    Batman: Arkham Knight Season Pass Contains Six Months of Content

    Preordering and seasons passes are a suckers game I will not partake of. I'm only interested in the main game and story missions and none of the other stuff. Those story missions better not feel like they were stripped out of the main game.

    Your views on Demon Maiden Astraea

    I don't agree with this at all. It wasn't the Old One that caused that place to be wretched, it was wretched before that. King Allant was the one that woke the Old One and caused the colourless fog to cross the land. Boleteria was what caused the place to be as awful as it was and the colourless...

    What's your most overpriced purchase?

    In 1996 I bought Mechwarrior II Mercenaries for $90 from a small computer store. According to an inflation calculator that's $128. I won't even buy games $60 now so $128 is right out.

    Gamepad, Joystick, Motion Gun? Grifta Is One Controller To Rule Them All

    I like the idea of a the controller in your left hand and your right on the mouse, but in the games I play, there tend to be a lot of buttons I press with my left hand and that setup doesn't allow for it. For example Salt, which has your typical first person shooter setup, I change weapons with...

    Console exclusives that would have been great on PC

    I would love to play the Persona games on PC. The few consoles I've had access to have always been the wrong ones. Forza Horizon 2 would be nice and RDR. The only other game I could think of is Valkyria Chronicles and that got brought over which makes me happy.

    Poll: Five Nights at Freddy's - Do you actually find it scary?

    This game has jump scares yes, but they are different than many other games jump scares. Random crappy games will turn out the lights and throw something in your face that's loud and sudden and rely on that for scare factor.There isn't much craft involved. It's much like those pictures that...

    *Good* Modern Single Player Shooters (PC Preferred).

    Left 4 Dead 2 is a lot of fun but it only as a multiplayer co-op game since playing the game single player is insufferable with the Ai. I generally dislike multiplayer games and I ended up putting 200 hours into it. It's quite cheap in the multiple holiday sales going on right now too, and...

    Steam Holiday Auction at a Halt After Suspected Exploits - Update

    All these events and whatnot seem pointless when you have the money to buy whatever games you want. I barely have the motivation to sell the cards I get let alone get gems and then bids on games; many of which are worth less than $20 and have gem bidding prices of tens of thousands.

    Sunset Overdrive

    I was excited for that game, but now after seeing more of it, I think I'll be passing it up. I don't think they need the burn cream, they need something for that butthurt.

    How much of your life involves games?

    I only play games about three to four hours a week which is about all I've ever spent even when I had more free time. Gaming videos and let's plays I spend a couple of more hours a week watching.

    Amazing discoveries in games of yesteryear!

    For Psychonauts, finding the Campster (friendster clone) site on the Double Fine website. Fills in some gaps and casts many of the characters in a different light.

    Any older games you regularly return to?

    Broken Sword, Grim Fandango, Full Throttle, and Monkey Island 1,2,and 3 I usually return to at least once every couple of years. Diablo 2 and Mechwarrior 2 and Mercenaries I also replay occasionally.

    Valkyria Chronicles coming to PC?

    I never pre-order but that games makes me want to since the price isn't nearly as high as I thought it be. I am extremely weary of ports however.

    Sailor Moon Review: New English Dub Is a Beautiful Transformation

    It looks okay but unfortunately I'm a sub purist.

    Attack on Titan: Good or overrated crap?

    I've burned out on action anime. Many of them are fine but AoT shares far too much in common with Naruto, Bleach, Dragon Ball Z, among others, in the their pacing, scripting, and the way the fights scenes are drawn for me to get into. On top of that, it just seems like a run of the mill anime...
