    DELETED

    GameFAQs hardly has a scientifically rigorous means of determining which game is best, but anything that hits the top five is at least worth further investigation.

    Solar Farm Rejected For Fear of Too Much Energy Sucking

    I read an interesting piece on the subject by a biologist who is definitely in favour of renewables. He looked deeper, and found that many of the concerns raised in the town were actually fairly legitimate. Like how there actually is some heavy metal content in the panels that might pose some...

    The end is here! Armagordon is unleashed! (I am attempting to spread the word about a strategy game)

    Sword one was quite good. They may have Baroquen something for 2. (It's a joke about how the Baroque period was characterized by intensive ornamentation) I've played Kaiju-A-GoGo. It's quite good. Not perfect, but satisfying and enjoyable enough that I'm making a bit of noise here and there...

    The end is here! Armagordon is unleashed! (I am attempting to spread the word about a strategy game)

    The Kerberbros at Kerberos have gotten their new strategy game, Kaiju-A-GoGo, fully armed and operational. If you like either strategy games or giant monsters, check it out. The launch kaiju, Ginormasaurus, teaches us that when all you ave is a giant robot dinosaur, all of your problems do...

    Freedom! Glorious freedom!

    I have watched three videos in a row, three, and not once have I see a video advertisement for [expletive delected] World of Warcraft! I'd heard about the [expletive delected] Iron [expletive delected] Horde so many times I was ready to form the Ironforge Vitrification Society. I'd seen the same...

    Is it time for feminists to step off our hobby?

    I do not count myself among feminists, though I do count myself as a skeptic, and as a skeptic I examine claims of 'X group is being undervalued and/or having to jump additional hurdles made of arbitrary bullshit' and often find that there's a good point there. So when someone wearing a...

    Supervolcano Melts Roads into "Asphalt Soup" at Yellowstone National Park

    The chance of that volcano doing anthing more interesting than occasionally shaking or blasting hot water in to the air for the next hundred thousand years is pretty low. When it does go off, the whole world will notice, to a degree ranging from inconvenient to apocalyptic. If you are far away...

    So... Borderlands Pre Sequel. Gearbox milking the ip like Atlus with Persona

    This looks like it could be an interesting game. Gearbox/2K has dropped the ball a few times, but Borderlands has been pretty solid. I am optimistic. The part I'm interested in is the decision not to build it for the new consoles. I do not know how much more costly it is to make games for the...

    The Fun Box, China's First Home-Grown Console, To Debut This Month

    I am curious as to how this will go. Maybe it will be a flop, maybe it will have a big stack of good games and end up sold all over the world. Probably somewhere between the two. The name seems kind of weird, but it's nice to have the goal of the thing stamped on the front. This is a Fun Box...

    Could anyone care less about the Wii U at this point?

    The Wii U's touchpad controller seems like a really weird decision to me, but the other two seem to be mostly going on about how they're good for not playing games, so at least Nintendo remembered what the bloody thing was for. I'm not really falling over myself with the desire to purchase...

    The Poke-O-Matic Automatically Finds Shiny Pokemon While You Sleep

    Brilliant bit of engineering. And it raises questions, like how much grinding and randomness is really a good thing to put in to a game before frustration risks overtaking fun. Now, I was never what you'd call hugely in to Pokemon, though I've played a couple games, and found them fun for a...

    Jimquisition: The Wacky Harassment Blame Parade

    Honestly, I hadn't heard much about Depression Quest until this cherry little shitstorm erupted. ZQ hasn't done a bloody thing (that I've seen, anyway) to draw the fire of the many and varied assholes of the internet, and I am increasingly tempted to buy her game out of spite. So yeah, I...

    Poll: Let's Get Some Honesty, Shall We? (Regarding Big Breasts/Sexy Female Game Characters)

    The answer I want is not on the poll. "Yes, I like breasts. Within a certain size range, because there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Also, hypersexualizing characters can get really creepy, really fast, and that it is disproportionately female characters who are handled in this...

    Regarding The New Video Advertisements

    To that which it may concern: 'sup. I've been hanging around here for a while. Watching videos, reading articles. You know, that kind of thing. And I complain sometimes. It's a thing I do. If something seems like a questionable idea, I will point that out. So, about those new ads in front...

    Poll: Has Sony already won?

    Hard for Sony to win when we've yet to find out anything aobut the damn thing beyond that it has a new button on the controller and the ability to post videos to YouTube that will be hit with a copyright takedown notice before you can say 'Whose bloody idea was this?'. Here's how the next...
