    Worst Multiplayer Map of All Time

    Oh God, this. You can so easily tell MW3 was made by talentless hacks.

    Worst Multiplayer Map of All Time

    While we're talking about CoD maps: CoD 4 on the PC was just laughably bad sometimes. It is still the only multiplayer game I have ever played in which I died three times in a row right after I respawned because somebody dropped a Martyrdom grenade near my spawnpoint. At least in MW2's more...

    Zero Punctuation: Lollipop Chainsaw

    Nathan Drake is nothing but a modern day Indiana Jones. A pulp character. Someone who has the same enthusiastic reaction to a bunch of people attempting to kill him as to getting a parking ticket (oooh boy). Don't get me wrong, he's funny, but he's not a particularly deep character. This new...

    Zero Punctuation: Lollipop Chainsaw

    That wasn't said by the director, and that wasn't even what was meant. The idea is that you'll REALLY want to see Lara succeed, that they want to make you feel as thought if you were there, you'd want to do everything in your power to protect her. It's called building empathy for a character...

    Zero Punctuation: Lollipop Chainsaw

    Well it can't be argued Samus's characterization in Other M basically stems from the japanese society's view of women. The producer, Yoshio Sakamoto, wrote the script as well, and it's really obvious the guy is a mysoginist.

    Just what the hell is "fucked" about wanting to protect Lara in the new Tomb Raider? I'm sorry Croshaw, but you really jumped the shark with your contrarian bullshit on that one.

    Zero Punctuation: E3 2012

    I'm sorry, did I miss something? When did being baffled at other people's idiocy become interchangable with being offended?

    BUT IT'S NOT SEXUALIZED!

    Zero Punctuation: E3 2012

    That's just it: they are making her MORE than a blank slate character. In case I have to remind you: THIS IS A REBOOT. You completely misunderstood the developer. They are fleshing out Lara's character so you can emphasize with her, so that you will care about what happens to her and feel a...

    Zero Punctuation: E3 2012

    Wow, that's so inaccurate it's not even funny. And what, caring about a character suddenly became a perversion overnight while I was sleeping?

    Zero Punctuation: E3 2012

    What the everloving hell is sexualized about Lara's sufferring in Tomb Raider? Seriously, this idea just makes absolutely no sense to me.

    Pedophile Sues Crew of "To Catch A Predator"

    Oh, those poor, poor guys who were intending to have sex with an underage child! We should comfort their criminal asses, tell them that everything is allright, and that being a child molester is not wrong at all! Yeah, no. Bleeding-heart liberal bullshit like that is the reason society is in...

    Pedophile Sues Crew of "To Catch A Predator"

    I really don't understand the mentality of some of you people posting in this thread. Pray tell, what on Earth is wrong with vigilanteism, or ruining the life of a child molester? What the hell is wrong with you people attacking Hansen and what he's doing?

    xcom: fail?

    If "die hard xcom fans" are the kind of people who makes threads that have the word fail in their names, Ireally hope they do get mad at the new game.

    Critical Miss: Y Ddraig Cach

    This was just racist. And unfunny.
