    Poll: Worst gaming trend?

    I cannot stand how almost every game these days has some sort of competitive multiplayer mode tacked on, which locks the platinum trophy behind reach level 55 in multiplayer. However, the nickel and diming that is microtransactions can destroy the core gameplay experience and suck all the joy...

    The Top 10 Worst Portrayals of Gamers on Television

    I would love to live in your world. In what possible universe is MovieBob better known than the majority of TV shows on this list? Unless you are trolling, then more power to you.

    Aren't you guys going a little overboard with the Quinnspiracy?

    I saw this linked to in another post and I wanted to congratulate you on absolutely nailing this issue. I have unsuccessfully tried to encapsulate this issue and I don't need to try any longer because you have tied it all up with a Joker gif bow. Good work!

    Remember Me was Misunderstood Says Creative Director

    I quite enjoyed Remember Me, but it was game whose ambition exceeded its grasp. As I recall, every critical review that I read of the game said pretty much the same thing; not entirely sure where the misunderstanding factors in.

    Jimquisition: Buyer Beware

    I recently bought a PS3 and have been catching up on some exclusives and other older titles I had previously missed. Here is my routine before making a purchase - watch a couple of reviews from trusted reviewers (if I have never heard of the game before), check to see if all the trophies are...

    The Big Picture: The Devil You Know - Part I

    A statement like "all the non-Christians basically killing and skinning people and wearing them like capes, building shrines out of skulls, murdering people on stone slabs, and whatever else" needs something more specific than stuff on the history channel and I don't think that we should...

    The Big Picture: The Devil You Know - Part I

    The book was published in 1980 and the events which Michelle "recalled" during her psychiatric sessions started when she was 5 years old in 1955. The book is bunk and attempting to tie it to modern day sex tourism is a stretch at best. Also, I would like to see what evidence there is of "all...

    Most Boring Opinions in Geek Culture - Part II

    Poor Timothy Dalton made only two Bond films, one of the best and one of the worst. However, George Lazenby is the most unfairly derided Bond.

    Escape to the Movies: Zero Dark Thirty

    I think that is the first image of the American reboot of Godzilla. Unfortunately, they are going with gritty and realistic which is why Bob seems so upset.

    American McGee Sets the Record Straight on China's Game Policy

    I am quite thankful for the nuanced responses both by the interviewee and the author of the original article in question. The Escapist, and the entire world, is need of more of this. If your worldview is black-and-white, your perspective probably needs to be widened.

    Jimquisition: Fake Nerd Girls

    Far too shout-outs to the great Count Duckula in this thread in my opinion. This thing needs to go away, right now. A woman has to answer a trivia contest to enter the club!?! Grow up, get a life, and stop being a dick. That being said, if you feel that you are been exploited by any...

    The Big Picture: Schlocktober 2012: Orca

    Since Orca was partially filmed just a few minutes from my hometown, it is my duty to correct one slight error. Newfoundland is not pronounced "New Finland" the often repeated mnemonic device is - Understand Newfoundland. Unfortunately, I was not old enough to attend the première, but...

    302: Who Cares About Mario?

    The original article was about brand loyalty and my point was that my loyalty to the Nintendo brand ended when they failed to produce any decent RPGs for the N64. Since then, I have never purchased a Nintendo console. I was given a Wii, but it is collecting dust and has seen significantly less...

    302: Who Cares About Mario?

    Unless I am mistaken, all of these games are on the DS. I said that my loyalty to Nintendo was betrayed by the fact that the N64 had no decent RPGs. Pointing out RPGs on the DS does not erase my displeasure at the lack of RPGs for the N64.

    The Big Picture: The Prophesy of Freakazoid

    Congratulations on your 100th episode and here's to 100 more! I never really watched Freakazoid, but I was a big fan of Animaniacs. I might have to rectify that.
