    Zero Punctuation: Elite: Dangerous - Space Truckin'

    It seems like this game would appeal to me, mainly for the space exploration bits. It looks to me like this game is just Eve: Online Light, which is great because I like aspects of Eve, but it's a little too heavy for me. The problem is that I don't like just sitting staring at my screen and all...

    The Big Picture: The Terrible Twenty Films of 2014 Part 1

    Bob and I seem to have the complete opposite opinions of Snowpiercer and Interstellar. I hated Snowpiercer but loved Interstellar lol.

    The Big Picture: Top 10 Movies of 2014

    My apologies. I didn't know how to do it. I fixed it.

    The Big Picture: Top 10 Movies of 2014

    I don't understand the love for Snowpiercer. It was really great up until the last fifteen minutes, then it became an absolute mess. Too many ideas being bounced around ended in a finale that was trying to balance too many themes and plot threads. The last few shots of the movie are supposed to...

    The Walking Dead "Coda": Finally, The Show Lives Up To Its Own Hype

    I don't understand any of the praise this season has gotten aside from the first three episodes, which were incredible. This has been the worst season and I doubt I'll pick it back up in February. There is absolutely no reason we should be five seasons into this show and still in Atlanta. The...

    Assassin's Creed Rogue Review - Black Flag Too

    I'm about halfway through Rogue and I have to say, it has the best story in the entire series so far. Shay's transition from Assassin to Templar is very emotional and interesting as he must make conscious choices to hunt and kill his close friends. And as someone who thoroughly enjoyed Black...

    The Walking Dead "Slabtown" - The Sound Of The Police

    Judging by the last few incredible and well-written episodes, I really though the show had fixed its horrendous pacing issues. But this episode showed the writers still don't know how to craft a cohesive, compelling narrative. This episode was terrible and it felt like a waste of time. I feel...

    Jimquisition: The 100% Objective Review

    I feel like I just heard a video game review by Perd Hapley. And that is the story of this comment.

    Assassin's Creed Season Pass Features Female Protagonist in China

    This sounds to me like Ubisoft is testing the waters for a feudal Japan or East Asia-centric game. I mean, pretty much all AssCreed fans want it, but I guess they're testing the play style? Using a katana or other asian weapons might be a lot different in combat. I hope that's the case, anyway...

    What to Watch: What are the best Netflix Streaming Movies most haven't even heard of?

    I don't know if I'd call it "hidden" as it's been on their Featured list since Robin Williams died, but The Fisher King is a great film and one of the most unknown and underrated movies of both Robin Williams and Terry Gilliam's careers. I don't really know how to describe it, though. It's a bit...

    Games that you've abandoned playing

    Oh believe me, I tried that multiple times lol. Kept getting squashed by them before I could even make it to the boss door. I tried luring them out into the hallway and then running past them, but so many enemies spawn in that hallway, I was just worn down. I died several times just trying to...

    Games that you've abandoned playing

    Well I think there is a difference between ragequiting and abandoning. There are a few games I've ragequit, but when it comes to abandoning a game, mainly out of boredom or mild frustration, I would say most recently I abandoned Dark Souls II. It didn't so much as piss me off, but just became so...

    Microsoft Grabs Rise of the Tomb Raider in Xbox Exclusive - Update

    This baffles me. Square Enix was, not too long ago, complaining about Tomb Raider's sales, now they stand to lose sales. I was planning on getting this, but seeing as how I don't want to put down 400 more dollars to get an XBoxOne, I guess this is one sale Square Enix won't get. I imagine it...

    Poll: Fallout 3 or New Vegas

    Fallout 3 is one of my favorite video games of all time. I couldn't get into New Vegas. I really tried, too. I spent about sixteen hours playing New Vegas but it never hit me the same way as Fallout 3. I've bought the DLC since I set it down, so I'll likely give it another shot sometime.

    The biggest pile of crap you spent money on in the steam sale

    Dark Souls is crap on the computer. I borrowed it from a friend on PS3 and loved it, so I wanted to get it cheap on PC, but the controls are terrible and the screen tears at really random times. Not to mention the absurdity of GFWL. I saw forums where people suggested mods and ways to configure...
