    How Star Wars: The Old Republic Handles Sex

    Of course you are! Because lesbians are hawt, right? Go go lesbians! (But the gay dudes, they totally have to go.) ...so yeah, this strikes me as the silliest discussion ever. "There will be no sex in the new Star Wars MMO!" ..Yeah, riiiiight, just get enough players on that server and...

    In Defense of Booth Babes

    !??!?!?!?!?!?! Whaaaaaaaat? Pardon me, but I was under the impression that a large portion of games today ALREADY have tons and tons of sexified women in them. Maybe not as far as the eye can see, and certainly not always as playable characters, but Hot Chicks are a MAJOR part of the...

    Canada Added to U.S. Piracy Watch List

    Oh Oh. Hell. Yeah. Maybe if we had legal access to all the cool shit you US people do, there'd be a tad less piracy? Maybe? Perhaps? I'm still pissed that all this great streaming stuff is online and I CAN'T WATCH ANY OF IT because I'm not in the US. Dammit. WE should put THEM on OUR...

    City of Heroes Players Outdo Developer

    It was previously mentioned that there ARE "Dev's Choice" maps to pick from. And while randomly picking something to try out is no doubt going to end in tears and WTF, I can easily see joining a CoH/V community dedicated to making missions and picking from the people who post about their genuine...

    Warhammer Online Population Drops to 300,000

    Warhammer Online is a freakin' sweet game. It's pretty and it's fun and it's, well, okay, more of the same fight-PvP-grind business that we've all seen before. It does it well, so we can't fault it for that! Problem is? Everyone plays WoW. EVERYONE. I swear, every single person in my...

    183: The Joy of Videogame Cooking

    Nice article. I'm both a video game enthusiast and a cooking enthusiast, so I've got a bit of a different perspective. I can survive quite well in a kitchen, thanks... but I DID pick up a skill or two from Cooking Mama. Onion chopping? Seriously, it's an excellent way to make sure you get just...

    For the Zombie Horde

    Y'see, that sounds like my idea of a good time. Blizzard just handed us all a Neat New Toy! Sure, okay, so we're not going to get any questing done for a few hours, possibly a day or two... so what? Time to play with the Neat New Toy! Zombie Raids? Sure! Let's test the limits of this thing...

    165: The Frag Fraternity?

    I'm a girl and I've always wanted to go to a LAN party. Totally wanted to. The IDEA of it appeals to me, all... gaming all night and whee funstuff. But I totally SUCK at any game that would likely get played, and yeah... I'm not up for the humilliation and general shitty attitudes that I'll...

    Zero Punctuation: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

    I loved this one! :D Not for any particular review reasons (I couldn't give half a damn about Brawl), but because Mr. Yahtzee, sir? It appears that your animation skills have suddenly gone up a few notches. There's some CLEVER visual shiz happening here, and I LIKE it! Kudos! :D

    142: How to Devour the Flesh of Your Ancestors

    If there's anything I've taken away from this article, it's that I now know that I am not the only kid on this planet who would buy game magazines for systems that she did not own. My God. It's such a head rush! I may have lived in a Nintendo household, and never had an N64, and Sega was to be...

    Activision Announces Guitar Hero: Aerosmith

    There's the key. I have no problem with new songs to play in Guitar Hero. That's the point, right? Songs! Yay! But I'd hate to have to shell out sixty bucks plus tax (up here in Canada, yay) for what's essentially an add-on.

    136: My Own Private Outer Space

    This was a very good article, but I can't say that I feel exactly the same way. I think all the hard scary science of space is absolutely FASCINATING. It's not the pulpy, pop-culture-y, shiny vision that's lots of fun to go play in... but it's still damned impressive on its own merits. Have...

    Nintendo Seeks U.S. Assistance in Anti-Piracy Efforts

    Maybe you're glimpsing at the past through rose-tinted glasses, but the "Nintendo Seal of Quality" didn't actually mean that a game was any good. It just meant that the developer paid Nintendo for the right to make the game, that it wouldn't break your system if you used it, and that it met...

    OMFG Jack did WHAT?

    First EA standing up for its developers, and then Jack Thompson thinking the whole thing is silly... I... I don't know what to think, anymore. The world, it's... it's changing! D:

    Jack Thompson Releases Grand Theft Auto IV Statement

    Aside from the fact that he's, y'know, Crazy Ol' Jack Thompson, his general desire to not let kids under 17 buy a really violent and generally not kid-appropriate game is generally one that I can get behind. Generally. His methods and hyperbole are what get everyone riled up. So yeah, I do sort...
