    The Big Picture: Tropes vs. MovieBob

    I agree with bob. its probably not gonna be the end of the world every time someone brings up this topic,and reacting with venomous ferver probably is overkill. i don't even think its really to deny the fact that sexism exists. its more like a kneejerk reaction to being accused of wrong...

    Escape to the Movies: John Carter

    i wasnt taken with the movie, to be sure. i didn't know anything about it, but it struck me as very unfocused and reaching. its a shame they couldnt go the simple route. it might have at least been acceptable. i kept thinking as i watched people leave the drive in throughout the movie "why am i...

    Kingdoms of Amalur's Combat The "Best" Of Any RPG

    idk skyrim combat is pretty blah, so not hard to beat, and i think its ugly, so this game would probably appeal to me more. i kinda agree that it's visually reminiscent of wow, but i don't consider that a bad thing. may have to remember it if i ever get a ps3 or a good computer.

    What if you could erase one aspect of mankind?

    i would say the worst thing about mankind for me is self-destructive tendencies(infighting between humans. not suicide, that's irregular and dumb). i could do away with that. it makes me wish there were other actual races for us to fight with, just to curb our own infighting. to be honest...

    Disabled Girl Dating Sim Katawa Shoujo Finally Available

    ive never played a sim any deeper than harvest moon/rune factory, so at free.99 this game sounds very compelling to try out.

    Skyward Sword

    its there, its just not on the home page anymore. you gotta go to videos and pick zp, then the episode you want.

    Skyward Sword

    i definitely don't like Fi. I would gladly vote her most intolerable helper. midna didn't give advice, and navi was belligerent, but Fi is standalone worst. i suppose i won't defend the game world being smaller, although to counter yahtzee's point windwaker and twilight princess both had...

    Anime : What does the escapist think about Elfen Lied?

    i liked it, but yeah, it ended 1/2-1/3 of the way through the actual story, and changed a few key things.

    Poll: Should Zelda games have voice acting?

    i could see possibly other characters talking, but link should stay silent. the problem with American voice actors is that they are very few and far between, so lots of characters sound alike, and your screwed of you hate one or more. I'm not sure why everyone is equating voice acting to...

    Love Blooms in New Skyward Sword Trailer

    i have to agree that something about their faces' lips looks off, like its too dark or too pronounced. i doubt it would be a large detractor though. it was probably done for more expression or something. OT: Zelda games (or at least its fans) have always hinted at/fan-fictioned relationships...

    Jimquisition: Used Games Have A Right To Exist

    i can't believe publishers are pulling this crap. its bad enough that computer games are single shot sink holes, but now they want to destroy used console games? this whole "make it impossible to share" focus will do more harm than good. who hasn't rented or borrowed a game from a friend to...

    Extra Punctuation: Weapon-Crafting That Works

    I'm surprised he didn't mention Minecraft with its huge list of crafting and its "collect everything-ness", but i suppose he wanted to do the whole free build thing. i see a huge pitfall with his idea though, and that is player cheese. a player will find as many ways to cheese a system as...

    The Big Picture: Gender Games

    the biggest problem i have with feminism and civil rights movements in general is: its never enough. (hold flame while i make my point.) equality is all well and good, but telling men to give up oversexed females while females ogle twilight characters (bob's example) is not equivalent. you...

    The world has ended and only 3 chracters can save it.

    I would say my 3 would be link, Dante (devil may cry), and a good holy paladin. you've got Two people with basically indestructible weapons, multipurpose tools, and mad skills. the holy paladin can just sit back and heal. =P

    Manga, how do you pronounce it?

    i don't know why people have trouble with this. Japanese is actually much more simple to say when reading because they kept it very phonetic. the Japanese system is based off of A-I-U-E-O. they sound like AH-EE-OO-EH-OH. most characters follow this principle. a basic alphabet looks like...
