    So, just watched Frozen, I think the hype backlash has died down, what do you guys think of it?

    I thought it was good, even for a Disney movie, up there with Tangled for me, not quite Lion King or Beauty and the Beast. Songs were good, singers superb (I like Idina, OK?), plot refreshingly playing off my preconceptions of a story arc. Liked it on all levels, but didn't think it was quite as...

    Wolfenstein: The New Order Panzerhund Edition Costs $100, Doesn't Include Game

    Can't help but think this is a great idea. Most collectors' editions I've wanted to actually buy I've wanted after already playing the game, at which point buying the game again is redundant. The price is very steep for sure, but I wouldn't mind the collector package being separate from the...

    Your favorite song(s) in a language you don't understand

    Estonia's 2009 ESC entry, Rändajad by Urban Symphony. Been hooked on this thing ever since it aired. Still no clue what they are singing (something about a mountain I believe), but I gleefully sing along. Great thread btw.

    Bethesda Exec Defends Elder Scrolls Online's Subscription Model

    Is this true? I haven't played the game, but I'd really like to know if I can move to a small town and start an inn, running that by taking care of weary travellers, brewing mead and maybe hire another player to be a bard. Can I really go where I want and do what I want? Or does he mean "Go...

    Star Wars: The Old Republic Unveils Big Plans For 2014

    Finally making a Mac client would win me over. Seriously, that's mostly what keeps me subscribing to WoW at this point.

    I... quit WoW today

    Good luck to you on your new life choice. I hope you make the most of it. If the game isn't floating your boat anymore, and if you made my mistake of forsaking other relations to play the game, go make yourself a better life, you will be happier for it.

    Games you love, but no one else seems to know about or remember.

    The Return to Castle Wolfenstein multi-player. I loved that game to bits. Useful classes, teamplay trumped Rambos, each map had an objective that was larger than player lives or kill counts. Best FPS ever, and freaking Battlefield got the press and the mass love. Later, when they failed to make...

    The Big Picture: Secrets of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    So sad to note the two Punisher movies. One brilliant where a man gets by on sheer determination and being pissed off, exacting the sweetest revenge plot of all time. And a reboot sequel wherein the same guy trades all his above qualities in for a bulletproof vest and enemies with horrible aim.

    The Big Picture: Secrets of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I'm by no means an expert on superhero comics, but this past easter I found an old Spider-Man comic while visiting my parents. I fell completely in love with Cardiac, a hero-villain who wishes good but uses extreme measures. It's not him, he dresses rather better than this guy, but otherwise...

    Parents preparing for the end of the world.

    Talk to your siblings. Your mother's a lost cause, I'm afraid (in terms of convincing her the world won't end before christmas), but they aren't. Have them write down their fears and thoughts in diaries. Won't help much this year, but it will be a great help on the next doomsday that these...

    Poll: Fallout3 vs. Fallout:New Vegas

    I have to give the nod to FO3. As intended, NV would win hands down. It has the better characters, the better environment, better skill tree, better weight system etc. But for all its unpolished flaws, Fallout 3 had far fewer and less destructive bugs. Hell, upon re-playing New Vegas to side...

    Favorite Miracle of Sound song?

    Really? I assumed it was a band with him as front person and lyricist. This makes him even more awesome.

    Favorite Miracle of Sound song?

    So many to choose from. Age of the Dragon, Joker's Song, Nord Mead, Trip to Vegas...every other song they record becomes a new favorite.

    How many homophobic people are there actually?

    Islam seems to be getting the most flak. It's getting better, but there is a very vocal minority who are convinced Norway will be under Taliban rule in about five years if muslims get accepted. This isn't politically acceptable to say, so there's no big political party saying it, but I can't...

    Games you keep returning to?

    NBA 2k12. Sure, it's more or less the same graphics, the same menus, the same controls and same scenario as previous games of the series and NBA Live, but I keep buying the latest installment, and I keep returning to the game when I have two hours that need passing. That's not to say I don't...
