    Kaz Hirai Becomes Sony CEO, Asks "Holy Sh*t, Now What?"

    I don't think it's possible to agree with you more. Well said. I'm surprised Sony hasn't gone further into medical before now. Their price point has always been higher and many private practices will pay good money to have a flashy name on their equipment. Couple that with people who are more...

    Lollipop Chainsaw Aims to Provide A "Fun, Happy" Zombie Experience

    "I wanted to give birth to a video game heroine who supersedes past female video game characters, so here Juliet makes her debut!" enthused Suda51. I laughed about this statement for about five minutes. White, skinny, no pants wearing cheerleader? You push the boundaries TOO far, sir! Put...

    Destinkify While You Play With the "Amusement Washing Machine"

    I like the idea. Turn arcades into laundromats and have large leaderboards. You could organize laundry days by games everyone plays. Tuesday is Halo Day, Friday is MarioKart etc. Whoever performs best in the game gets free washing time or something along those lines. I'd love to see it...

    Escapist Podcast: PAX Panel: What Women Really Want From Female Characters

    I have to admit, I expected to nod in agreement with this podcast much more than I did. I'm familiar with the work of the women on it and I have massive respect for all of you. I suppose I expected a more feminist approach to the subject since the topic was what women want. Even with me...

    Overweight Cosplayers (aka "Cosplay Turnoffs")

    I'm not a sizeist so as long as the outfit is right, the attitude is right- I dont' give a flying flip about the size of the cosplayer. I don't care about gender either- because it's not about the person it's about the character and most character traits can go across gender lines. It's about...

    What do you call this?

    "I sent him a text"; "I texted him" or "I've been texting him all day" are all widely in use.

    How is 2011 can we have these toys for girls?

    Pretend play is a huge part of any well cared for child's learning experience. It's patently pathetic that we still, as a society, limit our children's learning/enrichment because of their sex. Give boys baby dolls and vacuums, let little girls have a tonka truck- the world will not end.

    LoadingReadyRun: Imagine If You Will

    That was hilarious. Really great job on this ep- from acting to editing. So I crocheted a Cthulhu reading buddy, does that mean I went slowly insane row by row or only became insane after I sewed his little eyeballs on. Wait- does that make me the Cthulhu master? Ok- so a girl moves to a...

    Poll: "Show a little sympathy; all death is tragic !"

    It's called common decency. Every death is tragic to someone and it's about respecting that other people exist and have feelings. It's also about not being 'that guy'. I don't think I'll ever understand this whole 'too cool for emotions and courtesy' bs that the internet likes to propagate.

    your last game purchase? was it worth it?

    Warhammer 40K Kill Team- oh yeah it's worth it. Nothing like a game with Great Boom.

    Why isn't casual gaming respected?

    Because people love to find a reason to feel superior to other people. It's just that simple. Give two people a stick and a third person a rock- the same thing will happen.

    Mystery Case Files: The Malgrave Incident Review

    Oddly enough the zoom box on MCF Prime Suspects on the DS didn't bother me as much as the inability to click multiple items. It's only, at most, half a second of waiting time but add that up over the entirety of the game and I was ready to rip out my hair by the end of it.

    Sherlock Holmes 2: More Moriarty And Cross-Dressing

    I squeed so hard I have to go hang some drywall to regain some dignity. When a woman needs to hang drywall to make up for a squee- it was a mighty squee indeed. Surely there's a limerick in there somewhere...hmmm

    Mystery Case Files: The Malgrave Incident Review

    I wonder if the MCF crew will ever release another game as huge as Ravenhurst or Return to Ravenhurst. Those two are HOGs that I routinely send people to learn about atmosphere so thick you could lose your momma in it. I'm surprised that they missed the twitchy controls during QC with the...

    EA Buys Peggle Creator PopCap Games

    That was hilarious and well worth the build-up. ***** On topic- can't say that I blame EA for buying PopCap, nor PopCap for sealing the deal. Money is a big motivator. I do wish our financial view of the future didn't revolve around microtransactions, but it's working for now so more power...
