    Stop giving away the whole movie in a trailer.

    I don't usually complain.... But, Ender's Game. What. The. Hell.. The first couple lines is the big reveal near the end of the novel

    UPDATE: New Pokemon forms.

    This, all of this. Pokemon Black and White had it's themes (opposing philosophies) match up with this title. X & Y is doing it mechanically as well. They're taking the game in a good direction I think. While Mewtwo, Lucario and Blaziken are already godly in their tiers, I'm glad Ampharos...

    The best Survival Horror Game out there.

    Silent Hill 2 for best all-around. SIlent Hill 4 for hands-down scariest

    White People! Are you offended being called a "Cracka"?

    The thing is, the current use of the term "cracker" came from the sound of a whip used by white slavemasters and their workers. It's not even meant as derogatory. Yes, I know words can gain new meaning over time, but I highly doubt we'll see the day anytime soon when "cracker" and "******" carry...

    Rape vs Violence: A Double Standard

    Until a game can do a sex scene without messing it up, then we can talk about rape. Hell, most movies can't get sex scenes right for that matter. I read A Song of Ice and Fire novels. Rape is ALWAYS implied and never shown. The reason being, no one wants to sit through a rape session. Human...

    Game of Thrones - I give up

    How could you not expect the show to turn out differently without significantly altering the material? And as far as happy endings go, there are still some Starks in need of our support. Would you really give up on them?

    Game of Thrones Episode 9...

    They pulled it off brilliantly. I was cringing in my chair since the beginning of the episode, reading it is one thing, watching it another, but I've been DREADING this scene since the start of season 3. All I can say is... The North Remembers

    Poll: XBone Pricing and Release Date!

    Non-gamers aren't going to buy something they ASSUME will be a game console. Microsoft alienated gamers. So what's their target audience?

    So a black actor is considering role of Johnny Storm and nerdrage has turned racist again.

    On the same token, this is only one character in a fictional world. This has no bearing on reality, so what if Batman, Superman or Spiderman get casted as black or asian or whatever. As long as it tells a good story about being a hero, what does it matter? Now if you casted Martin Luther...

    Why Do People Like Batman So Much?

    Watched his parents die then travelled the globe for YEARS, training to fight crime. People like to see dedication, focus, and determination. They like to see that a human being can achieve these things

    The Racism Card

    Except, well... Back in slave times, when a rich white slave owner denied fathering mulatto children....

    Your go-to game?

    Final fantasy VII, Tactics, or VIII or a speed run of Starcraft and Starcraft: Brood war. Also Star Wars Knights of the Old republic 2, or any of the Legacy of Kain series

    Spreading the Word on Depression: Depression Quest

    You like every other person who doesn't get it, are speaking as though external factors are the only things that trigger depression and that internal factors get rid of it. This is NOT the case. Depression is something you simply cannot control, you can steer it, you can manage it, but you...

    Spreading the Word on Depression: Depression Quest

    You're whole argument failed when you equated depression with being a loser. Plenty of well-off, famous, successful people suffer from a swath of mental disorders, including depression. People of the arts in particular. It just so happens that art provides a productive outlet for their illness...
