    You know me, just passing the time.

    I watch people play videogames, because inviting my friends over is too hard, and playing them myself is too... wait, hmm.

    Connecticut State Senator Proposes Arcade Game Ban

    There are at least five thousand state senators in this country. If you start counting mayors, DAs, ADAs, and running candidates, there are an infinite number of people saying dumb stuff. It doesn't matter; it's the equivalent of OPRAH BREAKS GAYLE'S HEART: SHOCKER on tabloid stands. Even if...

    What makes a good bossfight?

    Boss fights should serve the story. If Agent Deathman killed 400 mooks on the way to Nefario's lair, it's ridiculous to pull out a pair of handcuffs in the cutscene. You made a game where I solved every single problem by shooting it; it's ridiculous that now that there's another person worth...

    Poll: Who do you co-op with?

    Looking back, I've been playing co-op for a long time. (I've gone from playing as Tails to P-Body, The Siren to Joanna Dark's Never-Mentioned-Again sister). Who do you play with nowadays? How has it changed over the years? Do you like having a headset on so you can hang out with someone new, or...

    There are thousands and thousands of locations in the game. I don't trust anyone who's actually beaten it.

    No Right Answer: LuthorCorp vs. Stark Industries

    For everyone who says Lex never deals with people attacking his buildings, it happens a lot. Whenever Gorilla Grodd or Joker feels slighted, they blow up an "underused Lexcorp lab", a Luther News Network station, or even his corporate jet (which was divebombed by a suicide bomber gorilla. Really).

    The Most Immoral Thing You've Done in a Video Game

    This gets my vote, because you hurt ACTUAL people, wasting a minimum hour and a half of their lives.

    About Critics (Part 1)

    You read at the gym? Your workout must not be severe enough if you can focus on something other than sweating and what your body is telling you. Or are you just going to the stationary bike and churning out 30 minutes? Good exercise takes FOCUS.

    So, WrestleMania is this Sunday...

    The matches I want to see (Cody/Rey, Sheamus/Bryan) are going to get less time than a match with Snooki. SNOOKI.

    297: Pills Here!

    Your article had a great topic, but you were overly cutesy in places. "So let's doff our caps in humble celebration of the continuing legacy..." do you really talk like that? It's not very conversational. A few games address your points: Farenheit will kill you for mixing alcohol and...
