    Donald Rumsfeld Has Released an Incredibly Frustrating Mobile Game

    Rumsfeld is as bad at making mobile games as he is at invading and occupying countries in the middle-east. Who knew?

    Game Developers Don't Know How to Scare Us

    The analysis is right, but I don't agree with the conclusion so much. Strip away the horror, it's still a very solid shooter. Shamus is right that FPS mechanics don't mesh with horror very well, which is I think FEAR is smart to interweave the two but still keep them essentially separate. The...

    Game Developers Don't Know How to Scare Us

    I have to disagree about FEAR: I think it did horror/FPS right, because it avoided the problems you noted. All of its really scary stuff was outside of FPS mechanics: except for the very end, you never shoot or otherwise interact with Alma and the phenomenon she spawns. The shooter parts are...

    SMITE Lore: Ep. 40 - Who is Thanatos?

    Alright, so you know how Nevercake makes awesome lore videos?

    Star Trek II, Aliens Composer James Horner Dead in Plane Crash

    Damn, that's terrible. The Wrath of Khan is probably my favourite movie soundtrack of all time, and he was responsible for so many other good scores. A loss of a truly talented man. RIP

    Hearthstone Adds Cosmetic Alternate Hero Skins For $10 Each

    $10 is a bit rich, but I think you get more out of it than the $20 mount they have for Heroes of the Storm, so I guess it's ok?

    Honest Game Trailers: Counter-Strike

    Source is probably the best from a pure game-play perspective. CS Online has boobies, so it still wins out overall.

    Honest Game Trailers: Counter-Strike

    As somebody who has played off and on since Beta 2, I rate this as 10,000% true.

    Valve's VR Headset is "Vive", And is a Collaboration With HTC

    I can't wait to play Half-Life 3 with this fancy VR technology. OH WAIT A MINUTE....

    Heroes of The Storm's Pricing Structure is Unacceptable. Here's How to Fix it

    I'm playing HotS a bit and enjoying it, but ultimately the high prices of everything (even more so because I'm Canadian and have to deal with a nigh-worthless loonie right now) are going to keep me from investing in it. I'll stick to Mechwarrior Online where I can actually earn significant...

    Why the Marvel Movies Should Ditch Peter Parker

    Miles Morales makes a ton of sense. Helps put some distance between the MCU and the other movies, and you have some good points about origin. And it's not like the MCU hasn't already heavily mined the Ultimate universe of ideas anyway.

    On the PC Master Race and the Language Police

    I've only ever used the term in self-deprecation. Are there people who actually take "PC master race" completely seriously? Because I've never met them.

    Classic Space Sim FreeSpace Returns With New Tabletop Kickstarter

    I literally cannot throw money at this fast enough.

    Star Wars: This Is How You Defend The Ridiculous Crossguard Lightsaber

    All of you've really done is explain something we've known for a long time: that only force users can effectively use lightsabers as weapons. Obviously they have much greater control over their own reflexes (not to mention some pre-cognitive abilities) and thus can not chop off their own limbs...

    Miracle of Sound: Shadow of the Ash (Shadow of Mordor Music Video)

    Rockin. Also, nice call back to 'Call of Home'. edit: and can anyone else hear shades of 'Shadows in the Moonlight' at 3:16? Don't think it's exactly the same, but it certainly is reminiscent. Same key I guess.
