    Escape to the Movies: Straw Dogs

    I could only watch half the video, the original Straw Dogs simply sounds excellent and frankly and I didn't want to spoil it in-case i ever got the chance to see it. But by removing that moral dilemma of how far can you really take your pacifist values, I see the new one as a failure already. I...

    Bethesda Sometimes Doesn't Fix Entertaining Bugs

    I have no problem with this, sometimes you'll find a bug in a game, like TF2, like the spy crab. When these are removed I wonder why. Bugs like that are silly and have no affect on gameplay, in fact, i wonder why time was even wasted to fix it. Maybe by ignoring bugs like this they can spend...

    games with zero replay value

    Damn, I've beaten the original campaign on borderlands at least 5 times! Then the Armory DLC nearly twice after i played it to death the first time before I lost the save file. Especially on hard mode, I found some of the fights quite challenging and so fun. The story that was there was not...

    Escape to the Movies: Green Lantern

    Damn... I kinda got the impression that Bob got back from the theater and wrote this immediately. Is there any chance that you're being too emotional about it? I mean I get the idea, it was bad, and I probably shouldn't waste my time even though I never followed Green Lantern through the...

    Unskippable: Star Wars The Old Republic

    *sigh* I think star wars is actually starting to feel stale... How predictable was that fight? The Master takes on the sith alone when he could have easily escaped with his apprentice, thus condemning himself to a death that would have been heroic had it been necessary. He even tried to impress...

    Poll: Sith Or Jedi?

    Just for the record, there was a Grey Jedi in KotOR 1, but I can't exactly remember his philosophies, or his name (possibly Jolee though). In any case, I've always been more partial to the Jedi. They stand for wisdom, self control, and the defense of thous who cannot defend themselves. It's...

    Has there ever been a dungeon crawler that doesn't rely on potions to keep your health up?

    I think it's a bit unfair to call all dungeon crawlers Diablo clones. We can't honestly expect people to invent a complete set of completely original mechanics with every game. That's like expecting every musician to invent a new genera with each song. So i guess the question is, do they...

    E3: Hitman: Absolution

    The Instinct skill sounds like a useful tool for getting newbies into the game. The skill sounds like it highlights exactly what you can interact with. This allows the environments to look and feel more natural by not needing to highlight items or points of interest at all times. Also it allows...

    E3: Luigi's Mansion 2

    Just for the record, Super Mario Sunshine was my favorite Mario game. I never realized that there was a big crowd that made a stink about the water-pack, but I loved it. It added a new dimension to make the platforming more interesting. I think it also played off on my slight OCD in that I...

    E3: Luigi's Mansion 2

    I'm glad to see this game make a return, I still haven't gotten a 3DS yet but it they keep putting out good games then i may have to get one soon. I really should see if I can still find the original around, but I think I borrowed it from a friend but never beat it. (Is it weird that I feel...

    E3: Microsoft Accidentally Reveals Halo 4

    I thought Bungie wanted to wrap up the series with Reach and didn't want any more Halo games being made.

    can a character be too powerful to be a game protagonist?

    I did not enjoy the new super man movie (can't remember the title but apparently kryptonite grows in water and lex dropped a piece into the ocean or something). My issue is that theres no suspense in the action sequences and no action in the suspense sequences. Superman saves EVERYONE, that's...

    Poll: School of Magic

    Meta-magic... I've thought about something like this. Like the person has no magic themselves but if another person is using magic then they can usurp the spell and take control of it? Very good choice. Maybe they could absorb the magic themselves and become stronger, if only temporarily.Or are...

    Poll: School of Magic

    Don't underestimate the power of illusion. When I picture it, I see myself being able to do things like the obvious split into many fake images. But I also see being slightly telepathic. I would be able to make people see and hear things, obviously only as long as I was aware of them and...

    Daily Drop: Daily Drop: Behind the Scenes

    my god... that thing in the shop vac was the most beautifully disgusting thing I've ever seen! For whatever reason I just find that kind of disgusting hilarious to look at, I couldn't stop laughing. I can't explain why but I find things like that endlessly entertaining. I am very glad that we...
