    The Big Picture: American Sniper Sucks (And It's Okay To Admit That)

    Seriously, it was extremely satisfying seeing Bob cram Palin in there, his sheer butthurt was the sole reason I watched this review.

    Escapist News Now: Dota 2 Finals With $5 Million On the Line

    Those are not the type of teams that will throw a game. Once they're ahead, they're ahead, there is no throwing. Once someone has established a comfortable lead that's it - the game is already over and the next thirty minutes will be a slow and painful death. I kinda wished iG got into the...

    Am I A Terrible Person For Not Caring?

    Not really, especially considering that the gaming media has blown the issue out of proportion to the point where it's really hard to take any gender-related issues presented in the gaming community seriously.

    Miracle of Sound: The Beauty of Modded Skyrim - Winter Still

    Alright, I'm about 200% sure you don't take requests, seeing how you probably have about a thousand ideas, but I was thinking, can you do a music video about Homeworld?

    Former Id Software Creative Director Joins Oculus VR

    I don't mind this website trying to be a little hipsterific, but to report this and NOT John Carmack's departure is, well, I can't put it into words.

    Geek Girls Lambast Prejudice in Music Video

    I just find the concept of this hillarious. It's a movie about how Geek Girls don't need approval set to a song that can't stop chanting "I have nothing to prove" to...prove to us that they aren't fake geek girls.

    Random BS people say that you get fed up with.

    Then pray tell, why don't the Chinese have space ships? Or the Africans? Not only do they NOT have a Church, but their own belives are not dogmatic in a way that'd hinder scientific progress? Point is the Dark Ages are not a result of Christianity, it is the result of internal strife, foreign...

    Random BS people say that you get fed up with.

    "If it wasn't for the Church we would be so much more advanced" No, no it wouldn't. Asia didn't have Christianity, why aren't they more advanced than us? The Native Americans didn't, the Africans did. In fact the Church is one of the best things that could have happened to the medieval European.

    White People! Are you offended being called a "Cracka"?

    I can identify nationalities for nationalities I have interacted with, it's neither a hobby, nor a profession for me, just something I've picked up along the way. Also, seeing how your argument seems to be "is frankly, laughable" and calling me ignorant, may I suggest leaving the apartment...

    White People! Are you offended being called a "Cracka"?

    I haven't had the pleasure of interacting with kurds.

    White People! Are you offended being called a "Cracka"?

    That's a Turk. That's a Czech. I'm sorry, but it's hard to take your claim of me being ignorant seriously, when I have observed people from various nations being able to identify nationality with a very large degree of success on sight.

    White People! Are you offended being called a "Cracka"?

    Just so you know, "America" is neither the center of the world, nor is the world one big global America. In most places there is a difference between being a citizen of a nation and being the ethos defining the nation. For the most part, yes, you can tell if someone is Russian or a citizen by...

    Thief Project Lead Says a New Game Needs New Combat

    Yes, you're buying what the devs are saying. It's just a pretty way to say they have a robust combat system that ate half the development budget. You'd be as vulnorable and exposed as you were in Assassin's Creed.

    Ever had a game (or a major portion of a game) that you enjoyed more 2nd time through?

    Most Grand Strategies from Paradox, it's nice to know what you're doing.

    Why would you give a kid access to an iPhone? At all? I'm serious here, someone explain this to me?
