    Mass Effect Andromeda Deluxe edition 25% off only 2 days after launch

    It will never happen, but EA/Bioware could always fix the ME3 ending, by re-doing the entire thing even though the game has been out for years already, and then produce a proper sequel. One of the benefits of "Andromeda" is that being set in another galaxy it can always be treated as a spin-off...

    The Purge - Election Year - Politics Kill

    That was my first thought, it said something about "officials beyond level X" being un-purgable as part of the basic premise. Seems like they are breaking their own rules.

    Could V for Vendetta challenge the government of 1984

    The movie version of "V" probably couldn't, the comic version of "V" on the other hand is a pure anarchist and just as whacked as the government he's fighting. He's also got backdoor control of the supercomputer Susan uses to run the government. In Batman terms he "just wants to watch the...

    Chinese Mobile Game Legend of Titan is a Blatant Overwatch Clone

    Ironically I was just reading an article not long ago about how China developed the world's fastest Supercomputer and did it without using any outside technology (chips, etc...) which means that now two of the three fastest supercomputers on the planet are Chinese (the second fastest is also...

    Bethesda Details Next Fallout 4 DLC

    I have to confess I'm a little disappointed with all of the building-related mods for Fallout 4, I've had a hard time with controlling the settlement creator and continue to find it somewhat pointless as well. I want to see new adventure packs to explore and loot, leave the building to the...

    Hail Hydra

    Well the thing is that they just rebooted the universe, and did the reveal in such a way that it sets the new Cap's history as having been a Hydra agent all along. The previous continuity that makes this impossible (as opposed to simply improbable) no longer exists after the whole universe...

    Hail Hydra

    The point a lot of people seem to miss in this is that Marvel just nuked it's entire universe and re-launched it as "All New, All different". This Captain America isn't the one we have the previous history with, he's a complete reboot with this as a #1 in his own series. Don't forget that the...

    Power levels of characters and their inherent unimportance

    For a while now I've felt that if they moved Wonder Woman to Vertigo and played up the Lesbian BDSM angle they might increase her sales substantially. Given the origins/creator this makes sense, and I've also noticed we live in another era of sexual liberation (this time for alternate...

    Power levels of characters and their inherent unimportance

    Well, for a long time I've pointed out that Lex Luthor has been Superman's arch-enemy for a really long time, and has even beaten him on several occasions (leading to Superman needing to be rescued, or Lex having to give up his plan for one reason or another). I never saw Batman vs. Superman as...

    CD Projekt Red CEO: Cyberpunk 2077 will be "More Ambitious on Every Single Front"

    Yes and no, the game is supposed to be based on the Cyberpunk RPG, formerly known as Cyberpunk 2020, I remember reading this and it's also sort of a give away given the way they write "Cyberpunk" in the ads which is the same as the RPG. So while not tied down by novels, they are apparently...

    CD Projekt Red CEO: Cyberpunk 2077 will be "More Ambitious on Every Single Front"

    I believe the answer is neither. The "girl" involved in this is supposed to be a victim of cyberpsychosis and having gone berserk, something that happens when you load up on too much cyberware that it affects your mind. The police are putting her down. It's not that unusual an occurance and the...

    "Mokoto Kusanagi can be white" Yeah okay, I'll let you have that...(Rant)

    As I've said before, I'm against ethnicity swapping and so on. Makoto should be played by a Japanese actress and is bi-sexual, vastly preferring other women. I'm undecided if I'll see this yet, but I think casting Scarlet Johanssen in the role is a mistake despite her being one of the current...

    Study About 'Sexist Games' is Severely Flawed

    The problem with this study as I see it is there is no way to guarantee the people involved with "blank slates" beforehand, and what's more the belief that only one or two play sessions of specific missions could have any kind of lasting impact on the people involved. It's like saying that the...

    what's the most cliche rogue race?

    Halflings/Hobbits are the quintessential rogues, going back to The Hobbit and the dwarves picking one up as a "Burgler" simply on natural talent (albeit following Gandalf's advice). Following that of course you have Kender from Dragonlance which are a race specifically designed to be rogues...

    20 Outrageous Tweets by Microsoft's Twitter-Taught AI Chatbox

    That's pretty much my thoughts on the subject. To be honest I'm surprised we haven't yet seen a campaign demanding the AI be restored as if this is truly an AI (or is being claimed to be one) your looking at the abuse of a self-aware being. Even at this primitive state Tay has the right to speak...
