    Worst examples of blatant fanservice

    To be fair that's pretty much the author paying homage to Red Sonja rather than pure fan service.

    Has a licensed GW game ever got the aesthetic right?

    Point of fact even things like the Codex's can't get the grim part of the grim dark future down correctly. The space marine Codex is nothing but knights in shining armor smiting evil under their holy wrath or some such nonsense. Part of the issue it the fact that the grimness of the 40K universe...

    Tips for FTL

    Even with ship theme's the most reliable and easiest way to get to the end and beat the battleship I found was simply loading up on as many weapons that fire multiple shots and letting lose at once. That being said if you have multiple weapons don't use auto fire, it's far better to fire them...

    Tips for FTL

    Burst lasers, burst lasers, burst lasers, burst lasers, and cloaking. Really though it's a rouge-like it's going to take you a few tries before you get the hang of the game and what you need to do to survive. Generally you want to hit as many star points as possible before jumping to the...

    EA Admits That SimCity Could Have Been Offline

    In response to the claims of this bad PR not doing anything you guys should really check out EA's stock when such events happen. EA is a company that's at best stagnating and you can see that in regards to the fact that they haven't even come close to recovering from the economic recession...

    CliffyB: Microtransaction is Not a Dirty Word, EA is Not The Bad Guy

    Umm I'm not sure where you buy your cars but mine came with gas... kinda hard to drive off the lot without it you know.

    "Gamer Entitlement": Current state of gaming journalism and industry

    I suppose they could cause a multi page thread with every other post being a rant about how much X person hates the game and that they destroyed the franchise with it? Right or wrong the thread has been made, people have looked at the arguments and formed opinions based on those arguments...

    Most difficult boss you've faced.

    Wow I'm surprised with all the mentions of Final Fantasy no one has even mentioned Weigraf or Elmdor from tactics. It's bad enough they require a high level of knowledge regarding the leveling and class abilities but the game save locks you forcing you to restart the whole game, or if your lucky...

    Baldur's Gate: Which classes make "sense"

    I feel a lot of people are assuming that CHARNAME has extensive knowledge of the class he or she chose to follow. Really though any of the classes can be justified by saying that CHARNAME read up on or self taught themselves. Just when they finally got the hang of the basics of the basics they...

    Baldur's Gate: Which classes make "sense"

    I always viewed any martial character being taught by the guards. A kind of run out the door as soon as the lessons were done and go train with the Candlekeep Watch. Really though any class can have justification as Candlekeep is in all respects one of the largest libraries in the land. I mean...

    E.A. is destroying the gaming business?

    I think I can spot the divergence ahead in this discussion between us pretty much boiling down to how much value we perceive the fans to have. I personally believe back in that 'old school' day fans were less then important. However with such easy communication their value has in fact grown...

    E.A. is destroying the gaming business?

    Isn't that logic a little basic though? Sure once money exchanges hands the at face value towards the company/game is equal. However I would argue that fans earn their importance, albeit not anywhere near the point where the company NEEDS them, though things like word of mouth. I mean by the...

    Another EA horror story.

    Of course with the whole house analogy you guys are forgetting that he tried to get that missing door fixed several times before he started getting mad. After being unable to replace the missing door he wanted a refund for completely valid reasons. It's one thing to contest the purchase of the...

    The Old Republic is a SMASH HIT...

    Course updates, patches, new content and things like server maintenance all cost money taking away from their so called 'success'. They're also losing people hand over fist and without a massive ad campaign, which also cost money, they're unlikely to get some much needed new blood into the...
