    Report: Dishonored 2 Will Surface at Gamescom, 2014

    If this report turns out to be legitimate, then I've just acquired a new release to look forward to. Exploring other continents is probably the best direction they could go, and Tyvia is certainly one of the most interesting ones from what you can read in the game. Combined with the power of...

    Human Spaceflight: No Single Rationale Justifies it, NRC Report

    Putting humans at needless risk by sending them on missions from which they may not return, yet alone establish a colony or discover something useful with the technological limitations we have now is indeed not very wise, but that hardly means space exploration should be abandoned. Quite the...

    Escapist Expo to Host Smosh Games Crew

    While I did not plan to attend the Expo, mainly because of the distance separating me from it, I greatly enjoyed the expo videos last year, so it pains me to see these buffoons plaguing the brilliance that will be the expo(deducting, at least, from how it went last time). Then again, I suppose...

    Miracle of Sound: The Best of Us (The Last of Us)

    That was Grand. It reminded me of the game's soundtrack at times, the masterfully done intro and ending especially. I've noticed that Justin didn't make the video on this one. Has this happened before on occasion and I just haven't been paying attention? Nevertheless, the video itself was still...

    Warcraft Movie Studio Is Still Trying To Figure It Out

    Good to see this simple rule is finally being acknowledged. There's almost no way to form the main plot of a game into a movie without sacrificing plot points and at least somewhat eviscerating(If not changing the plot entirely to fit the movie)the source material(although if an Uncharted movie...

    Video game music you listen to when you are depressed?

    I guess I rarely find myself listening to much while depressed, but If I did

    Silly Features You Appreciate In Games

    Everything mentioned in this thread from the Uncharted series and Last of Us, basically. Also another little detail that is done magnificently in The Last of Us, is that when you die(or just get defeated in any way), the game doesn't just shove a giant 'HA, YOU LOSER. HOW COULD YOU LOSE ON SUCH...

    Not wanting to go to Prom

    Indeed, as it has been numerously pointed out, if you do not wish to attend such an event, then don't. It is understandable that you would feel the need to pose such a question, since I know all too well how much ridiculous peer pressure there is around the whole ordeal. 'One such night in...

    Miracle of Sound: Dream of the Sky (BioShock: Infinite)

    I am quite positive that hearing this song could be considered a cure to a wide variety of diseases, cancer included. Also getting laid and generally winning at life. Yeah. It's that good. Seriously. It genuinely made my day better. Nay, the whole week. These darn songs. 'Ha. 'The Best I...

    Bethesda Claims It's Done With Skyrim

    I agree partly, but it would be rather awkward combining Elsweyr and Blackmarsh, since there's a small patch of Cyrodil in between them. In my opinion, it would make much more sense to combine Valenwood and Elsweyr. They're both quite small compared to some other provinces of Tamriel, are right...

    Game trailers you like?

    Here's one that I thought would appear in this thread a long time ago. Also, this deserves a honourable mention

    Civilization V Gets Diplomatic With Brave New World Expansion

    I actually think that all of the pictures show the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in some form. There's two polish Winged-Hussar pictures(Historygasm), and I'm willing to bet that the leader being depicted is Casimir III the Great(Granted, he wasn't the king of the Polish-Lithuanian...

    Walking Dead: Survival Instinct Focuses On Survival Not Headshots

    The only way I could see this work is if they would make it more of an almost purely survival game, that has really nothing to do with The Walking Dead, but focuses on a randomized exploration and survival. You would have an objective, and a route to that objective that would vary from player to...

    Just Cause Dev Claims PS4 Will Out-Power Most PCs For Years

    Oh wow. I'm starting to think that console-oriented devs *want* PC gamers to think they're technically unsavvy. A new generation is good news for everyone, but the PS4, even before its release, can be compared optimistically to a decent, mid-to-high end PC. Not to mention the fact that PC's have...

    Remastered / Re-released Games - What would you want to see?

    The Tenchu series. I played Wrath of Heaven to death, and there haven't been any solid Tenchu games since 2003. At least not on a platform that I own. Friggin' Xbox exclusives.
