    LulzSec Leader Outed As FBI Rat

    You're telling me the leader of LulzSec wasn't a badass hacker righteously standing up to the Man, but a slightly nerdy dad who crumbled at the first whiff of jail time? What a shock. There's a reason Anonymous is, well, anonymous. They'd all rat each other out in a heartbeat if they got...

    Escape to the Movies: The Artist

    Agreed. Seems like whenever Oscar season comes around he puts on his "ironic hipster hat" and decides to hate or play down anything that looks like it's going to get a bunch of Oscars. I just saw this film, and I really don't get this review. Yeah it's not exactly Inception when it comes...

    Zero Punctuation: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

    Honestly, I actually agree with this review, though I'll never get the people who say all zelda games are the same(same formula, sure, but there's usually a good enough twist to gameplay to change it up imo). The game feels remarkably linear and small for a Zelda game, the controls are...

    What do you think when you hear the word "transexual?"

    I cringe. I absolutely HATE the word transsexual because it conjures up a crapload of transphobic images, and makes it sound like it's some sort of fetish. Transgender is broader, yes, but I feel much more comfortable with it. (for context, I'm pre-everything MtF) Out of curiosity, if...

    I recently replayed Myst after like 14 years, so yeah... Myst. I know a lot of people don't really get it, but I really love it. So much atmosphere.

    Sith Lord Attacks Customers in Toys "R" Us

    ..... of course he's from Oregon. I swear the only time we make the news is when some nutjob does something that makes us all look like wackos.

    How do you think your parents would react if they went through your internet browsing history?

    Assuming I didn't delete it? They'd be shocked on more than one level. There's the obvious porn thing, but then they'd probably also be confused as to why I've been on reddit/r/asktransgender every day for the past three months... yay for closets.

    EA, BioWare Have No Clue When The Old Republic Will Launch

    Honestly, hitting release 3 or 4 years after being announced isn't that long for an MMO. That's about the timeframe WoW had from being announced to launch day, IIRC. MMOs take a ridiculous amount of resources to produce, and an equally ridiculous amount of time to get to a releasable state...

    The Old Republic Will Be the Last Subscription MMO

    I hate Smedley, and I feel sick saying it, but.... The man is right. The era of the subscription-based MMO is winding down. "the last subscription MMO" is obviously hyperbole, but I agree with the sentiment behind it.

    What was the first game you remember playing?

    My first game was either A Link to the Past or Jazz Jackrabbit. Or maybe it was Day of the Tentacle? The three kind of blur together for me, but I remember constantly bugging my mom to boot up DOS so I could play Jazz. I also remember sneaking the controller away from my mom when I...

    The Big Picture: Continanity: Rebooted

    lol, same here. I kept trying to figure out why he was slipping into a Boston accent, and wondering if I'd just never noticed it before. Got used to it though by the 3 minute mark. Good episode, though. I'm always interested in the comic episodes, since I don't really know much about them.

    Are you actually good at gaming?

    I'm decent enough, but it depends on what we're talking about. As far as old SNES games go, yeah, I'm really good; but then I've been playing those since I was 5 years old. =P When it comes to competitive multiplayer or PvP in MMOs goes, I suck. Hard. On the other hand, I fancy...

    LucasFilms Confirms adding "NOOOOOO!" to Return of the Jedi

    rofl, this is just incredibly stupid. I'm not a huge Star Wars fan, and even I'm kinda pissed off. And could they have made Vader sound more apathetic with that first 'no'? It sounds like someone trying to figure out what to do for dinner: "How about meatloaf?" "No..." "Fine, let's...

    Instictively trying to use a technique in the wrong game.

    I decided to play around in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood a couple days ago, for the first time in about six months, and I couldn't figure out why I was REALLY sucking at fighting the guards. I kept trying to dodge their attacks by moving backwards and pressing A, and just kept getting my ass...

    Critical Miss: The GameChurch

    Wow, I have to hand it to them, they actually made Christianity palatable. Good on them. This is what I've never understood about Christianity. To pull out Ghandi's quote, "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." It just seems...
