    EA Turns Its Back on Single-Player Games

    Slightly tempted to enter into a "fuck EA" rant but it's been done a few times already, and better... I only play games for what they can offer me in terms of single-player. For that reason, a multiplayer-only game will be one I never play. If I want to be social I'll go to the pub with some...

    How was Dragon Age a dark Fantasy?

    Badreaper, you have a valid point. Hadn't thought of it that way :)

    How was Dragon Age a dark Fantasy?

    Whether or not you consider it a "dark" fantasy or not is entirely your own opinion. I'm of the opinion that yes, it is a dark fantasy (whatever the hell that's meant to mean anyway) :P But not really enough to have a hype built up around it based on that. Heh, sorry for the loooong post, I...

    Poll: Is it inaccurate or offensive to call Anime "Cartoons"

    It would be more akin to comparing a PZVI Tiger to the M4 Sherman. Sure, one's much more refined and intricately designed, with the other being cheaper/faster to make, with different intentions for each (in this case it's survivability and gun power Vs "fill the firld with tanks and more tanks"...

    This Is Possibly The Creepiest Cell Phone Ever

    I agree with those who don't see any real need for this, I mean, it's essentially a squishy doll-shaped phone. Not getting the creepy vibes from it. Yes yes feels like a little tiny person, realistic skin, very creepy blah blah ...I wouldn't rush to buy one but wouldn't freak out if someone...

    Microsoft Wants to Kill Internet Explorer 6 Too

    Used IE at first on this PC... never bothered to change it for a while. Firefox simply never appealed to me, it looked at first glance too similar. Downloaded chrome out of curiosity after seeing it advertised the first time. I think IE is still on here taking up space, but I guess its smart...

    Dragon age 2

    To be fair I haven't followed it at all. This is what aimlessly browsing the wiki showed me. And mass effect is less RPG than origins, more action. Don't get me wrong, it's awesome, I just don't see the formula working in dragon age...

    Dragon age 2

    So I stumbled across this in the dragon age wiki recently" "Hawke is the central protagonist of Dragon Age II. Hawke is fully voiced, can be either male or female, has a fully customizable appearance and, as in Origins, can be a mage, rogue or warrior." Alter a few words, and you get this...

    Stuff you NEVER expected to find awesome

    Two worlds. Horrible voice acting. Horrible combat animation. Not exactly easy to get along with interface. Terrible plot. Very little character customisation. Suddenly, political intrigue! Dragons! Rival guilds! Different scenery as you explore! Really nice swords! Yeah everyone hates...

    Poll: How do you say "Ninja Star"

    "neen-jar ssst-argh" How else would one say it? Hehe just my little joke. I say shuriken. If someone needs that explaining I give them a withering stare and in my best patronising voice say "perhaps you might consider looking it up later, the dictionary is over there" It doesn't actually...

    British Police Create Game For Anti-Rape Campaign

    This is basically my thought. Wonder if they even considered gay/lesbian rapes when making it? Actually, I doubt they did, because that certainly never happens; only heterosexual rapes by men of women ever happen /sarcasm I hate over-the-top political correctness in all it's forms, and this...

    Game Franchises You've Lost Interest In

    Before I list them, understand that it's not because games are BAD (at least not always), it's more because it's more of the same, or has gone from being about the singleplayer story-driven mode to being all(or nearly all) about the multiplayer aspect... so it's apathy and disinterest rather...

    Activision: Social and Casual Games Don't Make Money

    Yes. And I kinda heard him saying it in teyrn loghain's voice "The place where YOU have the opportunities for growth is within the communities of franchises WE control" On the other hand, as much as it seems an idiot move now, wouldn't it be hilarious if the screeching masses got bored of...

    The last weapon you used in-game is now your weapon in the zombie apocolypse

    Huh... Supreme commander eh? An UEF ACU. Last thing it killed? An Aeon tier-4 submarine-battleship (Tempest?) (luckiest kill I ever made...) OR Vigilance (longsword) and partha (heavy shield) from awakening. Killed the Queen of Blackmarsh dragon equipped with them. I don't actually...
