    Legend of Korra: What Happened to Korra and Who Is Kuvira?

    Sad to see that the producer apparently still have no idea what to do with Korra or the new series as a whole. I was disappointed with all of korras villains so far and from that article it seems like that is not going to change. To me it appears the tried to have the series "grow up" together...

    How EverQuest Landmark Is Really a Subsidized Endeavor

    Yeah i get they want to use micro transactions instead of a monthly subscription but honestly i don´t get it and i don´t like it. Why do people seem to bother so much with subscription? 10$ a months for theoretically unlimited play time, thats pretty much the best bargain there is. And making...

    The Downward Spiral of Fight Club

    Haven´t thought about the connection between NIN and Fight club yet, gotta do some listening/watching later, the idea is very interesting and they certainly overlap in tone and themes. I just think its pretty damn sad that Trent seems to have lost his edge. The last 2 cds were pretty meh...

    How EverQuest Landmark Is Really a Subsidized Endeavor

    Actually i think they are just saving them for Everquest Next itself. The devs kinda admitted that Landmark is pretty much just a paid level editor for Next, which isn´t necessarily a problem, they were pretty much up front about it and if people are willing to pay then cool. But that also...

    How EverQuest Landmark Is Really a Subsidized Endeavor

    I have to say for me Landmark was an emotional roller-coaster so far, bought the trailblazer pack right from the start. For the next 2 weeks i was basically non existent for the outside world. But once i head my obsidian walled, marble Fortress there was just nothing left to do in the game...

    Poll: A public apology to Jack Thompson

    Dear Mr. Thompson I know i can speak only for myself but i think those are things that need to be said. You stood up for what you believe was right and true. You wanted to show the world that violence and violent themes in video games can influence people. All this violence in games, all...

    GamerGate's Image Problem

    Do all of your trousers come in smarty pants edition or do you have to turn them inside out every 2 weeks to avoid the smell? So apparently this gets a warning? Where is the line between being snarky and being rude?

    well, the the escapist was just attacked.

    Oh sure we are all just conspiracy theorists! We have to figure out where they coordinate those attacks!

    Why is Being Nuetral in GamerGate a bad thing?

    Being neutral in itself isn´t a problem, but like you said yourself, a lot of people that claim to be neutral still critizize either side but mostly gamergate(at least my impression). So we have gotten very weary about "neutral people". If someone is really neutral, cool, its their thing. But...

    A thank you to mr. Tito

    Yeah thanks for the education, haven´t gone though the logs so far, gotta find that link again. So apparently Mr. Tito has even journalistic integrity than i previouls thought. So Thanks again Mr.Tito To clarify, if he would have agreed with us it would still have meant facing pressure maybe...

    GamerGate's Image Problem

    Yes just like last time you said you went through all my posts and concluded that i don´t take action to meet my words. But nice you are sticking to the classics. Take a glass of water out of the ocean, see no fish in the glass and declare there are no fish in the ocean and call it a victory...
