    The /v/ board on 4chan pretty much started the Gaben Worship trend.

    How should the next Elder Scrolls Game be handled?

    Wasn't the whole point of the shivering isles DLC that you, the player, the hero of kvatch, stopped the greymarch and therefore Jyggalag managed to break free from his curse of existing as Sheogorath? And then you take sheogoraths place as the new prince of madness. Incidentally, the Sheogorath...

    The New Shiny Escapist

    My biggest issue at the moment is that even when you go into the news section of the site, there's a very short list. I read the news here about twice a week, and then I read all of it, which means I open about 30 tabs a time. this is going to be very bothersome with the short list and no page...

    New Tomb Raider Film Will Be a "Character Piece"

    When you put it that way, I can definately see the possibility. Even though I'm pretty sure Graham King is still a bad producer who's only talent is picking good projects, he may actually be using the correct term here. Well argued, Vanguard.

    New Tomb Raider Film Will Be a "Character Piece"

    A character piece is generally a concept talked about in music, and means a piece bases on a single idea or concept. This seems unlikely for a Tomb Raider film, so it's probably just Graham King throwing around fancy words he doesn't even know the meaning of.

    You Skyrim Backstory...

    My Imperial Agent is a special agent for the empire, sent to skyrim to help the legion black ops style. Because of conflicting intel, I was caught and to be killed by the very organisation I was helping. That's where the dragon comes in. I play dual-wielding shield, because I have spent over a...

    Trailers: Blizzard DOTA - Announcement Trailer

    Actually, as it is a mod created by the community, I don't really think anyone can claim a right to the IP, law-wise. I was just trying to say that I think Icefrog deserves it more than anyone else, except possibly for the original creater, of whom I don't know the name and won't bother to look up.

    Trailers: Blizzard DOTA - Announcement Trailer

    I would claim that more than anything, it's Icefrogs IP now, and since he's working for valve now, I don't really see the problem with valve making DOTA 2 as a full game, valve really has a habit of hiring modders and making their mods into games, although usually they'd been modding valve...

    Trailers: Blizzard DOTA - Announcement Trailer

    Actually, DOTA was a community made custom map for Warcraft 3, and Valve has decided to make a game based on this mod, which they are calling DOTA 2. Some people are getting mad over this, but it's no more of a rip-off than HoN or LoL, other than the name. I'm not sure about the laws here, but I...

    Seattle "Superhero" Arrested For Pepper Spray Assault

    I think the guy filming isn't an innocent bystander, I think it's the guy who's making a Pheonix Jones documentary. Not sure though, but it seems fairly likely.

    No Right Answer: George Lucas vs George Lucas

    But the originals are no longer in print, and George has refused to donate a copy of the them to the National Film Registry, which he helped create. Lucas has stated that he would like the original versions to disappear, and that once the existing VHS and Laserdisc releases deteriorate he hopes...

    Crytek Invades Homefront Sequel, Ousting Kaos

    I remember THQ or Kaos Studios saying that they were planning to take the franchise outside of America, and hopefully that's what crytek will do.

    Escape to the Movies: Rise of the Planet of the Apes

    Well there are a number of reason why a zombies uprising wouldn't make it. They Have Too Many Natural Predators Biting is a Terrible Way to Spread a Disease Weapons. (This applies to apes as well though) These gorillas are more intelligent, which makes it about equal plausability for...

    Escape to the Movies: Rise of the Planet of the Apes

    Yes, and all zombie movies are stupid because we would easily beat them before the infection has spread. Also the Harry potter movies are stupid because they didn't use guns. These sort of films are unrealistic, yes, but that's part of the charm. I'm betting most sci-fi films you like has...
