    Poll: Do you think Star Wars VII will be a good movie?

    I have it on very good authority from people whose taste and expertise in the field of what makes a good film I trust that it will be everything we've dreamed of and more. So yes, I do and I'm excited as heck.

    Smaller Devs Abused By Steam's "No Questions Asked" Refund Policy

    What the hell is wrong with some people (i.e. the ones going 'so what?') on this forum? Because a game doesn't take long to complete or doesn't have replay value, then people are somehow justified in shilling a game dev of 2 bucks? TWO DOLLARS. You're willing to steal (yes, steal, you got the...

    League of Legends

    Personally I'm cautiously optimistic about him, nothing in his kit seems inherently overpowered, which, no offence to Keoul and your ambitious hopes for his R, I was very afraid of when the initial teasers kept making vague allusions to turning back time which if not handled carefully could have...

    Poll: Toilet Paper: Which direction?

    And there was me coming in ready for a grand old discussion on the orientation of my wiping. So, grisly expectations aside, that's definitely a B for me. You want it free-standing rather than rubbing up against the wall where it's harder to grab and more likely to accumulate muck.

    Hotline Miami 2 Refused Classification in Australia - Update

    On topic: It's a sad day for humanity when grown adults take it upon themselves to decide what entertainment content other grown adults should be allowed to experience. Off topic: Laughing my ass off at the fact that an official statement by video game professionals should include the phrase...

    The Year in Cosplay: Our 100 Favorites From 2014 (Part One)

    Seconded, the Escapist always has such interesting picture articles and I always get about 5 clicks in before the sheer awfulness of their presentation makes me close the window. Take a look at cracked, guys. 5-10 pictures per page, max 3-5 pages per picture article. Makes viewing them enjoyable...

    Star Wars' "Black Stormtrooper" to Critics: "Get Used to it"

    I'm disappointed on two levels... One by the fact that there are people out there who took issue with the casting, since as others have pointed out the Empire is anti-alien and therefore species-ist (its that a word?) rather than racist. Stop finding excuses to discriminate! On a less...

    Poll: Obscene usernames

    I've called myself 'A Big Poo' in a certain moba, and the sheer unwittiness and childishness of it still makes me snigger everytime I see it. I voted 'Yes, and still do', although it would be more accurate to qualify that by saying in general I use non-profane/silly usernames and une grande...

    Did HBO Drop A Major Spoiler with The Latest Game of Thrones Casting News?

    Except he's stated emphatically in interviews that he has no desire to replicate a 'Lost' ending where his story deviates too far from what fans have come to expect and want. Since I'm pretty sure there isn't a fan out there who doesn't want and expect Jon Snow to live on in some way, shape or...

    Isn't "Brand Confusion" getting out of hand?

    This exactly! Intellectual property just isn't a concept at all in China, and there's pretty much bugger all western corporations can do brand-enforcement wise. Probably why they're so backed up and feel the need to spunk lawsuits and cease and desists at each other. OT: I do agree the...

    Academical woes and depressing administrative events :( (Cheer me up :P)

    We had campus security confiscate our hookah once, which had a silver lining in that they actually had no authority to do so and my lawyer housemate totally served them with their own guidelines which they hadn't bothered to read properly. So we got it back eventually. But there were some...

    White House's Pokemon Intruder Wanted To Meet The President

    That was my thought too, but of course it would only encourage copycats looking to get a similar favour. On a side note, I think it speaks volumes about the inadequacy of American mental care that this situation arose... a mentally ill person seeking treatment is met with sarcasm and...

    Play as a Great White Shark in Multiplayer Game Depth

    I like the concept but that gameplay looks way too fast-paced, I'm guessing that was really speeded up? If not then it looks like it'd be more frustrating than fun...

    Resident Evil: The Final Chapter Postponed

    I don't really care for the Resident Evil movies at all, so for me personally it's good news there won't be another for the time being. But it's bad news for the studio, the investors, the cast of actors and stunt extras, to say nothing of the crew... they're all losing out, and heads would...

    Madden Season Drives Kevin Hart and Dave Franco Slightly Crazy - Update

    As others have said, the celebrity content of the advert was bizarrely-paced with way over the top sight gags and a displeasing mishmash of audio styles. But what really bugged me was how bad the brief snatches of gameplay looked... character models looking awkward trying to occupy the same...
