Hey, remember when a certain nameless gaming E-Zine published what they thought was a smoking hot scoop on Cloud Imperium Games and Star Citizen? Remember how their "scoop" turned out to be a fake article that quoted anonymous reviews on Glassdoor and claimed to back up anonymous sources with...

I feel your pain, bartholen. I recently completed a playthrough of Witcher 3: Game of the Year Edition. My total playtime to complete the core game and both expaions: 147 hours 53 minutes. You have a long road ahead of you, but a glorious one.

Nintendo engaging in Artificial Scarcity bulls&$*? Why am I not surprised?

The worst part about this fiasco, I think is that thanks to EA's absolutely gargantuan Marketing machine, this phoned-in piece of crap game is going to still sell like hotcakes and spawn an entire series of sequels.

As someone who doesn't like either RWBY or The Asterisk War, TAW really didn't come off well. RWBY at least does something interesting with the setting. TAW makes little sense and seems to me like a rip off of the X-Men, only with all the elements that made X-men interesting and compelling...

Well EXCUSE ME! I'm sure Mr. Rothenberg will never read this, but he and men like him brought this on themselves by refusing to police their adserv services and allowing advertising companies to flood the internet with ads that execute malicious code, broswer session hijacks and those...

Do I have to choose? They're both horrendous and make the doubt the mental health of anyone who enjoys them?

I'm a big-time horror fan, so it takes a lot to squick me out. However, there is one movie I am unable to sit all the way through. Trouble Every Day. You might call it an erotic thriller, but it's erotic only in the sense that Hellraiser is Erotic. It's a French thriller about an American...

I'm going to throw shit at GW for taking a unique and interesting visual design and chucking it in the trash in favor of a design that seems to have been ripped off from Chronopia. A nearly forgotten miniatures game from the 90's that tried to compete with Warhammer Fantasy and failed.

Changing the subject slightly to tabletop gaming, there is one RPG that is desperately in need of a re-boot in my opinion. Shadowrun. Don't get me wrong, I love Shadowrun. The way the world combines Cyberpunk, Native American mythology and Fantasy is totally unique and gives the setting a...

I can understand if someone does not understand what others see in something or someone. We all have that friend who's a diehard rightist or leftist and whose views leave us flabbergasted every time. I will never understand the fascination many people have with 50 Shades of Grey. I can...

Honestly, Sentay, too many Tabletop RPGs today are populated with a strange and illogical collection of meta-human races. A common assumption is that you need to cover all your bases with different nerd obsessions and have Elves and Cat People and Dragon People and Dwarves ETC. To me this is...

Honestly, I have no trouble with DBZ. I never watched it as a kid because I've always felt that Akira Toriyama's art style is incredibly ugly but it's just something that I don't care much about either way. Now the series I would argue is the worst anime series ever is Neon Genesis...

I stopped playing Magic around 15 years ago, and this article reminded me why.

I've been splitting my time between Alien: Isolation and Rise of the Triad HD.
