    Character Names

    As a programmer, I feel almost compelled to provide my input on the subject of voice synthesis. If anyone more experienced finds any misinformation, please correct me as I don't have any direct experience working with speech synthesis software. I am providing an engineers outside perspective on...

    The "Autism family": Is this acceptable?

    Why is octomom coming to mind here? Oh wait, right, because I'm willing to bet she wants to milk the fuck out of the system. Sterilize both parents.

    Bosses/Enemies/Puzzles that Made You Want to Stab Your Screen

    I hear you. Although it's not the multiple forms that are annoying so much as the huge amounts of dialogue and script that accompany them. If the game let you skip all that, then it's not so bad. Kind of like a gauntlet boss where you have to manage your resources wisely. As much as I despise...

    Bosses/Enemies/Puzzles that Made You Want to Stab Your Screen

    We've all encountered them. Those cheap ass motherfuckers who let you drain them down to something like 30 life and then pull some super move out of their ass that basically rapes your entire party. Or that one-key-two-doors puzzle that indie devs love to torture you with. Or maybe you ran into...

    Attacks in games that made you go WTF BOOM

    Can't say much about going WTF, but the Brother's "Mad Cow Special" (Sacred and Minotaur) from Final Fantasy VIII made me cuss them out something fierce, as did half the boss battles in the early Final Fantasy games. You know, the ones that are actually worth playing. Also, your misuse of...

    Zero Punctuation: The Conduit

    The thing I don't get is why in the fuck don't developers have the remote compliment the analog stick when it comes to turning!? Metriod did it opretty damn well from what I saw. And my god... Disney is going to destroy PoP. I have no hope for humanity anymore.

    Ormick Reviews: Air Rivals

    The fix is very easy if you run vista. Just run it under compatibility mode for XP. Right click the shortcut, click properties, and look for the "Compatibility" tab.

    Ormick Reviews: Air Rivals

    Here's a simple recipie for you. Take the best/worst aspects of any mainstream MMO such as World of Warcraft and mix them in with the fast paced gameplay of a game like Ikaruga or Starfox (minus the furries). Next, throw in a heaping cup of Mech Warrior level customization, and a pinch of...

    Valve Responds to Racism Accusations

    Stupidity this astounding doesn't even warrant a response. Best to completely obliterate this retards argument before it has time to spread (even though inevitably some other moron is going to jump on the bandwagon). Leave that to the modders, and I'd think a better insult would be...

    Poll: EA being friendly?

    I hate EA because they get such great ideas, but their policies (ludicrous deadlines, numerous self-defeating layoffs) tear any redeeming qualities their games MIGHT have had to shreds. They then proceed to defecate on said shreds while having a hot wank. That is why I hate EA.

    Poll: EA being friendly?

    Ever heard of games that are bland shit? EA is behind most of them. Anyway, after hearing about EA picking up Brutal Legend, I have abandoned hope. We all know what happens to studios that EA takes interest in. If the words "Milked fucking dry." don't spring to your mind, then you need to get...

    Does New Korean Game Rip Off Team Fortress 2?

    To be frank, it seems like they are just taking almost too much inspiration from TF2. Valve doesn't own class-based-team-shooters, granted, but at the same time, the similarities in the released media are too great to ignore. From the looks of the final clip shown, it seems to be a third person...
