    Zero Punctuation: Axiom Verge & Stealth Inc 2

    Goodnight and good-bye Escapist, your terribly annoying ads shan't be missed but will forever remain in my memory as the single reason I considered installing an Adblocker. This is just the final sign that I need to leave this sinking ship of outdated business models and suspect HR. I'm sure...

    If vaccines are so good, why are Amiibos so hard to find?

    If vaccines are supposed to protect me from stuff why aren't I bulletproof?! Come on CDC, your vaccines obviously don't work because I'm not a super hero! We should all be super heroes because superheroes are good, well except for the ones that commit crimes. Like Superman, he is freakin'...

    Criticize games you enjoy

    Then I shall! Final Fantasy XI: The game is a masterpiece but I still have a series of criticisms. The characters aren't really built any differently than each other, by the end of the game I'm level 99 with every character (I enjoy grinding in RPGs, it is relaxing) but by about level 65 I...

    A Plethora of Content Producers Leave Channel Awesome

    I almost forgot about Jim! I'd go so far as to say it is a massive game changer and that a lot of similar sites are seeing the same effects as we did with Jim. I personally prefer the patreon system, well obviously, for the reasons you stated. It is going to be an interesting year for...

    A Plethora of Content Producers Leave Channel Awesome

    I feel mostly the same. I don't blame Lupa for being upset though, if her story is even half true it is pretty disheartening. I like Doug, not just the characters he plays and not even just his personality but what he represented. His site used to be a place of just pure creative joy with...

    A Plethora of Content Producers Leave Channel Awesome

    It is more the Phelous/Lupa side that left, Andy Dickman is also featured on their personal site so I'm assuming he left to show kinship. From what I can tell Lindsay was planning to leave on her own for numerous reasons. Not sure of those though, I'm not normally into site gossip unless it...

    A Plethora of Content Producers Leave Channel Awesome

    A lot of people are demanding that Doug Walker making a statement on the issue, even though he had little or nothing to do with the situation. More are accusing him of being some kind of complete asshole. It hasn't broken down into White Knights Vs More White Knights yet but it is starting to...

    A Plethora of Content Producers Leave Channel Awesome

    You know people here are lot more reasoned than the people over on the actual CA forum. They are all leaping to random conclusions and playing a very extended blame game with only one side's testimony. I'm actually kind of shocked because I came here for more snark than I'm seeing. I dunno...

    8 Video Games That Are Better Than The Movies They're Based On

    What?! The Warriors video game is better than the movie? That's it, it is time to throw down!!! Seriously though; the Warriors video is pretty darn good. It is great example of taking an existing universe and expanding upon it. The voice acting is pretty good, especially for the time...

    Doctor Who May Head Towards a Woman as the Doctor

    There are a few non canon female Doctors so why not a canon one? I think I might like to see that if not just to see how a woman might portray the character. She might even be able to bring a total fresh outlook to the series. I'm a very long time watcher of the series and this news doesn't...

    What would you do if every videogame franchise just ended?

    I dunno. I suppose I'd go living as normal I suppose. In fact maybe even a little happier, more hopeful even. The loss of all that established character, canon and universes would sting but the promise of newer creations to come would more than replace what I'd lost. I think I'd be happier...

    Dark Circle Comics Unveils Its First Three Books

    She just saw all the disgusting porn fans are going to draw and it blew her mind. OT: New blood into the comics market isn't a bad thing under any circumstance. I can't really back that up with evidence... But really new characters are kind of nice and I could see myself at least taking...

    Pillars of Eternity's Release Pushed Back to "Early 2015"

    As long as it doesn't have the performance issues of the latter I'd be super happy. I'm betting WL2 would have run fine on my old, weaker computer but my new box is light years ahead of its requirement and parsecs ahead of its recommended but it still lags and stutters. OT: I've been...

    6 Reasons the Left Behind Books Suck (And Why the Movie Might, Too)

    Argh... I have a friend that loves these books. He doesn't believe in actual Christianity anymore but instead in the fake system from a series of novels. I think it is a step in the right direction, since at least these were written in the last century and are classified properly as fiction...

    What was the most disapointing sand box game you played?

    I dunno pretty much anything to do with Crackdown? I guess, I was pretty disappointed with a lot about that game and the sandbox was no exception. I'm also not a fan of Watch(underscore because internet!!!)Dogs. I'm just disappointed with all of that game it had terrible optimization and a...
