I dunno, a lot of missed opportunities. Clearly the ability to sit and watch a blue-skinned alien woman gyrate on a table was pretty perverted... MASS EFFECT SERIES. Metroid? I could literally code in a way to make the poor female protagonist suffer her journey in a swimsuit rather than...

To the first two sentences I say this was exactly how I felt from the start about the 3DS. The rest is kind of similar to how I feel even now; it's a limited gimmick for a niche. It hasn't been well utilized outside of adding an unnecessary or mostly irrelevant dressing to games, the 3D itself...

It's kind of tough to do that when Jim has taken to holding Anita Sarkeesian up as a voice or reason while calling her naysayers crybabies, unless there's some Kaufman level trolling going on that has totally outwitted a lot of us. Being overly PC kind of falls in line with this mode of...

I see this a lot, but in all honesty the epilogue struck me more as a gag than the actual ending. Like Gainax just felt like messing around with the characters for kicks. The epilogue was so totally out of sync with everything else that it just seems detached. That's all of course my own view...

I completely disagree with this list, though I get how they can inspire feelings that make dudes baw. Some of these are just not that moving, even if we love Wash, and who didn't, it was more shocking than anything and at that point a lot was happening, too much to get broken up about it. I Am...

How deliciously dickish sounding. Reminds me of the old "Genesis does what Ninten-don't" adverts that played all the time when I was a kid. Brand hatred aside, I actually like where this is going, and I loathe Steam and Origin equally. Competition that fosters better services at a reduced fee...

Going to show my age a bit, but Battle of the Planets, Voltron, and a few I have very obscure memories about got me into it. Couldn't find any of them on video tape except what someone had recorded and passed around at school. They were so distinctly different and mature compared to the cartoons...

Windows 8: so terrible it's been banned from a country where people resell used condoms as hair ties.

Pandemonium for PlayStation, I recall paying about $6 or $8 for it. Thought it would be a neat way to waste a few dollars since I was bored. Those bonus stages made my toes curl, and a friend of mine swore she was going to barf the first time she'd seen one. Fun game, totally worth the scratch.

I agree, they were terrible, but your counterpoint seems to contradict a great deal of articles, interviews, etc. This one for example: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.244758-Han-Should-Have-Died-in-Return-of-the-Jedi-Says-Harrison-Ford

Because of capitalism's reign on "creativity" and the inundation of origin stories, which is the new reboot, which is the new remake, and so on have smothered creativity, I can totally believe they're attempt an eventual "do-over" with the prequels. They can deny it till their blue in the face...

I have wanted them to send a probe inside Jupiter for ages. I wonder if it will happen in my lifetime.

I remember when Firefox was new and unpopular and it took years to attain even a small percentage of the market alongside IE and Netscape. At around 2.4 it was really getting it's groove, and he period thereafter, though fraught with missteps saw Firefox become the leader in web browsing and a...

God I'm sick of reboots and origin stories. I wish people would just try to come up with something new and exciting, and sponsors and studios weren't so afraid of taking chances. Not everything needs to be a top earner, or even profit when they're sitting on a surplus and living in excess. Art...

Jargon and spin won't undo the bridges they'd burned a generation ago. The Xbox 360 was a piece of shit with a high failure rate, and for all it's limitations they decided to cobble together a profit machine wherein they could really lean on micro-transactions, digital "ownership" and unwanted...
