    Devestating news for Pony fans

    It's definitely disheartening to see her go, especially since she was the big one fighting the HASBRO marketing team and attempting to make a good show rather than one big insulting marketing ploy. With any luck, her replacement will both listen to her and follow in her footsteps to try and keep...

    Concerning Ponies and the People Who Like Them, or, "I am Not Convinced"

    Actually I'm pretty cool with knowing your opinion. For three reasons: 1) I enjoy the show. 2) The opinions of total strangers aren't exactly defining forces in my life. 3) You're entitled to your own opinion, just like I'm entitled to mine. Sorry if I'm not coming across as too upset...

    Why are people so against 'feminism' in gaming?

    More or less. Mainly distrustful of people, but close enough. But the presence of "ism" still doesn't by default mean a word is "anti-" anything.

    Poll: Who pays on a date?

    Just talk about it in advance. Seriously. Just explain you're more than happy to pay (if you are), but would like to know what he/she thinks.

    New Mortal Kombat Title: Should I Get It On PS3 or 360?

    Depends on which one you're more used to. They can both work well, it just depends on how familiar you are with a particular controller and which you prefer.

    Wonder Woman Costume Revised for TV Pilot

    It's a welcome change, especially since she doesn't look like as much like a model for some latex fetish crowd, but honestly I'm still not sold. The rest of the outfit still looks pretty tacky (cheap material, etc), and I have yet to be sold on the actress. Especially since she doesn't appear to...

    Why are people so against 'feminism' in gaming?

    Because intellectualism is obviously anti-smart people, professionalism is anti-professionals, etc. "-ism" does not by default mean "anti-" Pretending that's the case is just lazy and a refusal to actually look into what the word actually means.

    New Mortal Kombat Title: Should I Get It On PS3 or 360?

    Ultimately it just comes down to whether or not you really care that Kratos is a special character in the PS3 version. Which I personally think is stupid, but eh. Beyond that, flip a coin.

    Why are people so against 'feminism' in gaming?

    Just adding to this: the games should be counted AT LEAST once (meaning: if it's a sequel with the same protagonist, you should understandably not count it each and every time, as it's not like they're going to change the character's sex midway through the story), because there were and still...

    Why are people so against 'feminism' in gaming?

    Because it torpedoes his argument is why. Kind of like how when he linked to 2011 releases, he decided we were only supposed to count the PC releases. Not to mention failed to notice that it wasn't counting games already released.

    Why are people so against 'feminism' in gaming?

    Area of interest? You do know that in the case of the armed forces, it's because women are usually flat out forbidden from serving in any front line combat roles, right? As in, excluded by default, "you're not allowed to even try out for this" kind of excluded? I'm not saying that's the case...

    Games that surprised you

    Braindead 13. I thought it would be a semi-amusing game from the 90s. To say that it has a steep learning curve (tutorial, what tutorial?) and a burning hatred for anyone who plays it would be an understatement. If you don't have perfect timing, quick reflexes, and some sort of sixth sense...

    dragon age 2 whats with all the hate?

    Honestly, just based on what I found in the downloadable demo, it was just kind of boring. Combat had the same two animations for the regular attacks, the gameplay felt uninspired and dull...really it seemed like more of a budget game to me than a big name release. I never felt obligated to buy...

    Your Most Regretted Game Purchase

    Bioshock 2. Honestly, it felt like lazy storytelling, with new elements just shoe-horned into the original story ("SO THAT LAMB LADY? TOTALLY HERE THE WHOLE TIME. SUPER IMPORTANT. WE JUST DIDN'T TALK ABOUT HER IN THE PREVIOUS GAME BECAUSE...UM...SO, HOW ABOUT THAT BIG SISTER?"), and with almost...

    Games that you've never beaten but want to...

    The biggest one is Jet Set Radio Future. I finally got a new copy of it, so hopefully I can fix that.
