    Jimquisition: EA & Ubisoft: A Cycle of Perpetration and Apology

    The more I delve into the bowels of the gaming industry, the more I am convinced that the PR for most of these companies is handled by some unholy fusion of Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Donald Trump, and a turnip. For shit's sake, I am a student of literary theory and I could do a better job of not...

    Reboots you actually like

    I played through Fallout 3 56 times. I sunk over a thousand hours into it. For a while, I literally got up, played Fallout for sixteen hours, and went back to sleep. A small minority of my friends thought I actually died. It pretty much flung my life down the toilet for a period of four months...

    The Fall of Competitive Gaming

    Another one. Another tournament organizer has officially gone off the deep end. Victorious Gaming responded to a post on reddit concerning their mods with downvote brigading and vote manipulation. Who did these people hire to do their PR? Donald Trump...

    Review One of Your Possessions

    My dog. Worst canine the world has ever seen. Pros. 1. Does decent damage if you throw it at a potential threat. 2. Handy for wiping puke from your mouth after an all night champagne bender. 3. Makes for a meh footrest. 4. Cuddly, but in a largely shite way. Cons. 1. Small. 2...

    Magic in oblivion and skyrim-Which was better for pure mages?

    Skyrim definitely has better magic. With the removal of Mysticism magic became a whole lot more streamlined, and is no longer a secondary skill. Overall, playing Skyrim with a pure mage character is buckets more difficult than say your average bonehead warrior, but also immensely rewarding. Not...

    Poll: How bad is your current backlog?

    I have one hundred games in my Steam library. Of those one hundred games, I probably installed forty or forty-five, and played maybe thirty. Help me.

    Warlords of Draenor Will Merge Auction Houses

    What I want to know is how they got from the topic of merging the Auction Houses together (something which should have been done a long time ago in my honest opinion, probably right after Mists of Pandaria went live) to slinging insults at each other and arguing over whether or not COD is an...

    Difficulty in Games

    The best way to adjust difficulty in games is from a comprehensive perspective. Don't make the AI's weapons inflict seventeen times the damage whilst simultaneously dropping the player's damage output to practically zero. Your A.I. will remain just as dumb, and it will cause the player little...

    Warlords of Draenor Will Merge Auction Houses

    What a trainwreck of a thread. Good golly.

    Aside from Gameplay, what's the second most important part of a game?

    Games function best as a whole, so every part of it is integral in it functioning properly. Of course, this amounts to various different things when you look across the whole spectrum of genres. In terms of something like massively multi-player shooters, that would of course be primarily...

    Space Games

    I'd thoroughly recommend Star Conflict. It's a f2p MMO by Gaijin Entertainment, the same people who brought you War Thunder. It's like World of Tanks RECYCLED IN SPACE. I played it with my brother and it's really very fun. It is kind of hard to get into, and you die a lot at first, but the...

    Have you ever tried something in real life you saw in a game and it turned out...

    Reloading an FN FAL airsoft using the technique shown in Modern Warfare 2, where you knock the empty magazine out using a new one. I just ended up dropping both magazines and looking exponentially less TACTICHUL than expected. As a result, a couple of guys from my squad spray-painted "OPER8...

    How do I get my PS3 controller to work for PC?

    So don't use Chrome and switch to the open-source goodness that is Firefox.

    Most frightening horror game you've ever played?

    I disagree completely with your post. The first three quarters of it are just personal taste, and I get that. I've been in one relationship, and it was with the spawn of Satan, and I was glad to get out of it. So I can very much relate with James Sunderland. But that's ad acta at the moment...

    Most frightening horror game you've ever played?

    I'll be looking into it, considering I've seen the screenshots and they look like something straight out of a Jounji Ito comic. Body horror is probably one of my favourite types of horror, right after psychological horror. Maybe I'll do a little user review on it too. Thanks a lot for the...
