    Pseudo-Science Groups you want to pummel.

    Religion tends to like to twist facts for their own gains, which pisses me the fuck off. Homeopathy. Acupuncture. Remember, it's only called alternative medicine because it doesn't work. If it works, it would be called medicine.

    What Sands of Time Gets Right

    I think player insertion roles work because they let the player's flaws become the character's.

    260: Reviewing Blood, Sex and Magic

    I have only seen one of the romance options in ME2 (2, if you count Liara's) so the future blousery makes me curious. (There's only really one possibility tho)

    260: Reviewing Blood, Sex and Magic

    My issue is that there are people who seriously believe real magic exists at all. See my above statement. Do you seriously not realize how stupid the site sounds? 'The game depicts magic. Magic is harmful. Therefore the game can potentially be harmful.' IT. IS. NOT. REAL.

    Your most hated words!

    Vajayjay. It actively makes me feel stupider every time I encounter it.

    Help (Involves Bro Code)

    The 'bro code', or other supposed codes of ethics that men are supposed to subscribe to? Utter bullshit. 'Never under an circumstances date a girl that is a bro's ex, unless you plan on losing the bro forever. End of discussion. There is no right way to proceed. You either proceed and...

    Visceral Promises Better PC Controls in Dead Space 2

    "Not to sound snarky, but with Dead Space, honestly, the way we're playing it is with a gamepad," This attitude really burns me. How much work could it be just to make sure that your game includes the kind of settings options THAT EVERY PC GAME HAS HAD SINCE QUAKE?! I get that you're...

    The Escapist Presents: Starcraft 2 101: Tips & Tricks

    More than one queen is actually a good idea, for several reasons: 1) Creep tumors 2) Air defense, seeing as how queens are the only unit that can attack air until hydras, good for killing off early banshees or void rays 3) Transfusion. Multiple queens can transfuse static defenses or even...

    The Escapist Presents: Starcraft 2 101: Tips & Tricks

    Which leads to the question: When to scan? Whenever you don't feel comfortable. It's been 2 mules since I last saw what was going on in his base. I shall scan him. I don't like that the giant army I just saw disappeared. Scan. What if there're siege tanks on this high ground near his base? Scan.

    Re: Mules. Orbital commands generally do either of two things: Mule or Scan. Supply drop is (generally) not cost effective, as a supply depot costs 100 minerals while Mules gather 270 over their lifetime. It is useful if you need the supply NOW, like when you've blocked yourself and the enemy is...

    The Escapist Presents: Starcraft 2 101: Tips & Tricks

    Everytime I've seen a BC or a Carrier or a Broodlord, the game was already over before it got to that point. I've not seen them become a deciding factor onto themselves. Another thing: Your casters. Early on I fell into a brute force mindset; build stuff that does damage and just use that...

    @Dark Templar: They do 50 damage a hit, and are _fast_. Zergling fast. They're insanely expensive, 125/125 for their relative fragility. For comparison a siege tank is 150/125. They're not a combat unit, they die way too quickly. Re: Gas discussion. Here's something you have to factor...

    I'm sorry, you have forfeited your right to complain.

    If you ban books, films, art that contradicts your culture, you lose any right to complain when France / Belgium bans clothing that contradicts theirs.
