    Mass Effect 3's Ending Was Intended To Polarize

    Yeah, I was only using divisive in an expletive deleted sort of way. The endings are terrible and taint an otherwise great game. For example I just started up a new playthrough to try out the other classes & choices. Was going OK until the 1st dream sequence and that bloody kid shows up. Where...

    Mass Effect 3's Ending Was Intended To Polarize

    Can't blame him for defending it - after all he's still trying to get people to buy the game and DLC. Just wait a year and he'll admit it was derped somehow in the production process. Also cognitive dissonance can mess up the best of us. Of course the only DLC I'd buy is one that fixed the...

    Noby Noby Boy Stretches to Uranus

    At its current rate of 2.45 billion km/day, it should reach alpha centauri in 17.6 million days. It remains to be seen if anyone is still playing in 51st century.

    The New Shiny Escapist

    I like the new top bar, but the list of consoles isn't doing anything for me with so little and unfocused content behind it. Ok my list'o'grievances: I really miss the list of videos on the bottom right. To have to go digging around menus for the LRR or Unskippable video on a freaking...

    Feed Dump: Frosty Cardboard Marmite

    Can't believe I'm the first to ask. What is the Clearly A Cardboard Cutout Of Vin Diesel's opinion of erotic Star Trek fan fiction?

    U.K. Politician Keith Vaz Hates Modern Warfare 3

    Amusingly Rock Paper Shotgun's article http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/11/23/ban-call-of-duty-3-cries-keith-vaz/ notes that he's getting angry at "Call of Duty 3". I thought that one was WW2, but I'm obviously less informed than this troll who's wasting my tax money.

    The Big Picture: Words for Nerds

    Thanks Bob, this really strikes a chord. The cliquish nature of humanity doesn't go away when we're on the internet or all like games. All nerds have done is made their own clubhouse.

    No Right Answer: Puppets vs CGI

    This reminds me of the Extra Credits episode "Graphics vs Aesthetics" in that the puppets which hold up the best are stylised (Muppets) and the ones that don't are more naturalistic (Labyrinth). Same goes for CGI, but filmakers overshoot their tech and aim at naturalism before it's ready. Pixar...

    Feed Dump: Sinkhole Pronounced Dead

    I have that hat! Fortunately I'm not a source for news, for LRR and for everyone else.

    Khan May Actually Be In Star Trek 2

    Remember the tagline from the first reboot movie "This is not your father's Star Trek". However that film was packed with in-jokes and references, they just forgot to make it a good movie. There are no depths these hacks will not sink to, so I suspect Khan will be in there and be an emo *****.

    Ubisoft Says Always-On DRM, "A Success"

    My paranoid theory: They're getting their piracy numbers from THE SAME FREAKING PEOPLE who sold them the DRM. Some executive needs a slap upside the head if they think they got more sales because of this crap.

    Minecraft Middle-Earth Will Melt Your Mind

    That map is the most amazing thing! It takes ages at maximum zoom out just to get out of the shire. You can trace it all the way to where they're building Lothlorien - Calas Galadhon is already done. The channel for Anduin is also pretty spectacular

    Trailers: Earth Defense Force: Babes

    I am in disbelief that this was actually made and posted. Starship Troopers (movie) has EXACTLY this but as a spoof! If there had been overwrought narration and a lame joke about a bug hunt from the Aliens marine clone, this would have been an OK trailer. What a waste of effort from that...
