    These ads are making me want to escape from this website.

    Poll: Jim sterling VS Extra credits

    No really opinion here, but holy shit, since when does everyone hate EC? ..Also, I have yet to see an explanation for the "pretentious" line...I've never felt that they were pretentious at all.

    These ads are making me want to escape from this website.

    I agree, it's getting way over the top. I've also yet to see another site that's taken it as far as this one has. I get people need to make money. But when you have banner ads that have actually replaced the background of the website,, smaller ads on the pages of the site, an ad before every...

    Zero Punctuation: Kid Icarus: Uprising

    I usually don't get into arguments over games I haven't played, but he did actually mention the bosses and the level design.

    EA Wins Title of "Worst Company in America"

    (Didn't even know a subdivision of EA created Mass Effect..how the fuck did that happen?) I probably would have voted for someone else - compared to other companies, they're not so bad. I do think EA might pay a bit more attention, though. Their quote seems to imply that Consumerist is this...

    Multiplayer : do you hold back ?

    Nope. When I was a super noob, everyone went hard on me, and that's how I improved.

    Poll: Why do people think of Half Life 2 : Episode 1 as the weakest link in the the series?

    It might have something to do with people who first played it as a stand alone, and were frustrated by its (relative to the others) lack of content and ending. If you get an episode and it doesn't have as much content as you were hoping for something huge, but got something a lot smaller, you're...

    This happens so often to me.

    One Million Moms Want Same-Sex Archie Comic Out of Toys 'R' Us

    Yup. And Toys R Us, as a privately own company, has the right to tell them to fuck right off. Toy stores are not a democracy, and if you don't like that, I suggest you start shopping somewhere else.

    so....Not having children=Selfish?

    It's an illogical statement imo. People who say this don't really seem to have reasoning behind it, other than the "You get to live your life w/o caring for someone else, and I think that's selfish because I assume that the responsibilities I've imposed on myself should be imposed on everyone"...

    Laugh at the Minecraft 1.2 Features Released Today

    I'm annoyed by the titles of articles that this site is turning out. The title says "Laugh at the ... features", implying that this update is laughable. In truth, they simply want us to laugh at a silly video. Well, I've already seen the video. I came here because I thought you had an objection...

    Fox Business Criticizes Studio Ghibli's Latest

    When did telling stories to teach our children values we hold become wrong? I mean, the people on Fox, I assume, are mostly Christian. I'm sure they don't decide to keep their beliefs to themselves until their children grow up.

    Gabe Newell Acknowledges Frustrations With Half-Life 3

    ...The fuck? Is it a project that you want to make, or not? Seriously, it's not a hard question. Stop with this "well we're not going to talk about that topic, and here's about a paragraph of filler saying why we don't talk about that topic so you can report that we talked about the topic."

    Dad uses Facebook to teach daughter a lesson.

    Just pointing out, he says he works in IT. It's not like he shot the laptop because he's afraid of technology.

    Marines posed with Nazi SS symbol in Afghanistan

    Well, they should get on changing the practice of using the flag. I lose a lot of faith in the intelligence of our military knowing that none of them made the link in their minds between "two sig runes" and "the two sig runes used by Nazis."
