    Are Games Losing My Interest, or Is it Just Me?

    I do this a lot now, too, but I think it's a habit I subconsciously developed. I "watch" things like The Daily Show and crappy B Horror movies by listening to them in the background, and I always pull up some game to play while I'm doing that. It's usually something mindless like Minecraft or...

    Stardew Valley's Relationships are Really Rather Off-Putting

    I agree with this. Not everyone's so gung-ho sexually that they'd be up for having sex under those conditions. And logically, there could be other cultures out there with strict beliefs about marriage/commitment rituals before intercourse. It would be interesting to see that explored -- Maybe...

    Female Robot Wants a Family, Then to Destroy Humanity

    Maybe it's just me but even if I concentrate on just her face, it still looks completely fake and recognizable as a machine and not a person. Her lower eyelid kept shaking unrealistically when she talked, as if it wasn't fully connected to her face. Her eyebrows also move too much while she's...

    Fallout 4 Automatron Add-on Gets New Trailer

    If they'll let me make a dogbot, then we'll be in business. Or maybe, a robot that looks like a Radstag. I'm jussayin', there are not enough badass animal companions.

    PSA: Last Chance to Get Fallout 4's Season Pass Before Price Hike

    Just an FYI: Green Man Gaming has a 20% off voucher code you can use to purchase the Season Pass from their site. I got mine for $24--uploaded the code to Steam and everything. Anyone who wants all the DLC will buy a Season Pass so they don't miss any additonal content, or wait for a Game of...

    Is this guy a dick or is this ableism?

    I have to agree with the others who have already said he's not being a dick, the person behind him is just being impatient. Don't get me wrong, I have definitely had "Will you frickin' hurry up" thoughts while waiting for someone slower than me to finish something so it's my turn. But I don't...

    Interrupting People

    Interrupters have become my greatest pet peeve. For one thing, I am one of those people who doesn't talk much. People come to me because I'm a great listener. But like every other human being, I will have something to say/get off my chest. It might seem inane to you but it is important to me to...

    Zero Punctuation: Rise of the Tomb Raider

    I was fairly tired of the new Lara's struggle in the first game, too. I mean I understand that we're supposed to be going through a journey of her early years, fresh off the boat and learning what it takes to truly get what she wants, but I expected her to be less whiny about it after the first...

    Judging By The Cover: How Does Bloodborne Hold Up?

    Bravo. I felt like I was in an overly-spacious art gallery, snacking on tiny cubed cheeses and sipping wine while listening to a haughty docent lecture me on a sculpture propped on a thin white pedestal. It was really hilarious.

    Steam Machine Pre-Orders Shipping in October

    I guess I'm not the average rube because I've had my PC hooked up to my TV for years and since most of the games I play are compatible with my wireless Xbox 360 controller, I haven't needed to purchase a console in a while. It's definitely debatable, but I almost feel like as the years go by and...

    Steam Now Offering Refunds "For Any Reason"

    I'm glad they've finally considered refunds. There are several games on my list I played for a few minutes before I realized I'd wasted money. Too bad the time limit on that is two weeks. They wouldn't even have to give me a full refund; I just want them off my library for good. I'm assuming...

    8 Bit Philosophy: Do Animals Deserve Human Rights (Pokemon + Speciesism)

    I would definitely try some Pikachu bacon. It's probably a staple meal on some continent in the Pokemon Universe. I'm on the fence about the idea that animals deserve the same rights as humans; however, I do believe they deserve the same level of consideration. We didn't always but nowadays...

    5 Movies with Dark Twists that Make Guys Cry

    While I'm not a guy, I didn't find the ending of The Mist to be particularly tear-jerking. Frankly, I was annoyed at how quickly they seemed to give up. They only just got out of the supermarket full of crazies and barely went the length of their own city/county before deciding the whole world...

    I'm an American, how can I get my hands on British chocolate?

    I prefer getting my candy internationally (it just plain tastes better), so I shop at the World Market (http://www.worldmarket.com/) whenever I get a chance. They have stores all over the U.S. and you can order some things from their website if there's no store near you. Also if you would like...

    Poll: Facial Hair. Yay, Nay or damn that's just hay.

    There are several men in my social circle with beards. Some of them are annoying to look at, while others make me want to run my fingers through them and scritch their chins. So, I can't really say either way what I like. I guess it depends on how manly it makes you look. I don't like men who...
