Well, Fox news is right on this one. I mean, look at the story of any mainstream game, like mass effect 2, which gamers gobble up like it was the urine of Jesus himself. In the literary world it would classify as pulp, and in the movie world it would classify as a B-movie. While I suppose an...

Sengoku rance: http://www.rpgcodex.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=37634 NSFW!!! Takes a while to really get going but is a goldmine of lulz

FO3 was even worse in the choice department... You essentially got to roleplay either the gullible cartoon saint, or the edgy psychotic teenager. Usually it would have no consequence either way anyways... I must also express my extreme disappointment at someone mentioning "fallout" while...

When I go to the witcher review [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/reviews/2672-Review-The-Witcher] and try to read the comments they don't load. Why is that?

Where would an action-RPG like diablo be on this chart?

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. Bethesdas largest flaw is undoubtedly in the writing department. I don't think they have a single competent writer, or at least they fired him after Morrowind was released. If you look at New Vegas the main difference is that Obsidian has one or maybe two...

Yes, yahtzee, soda makes you dehydrated. It is due to all the sugar content. That is all.

Ah, so these people are to blame? Ever since WoW the focus for blizzard has been 1. to rip of as many hollywood clichees in their trailers as possible and 2. focus on making things as overdone as possible, in true japanese style, and with no regard for versimillitude. An example of 1. would...

Practically all escapist members posting ITT rolled a critical fail on their intelligence rolls. Really, some 90% of the posts fail to grasp what this is about. The comments that manage to tie this to piracy somehow are the most hilarious; it is as if the thinking goes: "hey, this is about...

I am a thrall in the blood war over at civfanatics.com civilization forums, and I have never seen any of them make a statement as hateful as this: Neither have I seen particularly many who goes all ad hominem on their opponent, as you accuse them of. Given the average daily visitors to the...

This article filled me with nerd rage, but then, you recently defended that so be prepared to have it unleashed... Civ 5 might have some evolutionary leaps forward. But for every leap forward, they have taken three back, and the remaining is a dumbed down RTS-clone. See, strategy games...

A better title for this piece would be: 7 THINGS I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT In order to call something a "myth debunk" you should have pretty incontrovertible evidence on your side. The author claims several things that are based upon loose definitions, such as the "games as art"-problem, are...

Do they ever write anything critical in previews? It's just that every preview I've ever read on this site reads like a godforsaken advertisement. Now I realize that is how it has to be in order to be invited to play them but come on now this is getting ridiculous.

I am glad you realize that geometric presentations of politics are only simplified approximations. The problem was that your original post, which stated that the political spectrum was "in fact" a square, didn't really give this impression. If this was not the intention, great. Please don't it...

A larger problem is people who sincerely believe they can reduce complex situations to simple geometric figures. Seriously dude, your statement pretty much embodies the Dunning-Kruger effect.
