    Old Games you remember playing but can't remember the name of.

    Possible System: PS1/PSX Premise: Multimedia Disk that came with some Playstation 1s (if memory serves) with a very distinct Black & White Motif about a number of things where you do things like: Draw and Color on a Blank Canvas, Sequence Notes to make music, play very basic games. I think...

    Zero Punctuation: Halo 5: Guardians

    The multi in ODST was much more lauded than the campaign, its wave based mechanic was especially held up as some of the best fun that year for a group of players. What exactly |are| you talking about? Beyond that: Angry Joe has already made it clear why REQ is something that shouldn't be...

    Zero Punctuation: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

    Having done just about every major thing inside the weird world of MGS except end Peace Walker (My PSP died but I'm emulating it as we speak). My answer would be that the only building block that you are really missing is MGS3 as long as you play Ground Zeroes and to a lesser degree: Peace...

    Escape to the Movies: Gone Girl - Fantastically Suspenseful Thiller

    How exactly did you review this without drawing the obvious parallels to the novel Bob? Its essentially that sans main character which removes the levity and humor and replaces it with Fincher's societal emptiness commentary (which does sound awesome)

    Feed Dump: Dead Body Accidentally Thrown Away

    I'm fairly certain that the "Heaps" in "Heaps of free shade" is referencing the wearer's fat-rolls.

    Escape to the Movies: Earth to Echo - This Generation's ET?

    TBP Bob: I was a massive tit for taking poignant pot-shots at Michael Bay EftM Bob:*Takes random pot-shots at Kevin Smith less than a week later* I for one second this: If you have a valid gripe about the guy then air it out in full Bob, stop foisting it on unrelated EftM episodes.

    Jim & Yahtzee's Rhymedown Spectacular: A Fitting End

    You couldn't beat Yahtzee fair and square so you had to call off the war? How sad... Seriously: It was an enjoyable ride and its disappointing more people didn't tune in.

    FCC Chair To Revise Horrible Proposed Net Neutrality Rules

    Yes and Wheeler is another of a long line of insular crony hires by the Obama administration, who has the actual power to fix the issue. You see how there's enough blame to share around to both parties? Its a staple of American politics and its why party politics are a big circle-jerk to be...

    Jimquisition: Tomodachi Strife

    It's amusing when Jim gets something so wrong. 1) It was very clearly a bug that was attached to a value being assigned that could potentially make the game unstable 2) Nintendo saying the removal of the bug was not social commentary on their view of Marriage *did not* happen in a vacuum...

    FCC Chair To Revise Horrible Proposed Net Neutrality Rules

    Stop, right there. This issue has absolutely nothing to do with party politics and you bringing them into this is intellectual bankruptcy. The issue is not one that even has to enter any vote by any party in any way. The FCC simply needs to reclassify ISPs as CCCs. It is literally as...

    Escape to the Movies: You Are Wrong About Spider-Man 3

    Looks like Bob has re-joined the Movie Defense Force. Welcome back to the fold.

    LoadingReadyRun: Four PS4s

    Ah Paul you may have bested me this time but do you have... THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY Xbox 360s?! [http://s8.photobucket.com/user/elcapitan008/media/45l3Uw_zps1de44bc4.jpg.html] AH-HAH I think we all know who has won! Early promotional videos and ads for the WiiU had the top arches...

    Escape to the Movies: Kick Ass 2

    Personally: I hated Kick-Ass and anyone who couldn't tell the original author had a slanted and twisted hatred for his characters needs to take Lit 101 again. His vitriol is spilled in the pages under a patina of trope deconstruction but its always been there and is apparent even in the movie...

    Megaupload Blames U.S. Government For Massive Data Wipe

    While Megaupload LTD is no group of saints, (as some of their smaller sites like megavideo regularly featured pirated content) supporting this gross abuse of the law that the U.S. Government has perpetrated for the sole purpose of making an example is foolish for any content creator as it lends...

    Full Metal Genesis

    Still beating this old horse? Guess as long as the pageviews hold out, more power to you guys. For the not-so-wise: The writer |fully| understands that given the situation he's thrown into: Shinji does one heck of a job adjusting. He's milking the rage of EVA fans that argue until they're...
