-Internet Glitch Double Post: Disregard-

Oh, but you can most definitely be certain they are. If it exists in a Saints Row game other than the first one... it's being mocked or criticized in some fashion. Which is great, because even its mockery and criticism is taken with a mocking, critical tone. It doesn't take itself seriously...

I really do hope you meant "Breeding* tool"... because any kind of bread made with Ditto would be impossible to use. I mean, how could you ever hope to make a tasty sandwich with it when suddenly it goes from being Whole Wheat to Pumpernickel? There'd be no way to properly accentuate your...

The only thing I don't understand is who the dude with the big honkin nose is and why he's in my suit of power armor.

So, on the one side, we have a bunch of idiots who can't figure out that they didn't include Rey because they didn't want to give away the whole 'She's the Jedi of this movie' thing and want to fight about how sexist monopoly has suddenly become. You know, because we had people actually...

I would answer this with Almalexia, from The Elder Scrolls III: Tribunal However, as it turns out, my character is already technically married to her. I mean, sure, there's a chance she participated in murdering and betraying me... twice... but with some very cool mods, I've become the fourth...

The original concepts of many things as we know and understand them today have been forever lost to time, in an unending linguistic game of Telephone in which the meanings of various words and the intentions behind them have been mistranslated, deliberately sabotaged, and in many cases simply...

You try to diminish the danger of this by implying that "It's unlikely EVERY word will be changed", but that is not and has never been the danger inherent to the purging of potentially inflammatory words. What we are at risk of losing is not merely a word, but the UTILITY of our language. Each...

Hey now, you're as qualified to be a film critic as the one we've got here. And frankly, you'd probably do me a helluva lot more good than Mr. 3-Out-of-5. I think I'm finally giving up. These reviews do me no good at all. I need a critic who can muster up enough feeling one way or the other...

Regardless of what forces might be at work behind the scenes, you're absolutely right about this being entirely the fault of Disney and their mindless endeavor to be portrayed as wholesome and pure. The reality, of course, is that these values no longer actually reflect the values of their...

You know, loathe as I am to admit it, at least there was one thing I could dependably rely on when it came to movie reviews around here. They were entertaining, and I always came away knowing roughly how I would feel about the movie for myself. I miss that. These new reviews just leave me...

The modding community surrounding Bethesda games is definitely a shitty one to cater to, especially given the 'accessibility' they've been shoveling out for the past three titles. Once upon a time, I really enjoyed the conversations I had with my fellows there... but the masses which have...

... this logic makes me weep for all of fiction, be it video-games or literature.

Destiny is such a goddamn bummer for me. I really, really wanted to love the game. I wanted to be excited by the concept behind it. I wanted to see what kind of magic they would whip up without the burden of Halo's expanding universe and lore. What did they do with their new freedom? They...

The story behind my avatar? Right. So. There's this guy named Gordon Freeman, and he's a scientist working as an assistant at the Black Mesa Anomalous Materials Division. He goes in to work one day, saying absolutely nothing to any of his co-workers or even his buddy Barney who works in...
