If he later worries about whether his upcoming game is "too awesome" will that also make news?

Tomb Raider Review It's a great game: get it. To go further in depth, let's talk about Lara Croft. This was the character that made a decent PS1 game stand out from the others simply by the main character's gender. This was when games, while still meant exclusively for males, were starting...

"Hey, no need to apologize - you couldn't have known what people have gone through, and given that this is an entertainment site, the first-world problems are the status quo. And thanks." Glad to hear back from you. I felt like a dick. My only point was that it's not wrong to complain...

"As for when have any of us had to deal with life and death issues? I've been homeless, and I'm a cancer survivor. :P" Sorry, nevermind. Congrats on surviving. I guess I was wrong.

I understand what you've all said, but frankly we're all dealing with first world issues. This is of course not a matter of life and death, but when have any of us dealt with such issues? And to be more to the point--it's a pointless argument to begin with; to be accussed of being a first-world...

When did this phrase start? I may have been out of the loop. I get what it means; I've heard it in Louis C.K. standup, but do people just say that to you whenever you complain about anything related to gaming? I get gaming's a luxury, but yes--I wasn't made into a child soldier and my parents...

What an ass. No, that's an understatement. There's no insult for him that wouldn't be an understatement. The issue here isn't his use of games but his actions. If he chose to play MW to hone his shooting skills for a mass killing then he was a monster before he even purchased his copy of MW...

My smart TV. I can sleep in front of it. I can masturbate in front of it. And if worse comes to worst, I can eat the parts I haven't masturbated upon.

Jade. Make Beyond Good and Evil 2.

"Hata's gone hate!" Just joking. It's a nice place but it's on center stage. It's in HD. Even Erin Burnett has wrinkles in HD -- yet I still wanna be OutFront. I don't believe in the principle of American Exceptionalism but I believe in the historical reality of it. At least when we're ugly the...

Topic. Put under TV comedies? Really? It's listed right in between "How I Met Your Mother" and "Christmas Time in South Park." B.S.! Dude pisses magenta in one episode; that's not comedy! Fix your categorizing system, Netflix. End of stupid rant.

I did love it. Sorry if I wasn't clear. I was even disappointed when it ended ... so disappointed that I fired up SR2. But I really didn't enjoy the opening boat ride. The game was just as choppy as I remembered and I couldn't stand the control options. Admittedly, it was a bit of SR3 bias that...

Yup, it?s a playground. After having thoroughly immersed myself into Skyrim and all the while constantly worrying if some choice (or some glitch) would interfere with what I wanted my heroic Skyrim tale to be, I needed a break. I decided I wouldn?t care about ? wouldn?t get OCD over ? Saints...

In Japanese story telling, there?s a strong inclination toward stories about extremely independent characters coming together as a unit. Samurai Champloo is one of those stories. Yet it takes its characters? independence to a refreshing extreme. Hardly an episode passes without you wondering why...
