    The Critical Miss Guide to GPUS

    As somebody who works for a small company that just bought a Titan X to do CUDA-accelerated machine learning, the Titan X is pretty damn far from disappointing.

    Good RTS Games For A Beginner

    The Starcraft 2 campaigns actually do a pretty good job of easing you into things, and are pretty fun, with nice varied mission design. They also have much more usable UIs and controls than the SC1 campaigns.

    Indie Game Recommendations !

    Never Alone, a puzzle platformer based in Native Alaskan folklore and mythology and produced in coordination with a Inupiaq community. Beautiful art style as well.

    Poll: The Dragon Age: Inquisition thread

    The multiplayer I didn't find nearly as engaging as the ME3 MP, but I haven't put a massive amount of time in it. Move speeds are a lot slower, controls feel clunky even compared to the singleplayer.

    Poll: Do you own a bath(tub) and do you use it?

    I have a bathtub, but because I live in drought-stricken California, no baths for me. Not even daily showers. I actually use "you can take a shower after" as motivation to exercise, and on days I don't exercise I pretty much just do a washcloth wipedown

    Poll: Zero Punctuation: Striking the balance between information and entertainment

    I watch mostly for entertainment, but it's good to have reviewers out there that dislike pretty much everything. Because it means that when they like something, it's probably pretty dang special.

    Jimquisition: Stupid Sexy Bayonetta

    I totally agree. The point I was trying to make (which I guess I didn't get across very well), was that when trying to honestly critique something at the same time that the thing (or the thing's creator) is coming under attack, it may be necessary to include a disclaimer of sorts in your...

    Jimquisition: Stupid Sexy Bayonetta

    That first bit was really disappointing, Jim. I can very easily say something like "I don't condone harassment or threats towards developers, but I do think that even in a time when a developer may be under intense harassment, their work is still open to criticism. With that said, Depression...

    Zero Punctuation: Destiny - Always-On Grind

    There already is a proper MMOFPS. It's called Planetside 2, and it's wonderful.

    Dragon Age Inquisition Will Have Co-Op Multiplayer *UPDATE*

    As someone who really enjoyed ME3's multiplayer, I'm totally willing to see how this actually plays out. I get that there's a lot of hate for them going around, but they haven't made a game yet that I haven't enjoyed. Maybe that means my tastes are not as refined or whatever, but I'm looking...

    Arkham Origins worth $9?

    It's currently on sale at the Humble Store, and I kinda want to play some more Batman, but it's also been pretty widely panned, so I figure I'd solicit input as to whether or not it's worth a significantly reduced price

    It's Commander Shepard's Birthday! (In 140 Years)

    I thought that Mass Effect 3 was the best game of the series. There, I said it. The gameplay was the best, far and away. The cover-to-cover system was good, there was more variety in guns than in 2, and they all felt really different to use, compared to 1. The first 85% or so of the...

    Escape to the Movies: The Raid 2 - Brutally Intense, Action-Filled, And Very Good

    And a scene where Tony Jaa fights using some broken bones.
