    Can you really consider someone in a powersuit badass?

    I'm with the Bad-ass is more than just what you can defeat, a lot of it depends on attitude. I also don't think power armor disqualifies from qualifying as a bad-ass. They have to have some skill-set or ability that gives them an edge. For Batman it's martial arts training, technology, and his...

    Warcraft Romance Ends With Felony Charges

    The part that always got me with the Leeroy Jenkins video was meeting people who thought it was a real raid and not a staged video made for laughs. The conversation usually went something like this. "Have you seen that Leeroy Jenkins video? It's hilarious!" "Yeah, it was funny the first...

    Unskippable: Mini Ninjas

    Mini Ninjas kind of swindles you with their opening cut scene. All the trailers for the game were these crisp, amazing-looking cut scenes, than the opening scene is that. However, as you play through the game, you unlock a nice cut scene for each ninja. 'There is something terrible going...

    How Do You Keep From Being Flamed?

    I fall somewhere in the "What counts as a flame?" and "I don't really care." Always enjoyed a good debate, sometimes the best way to learn something or look at something is someone else pointing out an opinion you never would have thought of on your own. However, the key to any debate, or...

    Stolen Pixels #224: An Incredible Value

    The reason Xbox can 'get away' with it, is they are still the best console multi-player option around. Shamus is right, the reason the Wii has been so successful has been the price and the gigantic age group that will play it. However, Nintendo will never rise beyond that success, is the...

    Rebecca Mayes Muses: Fable 2

    I almost always enjoy your songs, but the videos I usually struggle with. I can't ever decide if it's trying to tell a story, or just show some images from the game, but it never seems to quite mesh with the music. I think you should just show the game in one solid block with you singing, and...

    by tomorrow, mostly all of you will be breaking the law.

    There is just one thing I need to know.. Are they going to be monitoring our activities with Skynet?

    Zero Punctuation: Transformers: War for Cybertron

    Well, I'm pretty sure everything I watched as a child was just planting subliminal messages to later purchase one of their products. Transformers trailed a distant third behind my allowance expenditures on GIJOE and TMNT. There is some nostalgia if you did watch the old series and the cartoon...

    Don't Use the Word "Gamer"

    Well, if by the "One Rule" you mean the universal rule that everyone knows, I thought it was "Don't try this at home." or "Don't talk to strangers, unless they have candy." I think at the end of the day, it's all about making something your own, so people can't use it against you. In high...

    Don't Use the Word "Gamer"

    Yeah, sorry, I'm a gamer, and for me, part of being a gamer was embracing My One Rule? 'I really don't care what anyone else thinks of me or what I do.' Growing up in a small town with backassward ideas of technology, music (yeah, like from Footloose, Rock and Roll is the devil's work), or...

    Do good female gamers actually exsist?

    I believe they exist, just that they are catching up in numbers. I do think the 'I know a girl gamer who beats guys at ' has become rather cliche' (sp?) at this point. I want a 'She loves the Splinter Cell series and goes nuts for the Prince of Persia games.' just to add some variety. I also...

    Most powerful video game character EVER

    Pretty much too broad of a question to answer, but here's my best shot. First, anything that has its roots primarily outside of video games I think should be disqualified, that kicks out any comic book, movie, or television show characters. I'm also defining "Most powerful" as, able to overcome...
