    Final Fantasy XV Launch Trailer Features Giant Monsters and Ridiculous Swords

    Man, screw all y'all. I am completely on board with Final Fantasy: Bishie Road Trip. If this and Last Guardian review well, it may finally be time for me to get a current gen console.

    Undertale Review - The Pinnacle of Classic RPG Storytelling

    If pressed, I would say Undertale is mostly an adventure game. It makes excellent use of the separate exploration and encounter systems, and the RPGish save points are really crucial, but the core gameplay isn't very much like an RPG at all.

    Wireless keyboards and mice - Do you use them?

    I've used wireless mice and keyboards since the 90s. I can be much more flexible in the positioning of the case (it's actually behind me right now, a good six foot from the monitor) and I've never looked at my desk and thought, man, this thing sure needs more wires on it. I am glad I got a...

    Zero Punctuation: King's Quest: A Knight to Remember

    Oh man, someone hasn't heard the stories about Sierra in the early 80s.

    Reddit Bans Subreddits about Making Fun of Fat People, Neogaf, and others.

    There's almost no such thing as "illegal content" in the United States (aside from the obvious one). The Supreme Court dealt with animal snuff porn just a few years ago. Protected speech. That was the "crush video" case, which I am not going to try and look up while I'm at work. Animal...

    What genre do games like Diablo 2 belong to?

    Heh, back when the original Diablo first came out there was quite the spirited debate on whether or not it was a roguelike. Today, that's about the only genre no one has mentioned in this thread.

    Cruelty

    I've been getting random reboots playing Cities: Skylines. This comic is not helping my guilty conscience.

    Hasbro Sets My Little Pony Movie For 2017

    So how will they screw this one up? Putting my money on live action/CGI hybrid like the Garfield movies.

    "Monkey Selfie" Erupts into Copyright Battle on Wikipedia

    That's not exactly the story he gave [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/8615859/Monkey-steals-camera-to-snap-himself.html] originally: If he can prove the photo was orchestrated, not happenstance, he ought to win the court case. I'm not sure Wikimedia was really in the...

    Steampunk Teddy Roosevelt?! SDCC Cosplay Gallery 1

    At first glace I thought the title was "Steampunk Teddy Ruxpin". Gallery could not live up to expectations.

    ComiXology Update Removes In-App Purchases for iOS Users

    You'll only need to punch in the card every time if you're uncomfortable leaving it on file with Amazon. Personally I spend a whole lot more money through Amazon than through Apple. They've had my credit card details since they were just a book store.

    36% of All Games Owned on Steam Are Never Played

    I bought Skyrim in the winter sale and just haven't got to it yet. Someday! I think it took me two years to finally get around to Oblivion so, you know, this is not without precedent.

    "Let Me Google That For You" Act Goes Before Congress

    Huh, didn't even notice that when I read the article. Coburn is from Oklahoma, McCaskill is from Missouri.

    Xbox One's Frame Rate: Kid Rejected, Mother Approved

    Sometimes I laugh when I am sad. And I wear my hair loose, so I don't look anything like that guy. Ha ha, ow.

    The Colbert Retort

    This is what gets me. Colbert and Park are clearly, obviously, allies in their overall goals. He wouldn't have turned his attention to the Washington team at all if they didn't at least broadly agree with each other. Which makes the whole thing a People's Front of Judea problem, one of the...
