    25 Top RPGs of the Last Five Years

    An Elder Scrolls game on a top RPG list, of course. Again. An Elder Scrolls game on top of a top RPG list, just shoot me, please. Brb, going to go generate a couple thousand square miles of mostly empty terrain in a really nice graphics engine with barebones AI and make billions. Dark...

    Child of Light Review - Light Entertainment

    Combat sounds exactly like the Grandia series. Grandia's system was clever, so technically so is Child of Light's, but giving no mention of Grandia makes it sound like this game invented it. Heck, the developer just straight out says it comes from Grandia 2...

    Jimquisition: Why PC Gaming Gets Away With It

    Why do you need to say something so obvious? Because PC is still heavily stigmatized, and young gamers either A) aren't secure enough about their schoolyard "rep" to be the "hipster" PC gamer, or B) can't convince their parents to buy into it (that old PCs are for work, consoles are for play...

    Jimquisition: Damn Fine Coffee

    Oh god, that's what happened to this game? I was in a focus group for this exact game when it still looked like the first clip, before they had anything playable (I think this was in 2010 or 2011). Believe me, I would NOT have told them to make something like Fuse. I just didn't care much...

    I'm beginning to hate Valve.

    Dude... not cool. Valve is the only game development studio willing to employ the handicapped. It's pretty obvious Gabe Newell doesn't know how to count to 3, and he's very sensitive about it. Half-life 2 Left 4 Dead 2 Portal 2 Team Fortress 2 DotA 2 Counter-Strike "Global Offensive"...

    God Game Reus Asks You, Mighty One, To Aid Puny Humans

    I've played it, and it's great, but it doesn't reveal its rogue-like nature in the marketing material. This game plays out very much like FTL, XCOM, or the many other repeat-playthrough games coming out recently. You have 30 minutes to complete any combination of objectives available (each of...

    Monster Hunter Online Video Teases Dragons Big and Small

    Well, why shouldn't they? The game doesn't sell over here, and Monster Hunter fans don't seem to be doing a lot to change that. The cost of localization would not be worth it if only the very, very small percentage of current MH players (which itself is a tiny community in the west) with...

    3DS game recommendations

    Not nearly enough people recommending Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate :( I'm recommending it to every 3DS owner.

    Poll: Skyrim vs Saint's Row the Third

    I find it sad that people say Skyrim is longer when I could only force myself to play it for about 6 or 7 hours, purely because I was making videos out of it, before I decided it just wasn't worth it because the game was boring me to death. Saints Row, on the other hand, has me dying to play...

    Anime Argument #173

    Poll: If you've ever downloaded something illegally, YOU are to blame for SOPA/PIPA.

    Lots of people completely missing the point here. The question is NOT "Is SOPA justified?" It's not, we all agree on that. The question is "Is piracy the reason SOPA was created?" Yes, it is.

    Cruiseliner disaster: "Women and children first" Still relevant today?

    I thought it was more of a male instinct to protect women. Everyone talking about equality, or treating women like children, or the "weaker" sex... am I the only one that places more value on a woman's life than a man's? Male, by the way. EDIT: Herpederp I really ought to learn to check...

    Stupidest reason you've ever been insulted

    I get insulted ALL THE TIME for taking something fallacious someone else has said and applying logic and good debate form to it. They'll call me names and try to change the subject for several minutes until they realize I'm not falling for it, get their last word (usually more name-calling)...

    Everything You Know about Anime Is Wrong

    For anyone that thinks all anime is "anime," give this just 20 minutes of your time. If it didn't have the visual style you would never believe it was made in Japan. It's something between Quentin Tarantino and classic film noir. Keep in mind this is the fifth episode, if it interests you...
