    PS4 Probed

    At this point, if this is the wave of the future that Sony & MS are going to steer towards, then I'll be skipping the PS4 Pro initially (And the XBox Scorpio, too). Like many others, I don't have a 4K TV (yet), but the main reason is more that they seem to be setting the precedent that the next...

    Poll: Who do you hate more? Voldemort or Dolores Umbridge?

    The difference to me is that Voldemort had psychological issues like -- borderline personality disorder, abandonment issues, probably even some schizophrenic paranoia -- that made him the evil, heartless monster that he became, with a heaping dose of megalomania thrown in for fun. Delores...

    What game do you hate most?

    Maybe I'd feel differently today if I tried it again, and I know it's sacrilege to many, but I hated Super Mario Sunshine for the Gamecube. Just something about the game setting never set well with me, but the worst for me was that some of the levels were just rage inducing between trying to...

    Poll: 100 Percenting

    Meh... Not really. I've got too many games in my backlog to spend time trying to get super-hard or super-grindy achievements/trophies. If I'm enjoying a game, I'm certainly open to going a bit out of the way to get some of the non-"low hanging fruit" trophies, but if it becomes too annoying...

    Fat Princess and Overwatch Compare and Contrast

    I read it... I played a good bit of Fat Princess back in the day, and I thought it was a great game! Like you, I keep hoping a new version of THAT game (not just an IP spin-off, but an actual Fat Princess 2) will be announced for the PS4! That said, although I've never cared much for FPS...

    Why is the TV landscape so boring?

    If you're legitimately looking for good shows to watch across any TV-adaptable genre, you'd have to try pretty hard NOT to find something outstanding to watch right now. Yes, budgets, profits, and bottom lines limit the size and scope of every show, even the animated ones, because that's just...

    NOT well-recieved games that you like and won't stop defending.

    Yes! This! When I first got it, I was underwhelmed, mostly because I tend not to enjoy racing games of any sort, but then I started playing around with it and customizing my vehicles a bit (although I never completely got into the creativity aspect of it, other than doing the minimum...

    NOT well-recieved games that you like and won't stop defending.

    Enslaved: Odyssey to the West Yes, the ending was a bit bizarre (especially since it never got a sequel), but outside of that, I thought it was a really spectacular game, and it came to be one of my unexpected favorites of the last console generation. Good story, great characters and acting...

    Champions Online: Does Whatever a Spider Can

    Well, DC doesn't really care about continuity anymore, that part is true. Retcons or flat-out ignoring continuity to further a story has pretty much become the norm. That being said, the multiverse was brought back in Infinite Crisis about 3 years ago or so. Only a few writers have really...

    Earth Day: will you celebrate it?

    I won't, because I think the whole "green" environmental movement has been completely hijacked by people who want to push a specific political agenda that they can wrap up inside "green" terminology...

    Poll: Portal's ending song

    It was just a brilliant, unexpected surprise when I played Portal! I love the song, and I play it on Rock Band pretty regularly!

    When did Final Fantasy die for you?

    XII was painful for me, and I didn't even bother finishing it.... And if this seemingly interminable wait for XIII just continues to drag on and on and on, that may be the final nail in the coffin for me. What used to be a Day 1 purchase for me may end up being relegated to "Wait until it...

    Favorite canceled TV shows

    Of shows that were canceled before they were READY to be canceled (unlike shows like Friends, Buffy, Battlestar Galactica that were pretty much able to end the way they wanted), my most-missed are: Angel (Yeah, he got to craft an ending, but you know Joss Whedon was hoping they'd give it...

    Political Correctness Gone Mad

    I can't find anything legitimate on the colored coffee claim, but here's a link on "Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep" -- http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/education/4782856.stm

    The threat of Gay marriage apparently.

    Well, I'll say what I basically said on another website about this.... To the woman in the video claiming "My freedom is being taken away", freedom is not "being free to see/have only things that I agree with". That's not freedom at all. On the contrary, it's often things that I don't like...
