    Jimquisition: Videogames Are Not Movies, Get Over It

    Movie Bob already did this, in a much better, deeper, balanced way on the Game Over Thinker in "A Response to Roger Elbert". You can check it out here: http://gameoverthinker.blogspot.com/2010/05/episode-35-response-to-roger-ebert.html This video was at least 3 minutes too long since...

    Daily Drop: Guava

    Is it too late to say it's papaya? I'm cashier, I see those every day... Definitely not guava. Would love to see an actual guava drop too though. Maybe star fruits? Passion fruits? Tropical fruit would be awesome :D

    Dragon Age 2 Lead Writer Blasts Homophobic Fan

    Resource, I could understand your logic. Representation? I'm sorry but most think in life are arguably geared toward straight white males. By your logic, the female option shouldn't be available either since there's less female gamers then male ones. Not to mention, you seem to forget that not...

    Dragon Age 2 Lead Writer Blasts Homophobic Fan

    If i go by your logic, then you and OP shouldn't be whining about the gay content. If so little games of that type are available then why not just take it as it is? That's what you are suggesting after all. I don't see how your statement backs up your point of view any more than mine. Let me...

    Dragon Age 2 Lead Writer Blasts Homophobic Fan

    Seeing the even bigger popularity of DND and MMO like WOW, it's not that much of a gamble to pull a Tradtional RPG. Sure they are doing it on a massive scale (some will argue that the quality is not present though). Players have plenty of trad RPG options (nowhere near as shooters mind you), now...

    Dragon Age 2 Lead Writer Blasts Homophobic Fan

    Not everyone reacts the same way. Some people just don't take rejection. At all. I mean how many stories about stalker/murderers have we heard? Someone being dumped by their spouse going bunkers? Or suicidal? You might personally have the maturity level to accept that a relationship can't ever...

    Dragon Age 2 Lead Writer Blasts Homophobic Fan

    More competitive economic environment? We're in a recession! The fact that they are in fact extending to the LGBT community is proof that they are trying to get as much money as they can. They most likely wouldn't bother otherwise, especially because of this kind of controversy. They know there...

    Dragon Age 2 Lead Writer Blasts Homophobic Fan

    I'm so glad to see such a positive and fair response. Good on them for standing behind their choices. It's very refreshing! Also a very important point he had was that some people just wont like any of the romance choices. I would much rather romance Aveline than the two female options...

    Can You Confess Your Guilty Pleasures?

    Mine tend to be very bad/cheesy tv shows and some trashy "love" reality tv shows. I hate them yet sometimes there's nothing I want more then just seat and watch all episodes one after the other... It's so brainless to me that it relaxes me completely.

    Escape to the Movies: Love & Other Drugs

    I'm torn here. I will admit to watching a lot of chick flicks (most of them I have no problem saying are not good/great movies). They are what I watch when I'm tired and I don't want anything demanding or stressful. That being said, saying that sex makes this movie more realistic is odd to...

    The Big Picture: Who's Afraid of Captain America?

    The big picture just doesn't work for me because what I liked was that he went very in depth into things. Now it's all glossed over, a resume of what he thinks about something and that's just blend. Everyone does it. The in-depth social critics that used to be in movie bob and the game over...

    Review: The Sims 3 (Xbox 360)

    Is it multiplayer? Me and my fiancée have been complaining about the impossibility the control our own sims and have them interact for quite a while. Its fun watching the other play but its never the same as actually playing together!
