    Star Trek Deep Space Nine: Anyone else think Commander Kira is a complete monster?

    See, the thing here is that it's showing a harsh reality that most American media goes out of their way to avoid: War is evil. When you are involved in a serious war against someone who stands even a ghost of a chance against you, your choices are to do evil things or to die. The best thing...

    Zero Punctuation: Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes - $40 Demo

    You act like the only reason people might not like this game's story is because they don't get it, but I'm pretty sure that the opposite is true. Heck, the writers for Spec Ops have gone on record as saying that putting their game down in disgust and never playing it again is a good reaction to...

    Captain America Sequel Could Become Biggest April Movie Ever

    Only on the internet, my friend. Only on the internet. Make of that what you will.

    No Right Answer: Is Game of Thrones Overrated?

    I've never watched the show, because I've read the books. The first one's pretty good, but each one after that gets progressively worse. I just don't want to go through that again.

    Captain America Sequel Could Become Biggest April Movie Ever

    Um, yes. That absolutely is unreasonable. Who in their right mind honestly thinks they have a right to never see or hear about a thing they don't like? That's insane. I don't like horror movies, but you don't see me going around to reviews of them posting about how I wish they would stop...

    Captain America Sequel Could Become Biggest April Movie Ever

    It's one thing to criticize something you don't like. That's totally cool. This, however, is not criticism. This is just you whining about the very existence of a thing that is not aimed at your personal entertainment, as if anyone who disagrees with you doesn't deserve to have what they...

    NASA Suspends Contact with Russia, Except for the ISS

    I... I'm not actually sure if you're angry at me or agreeing with me from that post. Probably the former, maybe even both. I just... clearly don't know enough about what's going on to make any kind of rational decision, and I know more than most Americans, including a lot of the ones that are...

    NASA Suspends Contact with Russia, Except for the ISS

    To be fair that's all true, but the other side is that the reason Crimea is an ethnically Russian region today is that the communists killed all the Ukrainians living there back in their day, which is a big part of the reason that the rest of the Ukraine hates Russia so much. Really the whole...

    Jimquisition: The Adblock Episode

    I honestly don't think I'd be able to use the internet without adblock at this point. The horrible, annoying, intrusive, nonsensical ads are what drove me away from TV to the internet in the first place, and now the ads here have become worse. That being said though, I do want to see creators...

    Jim & Yahtzee's Rhymedown Spectacular: The Adventure Game Chain

    Ow. My head hurts now. The poems were both great, but my goodness that flashy, shaky image thing was horrendous.

    Dark Souls On the PC

    Man, I remember the days when bad PC ports were actually bad, not just the original game with no additional features. It's kinda hilarious to me to see all these people getting so angry over being stuck at the same framerate and resolution that the consoles have. The port is perfectly functional...

    Jimquisition: Children of the Resolution

    Well, I'm using 1080p for most of my gaming now, since I have my PC hooked up to my TV, but that's the lowest PC resolution I've used since I bought a monitor that could do better. When was that again? Oh yeah! 1999. (Okay, that's actually a lie. I prefer good lighting and effects and draw...

    The Master

    Man, I always thought save scumming meant more than just saving frequently. The way I've always heard it save scumming mainly involves games that rely heavily on random numbers, in that you'd save right before doing something risky and then reload and try the same thing again if it failed, and...

    Games That You Kinda Just Stopped Playing.

    Too many to name, but in the interest of contributing something, I'll list all the games I currently have installed on Steam because I'm still trying to convince myself to go back and finish at least one or two of them: Alan Wake Amnesia: The Dark Decent Borderlands 2 Dust: An Elysian Tail...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition Brings Back Tactical View - PAX 2013

    I dunno, it used to be that any BioWare game was an auto purchase for me, and I don't want to be one of the people getting all whiny about problems that aren't all that bad in the end (Seriously, DA2 felt like it had a lot of potential but was rushed out unfinished, and 95% of ME3 was one of the...
