    Shadow of Mordor is Nothing But Infantile Revenge Porn

    The Silmarillion is a book of myths and legends of Middle Earth, not a history. It is no more a 'factual record' of Middle Earth than stories of Odin and Thor flinging lightning around are factual accounts of the history of Northern Europe. Mention was also made of "earlier battles" which...

    The Big Picture: Leave Michael Bay Alone

    Plenty of us have been saying exactly that for years. It is also the same problem in the game industry. And the comic industry. And every other media industry. And society as a whole. And when we do, people like Bob tell us to fuck off. Until they produce a video doing exactly the same thing...

    Feed Dump: There's Free Weed In Vancouver Now

    No screens on windows == easy insect infiltration == infestations == spread of both insects and disease to the rest of the neighbourhood.

    Shovel Knight Review - Digging For Trouble

    Those "medusa heads" are super tricky. Until you get, in the second/third stage, a sub-weapon which, when used in the air or on the ground, makes you temporarily invincible and then, in the fourth stage, learn to use it through a series of challenges expressly designed to teach you how to time...

    Jimquisition: Ubisoft - A Sad History of PC Failures

    The XBOne and PS4 versions still use UPlay, and it is still subject to the same server issues. Yet not one fucking review has mentioned this.

    The Historical Case for Playable Women in Assassin's Creed: Unity

    This. The fourteen-millionth time you're told you're responsible for every single bad thing that has ever happened in the world, in all of human history, you start to feel a bit resentful about it. Especially when you've spent your entire (political) life voting to keep the people trying to deny...

    The Exorcism in Indiana - What in the Hell Happened?

    This is a cute story right up until you realise these people will, and have, murder their children.

    PlayStation TV: Like Having a Second PS4 Anywhere

    The PSTV is almost literally nothing like having a second PS4. If anyone is using your "first" PS4 for anything whatsoever, you can't stream to the PSTV. I don't have a big opinion on the PSTV (All it is, is a Vita with no screen and independent controller), but explicitly wanted to call out...

    Magic 2015 - Duels of the Planeswalkers Deck Building Hands-On

    Soon, they'll have reached the same level of game Microprose released 20 years ago. And it will only have about 1/3rd the number of cards.

    Escape to the Movies: Edge of Tomorrow - Tom Cruise Is Cool Again

    It is when they're continuing to donate millions, every single year, while documented abuses continue and the organisation not only refuses to acknowledge their culpability, but actively attempts to cover up all incidents, and blackmails any individual or organisation which reveals these...

    Escape to the Movies: Edge of Tomorrow - Tom Cruise Is Cool Again

    Tom Cruise gives millions each year to an organisation known primarily for murdering people and allowing unchecked sexual assaults. But yeah, I guess he's "cool."

    Jimquisition: Air Control - A Steam Abuse Story

    And the issue is that it *doesn't fucking matter* which version was reviewed at the end of the day, it doesn't excuse releasing broken garbage and charging $60 for it, but the only site that has actually covered their broken shit is RockPaperShotgun which, conveniently, is the only site that...

    Jimquisition: Air Control - A Steam Abuse Story

    Watch_Dogs doesn't launch for many people. Some were banned from UPlay for "too many attempts" to activate because keys would not work. To this day, multiplayer will not work for many PC and XBOne users. It was intentionally broken, by the developer, on AMD PC hardware. "4.5/5" -Jim Sterling

    Jimquisition: The FarCry Racism Adventure

    "white" is shorthand for "Western-European." "Black" is shorthand for "African" And no, race has not "largely been debunked and discarded in scientific circles." Your race is vitally important in determining your chance of being afflicted with certain specific medical conditions, including...

    Jimquisition: The FarCry Racism Adventure

    There are many people who "look white" but aren't, especially in Asian countries where plastic surgery is relatively common, but also plenty of people with "obviously" black parents. Only racists would assume you can tell someone's race immediately, at all times, by their physical...
