    Zero Punctuation: Wolfenstein: The New Order

    After finishing this game, I thought it would be worth mentioning that it's a shooter in which you ride several helicopters and none of them manage to crash-land. Although you're pretty much screwed when you get into a car.

    Why the Oculus Rift is a Big Deal

    The question nobody answers for me is what's so good about VR? Immersion needs limits, or else I'd feel cheated that I had to sleep for 1/3 of the time I was playing Skyrim.

    Baffling Comparison Places Kindergarten Cop In Silent Hill

    I'd say more homage than direct setting, like details someone liked from the movie and decided to replicate in-game.

    University Threatens Criminal Charges Over Firefly Poster

    I'm a huge Firefly fan, but it's still not an appropriate message to post on your door. What is this telling students-- that he's going to kill them? I'm pretty sure the administration were dicks about this, but this guy is also an asshole. Who am I supposed to cheer for?

    Who Still Watches Extra Credits?

    I actually tried to watch for the first time yesterday. I couldn't stand the droning high-pitched narration.

    Bombs Away!

    There was a movie called "The Beaver"? "Sucker Punch" wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible. It might appear terrible if you were expecting it to just be another beat-em-up.

    Germany Bans the "Like" Button

    Truth is, your English (while not perfect) is refreshingly superior to that of many English speakers. I took intro German, so I appreciate where you're coming from.

    About Critics (Part II)

    It's like "Inconvenient Truth," but with an alternative opinion.

    On the bright side, mandatory updating to the newer version of Windows hasn't yet been implemented.

    Things to Do Instead of Pirates

    Well, I'm glad you spoiled your opinion on the movie in your column so I don't have to waste time watching your review. Or many in the near future, for that matter.

    Poll: Why isn't Australia in any shooters?

    Personally, no real interest in playing any modern shooters in Australia. Not even invading would persuade me to buy one, I don't think.

    Gay Gamers Want Dragon Age 2 Writer Fired

    Funny, having played through DA2 two and a half times now, I don't get the impression of any characters as strictly "gay"... they just seem like people who are willing to find love (or pleasure, Isabela) wherever they can. Isn't that beyond the hetero-/homosexual issue?

    UK Atheists Hope to Eliminate Jedi Population

    What a gigantic waste of everyone's time. Sheesh.
