    Pokemon GO Update Improves Gym Functionality

    Well if I'm remembering the episode correctly team Instinct had the least to do with causing a bus crash, that seems like a moral high ground right?

    How To **** Up Your Life: A Simple Guide

    look Dude, I get you're upset about your rug and all. But you need to look at the bigger picture. Zontar clearly waltzed in and ruined a vietnamese rug that tied the whole country together. You could just be sitting at home with pee stains on your rug but they don't have that luxury. The...

    Look Out Wallets - The GOG Summer Sale Has Begun

    The main difference between 2 and 3 is that 3 is an open world game, so theres a lot more exploration and you can tackle the main story as slow or as quick as you want. The combat is a little different but people seem to have vastly different opinions on whether its better or worse. So it plays...

    Upgradable Consoles are Just PCs for Peasants

    $200 seems pretty steep. Although we could be on completely different sides of the world for all I know (Im in AUS). My family still seems overly impressed in my ability to google computer problems.

    BioWare Confirms Mass Effect Andromeda Release Delayed to 2017

    Honestly I kind of think they're more likely to just ignore it and carry on as if nothing happened.

    Captain America: Civil War is Certified Fresh

    I enjoyed the movie for the most part, but a few technical things really stood out in a negative way. Although a part of it could have been because I was sitting fairly close to the front of the cinema. Basically the combination of constant shaky cam, extreme closeups during every fight and...

    Microsoft Confirms Closure of Lionhead Studios

    And honestly, the remaster didnt really add much. I found the UI even less intuitive on PC and half the characters were ripped straight from the uncanny valley. While I can't really say I'll miss what become of Fable, it is a shame Lionhead is closing because I loved Black and White.

    Doom Multiplayer Open Beta - Some Random Thoughts From Someone Who Just Doesn't Care Anymore

    I thought it was alright, serviceable but nothing spectacular. Everyone does feel a bit too tanky which definitely makes the weapons feel a lot worse. And I see your point about them feeling flat, even the gauss cannon doesn't really feel that exciting. Two things that stood out though, I...

    Drunken purchase time

    Only one off the top of my head was a Hitman absolution preorder. But Id been planning on it anyway since before it came out it looked pretty good, I wasn't particularly upset with the decision at the time. EDIT: Grammar

    EA is "on a Journey" to Regain PC Gamer Trust

    I still open it up every now and then because to give them some credit I have got a fair few older games for free by claiming them on Origin at the right time. I think I've got Red Alert 2, Jade Empire, Dragon Age Origins and Populous that way. Honestly I hated origin at first but its become a...

    Greetings and Introductions

    I'm not sure that covers it. "Wait really I can't beli- shit. It was taco news" has happened more times than I'd care to admit.

    Will DRM Finally Beat Piracy? Notorious Cracking Forum Says Yes

    I think your assumption there is absolutely ridiculous. Torrenting something doesn't take effort, if someone is even remotely curious about a game they don't immediately want to buy they can press a few buttons then play it hours or days later, depending on their net and the game in question...

    Personal Game Rules

    I generally come up with different rules for each play through, the only game I think I've consistently had the same rule would be Deus Ex. Always take the gep gun, its foolish not to. Also http://www.scenariogenerator.net/ is pretty fun for determining rules for rpgs, 4x games etc.

    Just Cause 3 Multiplayer Mod in Development

    After being fairly out of the loop for the entire Just Cause series, but hearing just how good the multiplayer mod for 2 was, I pretty much decided I wouldn't get 3 until this mod came out. Once its done I might check the game out, and hopefully the performance issues will be fixed by then.
