    Rebecca Mayes Muses: Heavy Rain

    I didn't quite understand what you were trying to express, but it was definitely interesting to watch and listen to. I kinda missed your usual subtitles. Sexy, slinky suit, though. I understood that you were sort of going for that performance arts thing at the start, but the mud and the cows...

    Zero Punctuation: Metal Gear Solid 4

    what's funny is that I think that the people who are agreeing with yahtzee are people who were never really into the series, which would explain the lackluster review. I think he just got so confused, but didn't want anyone to be butthurt, that he sort of half-assed trying to learn the game's...

    Zero Punctuation: Metal Gear Solid 4

    I was confused at why he said you needed to hold triangle :| I don't think Yahtzee understood the controls very well, thus the complaints. On the other hand, perhaps its the game's fault for not guiding your hand with a tutorial on how to play the game. I mean, honestly, this the best...

    Zero Punctuation: Metal Gear Solid 4

    I was expecting so much more, yet I received so little... As for the lack of tactical espionage, its due to the developers' decision to make the game easy for the stupids in the world. The controls aren't bad, either, and honestly, its not meant to be played as a cover-based shooter. You...

    140: Mass Effect Saves Humanity - for What?

    So in other words, someone needs to make a game out of either the Hitchhiker Guide books, or Odyssey: 2001

    137: Idea Sex in the Classroom

    As the article initially points out, the problem with learning has so much more to do with entertainment than anything else. If the learning material (or how that material is being taught) isn't entertaining, then of course its dreaded and loathed by reluctant students. But that's not where...

    Zero Punctuation: Call of Duty 4

    I'm kind of surprised by how optimistic he was with this review. I guess it just rubbed him right, though the game's single player campaign felt a little stale to me.

    133: How to Be a Wizard

    ....are you serious? I want to do this now D: Maybe when that PSP accessory comes out...

    133: The First Steps to the Holodeck

    Whenever I come across this topic, the one thing I think that is the most important out of all of these is how control input is managed. If games simulated a world, but you still had the same physical capabilities as you do now, then what's so great about it to begin with? Lucid dreams in...

    132: Play Like a 3-Year-Old

    wow, you know, I don't think I've thought like a three year old in a long long time. I even remember being really frustrated by how much time it took between the end of a level and mario walking into the pipe. Seriously. How bizarre is that? It just goes to show that games targeted towards...

    FF Preference

    oh come on, this is too easy. Why do people say they like FF7 and FFX? Why do you think? Its because they're both the first FFs of their respective platforms, that's why. The difference between the 2D era and the 3D era is that FF7 was the beginning of what would become the much-larger RPG...

    114: Midgar is Burning

    I think you can find drama anywhere there are people who are passionate and far too deep in. Its true though, I think girls are more inclined to write stories and make fanart, though the boys do too. I remember back when I tried to write fan fiction, I came across a female fan fiction writer...

    114: Midgar is Burning

    oh my, I was wondering why this article was compelling to read. Good stuff, Leigh. As for myself, for a few short years, I was amidst not the AOL chatrooms, but instead, the IRC. It was there where there were true macros and calculation systems being used, some so elaborate and detailed...
