    Poll: Male Gamers: Do you consider Kratos aspirational?

    His physique is certainly something that's worth aspiring for. Otherwise, I would say Kratos is best observed as a character, not to serve as an inspiration for young boys and men anywhere.

    Kojima On MGS 5's Quiet: I Meant Sexy, Not Erotic

    The industry certainly is full of man babies when a well respected Japanese developer can't design a game without getting American developers hot and bothered about the latest controversy craze, sexism. Call me crazy, but I think game designers should be free to design the games they want...

    Horror Game Jam Takes Games Away from Mental Health Stereotypes

    They're no longer just content to harass current developers into changing their own games content. No, they finally feel the need to take things into their own hands. In a way it's rather admirable.

    Lionhead Dev: Half of Developers Will Be Women in 10 Years

    Gender does not need to represented equally in any industry. What any industry needs is competent workers, regardless of gender. No company should be hiring based on qualities such as gender to fulfill a quota when they can hire people who know what they're doing (not to say there aren't women...

    Zero Punctuation: Pikmin 3

    People tend to complain about reviews when the score is dragged down because of things that don't actually affect the gameplay. Sexism is the big topic at the moment (hence the complaints about W101 and DC reviews).

    Bureaucracy-Em-Up

    I still find it kind of interesting that there was an uproar about a transsexual joke but a joke about Auschwitz was fine by comparison. I guess we've officially passed the "too soon" phase for Nazi war crimes.

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

    Shame Yahtzee had to change the joke. I do remember him saying once that political correctness driven censorship only serves to drive groups further apart, and that tolerance is being able to laugh at any joke. Still, I trust it wasn't his choice and the video is still pretty good. Made me...

    Why it is acceptable to criticize smokers, but not fat people?

    In Australia fat people are one of the three main public enemies, the other two are smokers and reckless drivers.

    PETA: Mario is Pro Fur

    At this point PETA has to be trolling. No one can be that stupid.

    Skyward Sword Will Take Dozens of Hours to Finish, Says Nintendo

    Personally I thought the Zelda games had a decent length to them already... Hopefully this one isn't long because of really huge environments or repeated puzzles.

    Video Game "Hurt" Stories

    Blisters on my fingers and palm from those old stick rotation games from Mario Party. Probably the only sort of injury I've had from games.

    Most dangerous creatures you ever saw. In a zoo doesn't count. has to be wild.

    I've seen a couple of brown snakes in my life, but every few weeks I'll see a redback spider somewhere.

    Das Paradox

    Not sure if it's been said yet, but the one where you strap buttered toast to a cat's back with the butter facing up. Anti-gravity!

    Jack Thompson Threatens Gabe Newell Over School Shooter Mod

    "your Half-Life murder simulator was obsessively played, and thus became a training aid, for a) teenaged Robert Steinhauser, who authored at Erfurt, Germany, the worst school shooting massacre in European history, and b) Seung-Hi Cho, who authored at Virginia Tech University the worst school...
