    Mass Effect Writer Reveals Discarded Ending Ideas

    No, on it's merits as a story, even from a purely objective standpoint, when looking at how well it holds up to what it promises it's audience and upholds the themes of it's story is what makes it a turd. The part where the game's ending is hamfisted out of the "beginner's fanfiction" playbook...

    Mass Effect Writer Reveals Discarded Ending Ideas

    Yes, I know about that ending and frankly I don't really care. The Mass Effect Trilogy was billed as exactly that, a trilogy. It deserved a trilogy ending, a real one, not just a "hey, see look what we snuck in at the end if you played multiplayer a ton, ending". It needed a real one. When a...

    Mass Effect Writer Reveals Discarded Ending Ideas

    The truth is ME3's ending would have been fine if they just let you pull out a victory there at the end, no "better" endings but "hey you still gotta die" in an attempt to be edgy, just a solid victory snatch. Everyone would have gone home happy and the themes of the entire series wouldn't have...

    Microsoft Drops Xbox One DRM Restrictions - UPDATED

    You spin me right round, baby, right round. Like a hurricane when we go...*cough* Anyway, so the Xbone has pulled a 180, but I'm still concerned that it'll manage a full 360 and we'll end back up right where we started in a few months. Basically, they say: oh we're going back...until after...

    Microsoft's Yusuf Mehdi: We Need To Educate Consumers

    That's pretty much what I was going to say, this feels like a reverse of the last console cycle. I bought a 360 then because it was cheaper and I had some loyalty to Microsoft and Xbox. This whole thing just makes me giggle. It's like...did you guys learn nothing from Sony's massive screw up the...

    On Rape Jokes and Sensitivity

    1 in 6 women will be raped within their lifetime. That's the official U.S. statistic by the way based on rapes that have actually been reported in the U.S., it does not cover the ones that have gone unreported. The likelihood is that it's lower than that, possibly as low as 1 in 4. In the...

    Xbox One Games Will Still be Playable When Servers Shut Down

    They seem to think that if they dig hard enough, fast enough, they'll reach China.

    Warhammer 40K's story, how is it even remotely appealing?

    Hmm, Bioware fan? If my Professors while I was getting my English Degree knew I was spending any time around Bioware during my time in college (if they knew who that was), I'd have been taken out behind the woodshed. Bioware breaks countless of those rules, Mass Effect alone does and it's...

    Oh, Cartoon Network

    The weird part about Young Justice is that it's their highest rated show, or the show that gets the highest ratings out of any of the others on the network. The problem, of course, is that most people tune in just to watch the DC Nation block and nothing else. Network executives hate...

    Project Eternity Breaks $3 million

    Well, at the time of my posting this they closed out at 3,986,929 on Kickstarter, if that's not counting their Paypal, then I do believe they just broke 4 million, well done Obsidian, well done.

    BioWare Loses Another Key Player

    Quick! All hands to the lifeboats! But in all seriousness, it doesn't look good for them. Hopefully, the fleeing survivors will manage to pull together another company, join Kickstarter, and have good job prospects as they look towards the future.

    Relationship age gaps?

    Personally, this is one of those questions where there is no right answer. People are attracted to different things, some people fall in love with those much older and those much younger than them, some can make it work, some can't. My only issue is the power dynamic (though age isn't the only...

    China riots, island tensions and the UN -updated

    The irony of course here, on the subject of Mexico, is that Mexican Military Forces do invade the United States on a regular basis. They have shot and killed members of the Border Patrol while transporting drug shipments for the Cartels. If the U.S.A wanted to go to war with Mexico, we have a...

    Superman gets too much shit (And underrated heroes in general)

    This is mostly the reason why I've never been able to get into Superman, the rules for him change at a moment's notice depending on the setting and on the writer. Particularly, his weakness to magic. After all, Wonder Woman's powers are derived from magic (her armor and lasso). She should be...

    Lets talk about Girls that play video games

    Let's not? Seriously, it's better for everyone. I often reveal my gender when gaming because I don't like to lie or pretend to be something I'm not. I'm not a man, I'm a woman and I shouldn't have to pretend because it makes someone else more comfortable. I like to think that friendship...
