I see a lot of posters here complaining about the fact that the photographer snapped a photo instead of springing into action to help. Think about that for a moment. When something newsworthy happens, a photographer takes a photo, because this is their profession. They are not firefighters...

Well, I realize this is probably small comfort in the face of the potential death of one's favorite genre, but the old arena shooters aren't going anywhere. Developers might not be making arena shooters anymore, but nor are they setting out to destroy the old ones- you can still boot up Unreal...

A "real man" dresses how he likes, regardless of what close-minded individuals around him may think. Why shouldn't a grown man be able to wear whatever he wants?

I wrote at length on this subject once, so I'm just going to copy-paste it here: Let me start by saying that I absolutely love the art of Final Fantasy XIII. The characters, enemies and locations are all designed so well, and it's an absolute joy to look at. The characters are very compelling...

This is milking, pure and simple. Between this and FFXIII-3, I really do have to question what's going on over at Square-Enix. I realize they lost a bundle on FFXIV and have to recoup their losses somehow, but it's starting to get ridiculous how laughably bad their decisions have been lately.

When you start getting adjustment sliders for stuff like "cheek depth" and "eyebrow height", I think it's getting a little excessive. Not that I think more options are necessarily a bad thing, mind you, I just find it a little overwhelming. Generally, when I'm faced with thousands of ways to...

Putting aside all questions of artistic integrity and such, she is directly responsible for this economic windfall. She's entitled to compensation.

There is no fighting game more deserving of an HD rerelease, in my opinion.

I like grinding. Yes, it takes most of the challenge out of the game, but that's why it's fun- the game is trying to beat you with strategy, and you're standing firm, saying "No, that isn't going to work, sorry." and winning with brute force. You're not just advancing the game's story, you're...

More people gaming means more people to play games with. I don't care if they're "real" gamers or not- if they play, and they're down for multiplayer, they're okay in my book. Gaming's supposed to be fun, after all, and what game isn't more fun with more people involved?

When in doubt, call the Borg. If TNG has taught me anything, it's that those flying Gamecubes of theirs are to be feared. Of course, calling the Borg to Earth would probably condemn all of humanity to existence as part of the Borg's hivemind-like machine collective, but hey, we've all...

Think of a project to occupy yourself with. Preferably something big. If it seems like your chosen project might take awhile, don't be discouraged- that's the whole idea behind Minecraft, that given enough time and resources, you can make something amazing. Also, if you have friends that play...

I really don't understand this compulsion to insert "My Little Pony" characters into everything. This mod in particular highlights what a bizarre practice it is- the characters are clearly out of place and at odds with the rest of the game's visual style.

Have to go with Capcom. Yeah, they've been practicing some pretty shady business tactics lately, and they treatment they've shown loyal Mega Man fans has been downright mean-spirited, but I'm a Street Fighter fan at heart. Always have been, always will be. And Capcom really knows how to treat...

For my money, yes, a game does have to be fun. I don't know how many other people share this particular opinion, but for me, gaming is a fundamentally different experience than movies or books. I'm not looking to have some big, emotional, deep experience- I just want to run around in a virtual...
