    Check Out 12 Minutes of Narrated Dawn of War III Gameplay

    As a Company of Heroes fan, I really don't like the new cover system - if CoH2 could do cover and mass combat, this one really should be able to do so, too. At least they could have gone for building/ruins that function in much the same way, soaking ranged damage until destroyed, instead of...

    Frequent Overwatch Match-Quitters to Pay a Hefty Price

    The reasoning is that you leaving (for whatever reason) makes the game experience worse for the five others that are left behind, as well as anyone unfortunate enough to jump into your slot after the enemy team has enjoyed your absence. Your enjoyment must be weighed against the common enjoyment...

    Cancelling the Apocalypse - Pacific Rim 2 Is No More - Update

    Why does this keep happening? I'm still waiting for At the Mountains of Madness, for Azathoth's sake! I need to stop being a Del Toro fan, there is too much pain.

    The Ethics of "Project Harpoon"

    If you want to compare critical reading skills, bring it on. You did notice the image was cropped by intention to hide the fact that that article was originally from the Daily Mail, British tabloid infamous for straight-up fabricating stories, right? Example...

    The Ethics of "Project Harpoon"

    Why do so many people think disgust, blind hatred and condemnation will make other people healthier? No-one benefits from spreading self-hatred, it is entirely possible to make people love themselves and work to live a healthier lifestyle. In fact, it is a powerful motivator for actual...

    Why Are Goats' Eyes That Terrifying Shape?

    Why does these comments appear everytime they post articles in the Science & Tech section of this site, the one that is right up there to the top right of the front page, a section they have had for about three or four years now. They even had a regular Science & Tech podcast!

    Warhammer Age of Sigmar Starter Set Review - Borehammer, Gorehammer

    The problem that brought down the old Warhammer Fantasy was exactly what made it popular among its fans; a tactical, complex game where well-organized armies of a vast amount of models clashed. Thus you have a game that recruits extremely slowly - a huge cost of entry, not only in money, but in...

    White God - Rise of the Planet of the Dogs

    I think it could work for non- or casual dog people, but I agree, those are definitely happy dogs from the body language. It seems they might have tried to hide it with the camerawork, but it still showcases the fact that animals are usually not too good "actors."

    All Blackrock Mountain Hearthstone Cards Revealed

    While discussion of viable strategies are good and all, I only see the potential of Loreswalkers Cho Ganging Up. There is a potential for an all-Cho-board!

    Discworld Author Sir Terry Pratchett Has Died At 66

    Deyr fé, deyja frændr, deyr sjalfr it sama, en orðstírr deyr aldregi, hveim er sér góðan getr.

    Is The Dress Blue or White? Why The Internet Just Lost Its Mind

    Interestingly enough - two thirds (67%) of the readers on Norwegian broadcaster NRK's pages sees it as white and gold. So technically we should have enough of a majority to be able to constitutionally rule it white. Yay, democracy...

    Is The Dress Blue or White? Why The Internet Just Lost Its Mind

    After being out in the bright mountain light, reflected by the snow, I was entirely unable to see anything else than white/pale blue and gold. Now, in nighttime, the stronger blue has appeared. Although I cannot be certain this is not some elaborate hoax using two different pictures of the dress.

    Your Greatest Fear and a Flailing Penguin in Gotham

    The show reviews seems to have been removed from the schedule, most of the podcasts are gone, including my favourites Science & Technology and Film & TV, Jim left; for the first time in my time as a reader I honestly feel there is not really anything left for me here. I really liked the...

    Erin Vs The Herb

    That comment alone probably speeded my return along by several months. Keep up the good work, Wooster, and please do not give arbitrary triggers such as mine too much thought. (I now fully expect "Erin, the Spoon and the Needle" at some point in the future. Please do not disappoint me.)

    Erin Vs The Herb

    The location description was not meant as snark, just me thinking simply writing Norway would be a bit dull. On a continued note; anyone experiencing hallucinations from marijuana should seek medical help as it is not a hallucinogen, and thus it is something latent in your brain, not in your...
