    Pokémon League Falls To Deadly Magikarp

    I'm fairly certain he wasted a few turns using X-Specials. In Generation 3 they only boost Special Attack, and all of Magikarp's moves are physical and therefore only boosted by X-Attack. They have no effect on Special Defense.

    Controversial God of War: Ascension Trophy To Be Renamed

    An achievement in a video game quotes a phrase that some guys use to denote that they'll place their male friends above female romantic interests?! Sure, I can see how certain people could see it as tasteless, but I feel like people should probably aim higher when it comes to targets for...

    If Anime Cliches Happened In The Real World

    I expected that you'd make this thread... LITTLE BROTHER.

    Dark Souls: an experiment in logic

    1. It's a major part of the appeal of the game. Other games have hard modes that are frankly more time-consuming and difficult than Dark Souls is as a whole, but no one ever really brags about beating them. The fact that Dark Souls is synonymous with "difficult game" to people is what makes part...

    Poll: Daniel Tosh threatens Woman with Gang Rape

    It's not the best response to a heckler, but it's part of his act. A bad rape joke is still just that, a rape JOKE. If you think jokes about race, sex, sexual orientation, or anything else that represents a demographic are ok, but are only up in arms over this, you are being very selective in...

    Wow-The legend of Korra Finale

    I'll just copy-paste my review of it.

    PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale for PS3 LET THE FLAME WARS BEGIN

    I feel like it'll be a bigger hit with a younger audience. A lot of us are "meh" at the idea of Drake, Ratchet, Sackboy, and whoever else, but I'm sure those characters have defined the childhood of tons of gamers, much like Link, Mario, and Samus did for us when the original Smash Bros...

    Norwegian Mass Murderer Defends Gaming Habits

    Yeah, he's awful, murder is terrible, but I just can't stop connecting him and Anders from Dragon Age 2. Radical extremist views from an otherwise rational mind causing something catastrophically unforgivable.

    So, why do you like anime?

    I like some of it. I used to think all of it was "WOWSERS" when I was a kid, but since my time and money are limited now, I've become more critical of what I watch and what is worth watching. Same way with video games and anything else.

    What game would you make a sequel/reboot to?

    An official Alundra sequel on a handheld. I'd love to see the "entering dreams" angle examined a bit more. Maybe this time instead of having to enter dreams to combat a dark force, he has to enter dreams to get information or change people's moods towards him. Hell, the Dreamwalkers were a race...

    Pissed at my English teacher, justified?

    Eh, we're all going to be against the teacher here. I don't think she has any right to dock your grade for anything so subjective though. Personally if I'd gone that route, I'd have taken a bit to explain what exactly was artistic about Pokemon Red, just knowing that it's probably outside the...

    What do you look for in a villain?

    Hmmm. I like a villain that doesn't underestimate the heroes at every turn. One that doesn't leave it to the henchmen to finish them off. One that gets down and dirty and pursues his goal til the end. Alternatively, a sympathetic villain can be alright. A lot of good villains tug on the...

    About games who's protagonists you have no dialog control over...

    There's nothing wrong with a protagonist who has his own personality and stances. In these cases, you're watching a (hopefully good!) story unravel, you're just along for the ride (and gameplay). Dialogue choices can help a lot if you want your game to be super immersive for the player as a...

    Have you ever gotten angry at a review?

    Anytime someone posts a lengthy review that could potentially be a good read and interesting critique, but is missing one very important component. Paragraphs.

    My First Kiss... And It's With Another Guy.

    Huh. I'm envious, that sounds lovely. This will sound horribly cheesy, but: "Listen to your heart~". It might not be the easiest route, but I've learned that you'll never really be happy by denying a part of yourself because other people (even those important to you) might not be wholly...
