What's the matter with Escapist headlines lately? "Games aren't good for adults" and clicking the link quickly changes the headline to "Games aren't good *enough* for adults", which means something completely different. Or what about "The Avengers cost NYC X Billion dollars" and then...

The premise that people are angry because of the Cabin in the Woods ending is just fabrication. This is a movie that is scoring 83% in audience satisfaction on rotten tomatoes. Fans in general thought it was a fun movie. Here's my counter argument: audiences will surely eat up and be sated by...

4th Edition bashing is all fine and good, but I'd like to see more 3rd Edition bashing as well! I am 2nd Edition AD&D all the way! I always felt like 3rd Edition was a simplification of the ruleset made with easy integration into video games in mind. Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights were...

Cool timeline. It should have a picture of the REAL Sega CD though, not the downsized version 2.

I'm glad several readers have pointed out that this type of co-op has been done before. Sonic and Tails immediately came to mind while reading the article but the 2nd player as a 'gunner' is probably the most common form. Still, it is true that there are few games that do this. It is...

My rebuttal: http://whyihateeverything.com/?p=54 I agree with the weaknesses of the movie that you point out except I am less forgiving about the end result. I also thought the CGI was not very good whereas you liked it, for some reason.

Sorry Yahtzee, 2D games age as well. If I go back and play one of my favorite games of all time, Phantasy Star for the Sega Master System, I am disappointed by how crap it looks. 2D art has definitely had a much longer time to develop, whether electronic or not. 2D games are at the point...

Sorry, you can't submit game proposals to developers or publishers like this. It is simply not the way the business operates. The truth is that there are an abundance of ideas so companies are not waiting on ideas from outsiders, even if yours happen to be better.

http://whyihateeverything.com/?p=8 To sum it up - Watchmen = No good.

I am about 6-8 hours in and I do not see what all the raving is about yet. I think I fall into the category of being a series newbie and not understanding all there is to do. All I know is most of the things I try to do aren't doable, you can't go in any of the buildings, you can't start a...

Agree 100% Nelsormensch. I offhandedly mentioned the technology aspect but you give a great breakdown of it.

I'll agree that Nintendo's had the most success here, if only for their portables. I'll also agree that the PSP sales, slim or no, aren't what Sony would like, but to say they suck at slimlining doesn't compute. "awful, tacky, little, cheap knockoffs of once great consoles - their slowing...
