    The Big Picture: The Simpsons Is Still Funny, Part 2

    Video is 404 for me as well. Apparently it was up for some period as it got the ponies all riled up.

    The Big Picture: Continanity: Rebooted

    Half the time I spent watching this I was trying to figure out what the big payoff was going to be with Bob doing that accent. Now all that effort has me thinking in that accent.

    do you have a heart? in games

    As much as I tell myself that it is just a game I can't be the chaotic evil or completely selfish character. It does bother me that when I make the pragmatic choice that games often react to that as being evil.

    Thoughts on the vocaloids?

    They are the synthetic equivalent of singers that also aren't songwriters. Take "sampling" and go to the next step. Vocaloids are another music medium that is easier to quire, and possibly use than an actual person. I see having a problem with them as the same as having a problem with...

    Bethesda Makes Stealing and Fighting a Little Easier for Skyrim

    I will hold continue to curb my enthusiasm until the final product. It is nice to hear what they are correcting but, it seems like then they fix one thing something else appears later.

    This Nifty Pip Boy 3000 Replica Will Save Your Life in the Wasteland

    And it still has that bad design where all the knobs to control it are on the left side of it. They need to be on the right side because if they are on the left, your forearm is going to be blocking the screen while you use the knobs.

    Optimus Gets Mad in New Transformers Trailer

    God damn it am I sick of them tacking on "love" stories to these movies. People do great and amazing this for other reasons than "love".

    How Will You Survive the Zombie-pocalypse?

    I seems like the two most important questions are what your favorite action hero is and what memento you carry. Apparently only survivors with a vagina can lookup to Ripley.

    What is a good age to start playing video games? To stop?

    Why do people make the assumption that if you enjoy something now, you won't in the future? Yeah, when you have kids at first it is hard to find the time but, then they will want to play with you. Kids also do not eat all of your time.

    Fox News Takes Aim at "Offensive" Duke Nukem Forever

    Is this really unexpected? I remember the fit they threw over Mass Effect where the person they got against admitted that they never played the game and only heard about it.

    Is the 9/11 Pokemon offensive?

    Is the 9/11 Pokemon offensive? To me? No. I would actually be happy if there was more exploration of the event. I hate it when something bad happens and everyone gets over sensitive about it. Know what doesn't help get over trauma? Ignoring it so that if there is any hint of it you...

    Why do people care if Yahtzee disses a game they love?

    There are people out there that get emotionally invested in the products that they buy. A diss to their beloved product is a diss at them. Yahtzee is now well known so when he disses something there are a great deal of people that will hear it. So then these people now are being disses by...

    Is Arkham Asylum worth the potential hassle?

    I don't know why they have Securom for anything on Steam. If it does have it, you can play the game, and then latter get a Securom remover
