    Jimquisition: Innovation - Gaming's Snake Oil

    while I agree with everything said here in theory, I think it needs to be said that just because a game is maid for innovations sake, that does not mean it will automatically be bad. this is a trap that many speakers fall into. games that were made for the sake of innovation in the past have...

    Capcom Japan Unveils Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 Intro Cinematic

    this is just dumb. I mean woo, cool slow motion effect and everything, but now we know it really is JUST a character expansion. Just look at galactus back there, basically telling the world "hey, they copy pasted me from the previous game, don't expect anything new here"

    The Big Picture: Night of the Lepus

    hehehe and the cinema snob takes the cake for reviewing this bad boy a while ago, but all the insight on how they marketed and produced this thing is great fun :)

    Feed Dump: Marathon Train Poop

    strangely enough, the car mounted breathalyser has been around before in America. I should know, my family has a history of drinking and crashing.

    Escapist Podcast: 017: Steve Jobs, Scrolls vs Scrolls & X-Men Destiny

    yeah, I honestly found what you said about notch rather insulting. to express his own opinion, and throw out ideas to resolve a situation (whether they be practical or not) is at least good to show transparency and creative thought. you really try to make it seem like Notch is being evil, like...

    Jimquisition: A Different Kind of Difficulty

    I get your point, but I completely disagree with it. you can make your own difficulty out of any game. sure, megaman may be a stroll down easy street on your third playthough because you already know the proper routs and tactics, but hey, if you want real difficulty, go through the entire game...

    Extra Credits Addendum: Discussing the Role of the Player

    I loved amnesia, and I actually thought of the game when thinking of the ideas put forward by James, which makes me all the more interested by this conversation. In talking with a friend who played the game shortly after I had finished it, I learned that he encountered a monster much earlier...

    Drinking Games: Mariokart DUI

    all I can say is, the warp zone on youtube did already did this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6V3CbIsIJ3M&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

    Human Centipede II Refused U.K. Classification

    I actually have no problems with the government refusing a rating to this. you wouldn't expect the latest snuff film/porno advertising 3 cumshots and 2 decapitated corpses to get a theatrical release. this crosses the line to make it obscene, so if they don't want theaters showing it, that is...

    Capcom Says Resident Evil 6 Will Be "Different"

    the is just plain laying down and being lazy designers and you Mr. funk are supporting their laziness. "fun to play and a competent shooter, or should it be scary." this is a BS copout statement in the worst way. saying that there is no way, in an industry where the entire reality of a...

    Portal 2 Review

    wow fail. half of the clips you used to show act 1 were from act 3, and the funnel only appeared in act 3. Did you even play the game!? seriously, that is just fail! and yeah, don't want to give spoilers except for the MASSIVE SPOINLERS, you know, like the screens that who the "AI...

    portal 2 turret promo screen

    as part of the ARG for portal 2, there is a mysterious screen held within the third promo video, advertising turrets. in that screen there are three sets of numbers. 72 101 114 101 39 115 32 68 97 32 66 101 101 110 115 44 32 68 111 117 103 116 97 116 111 58 89 111 117 32 102 111 117 110...

    Dragon Age II Review

    or maybe there are other reasons, because blaming 4chan for influencing the game score a full 5 points out of 10 is absurd. not impossible, but extremely unlikely. I myself at least would give the game a 3/10 easily. the PC version has some of the most poorly designed controls out there...
