    Zero Punctuation: Enemy Front & Valiant Hearts: The Great War

    Lol Yahtzee, stick to the videogames "mate". Your grasp of American politics is tenuous at best.

    Finnish Hearthstone Tournament Changes Policy on Women - Update

    This makes me wish I could actually be bothered to watch other people play competitive video games in the first place, just so that I could boycott them. Alas.

    Evolve, No Man's Sky Take Top E3 Game Critics Honors

    Does anyone else think that this whole business of giving "awards" for games that aren't even out yet (and possibly haven't even been played at all) is dumb as hell?

    Get a First Look at Mad Max: Fury Road

    Maybe Hollywood has left me cynical, so I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade, but I just can't bring myself to believe that this movie is going to do anything but suck.

    Gary Oldman Slams "Political Correctness," Calls Dark Knight Movies "Work"

    I know this may be hard for people to wrap their heads around, but there are, in fact, parts of this country where liberalism has become so entrenched that it has devolved into its own kind of conservatism - dogmatic, self-justified, and intolerant/dismissive of anyone who fails to tow the party...

    Ubisoft: Straighter. Whiter. Duder.

    Tangential but relevant question: So, is this co-op mode in AssCreed Unity available in the open world, or is it a self contained gameplay module? I've long thought full-on sandbox multiplayer would be fun in AC, but if you have to get there through the menu, or only in specific world locations...

    Watch Dogs PC Modders Find Hidden "E3" Settings, Improve Performance - Update

    Dare I hope to see an Emergency Jimquisition on this? It's so ridiculous, I don't really even know what there is to say on the subject. I just want to nod my head in catharsis while he rants.

    New Plastic Made from Shrimp Fertilizes Soil As It Degrades

    This is a really cool idea, and something I've been hoping to see for awhile. If I understand correctly, the primary application for this technology would probably be agricultural. Awhile back, I spent some time working on an organic farm. One of the things that constituted a big pain and...

    Evolve Community Mgr Fired After Tweet on Donald Sterling - Update

    I'm sure the guy is a terrible, terrible human being, but again (please actually read what I said before jumping to disagree with it) that's not really the point of what I am saying, or, I think, why this Evolve guy had something to say about it. Someone who takes issue with what's going on...

    Evolve Community Mgr Fired After Tweet on Donald Sterling - Update

    I bet that what this PR guy saw was a lot of people using current events as an excuse to scapegoat some rotten old fool for all racism and classism ever. Sure, the only thing old Americans love more than ignorance is voting, and that sucks and should be resisted so that when the Not-So-Greatest...

    Escape to the Movies: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - The Movie That Broke MovieBob

    I will join your movie trauma support group, Movie Bob. I sympathize with that feeling described right at the start of the video... the feeling of something you love being indelibly associated with something you hate. Spidey was my childhood favorite too, and I've been carrying this bitterness...

    Jimquisition: The Unholy Trinity Of Blind Greedy Bastards

    Good episode, Jim. I like it when the criticism is well balanced with humor, and when you don't rant at us in the second person too much. I genuinely laughed out loud at "Fake Geek Guy". :-) Good times.

    Titanfall's 15 Maps Leaked, Complete With Detailed Top-Down Screenshots

    Forgive me for being an OCD nerd, but I can't help but notice that in the 3rd map image (the one of the airfield), most of the pictures point to the wrong spots on the map. Some marketing intern at Respawn fell asleep on the job! :-P

    Respawn Denies Paying Bribes For Positive Titanfall Coverage

    Well said! I was deeply pleased by this level-headed, common sense response. Particularly the cautious optimism of your coda at the end there. There is definitely an issue with integrity out there in the wide world of the internet, especially with games journalism (as there always is in such...

    Google Says "Don't Be a Glasshole"

    Reminds me of "gargoyles" from Snow Crash. Nobody liked those guys, either.
