    Colossal - Giant Monsters and Abusive Relationships! Fun!

    Thos director also made Timecrimes, he likes to play around with genres and audience expectations. It doesn't always work, Open Windows was a bit of a mess, but I think he nails it here. It starts like a mix between Drama and Romcom with bizarre Kaiju bits thrown in. Then it morps to a thriller...

    Mass Effect Andromeda Cinematic Trailer Shows Off New Enemies, Including Giant Space Worm

    Bioware has spend every last bit of goodwill they built up over the years. They may be able to get it back, but if DA:I is anything to go by, I highly doubt it. That being said, while my expectations are low, I will still get ME:A, eventually.

    Your worst "Oh hell I am dumb" gaming moment.

    My friends got heavily into Payday 2 over the last couple of weeks and it was only a few days ago that we found out about Perk Deck. It even says "Skills And Perks", none of us just grogged that you could push the title where it says "Perks"...

    That one part of Geek culture you never got into

    Anime,I have really tried to get into and have had a couple of friends show me the "good" stuff, but it just never grabbed me. The overdone style, humor that doesn't work, overacting, convoluted but ultimately pointless plots, filler episodes and the fandom. I sometimes watch some anime again...

    Poll: 2015, The end of The Escapist?

    Well they have had a bunch financial issues, and they seem to be refocusing on more purely gaming related stuff. So less opinion pieces, movie reviews and pop-culture stuff. So Yahtzee will probably stay, but a lot of the other content creators are not long for this site. Also they have faced...

    A Plethora of Content Producers Leave Channel Awesome

    It seems a lot of people assume that one or both sides are some sort of mustache twirling villains, when I think the answer is simple ineptitude. Yeah they haven't made those shows they went on indiegogo, but I don't think they just pocketed the money, it seems they have tried and failed at...

    Lindsay Ellis (Nostalgia Chick) to Leave Channel Awesome

    Yeah reading through the posts linked to in this thread, it seems obvious Channel Awesome is in a transition phase where the higher ups are trying to run things like a real production company, but are kinda flailing and seem out of their depth. And the "talent" are getting angry and straining...

    3/5 DONT BUY EVER SUCKS: Why do we consider these ratings shite

    Well first off, it seems like only the top part of the number scale is being used at any given site, that in itself makes it an unreliable way to gauge whether the game is good or not. With the way it is, bad games almost always gets a score of 5-6 on scale of 10, the reviewer may have gotten...

    Give yourself RPG stats

    STR 14 - I used to be a professional weightlifter and at my peak, 10 years ago or so, I actually calculated what my D&D STR would be. We used the tables for "lift over head" and "lift off ground" and back then my STR was 16. Now I can still lift a good deal, but not nearly as much, but STR 14...

    When are spoilers no longer spoilers?

    Well it is kinda fluid. Take Game of Thrones, the books are pretty old by now (even the newest is from 2011), but because of the tv series being the version everyone is most familiar with, all those old spoilers are suddenly new again. In fact after I saw season one, I plowed my way through all...

    EA Defends Origin From Hardcore Crowd

    To me Origin is just he gatekeeper for Mass Effect 3, I dont think I have even opened the program in the last two month, since I stopped playing the ME3 multiplayer. And I think a lot people feel the same way about it, only you know, also with Battlefield.

    Do you buy games at release or do you wait till it is cheaper?

    I just find it sad that game companies foster this behavior in us, with these price points and "complete editions" there are a lot of mid-level games that have no chance to sell big on release. I think Jim Sterling has talked about having new price points, like 40, 50 and 60$, the problem is...
