    A question for PC Gamers. Why all the hostility towards console gamers/gaming?

    Remember, PC gamers have to put up with a lot of crap. For one, PC gamers are blamed for the majority of piracy (even though some data suggests that it's far more prevalent for consoles). So when developers use piracy as an excuse for X, they flat out blame PC gamers, ie when it was said...

    So, I'm going to start Dragon Age 2 for the first time...

    Really, play what you enjoy. Combat in DA2...well, on the surface it's somewhat better designed than DAO. The fact that it's not better than DAO really is a testament to how much BioWare half-arsed the game. Normal is probably the difficulty you want to play at. The difficulty above it is...

    Humans as the Alien Invaders

    Well, there's Starship Troopers... If I recall correctly, there was one story involving an enormous galactic war...and one species decided to go to what is essentially considered the "Do not go here, it's Hell" zone of the galaxy to find a fantastic race to ally with. Turns out it was...

    Square Enix Frustration

    Square Enix really does seem to be one of the least evil publishers around. They're not afraid to try new things and even when they 'milk' a franchise--to an extent that isn't even comparable to EA, Ubisoft, Activision, or Capcom--they actually give the developers at least some time to do it...

    Zero Punctuation: Saints Row 4

    I actually really enjoyed SR4. However, one thing I didn't care for in the Yahtzee review. You know that boss fight he was gushing all over? He failed to mention that the song playing leading up to it was Stan Bush's The Touch (from 1986 Transformers fame). And it is completely and...

    Ant-Man's New Release Date Spells Trouble

    If it makes you feel any better, I'm still waiting for a Marvel movie that focuses on a superheroine. The last movie that did that was, I think, Elektra, and before people point out how terrible the movie was being a reason no one's done it since, may I remind you about Daredevil and 2005 Hulk...

    Creepiest bosses in non-horror video games

    Shadow Hearts series has a ton of horrifying bosses. Including one that's a ball of giant dead babies. Heck, some of the random encounters are as creepy as they come.

    What's the most boring book you've ever read?

    A Moveable Feast by Hemmingway. Although maybe Xenocide by Orson Scott Card (of Ender's Game) might be worse. At least Hemmingway's book was short. Xenocide was 500 pages of stuff you already knew.
