    #004 - Persuasive Technique

    Maybe I'm doing something stupid by trying to bring up real world logic to this, but I keep thinking: how does Erin keep herself supplied with food/meds/drugs? I suppose weed can be homegrown and there's always online shopping for food (although she would still need to go out to pick up the...

    Bully HD Makeover Makes Bullworth Deserving of a Revisit

    Wait... Scholarship Edition was supposed to be a "HD rerelease"? I thought the name just meant it was a port over to newer consoles/PC, didn't know it had lets-call-them-upscaled graphics too. I took a look at the screenshots on the Steam page and somehow it looks worse than it did on the PS2...

    Bully HD Makeover Makes Bullworth Deserving of a Revisit

    Like everyone else, I jumped at the mere thought of Bully getting an HD rerelease only to have my hopes crushed after actually reading what the article was about. I would seriously love it if Rockstar decided to do anything with the series (re-release, sequel, anything really). *sigh* Now I'm...

    Most Frustrating (Non-Boss) Enemies in games!

    Eh, Arcane Horrors aren't that bad if you have ranged attacks. If you're playing a Warrior/Dagger Rogue though, I can see where you're screwed. The Revenants are the real annoying ones with that attack that drags you right next to them and stuns you long enough for it to kill you in 2-3 hits...

    Are people abusing the concept of a trigger?

    I have two opinions on this whole "trigger" business. On one hand I think that triggers are a good idea when used properly for the proper audience. I once read someone say that triggers are the "contains peanuts" of artistic content (be it literature, photography, video, etc) and it made a lot...

    Ubisoft Responds to AC:U Criticism - Will Change its Review Policies

    Early access to their games? So they want to continue selling unfinished/buggy games but now under the excuse that it's for beta testing purposes. Ubisoft already has a pretty damaged image in the minds of most gamers, just look at how many ubisoft themed jimquisitions we've gotten over the...

    The Sims 4 Review - More BooHoo Than WooHoo

    (Note: This is coming from someone that has a slight addiction problem to the Sims games, having spent almost as much time playing TS3 as other games like Skyrim or an MMO) Well, I kinda saw that coming. The game is not bad but it's not good either. I knew well enough that the game would feel...

    Games you have played A LOT but never finished.

    Let's see... Might as well start with Skyrim and Fallout 3 since everyone else is doing it. It's the same problem on both: I play through the main questline, finish most of the side quests and then abandon the game when I get to the DLC stuff. Happens every single time. There's SPAZ (Space...

    Escapist = Illuminati??

    I have no idea what is going on here, but just just by looking at the lighting and creepy logo I would guess someone angered someone (something?) important. I'll go to my basement and start the dark purge rites. Someone get me the jugs of goat blood and the black candles.

    The 8 Finalists in the 2014 World Cup

    HEY! That's not nice. [insert pointless argument about how good CRC has played in the last couple of games] [insert multiple praises to CRC's goalie, Saint Keylor Navas] [insert observation of how CRC is the only standing survivor of the so-called "(D)eath Group"] [insert sudden...

    What Game(s) Are You Excited For in the Second Half of 2014?

    Let's see... On the big games part I'm waiting for Far Cry 4, Dragon Age: Inquisition and Civ: Beyond Earth. Far Cry because despite being disappointed by their most recent stuff (Watch_Dogs I'm looking at you) FC3 was good and FC4 looks pretty sweet. Civ because it's Civ in space and I don't...

    What game has kept you up the longest?

    I can go through the same list as most of you: Skyrim gets gold for clocking in almost 20 hours straight, Sims 3 gets silver for 16 hours (remodeling a big house is hell) and Fallout 3 gets bronze for 10 hours. -- Special mentions go to Civ5 and the BitTrip Runner games. First time that...

    Games you'd like to see ported to the PC

    I agree with you on the Fire Emblem and strategy games thing, but... Why would you say such things about Final Fantasy Tactics Advance? Why? I feel like I should add you to my friends list just so I can say "You are no longer my friend" and remove you because of that comment. You're seriously...

    Transistor appreciation thread

    I have mixed feelings about Transistor. Now, don't get me wrong. I know this is an appreciation thread and I loved a lot of everything of that game. The art style is gorgeous, the music is perfect, the gameplay/combat is fun to mix while trying to find what suits you (Flood[Ping() + Void()]...

    Looking for Book Recommendations

    This is one book that I can't stop recommending to everyone: Rx: A Tale of Electronegativity http://www.amazon.com/dp/1482520214 It's a short little book, can take you 8-10 hours to finish depending on how fast you read but it's one of those little gems that I've found while looking for...
