    Underworld Ascendant is More Than a Spiritual Successor

    Enjoyed U:UW back in the day. The second one not so much and Arx Fatalis was only a decent attempt. Here's some game-play footage UW:A: I like the chunky, vibrant aesthetic. The FOV looks a little too narrow for my taste, but it's probably customizable.

    Cross gender roleplay

    ^ Hey community man, how you been? :D Anyway, if I was bothered to learn the rules and play a table-top role play game, I'd be: A wizard who permanently transmutated himself into a beautiful woman by accident. Instead of looking for a mcguffen\deus ex machina to get his meat and potatoes...

    Lionsgate Waging a Legal War Over Expendables 3 Internet Leak

    This is very surreal. It's stuff like this that a story of comedic excellence is waiting to be penned. It's like suing Keyser Söze. I wish them all the best with it.

    E-cigarette and vaping

    You lost me somewhere between the adjectives, moralising and speculation...

    E-cigarette and vaping

    I am a 20 cigarette a day man (or was). I'd happily smoke until I'm riddled with disease (that way the pathologist will know I led an interesting life) but at 20-a-day at 10 or so euro per pack, it's an expensive habit. I've been "vaping" for a year and a bit and a 30ml bottle of juice will...

    NIS America Pulls GaymerX Sponsorship, Devolver Digital Steps Forward - Update

    Don't understand this. I thought gaming conventions were about the hobby of gaming. Wouldn't think that there is an issue with rampant gay bashing at gaming conventions. Never been to one, so no experience in that area I go to gay bars to hook-up and given that it primarily caters to gay men...

    Question, If Anita Sarkeesian is Right, why is Jack Thompson Wrong?

    Haven't played the SR games, so don't know how they handled human trafficking. I know it's a comedy game and I do think you can make anything funny. Ever watch Brass Eye? The special is on the subject of pedophilia. One scene is especially memorable...

    Question, If Anita Sarkeesian is Right, why is Jack Thompson Wrong?

    McNulty was my favourite character. He just lucks his way through life... Hamlet: Act 4 Scene 7. Can't help myself.

    Question, If Anita Sarkeesian is Right, why is Jack Thompson Wrong?

    I "exist" on this board by happenstance. Here for Yahtzee (bless him) and Jimbo. Usually don't like moralising, but Jim has irony on his side. Understood the context perfectly. It's still the Green Lantern on title. Guessing it's also a tragedy not a comedy. Never seen or heard of...

    Question, If Anita Sarkeesian is Right, why is Jack Thompson Wrong?

    Will a quote do? "... But the negative effects on men are just as alarming, albeit in slightly different ways. Studies have found, for example, that after having viewed sexually objectified female bodies, men in particular tend to view woman as less intelligent, less competent and...

    Friday Box-Office: The Rock Gets Beat Up By a Girl

    John: "Darling, while we wait for bigger and brighter pictures on the horizon, anything interesting on this Friday night?" Jane: "Well, sweetheart, it's between a crap film with The Rock in a story we've seen a thousand times already (and they still can't get his name right), or it's a crap...

    Question, If Anita Sarkeesian is Right, why is Jack Thompson Wrong?

    Ever read a 19th century penny dreadful? I kid. A real question for you: Should writers of all mediums censor themselves to meet Ms. Sarkeesian's ideology? And the band played 'Believe it if you like'. A legitimate problem, for-the-most-part, with some games is a lack of accountants...

    Question, If Anita Sarkeesian is Right, why is Jack Thompson Wrong?

    Oh, sir... you flatter me so! Further along the wagon gets, the sillier the destination. Amusing. Like a parody really. Going to watch Brass Eye again... Never watched her videos. Can't comment on her arguments. The second line on the kickstarter put me off a bit. May as well have wrote...

    Question, If Anita Sarkeesian is Right, why is Jack Thompson Wrong?

    Agreed. There is no comparison. Anita has been successful, Thompson has not. She's also smart enough not to face her critics or have a public debate. That would be embarrassing. Ethical too. The only similarities between their agendas, are their impossible goals. Haven't watched her videos...
