I actually didn't like it. It's not much of a mystery if you dump all the clues in the last 15 minutes of the story in hastily spoken exposition dump.

Stop giving PETA publicity. That's exactly what they want.

What about characters from League of Legends? Some of the most popular females in that game aren't standard, sexy, or attractive. There's several non-human females. There's Vayne, a hunter who wears a (surprisingly) non-sexualized cat suit. There's the punky brawler Vi. The armored dragoness...

I would give you more credit if you did more than just read the patch notes and write an article parroting it. There's tons of developer commentary and community investment in this patch. You could have taken the time to look through Riot posts on the forums about it and take quotes from...

Why must these be mutually exclusive? The Bible doesn't explain how God created the universe. It just says he did it. The theory of evolution neither disproves nor invalidates God's existence and His work in creation. Admittedly, the theory may conflict with radical fundamentalist views that...

Staying on topic and avoiding this needless drama... Ivy is one "sexy" character that always looked ugly to me. Her outfits always make her look absolutely ridiculous. While other characters wear armor or elegant outfits, here's a lady who's wearing fetish wear.

I thought Krystal from Star Fox was sexy at first. Prior to release of SFA, she was advertised as an attractive and independent tribal heroine dealing with creatures several times her own size using a magical staff. Okay, she was a fox but it just made her exotic in my view. But no, SFA turned...

You're quite right, but this is a different scenario. The "betrayal" comes from the developers, not the person. This issue has nothing to do with accepting an individual's identity or being disgusted with who they are. If the video criticizes anything, it's attacking the games utilizing copious...

I see what you did there. *Gives a smug grin, then gets mauled by a raccoon that pops out of Yahtzee's hat* OHGAWDHELPME

I don't understand the whole point of this. Does Mass Effect 3 force your avatar to have a homosexual relationship? To me, I just wasted 8 minutes of my day listening to disturbing homosexual porn.

Based on your article, I thought of a more concise rule for companion design: The companion should contribute to the game's objective. Good support companions contribute to the game's objective by actively helping the player achieve the objective. They kill zombies, maybe give the player...

George, do you even know what a cold-blooded killer is? Greedo pretty much says "I'm going to murder you and steal your ship." Exactly how does killing his would-be murderer paint Han Solo as a cold-blooded killer? A better and cheaper alternative would be just changing Greedo's dialogue...

Game companies, you should focus on a system that's beneficial to both consumers and game companies. We're in a recession, people are struggling to keep jobs, and AAA titles are getting more expensive. If you aren't willing to adapt to your consumers, then they're are going to give their...

What's sad is that Pincus will consider this more of a compliment than an insult. I can see him framing it and mounting it on a wall in his office, considering how much of a troll Zynga's CEO is. Hopefully, Apple will do something about this. Maybe he'll reconsider his "plagarize now, settle...

At a glance, it seems silly, but it's fair. If you injure someone because of your stupidity, you should pay for their expenses, even if it did kill you.
