    Zero Punctuation: Batman: Arkham Origins

    I bought it on the first weekend based on some positive press and I'm seriously regretting my decision. It should be called "Bugman: Arkham Glitches." From the XBox hangs and freezes, to the numerous missions with no hint as to what you should do, it's a mess. Right now I'm trying to...

    Zero Punctuation: Beyond: Two Souls

    I've been watching some playthrough vids of this on YouTube and I'm glad I did. It's only entertaining for how pretentiously bad and stupid it is.

    Jimquisition: Reasons To Pass On Season Passes

    Exactly. They just want money up front without working for it. Makes me wonder why Hollywood doesn't let you pre-order tickets to movies coming out months from now. Oh, wait. That's because that would be retarded and the general public wouldn't put up with it. Gamers on the other hand are...

    If someone from the 1950s suddenly appeared today, what would be the most difficult thing to explain

    At least when it comes to Americans, it would be how wrong we were about how much. Vietnam, Watergate, civil rights, women's rights, gay /existence/ let alone rights ? each of those things blew this country's mind when they happened. But to be force-fed them all at once? Just the loss in faith...

    Zero Punctuation: Deadpool

    I understand the "Superman 64" reference, but honestly the "Superman Returns" game was just as bad if not worse. Imagine being Superman in an open world game, except the world is empty. Metropolis looked great from about 20 miles up, but once you got near street level it was obvious the...

    Least Favorite Protagonist

    I came here just to sing my scorn of Kratos, and I'm glad to see I was beaten to it. From the moment I realized in the opening level of GoWI that murdering your own guys gave you health my dislike was kindled. It eventually blossomed into full-grown hate when he/I had to drag a caged prisoner...

    Zero Punctuation: BioShock: Infinite

    I bought it because I watched the first hour in a LP on YouTube and was thoroughly wowed. But having finished it I have to say ... meh. Really and truly I'm not trying to troll here. I'm going to be as balanced as I can be, and you'll see a lot of caveats in my criticisms. So let me get some...

    LoadingReadyRun: Rapidfire 3, Episode 3

    *Great* SCTV homage! And just so our younger readers can see what I mean, here's some pure comedy gold: http://youtu.be/oDqY4KO1x8o

    Why is there debate about used games?

    In a word: Gamestop. Unlike other mediums or industries a single company has a lock on the used product market. It's like ... imagine if all used book stores were owned by one corporation. Or if all used homes were sold by one real estate agent. It would be a virtual monopoly. And since they are...

    Zero Punctuation: Batman: Arkham City

    Same here. It's like saying I should always buy cars new, or houses new, or books new, or DVDs new, or clothes new, or furniture new, or appliances new, or consoles new, or domain names new, or ... There are a LOT of industries hurting worse than freaking video game development, yet somehow...

    If monsters were real?

    There are, or have been, LOTS of real monsters. The bigger carnivorous dinosaurs come to mind immediately, as well as things like the saber-tooth tiger, the short-faced bear, the terror bird and Megalodon: Nightmare From the Deep. Today we have the giant and collossal squids, as well as the...

    Escape to the Movies: Super Mario Bros. (Rough Cut)

    Two and a half months later and this neither fooled me nor was funny. I like your reviews. Stick to that.

    Which H.P. Lovecraft book should I read.

    I apologize for presenting you with such an overwhelming mental challenge.

    Which H.P. Lovecraft book should I read.

    Then you didn't read my post, nor the long and detailed analyses by English literature professors to which I linked and who's insight I am only relaying. There IS no such thing as "cosmic horror." It's imaginary. He made it up as metaphor and analogy for real world things. Only a baby thinks...

    Which H.P. Lovecraft book should I read.

    Would you please explain your quotation marks around "cite?" I did cite a Wikipedia article rather than pretend to, as your quote marks imply. But as to your statement, you have reiterated what I had said and what Wikipedia explained in depth: A) He was a bigot in a society considerably...
