    Dungeons & Dragons Next Reveals Mass Combat System Details

    I don't recall Willpower ever being its own stat/attribute in D&D. Then again I haven't been following the newest edition much, did they have Willpower as its own stat at some point during development?

    Dark Souls II Was "Unplayable" Before Graphics Downgrade

    I'm actually kind of ok with a graphical downgrade if it means the whole game isn't going be another blighttown situation. And honestly Dark Souls wasn't anything to really write home about graphically speaking but it still looked pretty damn great, and I'm sure Dark Souls II still looks pretty...

    This Coffee Maker Has DRM to Lock Out Competitor's Refills - Update

    So what's to stop people from just using the original Keurig machines then? If that's the only substantial thing that the "Keurig 2.0" offers than I see no point in upgrading honestly, especially if the competitor's refills are in fact cheaper.

    World of Warcraft Passes 100 Million Players, Mostly Alliance

    I'm pretty easy to please, I just want to experience all the content I missed out on since I stopped playing in like late 2008 early 2009 I think. A bit after WotLK came out. I was still leveling in Outland at the time. Didn't even start playing wow until like 2007.

    World of Warcraft Passes 100 Million Players, Mostly Alliance

    Yay Alliance! I ended up getting back into WoW after playing some Hearthstone. I hit the level cap for the free version and it's still as fun as I remember it being. I'll probably end up buying the upgrade to unlock the rest of the game since it's like 20 bucks and I could probably hit 85 by the...

    Pachter: Why Would Anyone Buy A Wii U?

    A Nintendo only console? Well yeah isn't that why most people buy the console for? For the games that only ever come out on Nintendo systems. Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon, Mario, Metroid, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Smash Bros, Pikmin, Pokemon, etc. I mean yeah I've played great third party games on...

    Metro: Last Light Dev Explains Locked FOV

    Well at least they gave a... decent reason for not having an FOV slider and are kind enough to provide one if you have to change your FOV. They could have said fuck all about it and left people to bleed their eyes out. Kudos for that.

    Mythic Co-Founder Says Free-to-Play "Apocalypse" Coming

    Well I guess it's a good thing some of the MMOs that took to the F2P/Pay-if-want-to model early have already carved out their own little niches. Games like Lord of the Rings Online and Dungeons and Dragons Online are still pretty active and seem to have a pretty decent userbase respectively...

    Tomb Raider writer expressed an interest in making Lara gay?

    Is it bad that while playing the game I felt there was some kind of barely there romantic feeling between Laura and Sam that was maybe a leftover of an earlier incarnation of the story? I mean maybe they had this big idea of Lara and Sam being in a relationship early in development and it...

    Tomb Raider Writer Halved Lara's Kills For Narrative's Sake Update: No, She Didn't

    I just realized that was not what I meant. I mean that this story was how she evolved into a Tomb Raiding badass. Not the original Lara no, that would be silly.

    Tomb Raider Writer Halved Lara's Kills For Narrative's Sake Update: No, She Didn't

    Crystal Dynamics did make something new and interesting. They managed to breathe life back into a franchise that, let's be honest now, hasn't exactly been relevant in the game industry for a while now. Oh sure there were Tomb Raider games but the series had kind fallen out of the spotlight by...

    Dad Alters Donkey Kong for His Daughter - With Pauline as the Hero

    So did he make those climbing and jumping animations for Pauline himself? Or were they always in the code somewhere?

    Where would you hide a dead body?

    The place you hide things where you never want them to be found. In your butt.

    Lord British Presents Shroud of the Avatar

    Very interesting, and kind of a shame.

    Lord British Presents Shroud of the Avatar

    Did you forget about Ultima Online? That game was pretty successful in it's time. I mean yeah Tabula Rasa wasn't great but I don't think he was the only factor in that game's demise. Granted I never followed the game that deeply so if he was the reason that game sank, let me know. The man has...
