    The Big Picture: Leave Michael Bay Alone

    As always, I know no one cares about what I think, but I'm going to say it anyway. I don't buy that we are all responsible for the 'poor quality' of movies and media in general these days. That isn't to say I disagree with the point Bob is making, I actually wholeheartedly agree. However, we...

    Jimquisition: Air Control - A Steam Abuse Story

    Just chipping in to say that Steam needs better categorization on top of some quality control. Even if you devoutly believe that all this dredge is good for Steam, it's pointless if the users can't sort through it. Seriously, it's so difficult to just browse for titles you might be interested in.

    The Big Picture: Wunderpants - Wonder Woman's New Clothes

    I'm with Bob in that the pants don't make that big of a difference. I can see both sides to the argument and the larger argument around that, but it really doesn't matter whether she's got that one-piece or a bustier and some trousers. The character herself is sort of beyond that, though there...

    John Oliver Rallies Internet Commenter "Monsters" For Net Neutrality

    Is anyone really surprised by this? Such a thing was bound to happen, it was only a matter of time. For a country whose national dream is to get rich, they protect the corporations that make tons of money while flipping off anyone who's buying from them. The only thing that gives me any...

    The Big Picture: She-Hulk Shaming

    Eh, I don't know if one more opinion is important, but figured I'd give it a shot. I've not read a single comic except for a handful of Spiderman ones, and my knowledge about all the others is limited to what Bob's told us and what I've been reading in these threads. That said, from what I do...

    Zero Punctuation: FTL: Faster Than Light - Exploding Spaceships

    I've only ever beat the flagship on easy, but that's without any mods. It really is OP, and you need to have defenses for absolutely every kind of tactic you can think of in order to completely defeat it. The game is fun, but it's a specific fun. It's not the kind of game you play to win...

    The Totally Hipster Elements in inFamous: Second Son

    That would be pretty damn cool. I mean, completely pointless if you're casting an ice spell, but awesome visual effect if someone freezes within a ring of fire. Yeah, I got nothing for that. Come to think of it, we really shouldn't be seeing a bunch of sparks coming off of Cole's arms unless...

    The Totally Hipster Elements in inFamous: Second Son

    When was the last time you got knocked on your ass by a ray of sunshine? If all it took was a bit of light to hit someone then a flashlight would be the go-to weapon of choice. EDIT: Sorry, torch, if you're British.

    The Totally Hipster Elements in inFamous: Second Son

    To be fair, Yahtzee did mention that at the beginning of the article. Of all the 'elements' touched on by Sucker Punch so far, Neon is the only literal element. But the way we're using the term goes back to the kind of thinking the ancient Greeks had. Challenge accepted. Let's see how much...

    The Big Picture: Ranking the Marvel Movies

    Well, there's a whole bunch of lists on here. Too bad I don't have one to add. So instead I'll react to stuff. I'm honestly surprised that Thor was put above its sequel, not because it was bad but because a couple of disappointing elements are shared between the two. Thor's redemption arc was...

    Jimquisition: The Unholy Trinity Of Blind Greedy Bastards

    Yeah, yeah, I know. I don't always pay close attention when I make verbal shortcuts. Not all AAA publishers and developers are crap, but a few rotten apples spoil the bunch. Bethesda's got a nice variety streak going with Dishonored and the upcoming Evil Within, and From Software's doing what...

    Jimquisition: The Unholy Trinity Of Blind Greedy Bastards

    Well there you have it, AAA bigwigs either don't know of or don't care about the millions made off of games like Dark Souls and Skyrim and just about every other game out there. They can stay that way for all I care, heavens forbid that they spread their unwelcome influence to these other...

    Jimquisition: An Industry Of Pitiful Cowards

    I agree with everything said in the episode, no surprise there, but I'm most fond of that ending. Thank God for you, Jim.

    The Big Picture: Who Are The Guardians of the Galaxy?

    The only reason I understood any of what Bob said is because I've been watching his videos doggedly ever since The Avengers. That Bob himself doesn't know half of this stuff makes me worried about how I'm going to comprehend it. My biggest concern is that they've made this with an attitude of...

    Electronic Arts: Greed Is Not the Problem

    The last thing this thread needs is another opinion, but screw it I'm going to say mine. First off, I wouldn't exactly call Valve a model company, especially of late. They do some things really good, but they do some other things really bad. But that's not really what I came to talk about...
