    Zero Punctuation: The Surge

    Yow. It's been a good long while since we heard Yahtzee take a steaming dump on a game.

    Zero Punctuation: Super Mario Maker

    I have a vague feeling that Yahtzee didn't like Super Mario Maker.

    XCOM 2 is What Happens When You Lose Enemy Unknown

    Well, I'm unsuitably aroused.I shouldn't have read this on a full bus.

    There's Still More Super Smash Bros. 4 DLC Fighters to Come

    I wish Lucina had been less of a Marth clone. She's one of my favourite characters (And the only Amiibo I've got), so her being Female!Marth rather than unique is annoying. But I also get the logic, which makes it more annoying. I think The Great JT sees Ike and Robin as Marth clones too...

    Whoo Indie Bundle! Oh, wait, it's region-locked... Damn it!

    Money for Mods: Valve Announces Paid Skyrim Mods

    This makes me laugh. And laugh. And laugh. Why, of all games, would you start with Skyrim? Most Skyrim fans (Not all, there are exceptions...) loathe the Steam Workshop and hit up the Nexus for their mod fix. DarkOne is going to be dancing on a huge pile of money now that you're basically...

    Lord of Waterdeep

    Dude, look at the part he quoted. Its patently ridiculous. Maaaybe he's being humorous? Besides, everyone knows about Ned. That happened in games 5, 8 and 9.

    Square Enix Recommitting to JRPGs After Bravely Default's Success

    I'll be honest, I really don't know much about the earlier games. X was the first one I actually got to play, since when I was younger (And even today!) the classics are rarer than hen's teeth here in Western Australia. The only physical copy of FF7 I ever saw was for sale at a low low price of...

    Square Enix Recommitting to JRPGs After Bravely Default's Success

    Why does everyone want a new Final Fantasy? I honestly can't see that being a good thing. 6 through 8 were by all accounts pretty good games, I loved X (Bizarre laughing scene aside), but 12 was shite on a stick and 13 wasn't exactly a deep game. Let the series retire. Take a few steps back to...

    Reading App Lets You Blaze Through 1,000 Words-per-Minute

    I'd love this for textbook readings. Otherwise? BAH. Half of the fun of reading is enjoying it at a nice pace.

    British spy agency intercepted Yahoo webcam images

    I couldn't care less about my internet trail. I've long since accepted that my surfing is being watched by someone, and that's inevitable, but I have to say I'm rather uncomfortable with the whole 'look through personal files' part. Are you saying you wouldn't mind them lifting files directly...

    Bethesda Hates Mages: 12 Reasons Magic in Skyrim Sucks

    I came here knowing I'd find at least one guy saying this. But Magic actually is kinda pathetic. Yeah it's OP for making money with the transmute spell, but since your flamethrowers spell does 8 damage and your firebolt always does exactly 30 damage (or thereabouts) and your fireball does an...

    Kim Dotcom Search Warrant Ruled Legal By Appeals Court

    Huh. Thanks for that. I didn't know some of that stuff. Eh. My personal feeling is that Kim is a smug bastard who needs several legal punches to each of his chins. And while I may not like the IP system as it stands, in this case I suspect it's in the right. But I guess you're right...

    Kim Dotcom Search Warrant Ruled Legal By Appeals Court

    I was always under the impression that defendants (or their lawyers, at least) have to be made aware of what evidence the prosecution has accrued against them? Surely "They wouldn't even tell me what they had against me" would be evidence enough to make any trial be seen as a mistrial. Is...

    Quantum Mechanics May Be Proven by Distant Quasars

    I'm just confused as to what they are actually proving here. Quantum physics exists, scientists and engineers use it all the time. There are a half-dozen scientific apparati which measure quantum effects and could only work if quantum physics is a real thing.
