    The Elder Scrolls Online Imperial Edition Gets Official Unboxing

    The Imperial Race is playable for everyone. The only thing the limited edition does is make it playable for every faction. For a person playing the standard edition, Imperials would only be playable in the Ebonheart faction. I don't know about the "marriage" system though. I have the...

    Square Enix Denies Kingdom Hearts III, Final Fantasy XV Rumors

    Honestly, I think even a 2015 release is a bit too optimistic to hope for, especially if you want to wait for the localized version, which most people would I imagine. They have to finish FFXV first anyway.

    Square Enix's Final Fantasy XIII Retrospective is Retro-tastic

    It's not a game they're selling, just a video they made. Maybe if it gets enough attention they might consider actually making something like this. I hope they do, it's a really good idea - kinda gives me the urge to play FFVI.

    Shadow of Mordor Accused of Actually Using Assassin's Creed Assets

    I think they were contextual. They seemed to occur when Talion was on low health, and the enemy was dealing the "killing blow" so it could be a sort of second chance mechanic for combat. Which wouldn't be such a terrible thing really, Contextual QTEs are a lot less offensive than the surprise...

    Shadow of Mordor Accused of Actually Using Assassin's Creed Assets

    It would actually be a pretty good idea to straight up rip off the 'Screed engine if Ubisoft allowed it. That way the navigation mechanics would be mostly done leaving you with all the time in the world to work on the original stuff, like the Nemesis system or whatever else.

    Question who out there WILL Never upgrade to next gen (current gen)?

    I'll have to play KH3 at some point in my life so getting an X1 or PS4 is pretty much a guarantee. I don't know if I'll ever buy one though, it would seem a waste to buy an entire console just to play one game, so I guess I might borrow it off somebody, or rent it if anywhere still does that...

    New Biometric Headset Punishes Gamer Rage

    Being frustrated or annoyed when playing a game is a perfectly normal response to... er, frustrating and annoying things. Outright raging is bad but you can suppress it, whilst you can't not feel annoyance. It's really silly to punish people for that. Really, a good game should have its own ways...

    Why did you choose your username?

    I've used the name Bluff forever - like, since I was a four year old playing Pokemon Red. I can't remember why though, perhaps I had just learned the word around the same time I started playing Red and thought it sounded cool. The "Simple" part I added in much later, only because the word...

    Kingdom Hearts 3 News - Haley Joel Osment AMA

    The central plot will be wrapped up but the series itself will continue on, so says Nomura. He sees the current storyline as a "saga" of sorts, the first of many in the KH franchise. Which disappoints me honestly. Anyhoo, my bet is that the game won't be released until 2016 - not outside...

    why do people still blame video games for real-world violence?

    I really don't think it's an issue anymore. Mainstream news outlets (at least in the UK/Ireland regions) have actually embraced video games. BBC had a news report about LA Noire bricking PS3s, to warn consumers. Sky News had report on a 90 year old lady who still plays GTA - not a judgmental...

    Tali'Zorah is 9 days old: An update and a story on fatherhood

    Wait, really? Why would an apostrophe cause an error in the system? Lots of names have apostrophes - well not in their first name, granted, but there's plenty of "O' Neils, O' Connors" etc. That's an awfully silly system. Anyway, congratulations on the baby. I didn't look at the pictures but...

    [Euphoric] Fedora wearing Thief targeting churches

    Well it's about time the more enlightened of us had the courage to rise up against all the religions and steal their stuff. Where's your God now, society?!?!? Man, I bet all those religions are so pissed right now.

    A Topic You Care About...Step 2 Initiated

    I like aviculture (why is that coming up as a misspelling?), particularly of passerines (why is THAT coming up as a misspelling? Get it sorted, Escapist spell check wizards) which is a fancy word for songbirds. I only really know much about the species found in Ireland though. I'm not really...

    Getting your hair cut.

    I used to keep my hair short, nearly bald. It didn't look great on me but it was nice and simple, and I like simple. In the last year though, I just haven't been able to muster the effort to make the journey to the barbers. It's been almost a year since my last hair cut and my hair is nearly...

    Mass Effect 4: Sequel?

    I wish I had a link for this, but I'm nearly certain Bioware said ME4 is not a prequel. So I guess the only way to go forward is to choose a canon ending.
