    Your opinion: The most overused phrase in gaming.

    One of my friends is really bad about this. "Dude, you gotta play _____, it's fantastic." "Is it really linear?" "Well, I mean, it's level/mission based and follows a plot..." "Meh. I'm not interested then." Unrelated, this same friend refuses to even try Arkham City because he thinks...

    It's senior year and I picked the wrong major

    Hey. I'm in my first week of my last two semesters of college. Right now, I'm majoring in Psychology. I really think that was the wrong choice. My whole higher-learning story: I graduated in 2010 and took a year off to work, not knowing what I wanted to do. I decided computer science would be...

    Have you bought anything from the humble bundle sale?

    I came thiiiiiis close to getting Wildstar, but I'm going home for Christmas for most of the one month of free play. If it was buy2play I totally would have. I'll probably get Volgar the Viking later today. We'll see what's on offer the rest of the sale, I've still got a pretty big backlog of...

    Nintendo Will Eventually Discontinue Less Popular Amiibos - Update 4

    This angers me greatly. I really wanted a villager! Why would they discontinue them after only like three weeks? And with no warning? A lot of people (especially, you know, kids) aren't getting Smash until Christmas. Now they may never get a figure of their favorite character...

    Poll: Have you got Super Smash Bros Wii-U?

    As much as I want it, I don't have the money right now. When I do get it, I want to go all-out and get the game, Gamecube controller adapter, and an amiibo, and I don't have ~$100 in spending money. Browsing the internet today makes me feel like the sad child standing out in the snow...

    Do you watch english language films (or your native language) with subtitles?

    I do pretty often. I keep my TV pretty low for the neighbor's sake, and I want to make sure I catch all the dialog. Especially with movies and shows that like to have super quiet dialog and MASSIVELY LOUD SOUND EFFECTS AND MUSIC

    Poll: Which will go free-to-play/buy-to-play first: ESO or Wildstar?

    I'm interested in trying both of these games, but not interested in $60 + sub fees. I feel like most people feel this way about MMOs in this day and age. It seems like unless you're World of Warcraft (and only World of Warcraft) it's only a matter of time before subscribing becomes optional...

    Poll: Portal Vs Portal 2

    I'm gonna paraphrase JonTron's view on Banjo Kazooie: "The second one is bigger, better designed, there's more to it; it's everything a squeal should be. But I like the first one more." The first one was just such a surprise, and as OP said, just as long as it needed to be. Portal 2 was...

    MMOs and you

    I've dabbled in a few. I just got of a two week SWTOR binge. I never stick with them very long though. I can't stand the repetitiveness, and the communities are usually made up of screaming 14-year-olds trying to see who can be the edgiest and smug neckbeards who always tell you you're...

    Poll: Do you enjoy Moviebob's content?

    I used to like him a lot, but he's been falling out of favor for me lately. He's getting just a little too political for me. Don't get me wrong, I consider myself a feminist and I'm all about inclusion and cultural sensitivity. But while those are important things to me, they don't make up...

    Ubisoft vs EA. -Or- The Evil of Two Lessers.

    EA still sucks, but they do seem like they're trying to get better. Ubi is heading in the opposite direction, with lots of dishonesty and criminal amounts of over-hyping. Plus Uplay is worse than Origin. At least Origin gives you free stuff and did that Humble Bundle once.

    Jim Sterling leaves The Escapist

    Wow. I'm shocked. Jim was the heaviest hitter around here aside from Yahtzee. Escapist takes another step towards becoming MovieBob.com I think at this point, if/when Yahtzee decides to leave, that'll be it for Escapist...

    Looking for an MMO that isn't like Diablo

    I've been looking to try an MMO for a while now. The idea of so many people playing together seems cool, but I have yet to find one I like. All the ones I've tried seem to similar to a genre I hate; the Diablo clone. (By that, I mean clicky-clicky hotkey loot-em-ups.) Here's what I'm looking...

    What's with internet critics doing all these lame skits?

    True story. A lot of the time on Twitter, he talks about how a review is going to be delayed (or in some cases, canceled) because he needs to finish writing a skit or needs to wait for a costume to come in. No you don't, Joe. No you don't. OT: That's one thing I like about Linkara. He puts...

    Did you ever attend a private university?

    I started at private, dropped out because I wanted to change my major to something they didn't offer, went to community college, and transferred into a state school, which is where I'm at now. 1) Honestly, I liked private school the best of the three, but by an extremely narrow margin...
