    If You Could Rewrite a Game Ending...

    There's this spot on the ground. There used to be a horse there. No one is quite sure where it went, but the most popular theory was that it was beat into the dirt so much, that nothing remained. I will now hit that dirt with a stick. Mass Effect 3: "Shepard! We successfully completed that...

    'Trashy' films you enjoy watching

    I'm not really sure what qualifies as trashy, but I love dumb low-budget action movies. Just a couple weeks ago, I watched a direct to DVD Steve Austin and Steven Seagal movie. Everything about it was bad, but I enjoyed it.

    Have people grown bored with zero puncutaion

    I still like watching zero punctuation. But I was curious as to its declining popularity, so I used Google Trends to track the search interest of the term "Zero Punctuation" See for yourself. http://i.imgur.com/CFBoGrc.png It's not a perfect measure of the show's popularity, but as far as I...

    Are you boycotting any companies?

    EA right now, but that's only because of Origin. It's not a form of protest, I just don't like using Origin. Put it on Steam. Then I'll buy it.

    Name your child!

    I like the name Sydney. But that's all I have. Maybe my future spouse will be more creative. All I know is that if I have a son, he will not be Forrest Jr. I still get crap for that name.

    Most well-written game romance?

    I liked the Tali and Garrus romances. Garrus and Tali have both been with Shepard from the start and both have made their sacrifices. I like the idea of the relationship coming from working through hardships together. Yes, there were other romances, but it didn't really feel the same with other...

    Poll: Chick-fil-a owner admits to anti-gay views

    I already knew that was their view on gay marriage. I just don't care. It doesn't affect the food, and they don't have enough influence to make an impact on the issue. If there is ever a vote in congress on gay marriage, I doubt the opposition would say, "Well I would support gay marraige, but...

    EA Defends Origin From Hardcore Crowd

    I only used Origin for Mass Effect 3. Once I was done with that, It's just been inactive. Outside of a couple games that I don't really care about that much, Origin has zero advantage. Steam has good service, good price, large selection, decent social interaction, and it continues to innovate.

    Idiocracy and Fight Club. They're not deep, they're not clever, they're just stupid.

    Cast Your Vote for the Greatest Game in Escapist History

    I'm guessing there's going to be some drama over the losers. It seems every time the Escapist does its developer showdown, the forums are full of butthurt fans. It should be fun, I love internet drama.

    Books you finished and just thought: "Well...that was shit"

    Maximum Ride: The Final Warning. It's the fourth in the Maximum Ride series which were for the most part pretty good, although the science was a bit strange at times. I won't go into detail, but the book is about the main characters having nothing to do, so they go to Antarctica, play with...

    What is your favorite TV show currently on the air?

    Top Gear and My Little Pony Top Gear because it's funny and it allows me to appreciate nice cars without actually knowing anything about cars My Little Pony because I'm a man. A manly man. A manly man who does manly things.

    Poll: Will you stop buying Bioware?

    The only series they had that I cared about was Mass Effect, so probably not. That really depends on what Bioware does regarding the ending.

    It turns out Bioware doesn't hate you all

    Hudson has an amazing talent for writing 500 words that say absolutely nothing.
