    Are Games Losing My Interest, or Is it Just Me?

    While I try not to do this too often, about once a year when my Youtube/Podcast/Netflix queues get a long enough backlog on them I decide to play a Blizzard game on one screen and my movie/video/podcast on the other screen (only reason I got the newest WoW expansion was to do this, though I...

    The First TMNT: Out of the Shadows Trailer Delivers Schoolgirl April O'Neil

    Was this a joke that I just don't understand? If not, then you should probably know that Bebop and Rocksteady not only outdate Tokka and Rahzar, but that the second duo were only created to avoid needing the legal clearance of using Bebop and Rocksteady in the original movies.

    The Reason You're (Not) A Console Gamer

    Makes sense. I need a computer for my job, so instead of buying both a computer and a console I just buy a slightly better computer than I would otherwise get. In the long run the extra cash I pump into my computer to bring it up to gaming status is way less than it would cost to switch to...

    Star Wars' "Black Stormtrooper" to Critics: "Get Used to it"

    Maybe it's just how I'm reading it, but the tweet (or post or whatever the hell it was) looks more to be saying "I am hinting that I am an important character and will be around for most of this movie and possibly future ones" and not "TAKE THAT RACISTS!" I don't see any stab at criticism or any...

    How Your Mind Screws with You in Games Like Diablo

    You... you did what to the poor little gnome? You are bad people and you should feel bad about yourselves. Ah, who am I kidding, that's hilarious. I just hope you all pitched in for his repair bill. This also brings up an interesting idea linked with superstitions. There's a chance that your...

    Should Any Aspect of Gaming Be Off-Limits to Discussion?

    I think there are a lot of people (in this forum and many others) that confuse the ideas of criticizing the critic (including insults), criticizing criticism (including dismissal), and counterpointing criticism. First, out of the way, the first one is almost never useful and should be avoided in...

    No Right Answer: Worst Pet Ever - Cats Worse Than Dogs?

    One thing I've noticed about the more extreme of dog vs cat people. Extreme cat lovers tend to just not like the idea of dogs, and don't want one. Extreme dog lovers hate cats and think they are a horrible plague on society and f cat people because they are terrible and stupid. I'm sure this...

    SDCC 2014: Car Swarmed, Woman Injured During Comic-Con Zombie Walk

    If you insist. Parades or crowds around convention centers and sports centers frequently block traffic. Sometimes it's poor event planning, sometimes they are allowed to and the streets are either not marked well or the drivers just ignore the markings (see this one very frequently... road...

    SDCC 2014: Car Swarmed, Woman Injured During Comic-Con Zombie Walk

    Also noted, not ok to swear at someone who is endangering your life or they get to just up and try to kill you. I love the life lessons here!

    SDCC 2014: Car Swarmed, Woman Injured During Comic-Con Zombie Walk

    Cool, didn't know it was ok to run people over just because they were in your way. Glad that's cleared up.

    Get Into the Running for a Free Copy of Watch_Dogs

    Thank you for at least having an option where I don't have to get a twitter account (that is never going to happen) or spam my friends/family on facebook with some contest they don't give a damn about (I've blocked people for that type of crap). Also, lockerdome isn't evil, just the way people...

    No Right Answer: Is Game of Thrones Overrated?

    Only seen a few scenes as I walked past the living room while others were watching the show (every single one had a naked person... every single one. You can't convince me this isn't porn, as that's my only experience with it, and if I wanted to watch porn I would do so with less torture and...

    Win A Copy of Three Tabletop Miniatures Games

    What the hell? I signed into my lockerdome account (only have one set up because I know the guy who owns the website... didn't realize it has expanded from just sports since the last time I signed in) and I hit enter to join the contest and... it brings me to twitter. I don't have a twitter...

    Pachter: Why Would Anyone Buy A Wii U?

    As an almost exclusively PC gamer I'm sure my opinion of consoles doesn't really count, especially when summing up numbers to figure out which console will and won't win the next generation. However, when I finally do get a new console, I'm split between if it will be a 3DS or a Wii U, as...

    Smash Bros. Director Is Stressed Out Deciding The Roster

    Wouldn't it be easy to cut the cast down quickly if you just took a bunch of the clone characters and made them unlockable/secret alternative costumes for the main cast. This would clean up the selection menu, keep the move sets simple for balancing issues, and allow for more characters instead...
