I don't think anyone really "hates" Nickelback actually. Are they a good band? Hell no, they're bland as can be and all their songs sound eerily similar, and most are about stupid crap. But to inspire actual hatred, a band has to generate what can only be classified as "ear poison". There...

Answer: I do not (want to see a guy boning a woman). I don't even want to see lesbians (or failing that, women being paid to pretend to be lesbians) using reasonably accurate facsimiles of a phallus on each other. Essentially I have a very strict "no phallus allowed" policy to my porn...

I don't think anyone actually cares whether or not Yahtzee enjoys or totally loathes Warhammer 40,000, what rankles is he seems to dismiss it based on silly reasons. Which is his prerogative of course, but as someone with a bully pulpit his opinion is being used to reinforce or even entirely...

That's probably because Mass Effect is only set a few centuries in the future from now, humanity in that setting is basically just humanity now, but with some better gadgets. I wouldn't call it a utopia either, but it's still a hopeful setting populated by individuals with a relatively modern...

You... really don't get how technology works in 40K. The height of human technological advancement occurred thousands of years prior to the setting's "current day", and is now referred to as "The Dark Age of Technology". The keepers of technology venerate machines as facets of the Omnissiah...

The respective settings of D&D and Warhammer 40K actually have a lot more in common than you might think. For that matter there's an underlying factor that many, probably the majority really, of RPG settings have that unites them: They are generally set after an apocalypse. No really, think...

Unless you've created a piece consisting entirely of feedback squeals, explosions, random electronic beeping, and distorted screaming all played at once with no semblance of a pattern, the odds are you haven't created something I'm going to describe as "meaningless noise" and "not music". Even...

Just one more reason to add to the very long list of reasons I don't buy games at Gamestop - not that they seem to want my business anyways, what with how I'm a PC gamer. Shopping for PC games at Gamestop is a colossal waste of time in almost 100% of all circumstances, whereas if I want a...

My brother was in the beta for that game, what I saw of it while he was playing looked fairly amusing. I should give it a try myself, assuming I can drag myself away from Age of Conan (seriously, they hooked me big time with their F2P move there, so bravo FunCom).

The Item shop will happily sell you all sorts of social skins that don't do anything other than look cool, but it does also sell the first tier of PvP gear and a selection of weapons and armor for various power levels. The regular "rare" items they sell are about on par for what you'd be...

I would have responded honestly to the poll but that last response was too darn funny to pass up, and I'm white as the driven snow myself, ha ha. But to seriously answer the question: It's the Ultimate universe, I think that whole thing is one big heap of non-canon bullshit, so I don't tend...

You two are throwing my pessimistic expectations entirely out of whack you know, ha ha. Glad you enjoyed it!

It has a bloody laugh track. That's really all the reason I need to hate a television show - with stuff like Seinfeld I was somehow able to overlook that aspect, but from what I've seen of this particular show it wasn't nearly funny enough to overcome that stupid laugh track. In retrospect it...

Still have a couple of reviews that need added from before... ... and a new one, also in the Music category: <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.304372>Taal - Skymind - Gildan Bladeborn - Gildan's Guide to Good Music - August 2, 2011

Read the article before posting - it's something the founder of EA said, he's not actually with Electronic Arts anymore though (heading up a mobile gaming company called Digital Chocolate, it's all there in the article).
