    The Big Picture: Batfleck

    Is it just me or is Moviebob fed up with Batman in general? He really seemed to dislike the character in the video, or at least the modern "grim and gritty" interpretation of him. Regardless, I agree with his point that Zack Synder is the far more problematic element then Ben Affleck.

    Zero Punctuation: Papers, Please and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons

    I have to say, I am very refreshed and enthused to see a game that expands on non-combat elements in terms of game design. We definitely don't have enough of those games in the industry. It also makes sense that the "moral choices" are more gripping, because the tedium of work is more relatable...

    The Big Picture: In Defense of "Booth Babes" (sort of)

    Eh, I don't know, while I've never had any personal objections towards the supermodels at conventions as people (Moviebob is right here; they are just doing their jobs), I think their overly prevalent appearances aren't indicative of positive trends in the game industry. I mainly say this...

    Console exclusives: are they really necessary?

    Console exclusives are one of those things that are deemed extremely necessary now but I envision years from now people will look back on them and laugh and/or feel ashamed. It certainly doesn't really benefit games as an art or even as a medium, and it will severely hurt games from a historical...

    Jimquisition: Gamer Guys

    Brilliant satire, put the gender discussion in a whole other viewpoint. Hopefully people who malign "girl gamers" without understanding the hateful repercussions of their actions will feel a little more ashamed after they see their rhetoric through the opposite lens, but that's not very likely...

    Do you find the Confederate Flag offensive?

    I should elaborate more, to be honest. Medical care back then was a complete and total joke. Thomas Jefferson, one of the richest people at the time, had six children, but only two of them survived, and only one of them lived past 25. I guess it was a nice gesture to send in a doctor, but it...

    Do you find the Confederate Flag offensive?

    That's a pretty sanitized version of slavery. In many plantations, field slaves were not given adequate medical care and housing, because they were so numerous that it would not be profitable for slave-owners to give their slaves such "luxuries." This was particularly true of plantations that...

    Was Goku Retarded?

    Goku is literally brain-damaged (when he bumped his head when he was a child, erasing his Sayajin programming, that damaged his memory, therefore, his brain), that is a fact. However, that doesn't necessarily make him retarded. There is a difference between those terms. EDIT: To clarify...

    Do you find the Confederate Flag offensive?

    Hey, I never said that our, or any other country, was perfect. But I'd say that the Confederacy was worse than the nation that we have today. This extends beyond slavery (and, while our current justice and immigration systems might share some aspects of slavery back then, it's nowhere near as...

    Do you find the Confederate Flag offensive?

    Yes, it represents a nation that upheld several immoral values. Besides, it seems rather pointless, since you're just showing the banner of the losing team. But of course I'm going to think all of these things because I am a Northerner, and am therefore of the belief that the Confederacy can...

    Ubisoft Scheming to Defeat EA and Activision

    Ubisoft is barely comparable to developers like THQ, 2K, Valve, and Epic in terms of popularity in the gaming world, let alone comparable to SCEA and Zenimax. What are they thinking? That's like saying that you want the highest ranking official in the U.S army when you're not even the highest...
