    Knightfail

    The point we're all missing is, and i cannot speak for everybody (especially contrarian assholes who will just disagree anyway), but while we were watching this movie? literally none of these flaws mattered. That's one of Nolan's greatest strengths as a director: his ability to sweep you along...

    Gearbox Wonders Why People Aren't Ripping Off Borderlands

    this is like when ken Levine came out and was like "HEY HOW COME EVERYONE'S TALKING ABOUT THE GIRLS BOOBS IN BIOSHOCK INFINITE" and everyone was just kind of like "we... weren't, really...?" "SHE'S A WHOLE PERSON YOU GUYS STOP TALKING ABOUT HER BIG OL BOOBS" ugh. attention. they want it.

    The R Word

    Idk about everyone else but for me the takeaway here (and from nearly everything i read about this issue) is that Xbox live - or even online play in general - is the worst thing that ever happened to videogames. I have without exaggeration never, ever once actually enjoyed playing a videogame...

    Max Payne 3 Review

    frankly if I hadn't enjoyed the script so much I wouldn't have played this game for more than a night. the gameplay never, ever changes. The only thing that makes this remarkable at all is how good James McCaffrey is as Max himself.

    LoadingReadyRun: Punctu-action

    wheels started to come off near the end there but that was a strong premise. actually based on the description plus Graham's question mark shirt I thought they were supposed to be "personifying" punctuation. so for the first couple of Matt's lines I thought was was supposed to literally "be"...

    Poll: Will you stick with the Mass Effect series after ME 3?

    I mean, this is an entire universe they've created. there are a million stories left to be told. could they be as compelling as "sentient machines will destroy EVERYTHING unless you stop them"? maybe not, but I think they are stories worth exploring nonetheless.

    The Great Futurama Debate: Saddest Episode Ever!!!

    I don't think there's any way to quantify how much sadder one episode is from the other. But that's not going to stop me from trying! "Farewell, from the World of Tomorrow!" was a line that certainly choked me up, but The Sting was, more than anything else, a mindfuck. I remember audibly...

    Here;s Skyrim's biggest flaw (In my opinion anyway)

    My only real problem with Skyrim (and this goes for the rest of the TES games as well) is that I never actually role-play. I just go in and do everything. Having a character who winds up Arch-Mage of the College of Winterhold, the savior of the Thieves Guild, a high-ranking assassin, a...

    Calling all single people, what are you doing to survive the 14th?

    believe it or not, I've got a date! I just have to help her move first. it shouldn't be that hard, either; Her new place is My Liver, and right now she lives at The Bottom of a Bottle of Scotch. Should probably only take a couple hours!

    How much would it take to make you give up gaming completely?

    honestly, I'm like one crappy paycheck away from pawning all my gaming paraphernalia. I love games to death, but its becoming increasingly apparent that this is not a sustainable hobby for the poor man.

    How do I not suck at Metal Gear Solid?

    Corners, corners, corners. The corner peek-out is the most valuable skill to have in MGS2. Not just for finding the radar terminal, but for memorizing patrol patterns as well. I actually started sketching layouts of rooms on the Big Shell. Barring that, no one would think any less of you for...

    Your take on the game Catherine?

    Catherine was so good that I actually caught myself throughout the day going, "Oh man, what am I gonna do?" before realizing that I wasn't actually two-timing my girlfriend. That was when I knew that it was something special. I recommend the game to everyone who comes to my store asking for...

    What did you name your Skyrim character?

    Do I suck for naming my Nord Dovahkiin? It seemed like a cop-out, that is until I realized it was the only option if you wanted characters to actually call you by your name. All I know is, after the tutorial dragon slaying, when the ground shakes and from all directions you hear a...

    The Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Demo And Stupid Gameplay Mechanics

    The entire thing seems like a conglomeration of Dragon Age-style presentation & NPC interaction and Fable-esque aesthetics & combat. The demo was compelling enough to keep me playing for a while, though I don't think the game is worth throwing down $65. Then again like, no game is actually worth...
