    Escape to the Movies: The Kings Speech

    You know, I've stopped watching The Big Picture. I do nothing but complain at GameOverthinker. But, damn it, if Bob and I don't seem to agree about the Academy Circle Jerk. Considering Oscar's declining ratings on television, I think this has become pretty common knowledge at this point...

    The Big Picture: Combat Evolved?

    If it's any comfort, he posted a video on GameOverthinker about how the FPS genre is destroying all that is good in the world.

    The Big Picture: Combat Evolved?

    Maybe I'm over analyzing this video, but I start to wonder if Bob isn't implying that if you like Halo then you are a Nazi. Maybe it's unintentional, but really guys?

    The Big Picture: Combat Evolved?

    That was surprisingly thoughtful. I think Bob is stretching his analysis when Halo is pretty much the same Spartans vs. Persians things we've been seeing from Bungie since Marathon, but this video wasn't what I was expecting. What I was expecting from Mr. Chipman was "SHOOTER FANS ARE FRAT BOY...

    Escape to the Movies: Special: The Day After

    I was also expecting a reference to the old TV movie "The Day After". Hell, it's an end of the world movie. If you're looking for more nuclear happy fun times, the BBC put out at least 2 movies on the subject. Go look up "Threads" (1984) and "The War Game" (1965) if you like your apocalypse...

    breaking xbox 360s

    The funny thing was, mine lasted for about a year of steady use. I was so impressed I started a blog about how my XBox 360 hadn't died (http://360trooper.blogspot.com/). Then it died about a month in. I have a friend who's functioning 360 is even older irregularly updating, but that was just...

    Poll: Bullying: Thoughts?

    My bullying experience started in elementary school. The general consensus of everyone other than me was that it was funny. I took on a sort of "class clown" attitude to try and roll with it. It didn't help. In high school I had a new set of bullies to deal with. I let it slip that I was...

    Zero Punctuation: Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.

    For all my fanboy love for Ace Combat, I'll admit that's the best description I've ever read of it.

    Zero Punctuation: Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.

    Good review, but as Yahtzee said he doesn't play these types of games so there's nothing for him to compare it to. So if any of you have played both Ace Combat 6 and HAWX, and taking into account I already own Ace Combat, is HAWX worth my time? Is Ace Combat better? Is HAWX better? Or do...

    I'm tired of my 360

    I beg to differ. Based on the game library I still prefer my PS2 over my XBox. For the same reasons I prefer the XBox 360 over the PS3.

    Poll: Legacy of Kain:Blood Omen

    I thought the action and story was pretty well done. My only complaint were the load times. Oh good God, the load times. It could take up to a minute to switch weapons since it felt like it took about 30 seconds to bring up the menu, then another 30 to get back to the action. One...

    Kojima: "Maybe I Should Quit Being Japanese"

    I don't know why, but reading this story somehow makes me feel vindicated. And it's not a Left 4 Dead thing, I haven't played that.

    Atheism

    The problem goes both ways, atheists complain about religious folk hurling scripture at them and religious folk complain about atheists hurling Richard Dawkins at them (I suspect a Bible hurts more than The God Delusion if it hits you square in the temple). It's just that religious folk have...
