    Microsoft Confirms Closure of Lionhead Studios

    Molyneux hasn't been a part of Lionhead for four years. Four years! If the company had replaced him with a pet hamster it would have died of old age by now. If he was holding the company back they've had plenty of time to recuperate, but instead they spent the time remastering an Fable: The lost...

    The First Ghostbusters Trailer Ain't Afraid of No Ghost

    Idunno, I've seen worse trailers. I am a bit confused, though. I was under the impression that this was a reboot, but it does seems like the trailer implies that the events of Ghostbusters 1 and 2 still happened? I would prefer that to a reboot, sure, but then a lot of it seems very reboot-y...

    Sequels and the Death of Novelty

    Bethesda, specifically, are a bit wierd in regards to the Fallout franchise and the sequel problem. They've shown that they don't have any trouble coming up with new ideas within the bounds of canon but then they sort of hide that behind layers of the type of sad retreading this article was...

    Carrie Fisher Says Discontinuing "Slave Leia" Merchandise is "Stupid"

    To be frank I don't think it's very fair to blame this on "those meddling feminists" as much as a protective parent and Disney's business model. Disney, I think you'll agree, care a lot about their image as a wholesome and family-friendly company. That's their whole shtick. As such they care a...

    Zero Punctuation: Rise of the Tomb Raider

    Wow. It's been a while since I checked out these comment sections, but the tone here is a lot more venomous than I remember them being. As for new Lara she's essentially a gender-reversed Generic White Male Protagonist, and I can't help but feel that a lot of people who are complaining that...

    Disney Wants to Release a New Star Wars Every Year Indefinitely

    This might be me talking out of my arse here, but to be entirely honest I really don't think Star Wars benefits that much from having a huge budget. Even adjusted for inflation The Phantom Menace had a budget four times higher than the original Star Wars movie. If you look at the earlier films...

    I need some break up advice

    It sounds like you've made up your mind but don't want to be cruel to her. Which is a typical decent aspiration to have. So be decent, and talk to her about it. Because look at it this way: letting her live under false pretenses in a relationship where you've lost interest is cruel, and it just...

    When you want to write but your well is tapped

    One of my favorite quotes of all time is from Pablo Picasso, and it goes: "Inspiration exist, but it has to find you working". So basically do what was suggested earlier and just write about whatever. Describe your first relationship as if you're writing a short story intended for a third...

    Does Distance Always Ruin Things?

    Having a distance relationship doesn't need to ruin anything, especially in this day in age. It's entirely possible to talk every day and meet up at least a couple of days every couple of weeks, no matter where you are. In my experience keeping the flame going, so to speak, isn't much of a...

    Jimquisition: The Sh*tiest Games of 2012

    Hehe. The first minute of this video was pretty much spot on. Happiest time of the year, my arse. Thanks, Jim, for getting me to laugh a bit about it. :)

    Worst thing your current Boy/Girl Friend has done to you.

    Recent ex: "Worst thing she did" wouldn't really be the best way of putting it. I suffer from a pretty severe chronic depression, but at the time I hadn't gotten the diagnose. I have a tendency to "shut down" more and more the worse I feel, and if there's ever an angle where I can take the...

    Fallout 4 theories

    Yeah, obviously not everyone is going to agree with me, that's why I just call it a general rule rather than absolute fact. :) I can't really say that I agree, though. A lot can be said about the writing in Fallout 3, but "coherent" isn't at all the word I'd use, it's a lot more patchwork...

    Fire and Water Rain Down in Orcs Must Die 2

    With OMD 1 I was banging on the doors for the dlc when they released it... Now... nah, I'll wait for a sale. I haven't even finished OMD2 yet, the "intended for 2" level designs are just to clunky for my tastes.

    Fallout 4 theories

    I'm kinda hoping they're setting it in California again. I want to see how NCR is doing on their own turf. Or maybe somewhere foreign, just to spice it up or a bit. Oh, oh, and I want to be a tribal again! I do hope we've seen the last of the Enclave though. Or at least that they bother to...

    Can you recommend a new game for me?

    If you want to play Orcs Must Die but won't play it co-op I suggest buying the first game, not the second. The second game is very much a co-op experience to the degree that all the levels are built for two. The first game is visually and gameplaywise the same, but much cheaper and made to be...
