The main one being Leigh Alexander's. I just reread it, and frankly, she is right. The old demographic labeling of what people stereotypically think of as a "Gamer" was already fading. She outlines what she means by "Gamer," the idea that marketers have had that says that Video games are for...

The reason I did not mention that is that it did not come out that all of that were lies made up by the aforementioned ex boyfriend until a week or so later. It is interesting to note, however, that GG was born in an act of harassment of a woman (by the ex boyfriend). This article has a good...

People who are labeled as "SJWs" do not call themselves that. It is a pejorative term used by GGers to refer to those who are offended by the harassment of women in the industry. Lets look at the timeline overview here: GG started as a group trying to shame everyone involved in the Zoe Quinn...

Manuals are tiring for long trips. In the US, many individual states are larger than the UK, and it becomes a literal pain to have to constantly shift gears because of changes in traffic. Also, in the US you very rarely have to worry about some idiot rolling back and hitting you when trying to...

The way I see it, the worst mistake they made was not including the Leviathan DLC storyline in the main game. That reconciles pretty much everything you dislike about the ending- what many people don't like about it. Instead it leaves you to try to infer thing you could not possibly know...

I hope that now that they know that it will have a bit of a run, the story pacing will get much better. I liked the first season, but it moved VERY fast compared to The Last Airbender. I will watch it either way though, and I am quite excited for it to be on on friday.

See, when they do that, it is a kind of test. If you call back on the 8th day to check with them, they will usually think that you really want the job more than the others if you took the time to follow up. If they have already hired someone else and didn't call you back either way, they are...

Maybe this is what the sequel will be; the galaxy has realized that this is a problem, and they need to change their ways to fix it! It will be called "Mass Effect: The Space Lorax." But all kidding aside, this is the only way in which I can see there being a larger threat to the galaxy than...

My reccomendation is getting a USB gamepad for games that you can't remap to esdf. As a console gamer you will be comfortable with the controls, and for some games it is actually better ( Skyrim, IMO, is way more intuitive with a gamepad). Logitech has some pretty good ones that will only run...

I was thinking the same thing. Also, given the repetative nature of the levels in DA2, it shouldn't be that hard to have one level be as big as all of DA2's levels combined. I think DA:O could probably say the same thing as DA3 in this regard. I just hope that this won't be an overreaction to...

Well, I know what I am getting today after I get paid. And any game that quotes the escapist in their trailer can't be all that bad. Although, I had really already decided this after hearing Susan's opinion on it. :)

And my axe! I have been interested in trying oblivion for a while now, but somehow overlooked it. I'm in!

It actually is self defense, but not in the way that you are thinking. It started as way way to keep the governments of the world (including our own) on their toes, giving the people the power. There is a reason that no one has invaded since 1812. That was the idea behind having it be in the...

Really? I beg to differ.

With the amount of cash flow that would be created by mass space exploration, not to mention all the jobs, I think that this is exactly the time to do it. We are still recovering from an economic downturn, and this is the most massive a stimulus we could give the world right now. We could even...
