What's funny about The Witcher especially is that in the books, Geralt is pretty much just this over-idealistic bloke with a hero complex. He is also a bit of a hypocrite, always claims that he's politically neutral even though this proves to be impossible time and time again. He always tries to...

The thing about Parov Stelar is that every album he makes is completely different. For example, in Coco, he added a bit of a hip-hop feel to it; The Princess was more focused on vocals; That Swing emphasized the 'electro' part of 'electro-swing'. You might consider going through more of his...

Hard to see it as a downgrade for me. They had to change the entire rendering system to make the thing work in the open world. They didn't make the graphics worse, they made them different. Thing is, they made a reasoned choice to switch to a system that works better with the majority of the...

Ooooh, does that mean we get Watillas now? Do I get to buy my very own Wonkers?

Interesting view. I personally don't see the need to be able to identify with the protagonist though. I have been hoping for more games with actual monsters in lead roles to be honest. That said, hatred is just plain unappealing to me. The violence does not have a purpose. It is not proving a...

or you can just go with Exploration-based platformers. You can even abbreviate that to EBP. That works, right?

The ambient music could actually do with being a bit higher in volume, it's barely there as it is. Not by much though, just a slight bump. The main issue is uneven volume on voices. Some are barely audible and others are ear-shatteringly loud. I found myself constantly adjusting volume as I was...

Not a fan of the art style. At all. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to dumb it down a bit, cut back on detail and work on quality. Writing is actually pretty decent, there were a couple almost Archer-esque moments. Not an amazing start but there's potential. Keep at it. Oh, right. And sound quality /...

Nah, they're kind of adorable. Even the doll (the local version of the maiden type thing that does all the upgrading for you) points that out. And you can outfit them with silly little hats. I almost wish I was kidding.

I remember dragging one around with me when I was a kid. It ate 4 AA batteries within a couple hours, I had to drag around a folder with all my CDs if I didn't want to keep listening to the same album over and over and when the clasp holding the top cover closed inevitably broke, I had to use a...

Far as I'm aware the restrictions have always been imposed on CERTAIN regions and only some games are restricted. Russia is an example - most games are less than half their RRP in Russia because of how much of a thing piracy is over there. However, those games are also region locked. There is a...

where's Forrest Gump? I vaguely remember that making me tear up in the most uncomfortable way. Although that's more of an 'everyone you ever loved (including your mom) dies' kind of a film.

you mean the colours of the inevitable Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green re-remakes? I always thought the latter would be called Nursing Home Fire Red. ... I wonder if they adjust the colours based on our expressed opinion of what the colours are or it's just random. I don't remember it being...

Yeah well, optical illusion or not, regardless of what the dress looks like IRL, the actual colours of the actual pixels on this very specific picture are muddy gold and light blue. Specifically, 7d6d4b gold and 9babd0 light blue in hexadecimal (in the brightest patches). The colour picker does...

I tend to be wary when people start calling for complete abolishment of certain things, even if there is nothing inherently wrong with the thing they are trying to get rid of. It's been happening a lot in professional circles lately. Like when Totalbiscuit recently went on about day 1 DLC never...
