I was expecting to cringe at the video, but it was an intentionally cheesy, tongue-in-cheek joke on how absurd the regular deodorant commercials are, so I'm okay with that. However, I don't really understand the Kickstarter campaign at all. I've never been one to care about the branding of my...

Here are my favorite Katana wielding badasses ... Sorry, I couldn't resist. But in all seriousness, not to sound like some kind of sword hipster here, but katanas are by far the most overrated weapon. That's not to say they're bad, just that "nerd culture" is absolutely obsessed with them...

Perhaps if games had to actually exist before becoming financially viable we wouldn't be in this situation so often. Fuck yes I'm victim blaming the consumers here. I'm not really sure how to feel about all this. On one hand, Sean Murry has well and truly made my list of slimy PR guys, and I...

Wait, so you're pissed off because other people might like a thing more than they like another thing you happen to like? I think it's time to stop taking entertainment, and the critical reactions to said entertainment, so seriously.

I think one of the main problems with user reviews is that they're often far too aware of the aggregate score, and so, many of them often base their scores around "fixing" the existing score by pushing it towards the "correct" value. This is the fourth great fan-boy rage I can think of in recent...

I have a feeling this is a rather American debate, because neither of those seem remotely like anything I've ever head, unless you've just rendered them in a weird way. Car-mel seems like it would be pronounced kɑːmɛl, whereas Car-a-mel seems like it should be pronounced...

Only 200 hours for them to realize they don't like it? What kind of casual-tier reviewing is this? Most of the negative reviews for ARK: Survival Evolved don't seem to go below around 300 hours. Hell, I'm looking at a review right now from someone who's played the game for ~5,000 hours only to...

I used to have rather terrible account security, but I'm in the process of fixing that at the moment. Seriously, I used to store all of my passwords in a plaintext .txt file, and also had repeated passwords (repeated passwords with easy to find personal information, no less). I've been umming...

I feel like this is possibly the pettiest quibble imaginable, but, after watching bits and pieces of the video does anyone else think the lighting inside the vaults is absolutely awful? Considering you can alter the vault in realtime, it seems like a lack of proper lightmaping and reflection...

I've been playing Starbound for most of this morning to see how the 1.0 release compares. Things do seem a bit better, although it does seem to retain that bizarre feeling of pointlessness to about 80% of the mechanics. It's not hard to see where the Terraria/Minecraft comparisons come from, but...

Don't worry, after the success of Zootopia I'm sure they'll begin churning out sequels of rapidly declining quality until everything you liked from the original is a distant memory.

Personally, I don't see the point of forcing the player to watch the cutscenes the first time around, so I'd rather every cutscene was unconditionally skippable. Not that I tend to skip them first time round (they would have to be incredibly boring and long for me to consider it), but it just...

It's because the mean old feminists and religious prudes won't let us! No, just kidding, it's because no one cares about such games. Well, almost no one. It's just too niche of a genre to be much more than a free game on some seedy website.

You know, I've teetered back and forth during this whole controversy trying to figure out which "side" I hate the most, but the film's obsessive haters have been putting in a pretty strong candidacy for the worst group in this whole mess. If there's one piece of bullshit that just needs to die...

I feel like you missed the point also. My post was not about feeling sorry for them, it was about whether or not the deaths of such people would have the positive effect upon human genetics that so many seem to be suggesting (with varying degrees of sincerity). Personally, I don't really feel...
