    Watch Dogs PC Modders Find Hidden "E3" Settings, Improve Performance - Update

    Thank You! I was waiting for someone to say this. As a software dev, no way this is legit.

    Game of Thrones Abridged: "The Watchers on the Wall" - Arrows! Giants! Lovable Characters Dying!

    This video was fantastic, but one small complaint. His name is SamWELL not SamWISE.

    Poll: Have you ever walked out of a movie at the cinema?

    I was really close to walking out of Avatar. I went in knowing nothing and then I was just incredibly bored. I would have left, but my friend who drove me there wanted to stay. If I walked out without him, I'd have no way home.

    Favorite Machine Character

    I've gotta go with Legion from Mass Effect. As a student studying Computer Science and Cognitive Science, I have a huge soft spot for AI, and the whole subplot with the Geth and Quarians was my favorite thing about the Mass Effect story. Legion is the man. That unit has a soul.

    Poll: Would you Rather

    This just makes me think of when I was in middle school, kids used to say that a sneeze was one 8th of an orgasm. If that were true, it would have some pretty wild implications for what having an orgasm would do to you if you chose the gender sneezing option. Would your gender switch 8 times...

    Poll: What's Your Deal With Easy Mode

    I played easy modes when I was a little kid, but not anymore. It's good that its there so little kids and really unskilled players can see the whole game, but it doesn't belong in every game.

    The Big Picture: Brainiacs: The Once & Future Nerds

    So I go to RPI (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) and as I understand it, it's a pretty popular opinion the the word knurd was coined at RPI. The word appeared in an RPI publication (The RPI Bachelor), being used pretty much as we would use it today, as early as 1965. Additionally there's a...

    Poll: The worst offender of "geek" themed entertainment.

    On The Big Bang Theory: The show is crap now, I agree, but in all honesty it wasn't always so bad. Yes it always used stereotypes, but that's because its a god damn comedy, it did it to be funny. In the beginning of the that show, they did it right, all the little details and references about...

    English Words You've Heard Mangled

    My friend referred to "turrets" as "Tourettes" for the longest time. It was extremely annoying.

    Creepiest Moments You've Had... in Non-Horror Games

    Can't think of any really specific moments, but this reminds me of when I first started playing Minecraft and didn't know about all the dungeons and creatures yet. Getting lost underground and finding Mines for the first time filled with spiders was kinda creepy.

    Poll: Men and women being freinds

    Having female friends only really worked for me after I started dating my girlfriend. Cause now its clear that I'm not gonna try anything on them and Even if I have some attraction I'm not about to cheat on my girlfriend.

    Stupidist things youve heard people say

    On my school bus when I was a senior in high school: Freshman girl 1: "So you know how dogs need to fuck each other in the asses to have babies?" Freshman girl 2: "Yea" Freshman girl 1: "Do you think if a guy fucked a dog in the ass they'd have half man half dog babies?" Freshman girl 2...

    Can you defend yourself?

    I'd like to think so, but in reality, probably not. I've never been in a fight before. The closest thing was the one time I punched a guy in the stomach. He didn't punch back though. He felt he deserved the blow.

    What kind of sex life do you have?

    I've had a girlfriend for about 6 months now. We both go to college and have roommates so privacy can be difficult to find. We usually manage to have sex once or twice a week. Can't complain about that.

    games that left you stunned, staring at the credits in awe

    Arkham City, but not in a good way. I couldn't believe the way it ended. I did not like that ending. In a good way, Assassin's Creed 2 comes to mind, as does Half Life 2: Episode 2.
