    Jim & Yahtzee's Rhymedown Spectacular: The Storyteller's Curse

    LOVE the Bartleby cameo! More puppy footage! <3 I enjoyed both poems. Punching Rocks reminds me of my MMO experiences and running around collecting endless resources to build X fancy weapon. I've had to limit myself to games with an actual ending after years of that!

    Poll: Back Log: How do you determine what to play?

    I feel your pain! I do the same things as you, plus sometimes I'll play too many games at once and thus abandon a game I just started and never come back to it. I'm still hoping that one day I'll play some of these games I bought months ago, but it's probably wishful thinking. OT: I play...

    $2.50 Reviews: G.I. Jane (1997)

    As a woman and war movie lover G.I. Jane was a huge inspiration for me when it was released on shiny, black VHS. I love the Rocky moment you have captured in the pull-up screenshot when Demi decides to step up her game (and get ripped). I think you characterized the feel of the movie well. For...

    Games Are Just Fun

    I sank SOOO many hours into Oblivion and Skyrim on the XBOX 360 it was ridiculous. I have to agree with you that Oblivion... no Skyrim... no, well, both of them were the most fun I've ever had in a game. I plan on buying Skyrim for PC whenever it's majorly on sale again on Steam so I can finally...

    Don't Starve: Console Edition Review - PlayStarvation

    This is one of those games that I obsessively play for a couple weeks and then come back a month later and obsessively play again! The more you progress in this game the more you appreciate and enjoy it (even if you get sick of it) because you're constantly learning something new -- you come...

    Tomb Raider's Pratchett Calls 2013 A Good Year for Female Characters

    I am a woman and a feminist (I believe in gender equality) but I don't go around spouting that every game I play with naked boobs in it or short shorts is an outrage to society and women. We know that men are objectified as well. However, I think it's good that people are getting stirred up...

    What's the difference between a core gamer and a casual gamer?

    Agreed. We're all part of the same community. We're gamers. As proven by the responses, "hardcore" is subjective and can mean whatever you want it to mean based on your experiences.

    What are you playing right now?

    It's a lot of fun reading what everybody is playing right now; it's good for the soul. :) I'm also happy to see that a lot of other people play lots of games at the same time! I'm currently playing: * Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (PC) * The Witcher (PC) * Rogue Legacy (PC) * Prison...

    Gaming series/Genres you fell out of love with.

    MMORPGs. I started back in the day with my first two MMOs -- Guild Wars and The Matrix Online. From there I played WoW, then Star Wars The Old Republic, then The Secret World, and most recently Guild Wars 2. I enjoyed all of them for a limited time, but after realizing that I stopped having...

    The Greediest Jerks in Gaming

    He's not monetarily greedy, but he's greedy in regards to his selfish need for control in seeing the story composed by the gamer (or Stanley) go his way. He manipulates you, berates you, frightens you, and bates you in order to control the game. I'm talking about the one and only narrator from...

    Marter to the Movies: Lone Survivor

    I definitely noticed how the gashes on Mark Wahlberg's face seemed to be focused on in the previews that I've seen for this film. If it isn't going to be your average shoot-em-up unrealistic action flick, I agree that some sort of complex emotion and character development besides "bad ass" need...

    Star Wars: Episode VII May Cast Breaking Bad Actor

    I really wanted Todd to have some kind of moral enlightenment in the last season of BB and throw Jesse a bone, but alas, that did not happen (but all the better for it). The fact that this guy can act, period, is a plus for modern day Star Wars. That alone probably warrants him a leading role. :)
