    Brink : No Girls Allowed

    Yeah... I was actually fairly excited about the game, and I can remember someone going "I'm sure there is a female choice in character customization. We just haven't seen it yet!" And then it never showed up. The most powerful way to get around the "white boys club" aspect of video games is...

    Xbox turning into a childish plaything?

    When was the XBox not a plaything? Essentially, badass make believe is not very different from adorable make believe. We are all waving our willies and tatas around the virtual stage, having imaginary adventures... Eating frosted unicorn poo... Where was I going with that? Nevermind. Go guy a...

    Do you ever lower the difficulty?

    My policy is, if the fun stops because of difficulty, change the difficulty. I played Dead Space on Hard and God of War on easy. Just adjust so you are having a good time. I like to treat my game like they are games.

    Poll: Should I re-buy Dragon Age?

    I have no place to talk on wasting money on multiple copies of the same game. I bought Dead Space for PS3 even though I had an XBox 360 copy. Not because I lost the original, but because I love the game so much I wanted to play it with a different controller. I kid not. My budget for games is...

    Games that no one remembers...

    I think I still look at Playstation 1 era as the glory days. There were SO MANY cool little titles like this, some bad, some good. I liked dressing up as a ninja and kickin' ass. also, Holy shit Wild 9! Yeah!

    Poll: Do you know self defense?

    I'm pretty adept at Chin Na, the art of disabling opponents with pain, and if that doesn't cut it, broken tendons and bones. It would be better to just go ahead and die than feel this position coming to it's full fruition. I tap out if it even looks like someone's going to do this to me.

    Describe your most hated game in 1 word.

    Interestingly related, I was going to say... Prototype: Prototype That's funny. Alternatively, and perhaps a bit more honest, Starcraft II: Unchanged

    Games that no one remembers...

    40 Winks. A strange little game that was too much fun for its own good.

    You Won't See These Prostitutes in Fable III

    Dude... This post needed to begin with "Fun fact, IN FABLE II I hired two prostitutes..."

    Are there any games you wish you could port to another platform?

    Dead Space: Extraction for the PS3... Wait... They're already doing that... I got nothin'.

    Cartoon Network. I hate you

    That looks... Funny!

    Cartoon Network. I hate you

    Adult Swim is the only part of CN worth mentioning. I still catch Metalocalypse every time they air new episodes, and Superjail is fun, but what the fuck is with "the Drinky Crow Show" and "Assy Mcgee" and "Squidbillies?" there's something very cheap and trite about these shows. I'd put...

    Poll: Are you Homophobic??

    I'm not in the least bit homophobic. Almost all my friends are gay, and I, though straight, am flattered more than bothered when men hit on me. Seriously... they're pickier. Also, "homophobia" is slang. The more accepted term among sociologists right now is "heterosexism." Not sure how...

    NYCC 2010: Dead Space 2 Is "Done"

    YYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Dead Space, and I'm really exited that it's getting so much polish time. I'd hate for a franchise I love so much to go all [Prototype] on us.
