    Zero Punctuation: The Last of Us

    If there's anything I like the most, it's watching the people who screamed that this was the Citizen Kane of gaming but also somehow were Yahtzee fans getting incredibly mad and defensive. The Last of Us will be forgotten as quickly as Bioshock Infinite, which also received 'Citizen Kane of...

    Digital Ownership: Why we lost today

    I like physical games. I like booklets, I like having a shelf full of them, I like collector's editions. I like cover art, I like being able to play games 20 years after the console has lost all support, and I like the obi that comes with imports of Saturn games. I like monolithic box sets with...

    Link's Awakening does not take place in the exact same place ALTTP does. This game is in that same location.

    People are being WAY too critical of The Elder Scrolls Online!

    I'm in the apathy camp, myself. I haven't really followed it much either. I'm not particularly angry about it, I've just got a non-committal "oh, another failed MMO for the money pit" attitude and ignore the furor.

    People are being WAY too critical of The Elder Scrolls Online!

    This. On top of that, since the Elder Scrolls games are gigantic worlds stretched thin over a large playable area with the depth of a puddle, I'm hardly excited to play an MMO where the content is stretched even thinner than before, but with WoW clone MMO structure. Not only that, the actual...

    The term "Gamer".

    Of course there are professional game players, pro Starcraft 2 is like American football in the States in its level of exposure in South Korea. All the top players turn into celebrities.

    How would you improve Dark Souls?

    Just from reading item descriptions and talking to NPCs you can infer these things: The Four Knights of Gwyn are his most loyal and powerful knights. Ornstein and Smough are two of them. Ornstein was a dragon hunter (as is stated when you make his Dragonslayer spear), and Smough was ejected...

    The Metacritic Users bomb Call of Duty again

    I find myself just ignoring everything console shooter related these days. Halo 4, Call of Duty, whatever. I'm sick of the controversy and the community, and although I certainly don't think the games are 'bad' they're just not mechanically interesting to me anymore. As for 'reviews' I never...

    Multiplayer Rules of Engagement

    Yeah this, it can be fun and polite and everything (I was completely into the whole 'bow politely and duel thing' when I played and platinumed Demon's Souls) but it's not required. In Dark Souls I went full asshole because it felt so fulfilling.

    Multiplayer Rules of Engagement

    I was a low-level Dickwraith for a while. I have around 88 humanity collected on my level 13 +5 Lightning Uchigatana darkwraith, in a special maxed out armor set for the highest amount of weight I could wear to fastroll. Each of those humanities was gathered from killing some poor guy I invaded...

    Poll: Blind or not, what kind of Let's Plays are better?

    An enormous majority of the people who do blind let's plays are completely fucking awful at whatever game they're playing, and no one likes watching someone get stuck for 30 minutes on an incredibly easy to solve puzzle from your perspective. Also you actually need to be funny/interesting...

    How many hours have you devoted to Skyrim?

    Around 9. Once I realized how devoid of interesting things to do the game was, and that every single sidequest/dungeon was basically 'kill all the draugr', I gave up. Well, I never really liked Elder Scrolls but yeah. (Also when the fuck are they going to hire competent animators? It's...
