    The Witcher 3: Freedom

    The biggest narrative drawback to the games is that you've spent two games with Triss in your corner. While Geralt had amnesia in the first game, and was actively looking for Yennifer in the second, we had no time to create feelings towards her. The disconnect, for me, comes in where I don't...

    Ammunition

    I had to actually go and look up what was going on with Pillars of Eternity. I know exactly what part they were offended about and my only response is... "What?" I'm going to stop caring what other people think is bad about video games because obviously they are not as serious business to...

    Secret of Mana: A Good Game With The Great Cut Out

    Great article but "Chrono Trigger" and "cult classic" are two words that never belong in the same sentence.

    Heroes of The Storm's Pricing Structure is Unacceptable. Here's How to Fix it

    "It's really disheartening to see Blizzard take this route. Blizzard has always been about making its games as fun and accessible to as many players as possible..." This is wrong. Blizzard hasn't cared about making games "fun" they have cared about getting as many people to play them to make...

    Why the Marvel Movies Should Ditch Peter Parker

    I've been saying it since we got the word about Spider-man. I mean, honestly, we are already using a number of "Ultimate" versions of characters (Nick Fury being the most notable), so why not just keep the train rolling?

    Can We Stop Climate Change While Still Living Comfortably?

    Step 1: Pour funding back into space travel Step 2: Break FTL barrier Step 3: ??? Step 4: Get off this rock. (Profit!)

    Ghost in the Shell Casting Shows We Need More Than White Feminism

    I'm not looking forward to the movie, mostly because I don't think Hollywood can do the anime any true justice. What is worse though is that when they cast ScarJo, I knew these kind of opinion pieces were on the horizon. Not that I necessarily agree or disagree with them but because they always...

    The Big Picture: Dinosaur Exodus

    I've said it before, I'll say it again. You're arguing about space wizards wielding laser swords. Think about that. OT: Old school dinosaurs are superior.

    Star Wars' "Black Stormtrooper" to Critics: "Get Used to it"

    This is a thing? Really? I mean, who has time to argue about the race of a Stormtrooper when there are serious arguments, like the inconsistencies of a laser sword wielded by space wizards to argue about.

    Watch Star Wars Episode VII's First Official Trailer Right Here

    This reaffirms my idea that the light-sword was created by someone with no real prior knowledge of the Force or Jedi. Now, how he would have created a lightsaber is beyond me but if someone had no knowledge of the aforementioned things, that is how I would expect them to construct a lightsaber.

    Watch Star Wars Episode VII's First Official Trailer Right Here

    Why is everyone flipping out about this ligthsaber and its design when we know nothing about it? It clearly looks primitive simply by how much its sparking so it creates a lot of questions (thus the point of a teaser). Settle the hell down.

    Star Wars VII trailer is out!

    Are there, or is there going to be, any serious discussion about that lightsaber, because I am totally geeking out about it. The clearly primitive, almost as if it was created by someone who got their hands on a lightsaber schematic and built it to the best of their technical ability, without...

    DayZ Price Increases by 15%, Immediately has "15% Off Sale" - Update

    Yet another reason to not buy "early access". You're not even buying a complete game. I don't pay for beta releases of good games let alone "early access" of shitty games by shitty companies. Companies only do this because they know people are stupid enough to give them money for a half-finished...

    The Big Picture: Remembering the Real Jack Thompson

    Jack Thompson is still a thing? Ok, I honestly thought we were past him but whatever. Oh and Bob, please put your Anita away. She isn't a crusader, she isn't good for the medium. She's a sensationalist and just as bad as Jack was. She is using this not to make a statement but as a spring...
