    Jimquisition: Gamer Guys

    I want games to be able to be part of someone's identity, certainly; I don't want gamer to become anyone who has played Angry Birds and Bejeweled. But I think movies went through a similar thing. They were at first mostly appreciated by certain people and have become one of the most popular...

    The Big Picture: The New Originals

    Thank you for this episode, it's something that's been bothering me for a while now; no new exciting IPs being released first as movies. They're all loosely based on something, like current books or video games and the reboot and re-imagining that so many pieces of media are getting is making me...

    Jimquisition: Gamer Guys

    Thank you, that actually sort of helps. I still feel lost though; what do gamer girls want? The best example I got off this discussion was how I constantly feel uncomfortable around metalheads for maybe not coming across as intense enough. Most of my friends aren't, I've only got one good...

    You're not the only one, totally blew over my head...

    Jimquisition: Gamer Guys

    I'm at a bit of a loss here. See, I liked your Idealization of Men episode, because it correctly communicated the one itch I couldn't get off of me about the non-stop comments about games objectifying women. I couldn't communicate it though, because I couldn't understand what I wanted to...

    Zero Punctuation: Fuse

    Was I really the only person along with my brother that really enjoyed that game? It's no hallmark of excellence, but it was fun and different! OT: Yeah... run of the mill cover based shooter. Again. It's really disappointing how a genre that began fresh and exciting this generation is...

    Microsoft Executive Replies To Xbox One Negativity

    I'm afraid that this'll turn into another boycott Activision fiasco. That being said, it just seems like Microsoft are going down the PS3's path the shitty way: PS3 was super expensive, but it had its advantages, primarily full backwards compatibility (PS1 and PS2 that is), HDMI support...

    Jimquisition: Guns Blazing

    I don't have a source to fully back this up, but if they could've, I believe Dark Souls would've just been Demon's Souls II, in all honesty. Miyazaki and the new directors of Dark Souls II have stated that the games (all three) have really nothing to do with the other in terms of story, and it's...

    Amazing Females in Hard Rock / Metal

    I am disappointed nobody mentioned Unleash the Archers (did a quick Ctrl + F, sorry if I missed it). Maybe it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I love em.

    Real Life "Oh Shit" Moments.

    I was the passenger, riding shotgun, in a 2002 (I think?) Chevrolet Explorer. Now, the model had apparently been discontinued and revised because it was so tall it toppled over like a drunkard, but me and my family didn't know. I was 13 ish at the time, and had constant fights with my brother...

    Host Haste

    Personally, I feel like there's more to blame here than her as an author. Every author makes mistakes, but they're usually caught in editing, which is usually provided by the publisher. If indeed she got published through nepotism, that might explain the lack of quality in the text in terms of...

    Jimquisition: Hate Out Of Ten

    I think Jim has an excellent point! I recently read a "Guide to VG Scores" on some site, and they said 8's were not worth your time or cash unless you were part of the niche market or a fanboy. The 60 $ that a game is worth should make you choose which games you buy carefully, certainly (more in...

    Poll: Your Father's Vote

    I voted unsure... Mexico's political situation is rather tricky. I no longer know who to vote for. In Spain, I will vote for the PSOE, which is the same my father will vote for.

    Poll: Favorite hair color?

    Black/Brunette is usually my preference. Redheads can be gorgeous too!

    Would naming my kid "Vault" be a detriment to him in life? Or a bonus giving him instant geek-cred?

    Duuuude, that's an f-in awesome name! He's not going to get picked on by smart people at least! Quite frankly, I don't think name matters much (with it's exceptions... Shithede is clearly an insult to your daughter/son as Shithead....) because you're going to face all kinds of shit in your life...
