    Cosplaying "Gunmen" Arrested At Ottawa Comic Convention

    Yea I was at that convention when that happened. I think those people were just idiots when they went out like that especially after what happened at Parliament Hill last year. At least no one got hurt over this ordeal.

    How do you feel about autistic people?

    In my line of work I see a whole spectrum of different people with autism. Some people are just fine with no serious problems but they have to try extra hard in some areas (ie like social areas) that we take for granted. Then you have people that have moderate autism and they usually have some...

    Poll: Canadia

    Well we have some good beer here. Oh and... Poutine the best food period. Add what ever you want to it and it just improves the dish.

    Is Rockstar's removal of 18 songs from the Steam version of San Andreas legal?

    Great now you gave pirates more incentive to pirate the game, heck I think they now have the better version of the game now. Good job rockstar, what a great way to burn bridges before the release of GTA 5.

    No Right Answer: Subbing Vs. Dubbing

    I can't watch subs. I have a hard time paying too much attention on the words on the screen than the actual animation and some of the Japanese voices rub me the wrong way. At least with dub I can pay attention to whats happening on screen.

    New Nintendo 3DS PAX Aus Hands On: Unimpressive Upgrades

    A "New" 3DS. Are you kidding me? Geez Nintendo, fire the person that naming all your new systems. You are just going to end up confusing the uninformed masses. Seriously what happens when I own this thing for a few years, does it become a Old "New" 3DS? I'm also sorry to hear that this extra...

    what are the worst pvp maps that everybody played on all the time?

    I can't stand turbine from TF2. The whole match can boil down to a stalemate because half of the enemy (and ally) team are engineers or getting spawned camped. Top that off with only two ways to get the flag, and you got yourself a crappy map.

    Biggest video game regret

    Well buying Bioshock Infinite. Man that game was just very meh. Getting rid of my SNES was one of the worst decision I made when I was younger. So many good games that I missed that would have made nostalgia if I were to play them today.

    What do people want from MMO's?

    Something along the line of EVE online and less of WoW. I like the idea of the player base creating a meta game and playing the game around that. Also I would like less of a gear treadmill. One of the major gripes I have with WoW is you leave for two months or take a break from it and come back...

    Are We Entering The New PC Golden Age?

    PC golden age? No. PC gaming becoming more popular in the last decade? Yes We are still getting shitty ports of console games and some games are still poorly optimize, and then we have the shovel ware on steam that now cropping up. But all pessimism aside, I do find more people looking at...

    Games You Won't Watch LPs of.

    I won't watch an LP of games that are heavy on story. I don't like the idea of not experiencing the story first hand especially when the story is the main selling point of the game ie. The Walking Dead. However I will not watch LPs on games that I am not planing to get.

    Simple Question: Why can't we all just have fun anymore?

    Why can't people have just fun? Because people like to argue and complain about things. I'm not saying all people are like this and there are people that just keep their hands clean and to them self's. However you are always going to have that one person that likes to instigate and get everyone...

    Poll: Cross-Dressing Gamers Unite!

    I would chose to play the opposite when it offers a different lens on the game, ie other characters react differently, or if I have a certain character in mind. But I can say that a good 80% of the time I usually play as a character the same gender as mine.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition's Co-op Multiplayer Sounds Familiar - Update

    Just no. Just fucking no. Why the hell does a rpg need multi-player for. Clearly sounds like you won't actually be to role play an actual character but going to be given generic characters to play as. No thanks. I had no interest in ME3 multi-player and when I did play it it got old fast...

    Lack of Gay Character Options in RPGs "A Shame," Says BioWare Producer

    The problem comes when you make the character's defining trait as gay. I find that the character is just there to make a social commentary and nothings else. I know that this has been mentioned before but look no further than Fallout New Vegas. Veronica was a lesbian and she only mentioned it...
