    What are the top 3 best and worst games of E3?

    I really want to get onboard for Scalebound because I think the concept is cool and like Platinum's stuff but I cannot get past what a tool the main character looks like. I immediately thought of him as a millennial Dante wannabe sans charm...or really any redeeming qualities; and then I saw the...

    Strange Things You Have Seen In Your Town or City.

    I live in a small town in Virginia and, oh, last summer or the one before; the town council was going back through centuries and decades old laws and weeding out ones no longer relevant to modern sanity. One came up regarding Tarot card readings and witchcraft, and the need for weird special...

    Protein World: "Body Positivity" and a lesson on how not to motivate people

    While I don't support the company's response due its dismissive and aloof nature ruining what otherwise could have been a respectable stance; I think its possible that same response is part backlash itself. Obviously this is conjecture but I know a lot of people, including myself, tired of the...

    Are we creating a generation of victims?

    We definitely are creating, or already have created, a generation of victims. Or worse yet "survivors" Every bad thing in their lives was life threatening, now. "Oh, good, I fall into this group of hapless victims; I now no longer am responsible for my faults or lack of social cue recognition...

    games you like but you can?t play very well.

    Same goes. Love me an RTS but I just don't seem have the proper... mental processes to be anything but middling at them. "Hmm that power plant would look nicer if I had placed a few inches further from the...oh.." Also I like your cute Tyranid.

    Things you'd like to see in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

    I'm really glad that Morrigan is back but I would like to see them preserve her as a character. Obviously wiser and more experienced in the world(s) is one thing but if she is to be an LI she should still never fall in love with you. I liked how romancing her meant you had to basically love a...

    CliffyB Thinks Used Games Are Bad, Sony is "Playing Us"

    Wow, that's also a really excellent point. Another reason I'm skeptical of this whole product to service transition. I don't know I always buy games new because I want to support games being made that I think are worth buying fully so I don't really have a lot of experience buying used or with...

    CliffyB Thinks Used Games Are Bad, Sony is "Playing Us"

    I think I see the point you're making, Baldr, and its one I hadn't considered to be honest. I suppose it makes my comparisons not really hold up well. Though I will say I do think it is the publisher's responsibility to make a game both worth buying new and kept to a budget it can cover with...

    CliffyB Thinks Used Games Are Bad, Sony is "Playing Us"

    I'm sorry, I just don't understand why the video game industry thinks it should have some special exemption from used sales. When I buy a used car does the original manufacturer get a cut? When I sell an old tv to a friend does samsung get a cut? Besides, I fail to see why we are responsible for...
