Same. The first had some twitch, but this is just crazy. That, and the matchmaking, and the tissue-paper titans really have made the game just incredibly frustrating for me.

One thing to also note: LSD can be absorbed through the skin. If placed on something commonly touched (a doorknob, or a controller), one could conceivably dose a large number of people with a low dose. LSD is also very easily absorbed by mucus membranes, such as those in the eyes and...

Unfortunately, some of the reactions aren't fringe because...well, they're mainstream. The same mainstream that plundered geek culture while kicking it every chance they got. Geekdom isn't mainstream- it's components are, like online gaming. Here's an idea: listen to Fox News or it's leftist...

I would say that conflating the gamer community and greater geekdom is a pretty bad mistake. Online venues such as forums aren't nests of hatred and various -isms because of geeks; they're venues of hatred and shittiness because they're accessible to everyone, not just geeks. Some geeks and...

Is this particular horrifying new content like most of the other content they released for DS2? By that, I mean of course unavailable to PC gamers anyways- even if it is day one DLC.

So wait, he says something off the cuff as a twenty-something who's been on more combat missions than 99% of the population? Lord forbid he word something wrong!God knows he's lived a normal east London life in a home where...oh wait, he's been tabloid fodder since conception, because that makes...

Well, as a westerner, I'm going to call it out...Pakistan is essentially two countries trapped in one 'body'. Seriously. There's Pakistan, trying to get into the second world, trying to get its shit straight, trying to fight, y'know, deplorable human beings who think 'acid to the face' is a good...

Breaking news: Game series revolving around isolation and madness has difficulty incorporating co-op. Because that's what it needs...to get rid of the isolation and the wondering whether Isaac is going crazy because of the marker or the unspeakable horrors he's witnessed.

No R/B/U option? early creatures to distract while you whittle and harass away? Also, that Ash Warrior is the unsung hero of whatever deck you build.

I'm thinking that red/blue suckerpunching will soon be the order of the day. With all the board-brooming, there's not a whole lot of benefit to playing tokens. Terminus was basically the reason I opted out of playing my W/G humans in tournament.

There are a lot of problems, but then again, I am of the impression that they're adding and tweaking as they build. Re: Crowdfunding- it's much less profitable to do a kickstarter when there's such a huge group of fanatics already out there. There's the roleplayers, the tabletop guys, the...

The issue with Syndicate wasn't the fact that it jumped genres, the issue was that it was a mediocre game trying to fill the boots of a much beloved classic. If it had jumped genres WELL, then it would have been successful. However, the lack of content and updates, the mutilated story (Richard...

I think that the issue isn't casuals, or marketing games to them. It's the increasing sameness of games, based on the model of 'X was successful, we must make our game more like X in order to be successful as well'. An example: Dead Space was originally a horror/survival horror third person...

This. They've murdered what could have been the Lord of the Rings or Star Wars. If anything, this announcement is a clear indication that the evil at EA has finally won out. RIP, Bioware.
