    Jimquisition: Review Scores Are Not Evil

    This video is all well and good in a magical world where things like MetaCritic doesn't exist or doesn't have any real world value, but since MetaCritic DOES exist, you putting a review of anything lower than a 9 is essentially you casting your vote of "I want this game to fail commercially"...

    Introduce Yourself to The Elder Scrolls Online

    In Elder Scrolls games, even the most advanced researcher of Dwemari artifacts are still just trying to get the stuff they made to work, not trying to improve upon it. Until the leaders in magical research get a firm grip on how to recreate all of the Dwemer relics, they aren't going to be able...

    Introduce Yourself to The Elder Scrolls Online

    It kinda makes sense if the people who make the technology/armor aren't around anymore. Y'know, kinda like the Dwemer.

    New Elder Scrolls Online Screens Emerge

    Based on the various articles circulating the blogosphere from folks who have actually played a early version of the game, cries of this being "Just a WoW Clone" seem very similar to all of the cries that "Half Life is just another DOOM clone".

    New Elder Scrolls Online Screens Emerge

    Good trolling. 10/10. For those who didn't catch the joke, the idea that Dwemer technology needing to look "older" doesn't make sense within the lore, because the Dwemer had died out prior to the start of TES:O. That being said, it wouldn't make any sense for Dwemer technology to look...

    Zero Punctuation: Star Wars: The Old Republic

    You actually get the DS/LS points that you selected, not what others select. Also, you do get a princess, and you are able to sleep with her. The smuggler storyline is a pretty shameless love letter to Han Solo

    LoadingReadyRun: Socially Awkward

    None of the social sites were females because they were all supposed to sound like stalker-y ex-boyfriends.

    MMOs Need More Bastards

    First off, I think you are mistaken with what faction represents the minority and what faction represents the majority. From what I understand, UO was experiencing a downward subscription spiral that continued up until the released Trammel. Secondly, your secondary idea is sorta backwards...

    Poll: Portal 1 or 2? Which did you prefer?

    I feel like people who are claiming Portal 2 is far too easy compared to the monstrous nightmare of Portal 1 have huge cases of selective memory. That or they only are remembering the Challenge Puzzles and not the main campaign. Portal 2's puzzles are far more complicated and involved than...

    Extra Punctuation: Building Sequels Badly

    Ironically, this post seems to be mostly comprised of nerdrage fueled by a fanboy's massively unrealistic expectations being unmet.

    Zero Punctuation: Portal 2

    I feel like this entire review lacks perspective. I actually went back and replayed Portal to compare it to Portal 2. Every non-tutorial puzzle provided me with significantly more difficulty than any of the non-challenge portals in the original. The physics of the game were also much...

    The Truth About 4th Edition: Part Two of Our Exclusive Interview with Wizards of the Coast

    Interesting. There was alot of points that he wanted to make and quite clearly alot of things he didn't want to talk about. Personally, I thought 4e was a step up from 3.5 which had a number of wierd issues I wasn't a fan of, and then Pathfinder was a step up from 4e, being a 3.5 with all...

    Guitar Hero: Rock Opera

    Errrrr... So as an avid player of Guitar Hero / Rock Band games, I can tell you how much time I actually spend watching the awesome graphics subimposed beneath the fret board, and the answer is not a whole lot. All of my concentration has to be on that fret board otherwise I plink away into...
