    Zero Punctuation: Capcom Five

    Not sure if serious. This is Ben "Yahtzee" "Godzilla" Croshaw here, if you really wanted sloppy Nintendo blowjibbers, then Bob Chipman is still making stuff, although even he admits to some degree Ninetndo has been screwing the pooch, letting Minecraft become the new Mario for a generation of...

    Yahtzee of Zero Punctuation is Joining The Escapist Full Time!

    As an Aussie I can and will blow this conspiracy theory, wide open. The 'everything will kill you myth' was designed to keep all them dirty foreign boat people out and leave the rest of Australia for the glorious master race... of PC gamers. But in all honesty it is funny to hear people from...

    Niantic Disables Pokemon GO Tracking, Shuts Down Third-Party Tracking Sites

    I've always found the comeback of "people using Poke-vision are lazy cheaters" to be grasping at straws, defending the game for bad design decisions for I don't know, blind nostalgia. The one weekend when I really used Pokevision, I went into the city center (Melbourne CBD to everybody at...

    Bleach is coming to an end

    Following Bleach for plot and good story telling is like going to an internet forum for intelligent discussions and diverse opinions, no correlation. If anything you follow Bleach because you like the way he draws and see what kind of banana the character pulls of their ass to show off a new...

    Which fictional characters heralded your sexual awakening?

    I was roughly, 5 -7 and saw 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit'.... oohhh Bob Hoskins, so dreamy.

    Poll: Would you not buy a game, if they gender swapped your hero?

    I'm all for more female characters and I think the whole "LoZ protagonist can never be female because girlz can't be courageous" (paraphrasing), but in most cases it doesn't make sense. The only reason it would make sense in LoZ is because Link is new person every time, like Thor, Link is a...

    SJW Jim Sterling says Link has to be female and that violent video games promote rape culture.

    It's one of those sad things when I think I know more about LoZ cannon then a lot of people and I don't play them anymore (I'm not 12). The argument about potentially making Link a girl can be made, because Link is new person every time, you can even call him something else. The only thing...

    Poll: So... Is the PC Master Race joke leaving the "Video Games" section any time soon?

    I feel that too many people take it as gospel more then a joke, and far too many are all too happy to go the low road. Don't you dare ask how the 'console update is going" for a game that started on PC (*cough* WARFRAME *uncough*) then the master race crawls out of the woodwork like scarabs from...

    Poll: Star Ocean5 censored in the west, misses the point still

    Here I jumped into the thread thinking the censorship was something important, but I get the feeling that nowadays when gamers cry about censorship it's about the the Tits and asses... y'know important things to a games message or mechanics.

    Gods of Egypt Director Blames Critics For Box Office Failure

    I honestly feel bad for Butler, he was one of my favorite actors, but then he stood too close to Katherine Heigl and been wallowing in mediocrity ever since...

    Zero Punctuation: Top 5 Games of 2015

    That's going to rustle a few jimmies, but from watching the Game Grumps play through of Undertale, it deserves all the praise it gets. Although it is probably the first instance I've ever had of being "spoiled", so it's best to play before you watch. Granted, I'm going to play it once I've...

    "Just go watch Porn!" (Probably NFSW, duh)

    I think a big reason why so many people want ecchi/titillating/borderline porn games comes down to one single word; Control. Control is what makes video games so much more engrossing then film or pictures and it's what fuels the conservatives that try to ban games based or violence or sex...

    A Japanese Tech Company Claims It Can Predict Crimes Before They Happen

    Somebody at R&D was a bit too into Psycho-Pass.

    Google Cracks Down on Adblock

    News flash, people won't watch your ads anyway, they'll go make a sandwich or something. The old models that are used to gain profits really don't work today, that said I don't know how you'd get a better new one. But the old one, thoughly broken.

    Celebrate old Escapists! The war against the newbies has been won!

    I check in very now and again for the weekly ZP and Liana's stuff but as others have said, I've stopped stalking the forums as I once did.
