    Poll: Your preferred RPG "Archetype?"

    I, for one, enjoy playing the swashbuckling, cunning Bard who combines clever use of magic, a good bluff, and fancy sword play to leave all my enemies in utter befuddlement.

    A Bizarre Happenstance on Mount and Blade

    This is just a little story from a session of Mount and Blade: With Fire and Sword that you all might find amusing. (There is a bit of fabrication in the form of my character interacting with people and role-playing, but not much..): So, I decided to load up on of my old M&B saves from...

    Hackers Knock Out Mega

    OT: Can the government get its head out of its ass with these copyrighting laws already? They're behaving like children afraid of the monster in the closet when that's supposed to be Publishers' jobs....to...cower... anyway... @ Omega: Pffft....ghheee.....ahahahahahahahahahaha!

    NCSoft: City of Heroes Can't Be Saved

    An opinion is not a truth. You have equal right to say the game was terrible to your heart's content. Doing so is not going to alter the reality that it is still an opinion and not a proven fact. I liked the game. That's just my opinion. That's all there is to it.

    NCSoft: City of Heroes Can't Be Saved

    I highly disagree with this statement.

    NCSoft: City of Heroes Can't Be Saved

    I honestly have a serious doubt that NCsoft put any actual effort into trying to keep City of Heroes alive. This is a predictably publisher-like for them. If player movements were up to me, I would have it that NC never hears the end of it and has to put up with the torment of over 20,000...

    EA: "There Is No Feud With Valve"

    Well played, my good sir. Well played. Yeah...all there is to see here is that EA is on "Damage Control Mode". Kind of a pity that they fancy themselves competition with Steam when they tend to struggle with getting ahead of Activision. If y'all will excuse me, I'm gonna go see what all I...

    Escapist Podcast: Is Photorealism Needed for Gaming to Advance?

    Y'know....for anyone who thinks that realistic graphics are what should make a game...they clearly have not seen the true wonder that is... In all seriousness, 2k is shooting itself in the foot with this proclamation. Then again, all the "big boy" video game companies make stupid...

    No Right Answer: LuthorCorp vs. Stark Industries

    OT:I would say Stark Industries because they're making an alternative fuel source, which in the end will sell like hotcakes. Not to mention the flying cars. (He did say just a few years.) Off-topic: Perhaps the next episode should be "Worst Comic Ever" (I.E., One More Day)

    Japanese Politicians Announce Plan to Build Gundams

    Sign me up! I'd like to pilot the prototype for the next model: More OT: ..Okay. This is awesome. But..why aren't we developing stuff like this? We need to start researching technology for Transformers or maybe even a Star Destroyer. Something!

    Near Miss

    I was honestly very disappointed in this movie. It had a lot of potential to do something different or at least fun and interesting that we don't see often. Unfortunately, that was not the case. It was a good movie, but not a Pixar movie. I share the arrow analogy, Bob. Looks like Pixar...

    The Big Picture: Tropes vs. MovieBob

    I'm leaning on this side of thinking. Don't get me wrong. I think that the gratuitous over-sexualization of women is repulsive where pointless. (Guess what? I'm a heterosexual white male.) However, when people start speaking of equality, it also isn't uncommon to hear the over-demonization...

    Bethesda Announces The Elder Scrolls Online

    Slightly off-topic: M'aiq the Liar(Morrowind): "Multiplayer: 'M'aiq does not know this word. You wish others to help you in your quest? Coward! If you must, search for the Argonian Im-Leet, or perhaps the big Nord, Rolf the Uber. They will certainly wish to join you.'" M'aiq the...

    Paarthurnax and The Blades: Why I have Problems With it.

    So they are dragon slayers. Fair enough, but I still don't think it excuses their attitudes of superiority over the Dragonborn. He should be calling the shots, not them.
