    Feed Dump: Stark Dynasty

    This proves that no matter how much you fail to contribute to society you can still band together and steal a sign that means nothing to most people.

    EA Admits That SimCity Could Have Been Offline

    I'm not going to whine about always on DRM. If I like the game and have friends that are going to play too, then always on DRM doesn't really matter much to me. There are games (like SimCity) that should really have a single player mode (seems like a good way to waste time on a flight, for...

    What's the meaning of your username?

    I think I did it as a way to describe poor examples of proof on forums. Not really sure now. I might have been drinking when I signed up.

    BioWare Announces Post-Ending DLC for Mass Effect 3 [Updated!]

    I agree that the ending was pretty sparse in terms of answers, so I am glad they are adding details. I think there was already some sense in the ending (I know almost no one agrees), but you go from against all odds fighting your way to the end as a hero then - flash of light - and you're...

    Escape to the Movies: The Phantom Menace 13 Years Later

    I enjoyed this re-review from Movie Bob -- trying to convince people to let go of the hate. You don't have to like it but there is worse out there. I'd rewatch Phantom Menace again over a lot of other movies out there... and I'm no fan boy of Star Wars. On the other hand, I don't know that...

    The Escapist Presents: 5 Favorites of 2011: Greg

    I have to admit, I'm one of those PC players that wrote off DA2 as a poor console port. I played the demo and it felt like too big of a change. I continued to read both the bashing and the high praise of the game and finally picked it up at a discount. I liked DA:O enough that I had to at...

    Gamer Drops $16,000 on Virtual Sword for Unreleased Game

    The first thing that came to mind after I read this was not how the guy might be buying an unfair advantage or that the sword has amazing stats. It was that I couldn't believe he actually spent that kind of money on a virtual item. I know, someone may chime in that people should be able to...

    Australian Attorney General Calls For Violent Videogame Ban

    Using GTA4 as an example as I go off on a short tangent: I'll admit that I avoided the GTA games for a while because they seemed to be crap for crap's sake, but when I played GTA4 I realized that there was a great story buried in all of the stuff that the media crucifies games for. I even...

    Zero Punctuation: Rage

    I had Rage on my top list of games to buy. The launch was rough with lots of negative feedback, especially for the PC. So I crossed Rage off my "need to buy" list and will save it for a Steam bargain bin sale later. Yahtzee seemed to hold back a bit here, maybe out of nostalgic respect for...

    BioWare Wants Fan Input on Sexy Anime-Style Mass Effect Statue

    I really don't want anime in my Mass Effect. But I understand that it's just a statue that (hopefully) has nothing to do with my ME gaming. But if ME4 (or even ME3) exhibits any hint of anime style, I'd definitely be out. I don't need to see Liara with a huge single bead of sweat hanging...

    Blizzard Releasing Six Titles Before 2014

    Actually, if you look at it as 2 WoW expansions, 2 SC2 expansions, and Diablo 3 and one expansion, its really not all that impressive. Just because a "leaked" schedule included the mystery "Titan" does not mean it is either real or on schedule. I'm going with the many expansions and the...

    Extra Punctuation: Golden Era of PC Gaming

    I really like this article because I usually try to do these types of things in game. You know, the kind of stuff that screws up the gameplay enough that you might have to reload because you can't progress further (but you're laughing your butt off) -- but it doesn't screw things up enough that...

    Zero Punctuation: Catherine

    I was hoping he'd be a bit more obnoxious toward the game... it sounds like he actually played all the way through. At least the last few lines made the review worth it even if he didn't go into full-on hate mode.

    Rage Cuts Single-Player When You Buy It Used

    There's no reason for me to buy it new because I only want to play (what I assume is) a small portion of the game -- single player. So that means no used copy for me... or I'll buy it for $5 next year during the Steam summer sale for my PC. I'm assuming that renting it from Redbox will also...

    Name Game: Fighting Nonsense with More Nonsense

    It's "debates" like this on Fox News that make even Fox's Bill O'Reilly look moderate in comparison. Not necessarily related to video games and art, but related to Fox News and video games: Just wait until Fox News gets a hold of the new Duke Nukem game. Remember when they got riled up over...
