    CaptoGlove Channels The Powerglove Into The Modern Gaming Era

    Oh, I love the CaptoGlove. It's so bad. Someone had to do it.

    Escapist News Now: Smash Bros. Justifies New Character Choices

    I would argue that Wii Fit Trainer is iconic. Just because she hasn't been around as long doesn't make her any less of a Nintendo icon, it just makes her a new one. If you were to ask the average person (please note, not "average gamer") about the Wii, the Wii Fit series is likely to be...

    People Being Rude To Customer Service

    Wait wait wait wait. Maybe my reading comprehension isn't what it used to be, but here is my understanding of what you're saying: 1. You bought a Samsung phone from a store 2. You took it in, so they sent it to Samsung IT for repairs 3. Samsung IT didn't fix it 4. You're going to go...

    Best religious character

    Thane from Mass Effect. His spirituality isn't examined as in-depth as some of those mentioned above, but his discussion of the separation of body and spirit was engaging.

    Magic: The Gathering deck help

    Well, lucky for you, if you focus some of your card purchasing on the current Innistrad block, vampires are a fairly powerful black/red aggro tribal right now. Alternately, if you wait the the 29th/30th, you can go to a prerelease for Return to Ravnica (the next set, and set 1 in a new block)...

    "Good" Characters who are actually kinda assholes.

    Renegade Shepard, of course. Seriously, he mostly just punches people and gets kinda racist.

    What do nerdy people do?

    Try going to you FLGS (Friendly Local Game Store). Usually you'll find some pretty cool people there, and while most of them may be primarily interested in CCGs, Tabletop RPGs, and Skirmish Games, but usually there is significant gaming crossover. Just try to go on a Magic: The Gathering or...

    What's the best school related book you have read

    I thought I was the only one who read that in high school! I got to take sci-fi as my junior year English course, and the teacher and I realized that I had read all of the books on the syllabus already, so he lent me his personal copy of Childhood's End. Great stuff.

    The best piece of advice you can give to people.

    Best piece of advice? Don't go to Religion and Politics. They debate bestiality over there... Seriously though, my advice would be to not take life so seriously. I don't mean that you should blow off work or get caught up in that stupid YOLO crap, but be able to make of light of terrible...

    In regards to this second TWEWY countdown...

    To be fair, judging by the equipment system, I'm not sure if Neku knew if he was a boy or a girl. If I remember correctly, the first time I beat the final boss I was wearing heels, a cocktail dress and a purse, just cause it had the best stats. So there is that. In all seriousness, I loved...

    Pop Quiz!

    Well, the +3/+3 trigger occurs the moment that the creature becomes targeted by doom blade, which happens before you respond. You respond by making the creature hexproof, which causes the doom blade to fizzle because its target is no longer a legal target. The targeting has already occurred, but...

    Say something nice about EA if you can

    I will say that I like how Origin, for all its flaws, separates DLC from the games in the store and links to a specific list of DLC from the library. They published Mass Effect. They're suing zynga, which makes me happy.

    Oreos!

    Sit down before you read this, for this could be the saddest thing you have read all day. I used to love oreos. Shit, even proposed to em back in the summer of '09. Sadly, it was that very same summer that I was diagnosed with a terrifying, steadily more common disease. Celiac Sprue...

    Poll: Is it possible to play a guitar in public...

    While not a guitar, there was this guy on my campus who played banjo. Banjo players are, in my opinion, douchier than guitar players. But this guy...he only ever played while riding his bike between class. Somehow, that just made it...okay. I guess if you make it impressive or unique enough...
