Goddammit THIS! If you're going to spread cheek to the luddites in parliament and enforce a 10% GST on digital purchases (Something that is one of the most pants-on-head retarded things I've ever heard) at the very least you can allow us to make purchases in local currency!

Just saying 'TES' is a bit of a cop-out, don't you think? There are Elder scrolls games I've sunken days into, and there are elder scrolls games that can't keep my interest past the initial tutorial, Think you might have cast the net a bit wide there. N-No I don't! I swear I didn't see a...

Using a continent with a number of official 'Failed States' and the atrocities which occur therein as an example of societal collapse, particularly when a significant percentage of international aid goes to attempting to stem said atrocities is simply pointing out facts, not racism, chief.

Oh shit son, me either. I was just saying I get the resentment, because I felt it once upon a time myself. Agreed. And it's a shame because it really does hold folks nack from so much.

Hey fellow Ausfailian, just a quick one for you. How tolerant are people of white shites mangling the language? Reason I ask is I'm looking at a holiday in Japan and I usually try and steer clear of tourist traps and immerse myself as much as I can in the local culture. This backfired...

As so many people above have pointed out, I can't speak for everyone, but for myself, I was resentful when 'Geek Chic' started becoming a thing. Why? Because I fucking bled for it. I was the one whose locker was doused in human waste. I was the one who was driven along the street like a calf at...

Oh sweet machine god, SO MUCH THIS. So much of the featured content of late has felt like 'I'm a featured contributor, worship me!' veiled snipe, veiled snipe, disparage audience. Bob on his soapbox, Jim going off half-cocked and taking it so far OTT that he may as well have just been playing...

Quoted for motherfuckin truth. All of the other options. ALL of them, would be mitigated if not outright eliminated if we had a gaming press which actually went to bat for the consumer, instead of looking like they treat their readerbase like a necessary evil whilst fellating developers and...

The only way that ME4 can be developed as a DIRECT sequel is to basically 'Canon railroad' ME1-3. Most of the fantastical elements will likely be retconned or otherwise handwaved. Bioware have already established a precedent here as I'm pretty sure they're doing a similar thing with DA:I (You...

The Colonial Lodge were pretty solidly 'good guy' templars. Idealistic and genuinely concerned with the wellbeing of humanity. It's only after they started amassing huge amounts of power (IE, when the USA started being a world powerhouse) that they started getting all mind rapey and human...

Twilight. All of them. Not because the movies were inherently 'good', but because the source was SO BAD. A polished, deodorized turd is better than a steaming dripping one after all.

The actress who played Rachel Coriolis was a porn star?! I am totally not looking that up right now. Nope, completely not fulfilling a childhood fantasy of seeing her naked. Totally not. I will admit the series kind of 'Died' for me after they removed Blair from the protaganist's chair. I...

Are you guys talking about the one after you're tripping balls and fighting the giant? Or the one after you decide to cut your girlfriend's throat? Because neither seemed decidedly rapey to me... I mean Jason seems to have no objections to the former, and he's flat out LOVING the latter... Well...

Sime~Gen is 'misunderstood vampires' and their speshul snowflake sidekicks IN SPAAAAACE! No thanks. Ms. Hepler is an unremarkable writer who believes that game writing at the level of such literary diarrhoea such as Stephanie Meyer is something to 'aspire' to. Even if the first was insufficient...

You... You're a special kind of awesome, and I think I wish to subscribe to your newsletter *Citizen Kane applause*
