Who rapes women because they dress provactively? Last I checked, all of our psychological research seemed to suggest women were raped as part of a power struggle by some who are mentally ill; it had nothing to do with whether they had a short skirt on or not.

The internet is doing to PC gaming/development what it is doing to nearly every media industry that hasn't totally locked itself down yet: breaking up the Old Boy's Club and letting the new guys in. Let me explain. News, movies, episodic shows, writing, music and other mediums have long been...

The irony of this post is incredible. X-Box Live moderators can ban you from ever playing online games again on your console. You would have to buy another X-Box. There is no appeal process, no way to fight them, and if you sue, you will be buried in court for so long you'll be left with...

Japan is the only country on this entire planet to have EVER been attacked with nuclear weapons, and they were hit with TWO OF THEM. By who? Why the mighty United States, that's who. Japan got their payback for Pearl Harbour over 60 years ago. Let it go.

Whether the EULA says that or not, legal precedant in the US and Europe shows that a contract is not legal if it gives a consumer less rights than is guaranteed by the law. If this ever happens to you, take it to small claims court for the price of the game plus money for the inconvenience and...

I've played on the X360 and the PC and noticed HUGE differences in the style of play. On the 360, virtually no one uses their headsets (like the PS3, this is the case with nearly all the games I've played) and I can probably count the number of times an ammo or health kit went down on two hands...

My two big ones are Fable 2 and Modern Warfare 2. Peter Molyneux is so full of shit... sure, Fable 2 has multiplayer, but it sucks so hard I don't even know why you would bother playing it. And somehow, the game ended up not being as good as the first, even though it seems like it would be...

Kefka is the perfect example of how to do a villain. Let me just put it this way: half way through the game, your quest stops being about saving the world and starts being a quest for revenge. I will not spoil it any further than that. Seriously play through this game if you haven't already...

I'm not about to start a pride parade, but I am not shy about being a gamer. Anyone who knows me past my name knows I like to play games. Most of them do not share my enthusiasm, but they don't think any less of me for it. In fact, I do a great deal other things. They always ask how the hell...

I think that it is less that he acts differently in uniform, and more that the uniform represents what way he is acting. Obviously he is conflicted though, and it seems that if the relationship with Penny had continued, he may have at least reconsidered his way.

Wow, I've been thinking of this movie for days now. I mean aside from how funny it is, the theme of "who is the good guy?" runs through the whole movie.

It's funny, I was going to say the same thing. I love Mount & Blade to death, and it is an amazing game, but it doesn't quite capture the feeling of Bushido Blade combat. Then again, I wasn't quite looking for BB combat from M&B for reasons obvious to anyone who has played M&B. You know, I...

Paying customers can't play the game when anything happens to their internet connection, the internet itself, Ubisoft's connection, Ubisoft's server, or any other hiccup that might be encountered. Meanwhile, pirates are playing the game regardless. It's been said many times, but this was...

There is a word my friend often uses to describe something he dislikes, and I had a desire to make it sound silly... hence, CackAttack. Much lulz ensued from this name. However, it was while playing Planetside and developing a name for myself with virtually any anti-air weapon in the game...

Starsiege Tribes. I had just killed a guy near the base, and turned back to guard the flag. But then I saw a guy jetting in, fast, for it. I took a guess and fired a disk at the flag base, hoping for a hit. And just as he touched the flag and it mentions the flag capture on screen, he...
