    No More Bastion Please - How Overwatch's "Play of The Game" Works

    It seems to me that it should be fairly easy to weight the numbers so a deployed Bastion has a lower chance of getting the PotG. Come to think of it It should not be that hard to make some less damage reliant changes to make a play into PotG. A suggestion: Make defensive plays a thing by...

    Witcher 3 Dev: Don't Buy From Green Man Gaming

    OK I have seen a few statements here that really miss the pall. let's go through them: 1) CDPR can deactivate the GMG codes. For this to happen they have to know where they got the keys from. They don't. It is also highly unlikely that they will if GMG are telling the truth, when they...

    Star Wars: This Is How You Defend The Ridiculous Crossguard Lightsaber

    From a purely Lore perspective there is also the whole "building your own lightsaber" and having it "reflect the nature of the wielder". For most Jedi the differences are slight. They value and instruct restraint and balance. Thus most of their lightsabers follow a traditional and functional...

    Handsome Jack Will be Playable in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel - Update

    I have come to the conclusion that the season pass is a rip-off. In Borderlands 2 the season pass got your 4 full sized stories with multiple areas and new epic bosses for each one. Especially Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep was in a class of its own representing a definite high water mark...

    Zero Punctuation: WATCH_DOGS

    Hmmm I don't know if anyone ever tried this game but the "direct another character through cameras" is pretty much this game: http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-112/the-experiment-112 Is is more of a puzzle game with swathes of unprompted investigation required. It is the concept that is...

    Diablo III vs Path of Excel

    These are good times to be a fan of ARPGs. We have PoE to give that hardcore flavour. Extremely deep customisation that especially in the beginning forces you to go with what you got and make the best of it. A passive tree that really lets you decide what you want to do mixed with deep and...

    Teen Kills Own Grandmother After Scolding - Update

    Lets take a step back here. The kid said he blacked out. When he comes to he realises that he is actually cleaning up the crime scene. He then goes to another family member to seek aid in what to do. After surveying the scene, they go to the authorities. Judging by this I wager that the...

    Shadow of Mordor Accused of Actually Using Assassin's Creed Assets

    I am going to go out on a limb here and say that you are going to find a lot of games with code pieces in them that are exactly the same. Coding is a game of logic and creating a piece of code that makes a gun fire or triggers a specific animation or starts a timer or triggers a move or pretty...

    Telltale and Gearbox Teaming Up for Episodic Borderlands

    Hopefully this will go well. I would really like to see more IP being passed around a bit. I would love to have Telltale get their hands on Mass Effect. "C-Sec Stories: Life in the Wards" could be spawn a good number of stories I think.

    Sony America Boss Says Gaming Is Like Wine - The Good Stuff Costs More

    The man is saying if you have a burning interest in something you are willing to sink time and money into it. You are willing to go the extra mile and spend the extra cash for a richer experience. In these cases the richer experience will often be lost on people that don't have the same...

    Escapist News Now: Why Destiny Isn't Coming to the PC

    *sniff sniff* hmm it smells like. The texture looks like it is in the right area. It definitely looks like it. I ain't tasting that thing but I think I have enough evidence. This is BS. There are enough options to get a game like this put on PC. Chief among them seem to source out the porting...

    Spongebob Not Good Enough For Ohio Cemetery

    I am with the cemetery here. This is what is called a fuck up and it happens. There are no one at fault (with the possible exception of the employee that accepted the design in the first place) and it is a bad situation that needs resolving. The cemetery has done what it can by offering to...

    Reasonable Comics For Reasonable People

    Had to look up straw man. Thanks for that.

    I Wrote That Crap (For America!)

    The first two were good, up until the last paragraph. The Sleeper could really be good I think... though it would never be blockbuster. American Warlock could be so much fun, IF it does not take itself too serious.

    Obvious mudslinging counter argument: Stop buying used games.
