    Mass Effect 3 Gets An Ending

    Well, it's kind of weird. Just taking in-game sources it seems to fit flawlessly, but the way the devs have been reacting to the fan outcry seems to indicate otherwise. The devs really seem like they're surprised and hurt that the fans didn't love their horribly written half assed ending. At...

    IO Refuses To Be "Dictated To" by Fans

    Sure if they actually make them optional instead of making the game rely on them to be playable at all like Oblivion's idiot guide compass. Of course game companies don't do that. Crutch features like this are always designed to be integral parts of the game that it's not intended to be played...

    Expert Says Blaming Videogames for Violence is Racist

    A lot of people posting in this thread seem to think racism means "I HATE EVERYONE WHO LOOKS DIFFERENT THAN ME!!!111one" Either that or they just read the word racism and then immediately went with their knee jerk "OMG someone said racism they must be a PC sissy!" reaction. That's not what...

    Nathan Fillion Wants You to Stop Pestering the Uncharted Director

    Calling someone stupid because you interpreted their sentence in the least sensible way possible... Ouch the irony. No one went to see avatar because Worthington was in it. They went to see it because it was a blockbuster with super cool special effects!

    Infinity Ward Not Worried About People Comparing Modern Warfare 3 to 9/11

    Why the hell did I read this whole thread just to post a reminder to the few people talking about continuity that CoD has not had continuity between games since the very first one where Captain Price DIED like a sucker in World War 2 on board a German naval ship. He didn't even get a death...

    Minecraft Middle-Earth Will Melt Your Mind

    Now someone needs to do this in Dwarf Fortress. :D Well, can you think of any triple A game that's actually done something even close to this? Oblivion was just a hugely scaled down procedurally generated terrain map world with several tiny walled villages they called cities and...

    Burglar Busted for Posting Crime Scene Photos on Facebook

    Wow, thanks for bumping this. I missed it the first time around. Amazing. Truly amazing.

    Nathan Fillion Wants You to Stop Pestering the Uncharted Director

    All that means is that there's no part in the main storyline where you are locked into a situation where the only way to trigger the next event is for you personally to kill something. The NV tutorial for example is all about killing things, but it's optional. Then you can just run away from...

    The Battleship Movie Trailer Is Here!

    So wait. They take the USS Missouri out into the open ocean? This movie is preposterous! Oh well, at least they're putting money into the Hawaiian economy.

    Nathan Fillion Wants You to Stop Pestering the Uncharted Director

    Kind of off topic, but all this makes me wonder if anyone would care if Kristen Bell didn't get cast as Lucy Stilwell in the seemingly impending Assassin's Creed movie considering she has experience in lead roles in TV, movies, and stage performance, and is both the VA and physical model for the...

    Star Wars Galaxies Players Start Petition to Stop Closure

    People still play SWG after the NGE? I wonder why. Well I mean I can see people playing on the SWG Emu servers that run the pre NGE/CU game, but paying to play the official version on official servers? That's just weird.

    LoadingReadyRun: Cash Cats

    Did anyone else think the landlord's voice sounded a lot like Paul's? Like maybe they were related?

    Jimquisition: Videogames Are Not Movies, Get Over It

    Did anyone else think "Oh my god, the Rev Rants are back and Anthony is Jim!"? Funny thing about this is that I actually agreed with pretty much everything he said for a change when usually that only happens when he's talking about Dynasty Warriors games... Speaking of which, do something...

    Obscure Videogame Characters

    Iori Junpei from Persona 3... I actually don't think this was that obscure considering it won PS2 game of the year or something from Gamspot but I it was certainly no big name game coming from Atlus and all. Anyway, the character was really funny, and his English voice actor was great. Same...

    PC Elitists

    I've tried interpreting that both sarcastically and seriously and neither way makes much sense. What exactly are you getting at?
