What? That original conversation seemed fine, if not particularly interesting. Is Bioware apologizing for not hiding their transgender character better?

I have to cite Angry Joe here too: No Man's Sky is a game I would be really excited to play, warts and all, for $15-$20. That's the price point where I'll totally buy, "Yeah, it's not that fun. But check out this rad system we designed! And you really CAN explore a huge-ass galaxy from a...

How is the Vault-Tec Workshop DLC stuff significantly different from the settlement system? In the base game's settlement system, you disassemble random consumer-grade crap from 200 years earlier, eat houses and poop out raw materials, and by mixing that stuff together with relatively scant and...

Stupid advertising stunt is stupid but generated X clickthroughs and Y$ more in overall sales for Z celebrity game dev's new indie game than without said stupid stunt, as well as about $30000 minus costs for an artificially rarified keepsake that people probably wouldn't otherwise think to sell...

If you're considering shelling out $25 for Far Harbor, it probably makes more sense to just buy the season pass on a discount website (g2a and gamingdragons are generally pretty good for this) for around $25-$35. Then you get Far Harbor in addition to five other DLC for Fallout 4. I can...

What? Oh. Uh, sure. Yes. Bioshock Infinite was the worst AAA FPS ever. Who needs story? Who needs compelling characters? Who needs fun, dynamic FPS combat? Bioshock Infinite didn't live up to exactly and precisely the hype train that preceded it, and failed to literally fellate me upon...

The term 'Gender Specials' makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It's a nice reminder that, while everybody is free to be and present themselves as whomever or whatever they like, other people are under no obligation to like or accept them. We can reject you, much in the same way that you...

Here's hoping that this is a nice opportunity for some fresh eyes to take a look at the very solid and entertaining Bulletstorm (2011). As for me, I have no plans to buy a straight-up remaster because I own the original game, it works fine, and buying it again would be fucking stupid. I'll...

No PC release=middle finger. Not to say there won't ever be one, but given Warner Brothers' track record with PC ports lately, I'm suspicious that they're done with the platform for now. Which is a damn shame, because Netherrealm Studios makes some very solid games.

All I'm really hoping for out of the new Star Trek series is that, whatever continuity it's in and whateve time it's set in, the show be about a crew of people in some sort of mobile space structure, that they explore, and that less than a quarter of the episodes are about some sort of war...

Huh. Kinda neat. I wouldn't try to compare it to the first Ghostbusters or anything, but thanks to this trailer it seems like a basically watchable sci-fi comedy.

Uh, no. No breast implants are not relationship dealbreakers. It's a little weird and all, but eh? Love is love. That being said, I can't imagine personally wanting my SO to get breast implants, and I'm sure as fuck not paying for them.

I feel like 'making the female lead somebody it would be socially inappropriate for the male lead to screw' doesn't really solve the problem so much as make it simultaneously more subaltern and way grosser. Let people fuck. It's okay. But maybe give it a little more screen time than kissing...

Jean-Claude Van Damme made some fantastic action movies and he's hardly the world's most talented actor. So, yes. I would absolutely cast Gina Carano in pretty much any role that calls for a woman who can believably punch out a grown man, especially because I am beyond tired of seeing a...

I suppose my real question-behind-the-question is this: could you imagine Daisy Ridley punching a conscious, non-restrained, aware grown man to death? If not, she's probably not going to make a good Lara Croft, because that's regularly something Lara Croft has to do. And I suppose that's my...
