    Here we go again: Anita Sarkeesian and the gaming community

    This is stupid. I don't care about femenism, I don't care about Sarkeesian and her lies. What I hate is having any kind of outside "consultant" get in the way of game design. Let the makers at DICE do their jobs and make the game they want to make. Why should any outside influence get in the...

    Is it time for feminists to step off our hobby?

    Femenists should spend less time complaining about games and actually make something themselves. Clearly if there's so many of them there would be a decent market right? They get lots of followers on their blog posts and videos so there should be enough to sell games to. Just go make their...

    #GamerGate Needs Damage Control Badly (Small OP Update)

    Five guys, burgers and fries. I don't care about personal relationships but when you use them to promote your game, get favorable reviews and shut down game jams so you can start your own (read: scam) yeah that's not going to sit well with people. If all you have to do is have sex with...

    The Game Crash of 2013?

    I'm by no means an expert but isn't gaming a lot bigger and a lot more diverse than it was in 1983? Today there's many different markets, different business models and different ways of playing games. If one game market has a crash, I don't see others following suit. If the console market has...

    Bradley manning, hero or villian?

    We were always at war with East Asia... Apart from endless wars, warrant-less wiretapping and the state of our education system it's as if George Orwell was predicting the future when he wrote 1984. That book was supposed to be a warning, not a guide. Look if you want to convict Bradley...

    Games You'd Like To Be Made?

    A Han Solo game. One where you're playing as Solo before A New Hope, being a smuggler and getting caught up in all kinds of illegal activities. Made by Rockstar. (Yeah with EA exclusivity deal? Not happening) An ARTS/MOBA game like Dota or LoL but with anime characters. Would be a licencing...

    Consoles Are Holding Gaming Back

    Consoles have been holding gaming back for a long time now. I'm not talking about graphics or other technical aspects but I mean entire genres. I miss space sims, the abundance of RTS games, adventure games and isometric RPG's. Yes many of those genres are coming back from crowd funding but...

    What makes you a "HardCore" gamer

    I consider myself to be hardcore because I play niche games over the mainstream AAA games. I'm not afraid to dig in and explore mods. I'd rather put my money down for a game at Kickstarter than GameStop. I'm willing to do research and find games that suit my tastes and look for ones that offer...

    Nintendo E3 a little underwhelming

    All I wanted to see is the next Super Smash Bros. That's what I got. That's the game that will get me to buy a Wii U. Also I really like how the Wind Waker is looking in HD. The Wind Waker is one of my favourite games ever and I'd love to revisit it in true widescreen and 1080p. Seeing...

    Poll: Which game series has the most devoted (and/or fanatical) fan base?

    Sonic. Even though Sonic had terrible games released year after year, Sonic fans kept on buying them for some reason. The only reason why Sonic is still alive is because it still continues to make money, regardless of the quality in the games. So I'd have to say Sonic fans are the most dedicated.

    The most awesome games that will likely never happen.

    Been a Bounty Hunter since the beginning of the crowd funding campaign. :)

    RUMOR: Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty Land (+Other XBone Titles)

    Halo 5, another Halo, Forza, Dead Rising, Banjo and Fable. Sounds about right. Looks neat I guess? Not a whole lot that would get me excited. Curious to see if anyone would think those games would be system sellers.

    I do not understand.

    She lost all credibility when she doesn't allow for any criticism of her work. Yeah there are jerks out there who will say the most vile things because she's standing up for equality. It's the internet, it'll happen regardless of where you stand. I think what gets to me most is that she...

    Is Gamestop really to blame ?

    You can't just pin the blame on one party. I'd say that everyone involved has contributed to the problem revolving around used games. Publishers, retailers and consumers are all responsible. I personally don't like used games. I like having something new. I don't like buying a box that's been...
