    So about all of this sexual assault...

    I mean, I believe in the innocent until proven guilty principle, so I don't throw stones at the accused, literally or virtually. But, on the other hand, I wouldn't let them babysit my niece either. As far as I think, their careers shouldn't be over due to accusations, but the companies they...

    I want to go on a lonely adventure into an unknown, interesting world. Any PC recommendations?

    Actually, as someone who has played all the Gothic/Risen games, I consider the first Risen to be the simplest of the 3. Then again it may be nostalgia for that clunky Gothic combat, but I found both 2 and 3 very entertaining. You can get them for very cheap, and they run on your machine. Don't...

    So that whole "female main characters don't sell" bullshit

    Horizon is not a really good example. As a famous reviewer here once said, (paraphrasing) fanboys will buy anything as long as it's an exclusive. And a couple hits don't take away the fact that the best selling games of all time have male protagonists (or female protagonists with ridiculous...

    A Serbian Film - Notoriously Disgusting

    As someone who works with realistic (as in real) gore on a daily basis (ER Doc), but is also an horror fan. I saw that movie ages ago, and despite I couldn't roll my eyes harder at the most 'shocking' scenes put the just for edgy shock's sake (newborn pooooorn!), it wasn't a bad little flick. It...

    So you're telling us you can't please SJWs? No freaking way.

    Is this how we should handle Dick Pics?

    The mere visage of my penis is glorious, and I'm sure my coworkers, friends and family would be proud and congratulate me if she did that. Unfortunately, I don't send dick pics. Women don't deserve to see it without putting any effort on their part.

    Can we stop with the "Batman is more relatable than Superman" thing?

    "My fictional character is more realistic than yours!"

    Why do people scream "Feminist Agenda" when there is a female lead?

    On your first point I cannot single out anyone, because for my own mental health I only glance those articles and see that part of games media as an amorphous mass who is constantly "Rabble, rabble, rabble". So I can concede that point if it makes you feel better. The second one I cannot...

    Why do people scream "Feminist Agenda" when there is a female lead?

    Three word: "Assassin's Creed Syndicate" In the previous AC people bitched about not being enough women, and then Ubi filled the next one with way too many women and the same people shouted about being pandered to. The ironic thing is that those people say those games are crap anyway, so...

    Poll: Do you have tits?

    I don't, but I'd love to have yours for a moment. (If you're an attractive female, ofc).

    Bioware, Please Make A Plus-Sized Female Dragon Age Character!

    Well. Its a videogame, and they're not discriminating against you (unless in the 80's carpenters were all the rage). I made my inquisitor to fit his background, a silver eyed, blonde, highborne prick. Doesn't look like me at all, but I'm having fun. Open your eyes before closing your mind...

    Should Games Arbitrarily Withhold Content?

    It's the internet age adjusting to games in their own way. Before it people would have to carve their way through a 6 hour game to see all the content, and it would take days. Solutions for puzzle games came in magazines or expanded through word of mouth. Now it's just as simple as a 2 second...

    Reddit Bans Subreddits about Making Fun of Fat People, Neogaf, and others.

    From the perspective of a physician working in a country with socialised healthcare: Fat people deserve to be brought to light, publicly condemned, and rehabilitated. They're addicts who continue to indulge in their favourite drug. And I don't know where you are from, but here the costs of...

    PSA: Be Wary of "Pre-Steam Sale" Markups

    TIL a sleuth also refers to a pack of bears. On topic: The people are just as guilty for impulse buying. This has been going on forever in department stores, as anyone who worked on retail can tell you. The rule of thumb is to know what you want and how much you are willing to pay for it.

    Why did BioWare not do a good job with DA: Inquisition?

    "Next up: Why do you think Ion Storm did a bad job with Deus Ex?" Man. It's the same formula Bioware has been using and improving since KotOR. It's a pretty good game, and as long as they keep doing that in different settings, I'll keep getting and enjoying them. So, no, I don't think they...
