    How will the recent controversy effect your media consumption?

    If all these folks threatening to boycott various sites actually go through with it, then yeah, my media consumption would go up. But if its the usually all talk and nothing happens then no real change for me.

    Megan Fox: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Haters Can "F*ck Off"

    I'm going to be in the camp that agrees with her. Folks complained about how bad T4 was all though the making of, trailers, and its release. None of it mattered. It still made stupid amounts of money. One of the biggest opening weekends this year (hopefully to be beaten by GotG), and its the...

    Parents in China Sold Their Children for Video Games

    My wife and I currently live in China. We hope one day to adopt. Every now and then when we tell this to one of the locals they ask us why we just don't go into the country side and buy a child. The thing is, they aren't joking. They're completely serious. Usually it only comes up when my wife...

    Ubisoft CEO Says Company Will Work to Extend Diversity

    Now by saying they'll try to do it, does that mean they'll actually make playable female characters, then decide to disable the option to play them? Then someone else will have to go into the files and find where Ubi buried the option to play the female characters and switch the ability to play...

    LoadingReadyRun: Staggeringly Fast Loans

    I suspect time travel technology. They just keep giving out the same gold brick by sending it back in time after its returned.

    X-Wing Miniatures Game Review - Precision, Planning, and Pure Luck

    I rather enjoy this game, and you don't have to go hog wild on the minis. Usually you can check out what comes with a ship online, and if you check to see what the point value range for the ships are, you can get a feel for how many you might field at a time. Rebel ships are pricey, so you'll...

    China Reveals Censorship Critera for Console Games

    Ah, for PC I just use Steam and a VPN. Usually have to set my computer to download things overnight just because it takes so long though.

    China Reveals Censorship Critera for Console Games

    You using Taobao or some other service? The office where I'm at has a PS4, curious what other options there are aside from it.

    China Reveals Censorship Critera for Console Games

    First off, consoles and their games have been available for sale even before the ban on consoles was lifted. You just had to go to the shopping area for teens, with the shops of cute stuff for girls, the anime shop filled with figures, and look for the shops that had TVs and couches where people...

    Creationist Scientist Wants Airtime on Cosmos for Creationist Views

    I hate to say this, you've got it all wrong. Allow me to tell you about my faith, The Church of the Eternal Timelord. We believe our mystical savior has saved the Earth countless times from alien invasions that have been covered up. Including one that started all live on Earth, and is also the...

    Creationist Scientist Wants Airtime on Cosmos for Creationist Views

    The problem with YEC is that they won't accept the Scientific Method, and then point out the strengths of said method and present them as flaws. Further more, they won't accept any evidence that isn't testable right now. Science has had some crazy hypotheses which although came under quite a...

    Battlefield 4: China Rising Gets Banned in China

    Banned eh? I'll have to wander through the various shops selling copies of the game to see if they've actually been pulled or not. My guess is they'll still be sitting there because nobody actually enforces any of these bans. When I ask them about the ban, I'll be surprised if they've actually...

    Anita Sarkeesian "I'm not a fan of gaming" leaked 2010 video reveals

    This video does not do anything to prove that Anita is not a gamer. What the video shows is a clip from 2010 where she states that she isn't gamer, that she doesn't like certain kinds of video games, and that she is currently researching video games. After that, we have 2013 with various videos...
