    Games you love with horrible protagonists

    Spec ops: The line. I know that was kind of the point of the game, but its still true. And at least the way I ended up playing the game, Papers Please.

    Shipment Of Splatoon Bound For GAME Stores In UK Stolen

    I pre-ordered it from Game, but they were really good about it. They sent an email explaining the situation, gave a number to call. I honestly don't care about the amiibo, I have one of Link, and I may get one more if the amiibo is a good one. It sounds dumb, but I wanted the free hat that they...

    Poll: There are only 2 genders....right?

    2 biological sexes in humans. There are other species with more. But as everybody in the comments is saying, layered on top of that is gender identity, which is a can of worms i try not to open, just "okay, you don't like being called he/she, i'll call you something else" Or as I once...

    Five Nights at Freddy's Web Series Trailer

    If they changed the animatronics to not be the FNaF ones, and gave it a different name, I'd think it looks like a cool series. But the groups of people, mobility and weapons (to me at least), make it not a FNaF series, just a series that uses the animatronics

    What's the most boring game you've aver played?

    I think this may be controversial, but Cthulhu saves the world. It was just dull and repetitive. Also Penumbra overture, same reasons. Not sure if it counts, but the demo for amnesia the dark descent bored the hell out of me. Nothing really happening, and repetitive

    The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time Master Quest

    I finished it. On Ocarina of time 3ds, it was available. Although I first played it from my copy of the Wind Waker (UK version). Much to my shame, on regular OOT, I couldn't beat the Deku tree, but I did manage on MQ.

    Ever stop watching something because it became too something?

    So many. I stopped watching Hannibal because it became too aware of its fans I stopped watching One Piece because it became too filler-y I stopped watching MLP:FIM because it became too boring I stopped watching Sherlock because it wasn't worth waiting 2 years for it again Other...

    What does it take to ruin a game for you?

    I'll slug through most games I own, even ones I despise, just to get to the credits. 3 exceptions. Dishonored, which I ditched because the controls were outright broken (it wouldn't let me use my right hand after the intro sequence) and Dark Souls 2 & Majora's Mask (which I ditched because it...

    Any published authors here?

    I've got a couple of books published. Amazon Kindle are really good for that sort of thing. But they are better for just getting your work out there than trying to earn money from your writing. Not sure if that counts as self publishing or not, but I've generally had a good experience with it

    How many of us also play games that aren't based around killing and beating stuff up?

    Two of my favourite games of all time are The Stanley Parable and Thomas was alone. Both games which have 0 violence in them.

    Your idea of game journalism

    I have a more 'back to basics' approach to what I want games journalism to be. Before a game comes out, I want name of game, genre, maybe a few screenshots, release date, and comparison points for the game. Post release/embargo, basic reviews. Let the games speak for themselves. I don't...

    Sweden Considering Sexism Labels For Video Games

    I think this is a good idea. If you are like me and don't really care (most of the time) about representation, then its as easy to ignore as the warning "Contains comic violence", but if this is something that really matters to you, then you have a warning about it. It gives people the chance...

    Dr Who: Caretaker

    It varied from very good to very bad. At its best, it was a great episode about aliens in the school and Clara being scared for the children. The other half of the episode was like watching a bad rom com. Overall, meh

    Dr Who :Listen

    I know this is a minority opinion, but I absolutely loathed the episode. Even the episodes where I see faults, I still enjoy watching the episode, often multiple times, or at least find something to like. But this one I hated. I'm sick of the writers trying to make Clara 'Oh-so-important' all...

    How to argue "Games aren't art."

    Forced art and a copy of art lack expression. Expression is the key word of the definition art I found. Expressionless or forced paintings/sculpture/games/music simply wouldn't fit the definition. The entire question of 'are video games art' comes down to the definition of art. the one I...
