    Are Games Losing My Interest, or Is it Just Me?

    I could never do the job of a game reviewer. They play games because they have to, not because they want to. They don't have the option of putting down a bad game and moving on to something else. And all those games have the same bullshit grind in them that has been plaguing video games for the...

    What has been your impression of bronies?

    I've always thought their level of fandom was nearly as creepy as just about every other high profile fan obsession (Twilight anyone?). Once you cross into either extreme of hate or love (as a fan of something), I find your obsession weird. People that are not 6-8 year old girls who gush...

    Cancelling the Apocalypse - Pacific Rim 2 Is No More - Update

    I always wondered why they killed off as many robots as they did. What? Is nobody a fan of mass robot on monster fighting action?! Why does it always have to come down to the lone hero? /boggle Pacific Rim was decent, but glad they didn't get a chance to fall off the precipice.

    Star Wars: Battlefront Will Ignore the Prequels, Free Ep. VII DLC Planned

    Looks fun, I like the Battlefield mechanic of attrition, but why make an announcement of limiting this game to only the original trilogy? There are so many worlds in the Star Wars universe that they could stage battles on and make them cool as hell without even touching the "story" battles...

    Lionhead posts picture with clevage, two news sites react with extremly unprofesonal articles

    As someone that supports gender equality, this is pretty damn stupid. It is no wonder sexism isn't taken seriously.

    Get a Look at Sheogorad in the Fan-Made Morrowind Remaster

    I think I saw a flower in that sea of gray!

    Mass Effect 3... Happy Ending mod?

    I bought ME3 post extended cut, so I wasn't unhappy with the ending. A running through a field of flowers type ending would have just been lame. He had to die and the ending I got fit with my Sheppard's narrative. I did feel like the science fiction was fast approaching high fantasy magic, but I...

    The Walking Dead S5EP3 Review: Bloody Sunday School

    Great article! I honestly can't tell if I loved this episode or if I just like the new format. I felt the last season where everyone was split up was probably the best format because it jumps around to all different kinds of encounters and allows for various stories to be told at once without...

    Death Threat Regret

    I love the "obviously the tweet wasn't serious" part of the article. Not gonna lie, I LOL'd at that. I love the comics, keep up the good work! Kudos to Valve for not putting up with inappropriate behavior. To the indie dev that got the boot:

    Borderlands Pre-Sequel: Story Gets a 1 out of 5

    The Borderlands franchise has always been, to put it mildly, light on story. Questions of why am I here, what is the mystery and why should I care, are all pretty much shoehorned into the game as an afterthought. I'm not saying your are incorrect, but there are many other better story driven...

    A point I had never considered about sexism in gaming...is it really a valid point?

    I think context is important here. LoL is not designed with any level of realism and instead it is about the gameplay. Having sexualized digital avatars doesn't really play into the whole sexism debate with any real amount of bite. Meaning, while it is a valid argument that we can and should...

    A Librarian's Quest to End the Stigma Against Comics

    I hope they reach their goal, but good luck to them. This apparent comment sense is lost among at least all of the population on this shiny blue marble. People derogate and deride people who own a Wii, FFS - as if somehow another person owning and *gasp* enjoying it somehow affects them. I...

    Woman murdered for rejecting a man, another gets her throat slashed for the same.

    Far more disturbing than this behavior of Men and their ego problems are the "But look at all the men that get murdered! It's far more than women!" comments. As if that logical fallacy had any effect what-so-ever on the original "This shit is fucked up yo" statement made by the OP. *sigh*

    Poll: Do You Write In Cursive?

    I get about 1/3 the way down the page/form and my block letter handwriting starts to turn into cursive (not real cursive, just really shitty handwriting) as my brain screams to be able to use a keyboard again and wants to get going at a more normal and reasonably paced 85 WPM. Does that count?

    I'm starting to think I'm not a "nerd" "gamer" or whatever.

    Just find a game you like. Or, go outside for a while. Fuck what other people like or don't like. I'm still playing shit from like 3 years ago. It's not that I have an opinion about any new releases, it's just that I want to play some older stuff right now. I hated minecraft when it first...
