    Poll: Yahtzee changes joke in ZP video

    It entirely depends for me. Did he change it because he regretted saying it on a personal level, or did he change it because he didn't want to piss people off/the editorial staff told him to change it? If it's the former, I'm a-ok with it. If it's the latter, I don't think he should have...

    Would you support a cure for homosexuality and transexualism?

    I wouldn't support it in the womb, no. But I might support such a cure for adults. For instance, if a 21 year old male was attracted to men and no longer wanted to be... I wouldn't begrudge them "curing" themselves.

    Jennifer Hepler leaves Bioware due to threats by fans

    The phrasing of his response revealed his bias. It wasn't simply put, ie "Why do you think that?" No, instead it was some snarky response to something he disagreed with. In response to why I think she's a terrible writer, there are a few reasons. Chief among them however is her part in...

    Jennifer Hepler leaves Bioware due to threats by fans

    Jesus Thri, we get it. You used to work for BioWare. Try to at least conceal your bias.

    Jennifer Hepler leaves Bioware due to threats by fans

    Well, I obviously don't support someone saying they'll murder her kids but I'm glad she'd left BioWare. She was an awful writer.

    Whore of the Orient Gameplay Brings Back L.A. Noire Memories

    Kinda looks like what would happen if LA Noire and Sleeping Dogs had a baby. Uh, what?

    Xbox 360 Review: Tomb Raider (2013)

    Tomb Raider (2013) I grew up with the original series of Tomb Raider games, and although I wouldn't rate the series among my favourite childhood titles, the games do still have a certain nostalgic feel to me. Lara Croft is name synonymous with 90s videogames and female protagonists...

    Poll: Should women get the same prize money as men at Wimbledon?

    But a lot of the male players are so exhausted after five sets that they can't even participate in the doubles matches, therefore not only do the female players get the same amount of money for something less strenuous but also have the opportunity to make even more money on top of that.

    Poll: Should women get the same prize money as men at Wimbledon?

    So, do you think women's singles players should be paid less now?

    Poll: Should women get the same prize money as men at Wimbledon?

    There have been several good examples of male players coming from two sets down to win though, even in early rounds in the tournament. Do you remember the Isner-Mahut match in 2010? If such a three round rule existed we'd have never seen such a match. I noted this earlier. I'm confused as to...

    Poll: Should women get the same prize money as men at Wimbledon?

    As entertaining as it would be to see it happen again in recent times (not in a "it'd be great to see a woman lose!" sense, more in a "This'll be a neat talking point" sense) the last few times it's happened the men have wiped the floor with the women. There were a couple of games (in the...

    Poll: Should women get the same prize money as men at Wimbledon?

    Oddly enough almost all the comments say either women should have to play as many sets as men, or disagree entirely that they should receive equal pay. For whatever reason it would appear the people voting yes simply aren't commenting, which is kind of a shame.

    Poll: Should women get the same prize money as men at Wimbledon?

    I honestly can't give you a reason. It would seem beneficial to almost everyone, the female players included, if they did play the same amount of sets as the men. Yet for some reason they don't. As Bill O'Reilly once said: "you just can't explain that." Except, the female players DO get the...

    Poll: Should women get the same prize money as men at Wimbledon?

    I think one of the problems with Women's Tennis is one of the same problems with women's football; there simply isn't the same demand to watch them in comparison to their male counterparts. The only time most people even catch a glimpse of England's women's squad is when they make the final of...

    Poll: Should women get the same prize money as men at Wimbledon?

    I agree with you that it's not as appealing to watch. The rallies are always much shorter in women's matches than in the men's. I'm not sure exactly why that is, could be a number of reasons. Also, female tennis players at their highest level also can't serve anywhere near as fast as...
