Step 1: Make bait for progressive hipsters Step 2: Watch them take bait and produce tons of free coverage Step 3: Fuel shitstorm with more nonsense to "justify" it Step 4: Profit Did you rike it?

Macross, and yes, I'd say so. Remember setting the VCR to 2am to catch the sci-fi channel anime block. Later got Tank Police and Tenshi Muyo. Good times.

My doodle of me snatching kettlebells overhead would be a physical wreckingball, doing massive blunt damage. Name: For whom the bells toll (Tribute to Metallica, since they are metal). Power: Slip-grip, flinging the kettlebell at angles that are hard to predict, which might backfire on user...

Here is the reason why they have fantasy creatures being the butt end of racism: They wanted to show how really evil actual, gritty racial persecution could be in a time of feudal lords. And if they hung and burnt black people for being "lesser, subhuman, inferior" etc... well, we all know how...

Raiden said it best in MKX when Kung Jin voiced his worry of acceptance: "People don't care if you want the D, brah." Have interesting characters with depth. To make sexuality, gender or skin-color a defining trait is lazy and shallow. I am glad MKX left the homosexuality with a line, and...

If you treat a woman diffrently than you would a man, simply because she is a woman, that is, by the literal definition, sexism. Doesn't need a prefix like "benevolent". If you treat a gender as inferior and in need of help, that is, again by literal definition, chauvinism. Both of these can be...

Oh, for sure. And I agree. You don't get to shit on one person who is in the "wrong camp" and then ignore shortcomings of another when he is in the "right camp". That is how you construct an echo-chamber, which is a tomb for any real discourse and personal growth.

I love how people think they have a moral high ground on Brandon Morse when they will defend Bob "There are (almost) no bad tactics, only bad targets" Chipman to the bitter end. I came back to The Escapist because there is finally enough room for different perspectives to make the site engaging...

Would add a rule 6: The best laid plans often goes right out the window, with cake. Nothing is going to go exactly as planned, and no matter how well you prepare, you will find that players have a knack to come up with things that not even Nostradamus could see coming. That's how the strange...

Pretty much my sentiment as well. Been around since 09, came for Yahtzee, stayed for Unskippable, and gotta say I really like the new editor in chief's approach and energy. Got a good feeling about the direction things are going. Change is always interesting at very least.

Necroposting? This whole debate is silly. Piracy, trade and used games sales is something the gaming industry brought upon themselves. There is a piss-easy way to counter piracy; Cut the price of a game by 75% or so, and the developers would still make a killing. Valve did it with left 4 dead...

*shrug* I buy ALL my games used if I can. Or borrow them from my brother/friends and spend nothing on it. There is a small core of favorites I support, and some I buy when at a considerably reduced price (like 80% of my games on STEAM). The entertainment business is not a charity. When you...

Friendly fire... isn't

Gotta agree that the NPC characters in Mass Effect 2 is less than awesome when it comes to use. I have beaten the game three times already, and find myself returning to Grunt for all purpose fighting and damage-soaking (having TWICE the HP as any other character through two piss-easy upgrades...

1: The fact that this is a sequel, which in and of itself is a bad thing 2: The fact that this is more similar to Gears of Chest-high Walls than Mass Effect 1 3: Scanning, if he even bothers with it, considering he pretty much ignored half of ME1, and scanning is not needed until the...
