write better than that. The characters were poorly written with little to no context. The story would randomly focus on some random passerby who had literally nothing to...

    Injustice: Gods Among Us

    I enjoyed the demo, myself. It did feel pretty barebones, but I just wanted to try the combat out a bit, and while it's not my favorite, I can definitely enjoy it. I'm kind of on a superhero kick right now, and I've always loved DC more than Marvel, so I'd get it for the ability to play as...

    Misleading Genre Titles (MMO, Free To Play)

    So I'm getting a little fed up with some of the misleading genres that developers have been slapping on games nowadays. Most notabably, "Free to Play" and "MMO". Now, I understand that this is my opinion, and others might have a different opinion, but over the (many) years that I've been...

    Forget the Friend Zone, it's OK to be attracted to a friend

    The "Friend Zone" is a lot more complicated than people make it out to be, because, well, people are complex, and romance is doubly so. (Yeah, that sounded a little douchey to me too, but let's keep going.) Actually, this whole idea of the friend zone, created by "Nice Guys" is really stupid. If...

    Ever Watched A TV Episode That Pissed You Off So Much You Quit Watching The Series?

    That show called Scandal. It starts off with an episode about a gay war hero, where the moral of the story is basically that all Republicans and/or military are homophobic assholes. Being a generally open-minded republican who has parents in the military, I was extremely pissed. But...

    Does Half Life 2 Hold up?

    No offense, but I have to disagree with pretty much everything except for the setting. I think the first-person storytelling is absolutely terrible. Sure, the settings are interesting and show how run-down everything is, and you can see a bit of alien tech mixed in with human tech, but that's...

    Video game villains that made you angry

    I usually get pissed off only at stupid villains, or games that make have wierd sense. So, Reaver from Fable 3! You see him brutally murder some poor innocent guy right in front of you. You ascend to the throne, to become king. And you allow him to become a GODDAMNED LAWYER...

    Dead Space 3 Resource Exploit "Not a Glitch", Says EA

    This, so much this. You know, we used to not have to pay money for more map packs. They used to be patches or software that would come with the game. Now, a measly two maps can cost up to 1/4th of the amount of the ENTIRE GAME! I don't think we should boycott EA because of one game's...

    Halo 4 is an abomination

    Oooohh, yeah, the Broadsword Trench Run was great! It REALLY makes me want a new Rogue Squadron game though. Like, I would kill for a new Rogue Squadron right now... In my opinion, Halo 4 was a pretty solid game. Sure, it had some issues. Most notably for me; the bland-looking Prometheans...
