    The Big Picture: Je Suis Charlie

    You've outdone yourself, Bob. Hat's off to you.

    Zero Punctuation: Talos Principle

    Repurpose enemies as trollies? A game by Serious Sam devs that apes Solstice? Holy shit, sir, you just sold a game. Also, I think your singing is fantastic and it made my day.

    Star Control 2 - Interstellar Awesome

    For people interested in the game: there's a remake/improvement/etc. called "The Ur-Quan Masters", which is freely available for consumption (and open-source, to boot), and fixes many of the problems and ease-of-use issues that were noted in the review to detract from the game. Here's a link to...

    Zero Punctuation: Far Cry 4 - F**k Eagles

    How did you not know you wanted more elephant riding? I feel like you missed out on Dynasty Warriors fun somewhere along the way...

    What We Talk About When We Talk About Cosby

    Personally, there are so very few people worthy of actual praise (offhand I can think of Steve Mann, Gremlin, and Mr. Rogers, with a smattering after that), that this isn't really surprising. I don't see a problem with condemning the person and their work. Whatever benefit Cosby had is already...

    The Latest Scourge of AAA Game Design

    I'd really prefer to have a speed-up button/dump-to-text button in many modern cutscenes, as I care nothing for failed dramatic timing and would much rather have the text and information than to sit around for a half-hour listening to a terribly shit, critically over-acted death scene... and the...

    Assassin's Creed: Unity's Season Pass Has Been Cancelled

    Legally speaking, since they never announced anything other than "Some" DLC (or "all released" DLC), that claim could, indeed, fully hold up in court. This is sorta why Season Passes are Bad Ideas, in a nutshell, actually; There's no protection for worth, and as long as they give you...

    The Big Picture: Broken Movies

    This is a *huge* thing in gaming too, and I'm a bit surprised Bob didn't add such a thing to the mix. People trying to complain about games not being self-contained when the bulk of gaming never was, and this gripe being more modern than it maybe should be... And then you have people bitching...

    Blood Draining Game Peripheral Needs $250K From Kickstarter

    Assuming it is, as it's stated, overseen by a medical professional and done in an arena (competitive gaming) that would support it, I think it's glorious... *way* better than all the "drink if you lose" types out there, certainly... This isn't designed for at-home use or whatever... I'm not...

    Uncivil War: Quake - Speed Run Finale!

    An homage to "Quake Done Quick" in my Uncivil War? Oh yes, quake for a final is absolutely awesome. Solid run for the end, though.

    Hyrule Warriors Review - Triforce, Trifurious

    Didn't enjoy any of the new-age Zelda games (OoT and onward were made by someone who publicly despised the original series because they were, by his own admission, too hard for him), but this may finally help me get over that... I mean... it worked for Tron (couldn't watch the original until...

    25 Top RPGs of the Last Five Years

    If they're including MORPGs, why aren't they including MMORPGs, TRPGs, or SRPGs? If they're including H&S-RPGs and FPSRPGs, why not VNs or games like Recettear (which was 2010 for it's NA release... does that count?)? I feel like this list was either not limited enough in scope, allowing...

    Games you've always wanted to play, but may never get the chance to.

    There have been a lot of MORPGs/MMORPGs and the like that've come and gone when I didn't have the money/time to dedicate to them... Some I've been able to get back to (PSOBB, for example), but some I'll never get to because no private servers were created. There are also some MUDs that I...

    Civilization: Beyond Earth - Where Will You Take Humanity?

    They don't want to be compared to ACAX... because they're selfish by their own admission. They want all the credit, even though they *are* already starting post ACAX. Pretty much this.

    Doom Reboot Info - Many Demons, No Regenerating Health

    Maybe they did just look to the brutal mod... and that'd be alright with me. SEGA hired guys from Sonic Retro to do the port of Sonic CD, so why the hell not? Let the people who love the game teach you how it's done... makes sense, no? OT, it's way too early to be hyped... let it come out...
