Great column this week, Yahtzee, but I would digress on a few points. 1. Mary Sue's can and do work in films and books. Perhaps the most iconic example would be Indiana Jones. He's handsome, smart, tough, punches people, gets to shoot foreigners with no repercussions, fights Nazis, says...

I'm baffled that Birdman didn't even get a mention on the list. Given he enjoys nice artsy cerebral genre bending dramas like Under the Skin and Gone Girl I figured that movie would fit in his baliwick. Perhaps he didn't see it??? I enjoyed Guardians of the Galaxy, but other than as a...

The graphics consists of at least 36,000 shades of color and can boast a polygon count of 40k on most characters. There's an objective description of some game's graphics without getting into aesthetics. Are we enlightened, yet? The sounds appear to have been recorded at 256bits and were...

It happened to everybody whose ever started playing Dark Souls ever. It's Dark Souls. You die. And you die. And you die. And you git gud. And then you die again. As a dark souls veteran I offer the following advice. 1.) Forget everything you've learned from previous hack and slash...

Nothing is really replaced. The final decision scene is patched with more dialogue. A fourth ending option is added and all the endings except the fourth ending have an additional aftermath slideshow that only serves to emphasize how ridiculous some of the endings were. The additional fourth...

God so many to consider for different reasons. In terms of great rpg series I'll start with something more modern, Mass Effect. Yes the third had an ending more disappointing than my son, but in terms of memorable characters and story moments Mass Effect as a series has stuck with me more so...

Oh dear god it is not. It was a cheap hackneyed deus ex machina to end the game because EA decided the dev time was up and Bioware needed it to end somehow. Anyway, the ending isn't a tearjerker. It's lazily rushed garbage filled with a cacophony of half baked ideas. However, a lot of...

I loved the crap out of Moon, but I have to take exception with the first line of this review: "This superb independent film, along with Europa Report, shows that intimate low-budget space films can surpass the blockbusters in terms of heart and story." Europa Report was a sci fi film ruined by...

I can. Lols at getting the pitchfork brigades to brandish their torches and pitchforks once again while at the same time testing out some new copy pasta script they found on the interwebz.

Nor are they known for having much in the vein of consistent ethics either. Kids, this has been a pie fight of epic proportions, a fucking troll's wet dream. Angry hysterical people waiting to aim their pitchforks at the next great outrage. The whole thing was finally starting to die...

Hat tip to Marshal Zukhov on the find. The lesson to learn: When you find yourself in a knee jerk frothing mouth rage state, jumping to far fetched conspiracies as obvious conclusions to why you are in a knee jerk frothing mouth rage state, you'll soon find yourself approached by my boy...

That isn't the intended implication of that particular line, so I apologize that you wasted so much effort debunking that. The point was that fifteen years ago, if you were to ask anyone what mediums had artistic credibility worth discussing, or as an artist worth getting into to be looked at as...

A lot of you guys love to hate her, but there is something you need to realize. She represents part of a milestone for the industry. I remember there was a thread asking what the difference was between her and some American Politician of the late 90's early 00's who wanted to ratchet down the...

I was addicted to WOW for a couple of years when i was in high school.(was playing 12+ hours every day) Thankfully i outgrew MMOs quickly.Now i can't stand the sight of them.I find them boring and repetitive filled with toxic behaviors.
