Niko would be an acceptable shorthand for Nikola - a a popular serbian name. You know - same as that very little known Serb, Nikola Tesla. Not entirely correct. "Noone" in Russian would be "nikto" (никто). "Nikovo" is Genitive from "nikto".

This person gets it. The charm of Pitch Black was that it toyed with the idea of having the protagonist to be a morally questionable character BEFORE stuff like Dexter popped out. The Chronicles did try to uphold this, but had to revert to idea "I will save my daughter-figure AND...

But what is wrong with this argument??? You want something done and you can't do it yourself. It means you have to purchase interest of someone who can. If you can promise a game developer major sales in exchange for a game with strong female protagonist then you will get his interest -...

Except for people who chose to play Spec Ops because they heard that this game was "deep" and "had great story" They then had to force themselves through luckluster shooting experience, they would really rather avoid. Just to reach a conclusion that said "Did you really just do all that...

I'll touch on a different subject here: Tony and the kid. I am surprised people dismissing it as a "comic relief" or "teen sidekick" or "audience surrogate" I loved that part, because in my mind it was more psychological then the rest of the movie combined. See, Tony IS the kid. When Tony...

This tweet is actually completely meaningless and intended as a post-modernist commentary on the nature of popularity, highlighting how everything that a popular person says is immediately imbued with content and meaning, even if it has none.

I really liked the Third, but I am conflicted about this trailer... By no means I would like SR franchize to go back to its SR1-SR2 roots - this would mean competing with brands like GTA, Mafia and Sleeping Dogs, and competing on THEIR field. And Volition is not the powerhouse to do that -...

This is something that game designers HAVE to address at one point or another, because blatant disconnect between the cutscenes and the action is growing and is seriously jarring in modern games. Uncharted 3 was mentioned previously, but other titles had this problem as well. Mass Effect had the...

(as a disclaimer for the next paragraph: if anyone feels that he/she does not quite understand the terminology - like mammary gland or spontaneous desire - feel free to google it) Except it is. Because in order for to survive for a species where a) the male is predominantly subject to...

No, of course not. Unlike tits and asses, cocks and vulvas do not have an associated mechanism of instinctive attraction built by thousand-year-long evolution going for them. You might be very fond of vulvas on an intellectual level - by appreciating the fine mechanics of this body part or the...

Yeah, I don't understand how a word "tit" can be used as a slur. Tits are awesome, go team Boobs! I think the biggest misanthrope in the world, after wishing for our planet to boil in the never-ending volcano of his liquid hate so that it would be cleaned of the cesspool we call civilization...

Yeah, it's done for shock value of "so taboo!"*, but I get ecstatic thinking about what would failed authors use for shock value once this thing gets stale. (and it will get stale quickly) "Jim (the arrogant jerk with the heart of gold) falls madly in love with Jane (emotionless blank slate)...

At first I wanted to flip this paragraph, substituting "overweight" with "IQ under 70" and "fat ass" with "idiot" to show resemblance between these two human parameters, but I couldn't make myself do it. People have less control over their level of intellect and overall education, than they...

Corporate party. One of our executive assistants gets really drunk and starts grinding herself on my leg. I joke it off and walk away. This goes on for a whole fucking evening. My HR (a woman) notices and says "Didn't know you had something going on with her?" I answer "Neither did I" HR...
