And you know what? Feminism is a logical step. There. I said it. Women are treated unequally in the States and it's a problem, and I don't need statistics to prove what is true. But the way you do it, by advocating female individualism, is wrong. The notion of the female individual is derived...

The thing is, during programming, people tend to lose most mental functions as the works goes by. So what most likely happened was that this specific person just thought, "God I have no idea what to label this specific ability," and--as it's rather crucial to organize things properly in work...

An emotional side of me said, "Yeah, this is pretty stupid," but another, rational side of me said, "No, that's business." This is how business works: fierce, brutal competition. If the industry took the method Activision's spokesperson said, we wouldn't have the major technological...

Actually the Refusal of the Call is not necessary, though we do observe, in some myths, that the hero does avoid the adventure albeit with disastrous consequences. It still wasn't a bad reference to Campbell's theory considering the story of Link is as archetypal as it gets to the extent that...

Considering that multiplayer experiences are in proportion, with respect to quality, to technology, we can't really comment on it or its storytelling capabilities until we have the best devices to present multiplayer games (like splitscreen glasses, which is a greater indicator of the future to...

It's really that good? Really? My friend and I keep on arguing about seeing a superhero movie, and his fallback answer is, "They're [the producers] going to mess up the reputations of the characters." I suggested we'd watch Green Lantern. Thus he has won the debate, for the time being. Hopefully...

This video came off more as a rant than a serious meditation on the gaming industry; certainly so, because it was just Sterling picking on a company's practices without making bare concessions on his aggression, or his solution on the same note. If at any point he said, "Square Enix probably...

OK see this is what sets me off. There's nothing wrong with limiting freedom. People do stupid things when they're allowed to. Nothing wrong with telling your child that he can't paint the cat blue. For what reason? Because he's just not allowed to do it. There doesn't have to be a rationale...

The bit with the hammers made my heart leap out of my chest, I will tell you that. Every second I was going, "He's not going to make it, he's not going to make it, die die die" and he made it. I think, rather than investigating on whether this video is legitimate, we should all check if this...

I actually toyed around with the ending of Infamous 2 and it can only go several ways. Cole, if in the bad ending, must be knocked out by some stronger conduit (or multiple conduits, which would work best as a seperate faction). He should be transported to the city his body is going to in the...

I live in the city and there is all of this Grimer crud everywhere.

There is some damn brilliance in predeterming a player's karma BEFORE the game begins. First you wouldn't have to integrate some sort of karma system for the game; second you can just concentrate on really dicking around a sandbox instead; third you don't have to think of the karmic duality of...

HAH. Leave it to a NEW ZEALANDER to interpret fine works of art. Quite obviously the Castlevania series is a farce. Dracula is quite obviously the representation of the common man; we know this because fireballs are a reference to the fire on a candle's wick, candles being a commodity for New...

What the f- I don't honestly know what to feel about this. I can't join all the jubilation because...well...it seems to me that even the best game out there equates to a good sci-fi novel. And I hate genre fiction. So good for me is...untouchable. I mean if I ever have a son, I'd slap him...

I don't know much about the situation the case resides in or the technicalities of said situation, but I think I can explain why some people think this guy should go to jail with a bit of dialogue. "Does that mean the eco-terrorists win?" "Yes, Stanley; this means that the eco-terrorists...
