    Why do you think so few people enjoy fighting games?

    I used to consider fighting games nothing more than a passing fancy. I played Super Smash Bros and some Soul Caliber here and there, and did not consider them to be an interesting genre. Fast forward to college, where my roommate and his friends are fighting game aficionados. I went from someone...

    Fox News Attacks Environmentally Conscious Games

    This brings to mind a certain penny-arcade strip. Oh Fox News, you're almost too easy to make fun of.

    New Wonder Drug Kills Almost Any Virus

    I don't think DRACO will adapt on its own. It's a protein therapy, so unless it decides to go prion (think Mad Cow Disease) there shouldn't be any danger of it attacking healthy cells (in theory anyway). The only real threat comes from the viruses themselves. The very nature of natural selection...

    Man Arrested For Trying to Split the Atom at Home

    Everyone knows that nuclear physics is a gateway mad science. If they didn't stop him, he'd eventually move on to cloning, super-serums, doomsday devices, and trying to kill Superman.

    What?s What in Captain America

    Saw it, loved it, can't wait for Avengers. And I knew the suit in the glass cylinder was important but I just couldn't place my finger on it. I think it was the only comic book reference I missed.

    Escape to the Movies: Green Lantern

    And so goes the good comic book movie streak. At least Marvel looks like it can sweep the summer with Captain America. I was hoping Green Lantern would be good, and I'm probably still going to see it just so I can form my own opinion, but most reviews agree with Bob's in that its a noisy mess...

    E3: Assassin's Creed: Revelations

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the game takes place in the 16th century. Just a small typo. Also, I'm really looking forward to this game. The Assassin's Creed series has only seen improvement since the first game, and I can't wait to see the end of Ezio's story. He's a character...

    Escape to the Movies: Super Mario Bros. (Rough Cut)

    The moment you mentioned "The Situation" I raised an eyebrow. I almost completely forgot what day it was. Of course, I can only imagine that sometime down the road someone will make a Super Mario Bros movie with this as it's premise. Just see what happened to Duke Nukem Forever.

    Stars and Stripes

    I haven't been this psyched to see a superhero movie since Iron Man 2. If Thor, Iron Man 3, and the next Incredible Hulk can keep up the energy of the previous movies then the Avengers movie will probably be the biggest undertaking in film since...oh hell, it'll be the biggest undertaking in...

    THQ Hammered by Sub-Par Homefront Scores

    I feel the same way. Gamers don't seem to view the rating system for games like a rating system and instead like some kind of grade. 73? That's a C-! Come on guys, it's a game, it's not applying to med school. But on another note, I do wish that the ratings would rail against the CoD sequels...

    The Big Picture: Combat Evolved?

    I think the original intent for the inclusion of multiple races was simply for enemy variety and little more. It's more fun to shoot at various enemies with different abilities and weaknesses than the same set of guys every single firefight. As the game's popularity exploded and Bungie got a...

    Yahtzee Wrote a Book

    Looks like something that's going onto my "must read" list before the summer ends.

    The Making of the Mystery Mortal Kombat Mini-Movie

    I liked the short a lot. I wasn't pleased at first with lack of the mysticism angle, but hey, I wouldn't stop him if he has a full feature length deal in mind. If someone asked me how to make Mortal Kombat seem "more realistic" I'd have no clue where to start. This guy seems on the ball and he's...
