    Convince me to replay Nier: Automata

    Well, the good news is, all the things you liked will be expanded upon in the next 2 playthroughs(yeah, you'll need to do 2 more to get the full story). The bad news is, aside from expanding on 2B's character and why she acts like she does, your concerns won't really be fixed either. That said...

    Why can't we like things without ruining it? Rick and Morty x McDonalds.

    McDonald's clearly fucked up. I don't think anyone is going to dispute that. But these people carry all the blame for how they chose to react, and a lot of people chose to react like massive wankers.

    A Skip Button for Boss Fights

    The whole "Prepare to Die" thing is mostly the result of the frankly weird marketing Dark Souls gets, seemingly born from the reputation it got in the community. But I'd argue that neither the marketing nor that reputation are actually representative of Dark Souls. The games always had plenty of...

    A Skip Button for Boss Fights

    It effectively is a button. What effort is there in pressing "Accept"? True, there's some risk due to the higher likelihood of being invaded, but the summons themselves mitigate that risk, not to mention most summons are found right outside a boss door, past which you can't be invaded. As for...

    A Skip Button for Boss Fights

    That's not a great example considering the Souls series has a variation on the skip button already: summons. Sure, how effective they are depends on the fight and the summons themselves, but generally they range between making the fight dramatically easier or outright breaking it. And that's...

    Best Martial Arts for blind people

    I'd imagine running away would always be your best option, so whichever martial art that helps with that.

    At what point did you know who the killer was in Heavy Rain? (*SPOILERS*)

    Considering the game almost directly lies to you when you're controlling the killer, I didn't figure it out until the game revealed it. Because why would I suspect the guy when I could see him thinking about how he wanted to catch the killer?

    All you have to do to be considered a cuckold now? Have a job....

    It stands for "Not in Education, Employment og Training". It's basically just a fancy word for a shut-in who does nothing with their life whatsoever. Yes, the idea that anyone would proudly declare themselves one is highly confusing. I'd say the videos are maybe supposed to be sarcastic, but at...

    Valve Wants to Bring Back Paid Mods

    So good to see that Valve is dedicated to their new business model: charge more, deliver less.

    Good games with awful/misleading marketing

    I always thought that the "OMG so hard!" reputation Dark Souls got was an extreme disservice to the actual game, not just because it was massively blown out of proportion, also because the game had much more to offer than difficulty. Apparently the marketing department disagreed...

    Properly villainous villains

    Sargeras doesn't really fit with the image of a cackling villain who's evil because he loves it. He's trying to burn the entire universe, sure, but he has a surprisingly legitimate cause to do so.

    Well, the Warcraft movie is a bit rubbish.

    He was still a massive Gary Stu in Cataclysm. I like Wacraft, but the writing just isn't very good.

    Your favourite RPG class

    Paladins or some equivalent. I like tanky characters, especially in MMOs, because being at the forefront and trading blows with your opponent just feels better for me. And paladin-esque characters are usually very tanky. Heavy armor, big shield, protective magic, and if that isn't enough, I'll...

    Guild Wars 2 Officially Goes Free-to-Play Today Ahead of New Expansion

    Honestly not that surprising, for a while now they've offered pre-orders for the expansion with the base game included for free.

    The Minion Races List: Help is needed

    How about pawns from Dragon's Dogma? Look, act and for the most part think like humans, but they don't have any true identity or will of their own and can't act unless they're serving a true human.
