    The Big Picture: Is Django Racist?

    I literally just woke up and this is likely the most offensive and blatantly incorrect thing I'll read all day.

    Gay Olympics....Wtf!!

    Wasn't there JUST a Critical Miss about this very subject? EDIT: That is to say, the reaction to specific groups wanting to host their own friendly gatherings/competitions, and the somewhat uncouth reactions to them as such.

    Bastion 2 Not Happening Any Time Soon

    If it did have a sequel, I feel like they'd need to change genres entirely. I would totally be down for spending more time in that world, but for true success I think they'd have to do what Yahtzee's emphasized in the past---forget everything about the previous game and try something new...

    Ocean Marketing vs. Penny Arcade

    Looks like he has a track record for this...more delicious quotes to fuel the twitterstorm. http://www.natesnetwork.com/Poor-customer-service

    Ocean Marketing vs. Penny Arcade

    This is the best thing to happen to the internet this week. That's really all I can add at this point.

    Who are the good guys in Skyrim?

    I made my decision when I met the Jarl Elisif of Solitude, whose husband was killed by Ulfric. I'd already met Ulfric and General Tullius, and I'd already concluded both were different kinds of assholes, but she was the one who finally swayed my decision. I realized if joining the stormcloaks...

    Poll: Question: Context, Challenge, or Gratification?

    First off, you should read Yahtzee's post about the subject matter before we go on: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/extra-punctuation/9276-Context-Challenge-and-Gratification After reading Yahtzee's analysis of criteria to review games, I got thinking about how despite...

    Let's All Watch The Batman Trailer

    I'm actually down with Catwoman's "leave so little for the rest of us," because it adds a complicated dynamic to the scene. On the surface level: 99% Selina Kyle (For lack of a better phrase) versus 1% Bruce Wayne. On the next level: Bruce Wayne is Batman, and has been fighting to save the city...

    Yelling Out Sarcastic Jokes In A Movie Theater

    There are two movies this is acceptable for: The Room, and Rocky Horror Picture show. In fact, PLEASE do it for The Room, because I laughed until I was in tears. If you do it for any other movie, I will end you.

    Things People Say That Piss You Off

    "It's hard to make it in this business." -I work in the entertainment business, specifically video/film, and I tend to react very badly when people tell me this. Mostly because it's led to too many of my friends giving up and stopping trying, and now they're terribly unhappy with their lives...

    The Common Mistakes of Horror Games

    I think I have to disagree a bit with the music sentiment...sort of. One of my favorite moments in gaming (I like to call them "Fuck Yeah" moments) was when I was playing the Earth levels in Halo 3, and was about to fight the first Scarab. For a quick refresher, you enter a door, and, to your...

    What happened to the A/V sync? From about halfway in to the end, there's a constant lag...

    Poll: Should I sue?

    Your best bet is to try and sue for Strict Liability---talk to a lawyer about the 402-A restatement of torts, which basically only requires that the company put a defective product on the market that caused you bodily harm. It's going to be a long, drawn out case, so I hope you and your lawyer...
