    We Are All Orcs in Shadow of Mordor - Hands-on - Update

    Thought your tagline was literal for a moment there now I'm dissapointed, the orcs are one of the least fleshed-out aspects of Middle Earth I'd love to play a game from their perspective. Ah well, the game itself looks pretty interesting will have to keep an eye on it.

    Jimquisition: Watch Dogs - Five Collector's Editions For One Game? What? F*$%ing WHAT?

    I've never really seen stuff like this as anti-consumer, though I guess it kind of is given that they are putting my enjoyment of a product as secondary to their bottom line. They aren't even helping their bottom line though, which is the tragedy of the thing, my job as a consumer is to get the...

    The Crownless King-to-Be of Late Night TV

    It's my understanding that its commonly thought the Silent Generation did exactly that, largely dissapearing from the cultural mealstrom much faster than the boomers have (hence Silent Generation). It didn't actually happen that way though, what happened is that the Boomers were so much bigger...

    Pillars of Eternity Deal Announced By Obsidian and Paradox

    Good news as far as I'm concerned, two of my favourite developers, one of whom is also a good publisher, are working together colour me interested. From a business perspective, kickstarter is being used in an interesting and new way that will also mean that the backers are more likely to get...

    Jimquisition: Lugoscababib Discobiscuits

    Do have to agree with the people saying that Bioshock Infinite was too violent, not because it was ludonarritively dissonant but because the violent parts of that game were less fun for me than the quiter atmospheric parts. I would have enjoyed it more if it was less violent, therefore it was...

    Jimquisition: Perfect Pasta Sauce

    Could'nt agree more (though maybe not with the republicanism). God save our gracious Jim.

    The Big Picture: The 90's Didn't Suck

    I think its a product of the decadal system breaking down, for a while culture tended to change over a decade, leading to each decade having a distinctive 'mood' and narrative. Culture nowadays moves way to quickly for that to work.

    Calling a Kid the "C" Word

    The severity of 'c***' is a regional thing, most parts of the UK consider it to be one of the strongest swearwords around ( though none consider it to be quite as bad as in the US, to my knowledge), but there are a couple of areas in the southeast where it is used as casually as you have heard...

    Will shooters ever be anything else other than just military again?

    -Farcry -Metro 2033 -Bioshock -Gears of War -Mass Efffect -Halo -Portal -Dishonoured All series with recent iterations, all shooters to one degree or another, none of them military shooters. Non-military shooters are actually more common than military shooters at this point.

    Overrated is a stupid term

    The term 'Over-rated' has become so overused it is now essentially meaningless. I mean that quite literally, whenever anyone says 'overrated' I have to ask them to explain what they mean as I cant tell anymore. They could mean that it over-sold relative to its quality, or that gamers give it too...

    KOTOR's Gameplay Sucks

    Two things: 1. You're assuming that the speech choices are not part of gamplay,why? You have as much agency over them as you do combat. I would say that KOTOR's gameplay is pretty good, its combat gameplay is quite poor though. 2. So? Story trumping gameplay in RPG's is not exactly news...
