    First Deus Ex: Mankind Divided DLC Features the Return of Frank Pritchard

    It took me a few tries, but saving Malik wasn't that bad non lethal- there's sorta an optimal path you can run on the right, using the stun gun (or candy bars and takedowns I guess) for the most part. I think there's a robot you have to EMP, too, so I guess not having a grenade or the typhoon...

    You all miss the Escapist's glory days, what are your ideas for how could they come back?

    Well, remember when http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/video-games/editorials/17097-Free-Speech-Politically-Correct-Safe-Space-Trigger happened and also http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/video-games/editorials/17074-Pundits-Are-Not-Journalists-and-Notch-is-Not-a-Villain...

    Looking for positive/hopeful anime series

    Upbeat with sad parts? Sure, in the same way Madoka was.

    So The Ghostbusters Embargo was lifted and oh dear

    I get the feeling that a lot of people are gonna end up seeing this movie, actually kinda digging it, and then having to pretend they hated it to save face. Sounds like it's *fine*, which is, well. Fine. People should save their anger for shit like Pixels.

    Games Where The 'Antagonist/Villian' Wins (Or Was Right)?

    Basically every old game was technically like this. The enemy firing missiles at you in missile command always wins. The ghosts always end up punking pac-man, and you cannot hunt every duck. Other than that, yeah, I can't think of a whole lot.

    Blizzard Removes "Avoid this Player" Option from Overwatch

    I wish it'd stay as it was in unranked mode, considering that ranked is just around the corner. Gonna be honest, yeah, I'd definitely hit avoid on "one of the best widowmaker players in the world", that sounds like the least fun you can have in unranked. I wonder if he was literally good...

    If you had to live in any fictional universe, which?

    You just gotta look at the worlds where the special parts of it would be accessible to normal people. Pokemon is a no brainer for me- there's Pokemon you can catch by just throwing a ball at them, and you can work your way up from there. I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to find a pokeball-...

    Overwatch's Microtransactions Detailed And Priced

    Like, I understand why they make you buy random boxes, but it's still annoying that most boxes I buy will give me shit for characters I don't use No problem with a cosmetic store at all- especially since there's nothing you can buy you won't eventually get anyway

    Poll: Should stories be praised for being progressive?

    I really like that if a character's plot in any way revolves around the fact that they're gay, or trans, or black, or anything other than the "default", that's bad and pandering, because you should make interesting characters that don't only exist to be progressive!!! But. If a character...

    Nintendo continue to protect your eyes from disgusting female form.

    Maybe someone decided that the game had too much anime titties, and tried to scale it back so the game was less pandering trash? Else they just have a "total number of anime titties allowed" quota, before the rating goes up. Either way, not a big deal, especially since as you say there's...

    James Bond cannot be genderbent

    Sure he can- imagine, a James Bond who isn't an awful misogynist? Alternatively, a female James Bond who is just as awful to women, and makes the supposedly suave and charming man we all know seem all the more ridiculous- kinda like how modding Ocelot's model into Quiet's poses looks fucking...

    "MissingNo" Remains in 3DS Release of Pokemon Red/Blue

    Oh. I guess this means focus energy is still completely useless, huh? Really, those games are held together with spit and twigs, it wouldn't hurt to fix the odd bug, considering the fact that they're using the game to sell 3DS units in bundles.

    Patent Troll Stirred a Hornet's Nest When It Sued Newegg

    "Now that they have started the litigation, it would be irresponsible for Newegg to not finish it" So cool...! I'd watch an anime that was just corporate legal battles and cool one liners.

    Valkyria Chronicles Remastered Confirmed for North American Release

    I really hope all this (apparent?) interest in VC either gets me a localized VC3 or a VC4, because the fixes VC2 made to the formula make it really fucking hard for me to go back to the first game. Fun though it is to two-hit tanks from the front with small arms. On the other hand, it might...

    Captain Marvel Will Become "Earth's First Line of Defense" in New Comic

    "I want to say that I'm bothered by the focus on a female lead, but people will call me out on it. Just letting you all know."
