    Poll: Captain America: Civil War -- Choose your side!

    Something tells me that this is all going to be rendered moot and pointless when HYDRA, or someone from HYDRA show's up at the last part of the movie for the Avengers to fight against.

    Poll: Captain America: Civil War -- Choose your side!

    I believe that superheroes should be held accountable for their action, and be registered with the government. As for Bucky, he should stand trial and own up to his crimes. The Winter Soldier is an adult and should be treated as such, we can't keep letting superheroes off the hook on some...

    Older Iceman Confirmed to Be Gay in Uncanny X-Men 600

    Wait, shouldn't Older Iceman be bisexual? I don't read the comics and don't know anything about the character, but if Iceman was attracted to men in his youth and seemingly grew out of it as an adult, then shouldn't he technically bisexual?

    Disney May Ban Leia's Gold Bikini From All Star Wars Merch

    I believe that Leia's golden bikini should stay. If people don't like what they see, then they should just walk away or don't look. Disney banning all Slave Leia merchandise isn't going to magically get rid of the image and symbolism of the outfit. People are still going to draw Leia in her...

    Deadpool will be pansexual in his upcoming movie.

    Why is this news? I don't care about the private sexual lives of comic book characters. It doesn't add any dimension or depth to them.

    Unrealistic Expectations

    Isn't the whole point of fiction to be unrealistic? I mean people read fiction in the first place because they want an escape, or break from realism. I don't get why people are complaining about scantily clad females, but selectively ignore the half naked muscle men who dominate fiction and...

    Square Enix censors skimpy male costume from upcoming Final Fantasy game

    I don't like what the man in the picture is wearing. To me, it's one of the many examples of Square going overboard with costume design.

    Does anyone else miss old school RPGs?

    I do miss old school RPGs with character development and turn based combat. Only Pokemon and Shin Megami Tensei have that feeling while Final Fantasy is going out of it's way to mess with the combat. They got it right with the Materia system in 7 and should've stayed there instead of adding new...

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

    I thought that American Sniper was supposed to be a movie about the life of Chris Kyle. I haven't read the book or seen the movie, but based on the reviews that I read online, it's an anti war movie that shows how war affects the mental state of the average soldier. I don't think that it would...

    What Is the Future of Video Game Journalism?

    I think gaming journalism is going to become more opinionated and sensationalized in the future. Eventually, it's going to be bought out by the corporations and the news will be sanitized to keep the consumer in the dark about certain things.

    All Female A-Force Replaces The Avengers

    Quick Question: How is this new all female Avengers going to get me, the guy who doesn't read comics to pick up an issue? I have no idea who most of the super heroines in the picture are, and don't know where most of them are from. I don't know their powers, their back stories, or even why they...

    Progressing gaming

    One more thing: Where do women and minorities fit in the who concept of a superior audience?

    Progressing gaming

    As someone who studies fine arts in college and plays video games, I reject the idea that gaming needs a superior audience. This has to be the most elitist and racist thing that I have ever heard in my life. First of all, who is the superior audience that he's talking about? Without any...

    No Right Answer: Are Gamers Dead?

    Gamers are not dead: people are still choosing spend some money on a console and games to play for fun. They're just not choosing to purchase or play the indie games that critics love to gush about like "Gone Home" or "Depression Quest" because they're not interested in. I think game critics...

    Are we ready for games starring queer/trans heroes? Mainstream and Indie

    Why are some people obsessed with being queer and trans-friendly? I don't want a queer or trans friendly character in video games, television, or literature unless the writer takes this seriously. I'm sick and tired of seeing the words queer, trans, LGBT tossed around lazily and causally just so...
