    Overwatch Christmas Comic Reveals First LGBT Character

    I think what really sold this to me as a really good representation of a lesbian character was that we got a long time to know Tracer independent of knowledge about her relationships. Then she just casually gets a girlfriend added to her story. She exists as a character independent of her...

    First Battlefield 1 Story Trailer Shows Off the Campaign and Characters

    An arabic female... is a main character. I mean I guess this is historic fantasy at this point because that's one of those things that absolutely did not happen. If you want a female soldier, the Russians had female combat battalions. They didn't last long but they existed and from what I...

    Feminists next target; Battlefield 1.

    Knee Jerk reaction? Both sides are so primed to go at eachother merely a hint at a future possible conflict is like blood in the water. See women being playable as the line drawn in what is looking to be a weird anachronistic boom fest in a war that was anything but is kind of silly. I was...

    Blizzard Removes "Avoid this Player" Option from Overwatch

    I once again will say... I feel so bad for you, because it sucks seeing people have such a rotten experience online.

    Resident Evil 7 Preview - Wear Your Brown Pants

    So... how is this Resident Evil if its super natural and doesn't have zombies? What the hell?

    Blizzard Removes "Avoid this Player" Option from Overwatch

    This is what I don't understand man. You either just have a temperament that leads people to come after you, an exceptionally thin skin, or the worst luck in the world. Seriously I suck at DOTA2 and that game environment is up there as the pinnacle of people getting hateful for a loss. I...

    Warcraft - Keep Grinding

    See I'm a huge lore fan and the changes they made to the characters and the story just don't make sense to me. They added in more complications than were really necessary. We didn't have to see ironforge, we didn't have to see Dalaran which is flying for some reason. We didn't have to have a...

    Poll: So, you're the last man (woman) on Earth, left with everyone of the opposite sex...

    Its situation where in one case one male and number of females, conceivably there could be some continuity to the species. The human species is 100% over if there is only one woman left and a bunch of men. Regardless of whether or not the woman is willing to be pregnant for the rest of her...

    Star Wars Battlefront 3 Fan Remake Reportedly Steam Bound

    That actually has nothing to do with it apparently when it comes to copy right. Its just a quick way to get attention on you, where you can usually slide by if you don't charge for things. Thing is, if Valve is willing to release it I wonder if they have an ace in their sleeve or an agreement...

    Battlefield 1 Revealed in Launch Trailer

    I really look forward to having to press "A" to put a gas mask on so my lungs don't melt moment. I seem to be somewhat in the minority by the thinking setting stuff in World War 1 is almost contrary to the fast paced first person gameplay of battlefield. The kind of tactics that are displayed...

    Ghostbusters Director Calls Out "Assholes in Geek Culture"

    This thread seems to have a whole lot of self flagellation. People claiming geek culture has an asshole problem are being every bit as vitriolic, castigating and shaming as the culture they are "critiquing". Sorry it just strikes me as a bit insincere when people are pretty vicious in their...

    Vermintide Getting Three New DLC Maps

    Drachenfels... I wonder if its going to have anything to do with the actual Drachenfels character. I mean I kind of doubt it, but it would be really cool if we actually got to see something Vampire related in the whole mess.

    James Bond cannot be genderbent

    I think that's a pretty reasonable take on it. He's not really a complicated character that needs deconstructd, he's just an archetype, kind of like Indiana Jones.

    Dawn of War III Announced in New Trailer

    Whelp we have wraith knights, and Imperial Knights... Can't wait for El Catalcylsmo in the next expansion. Yeah.... just a little bit stoked that the big boys get to show up in this one, AND the Eldar getting some love. Hopefully we get wraithblades and a full on unique Eldar campaign!

    Blizzard to Remove "Sexy" Tracer Pose in Overwatch - Update

    For the most part this pose fits a bit more with Tracer's character. Its more of a call back to 1940's pinup girls that would often get painted on planes, and tbh I think a big portion of Tracer's character design is based on those ww2 airplane pinup girls. It was a logical choice to make, I...
