    Addicted to Gaming

    I honestly think that calling it 'addictive' is an intentionally manipulative choice of words. Addition requires withdrawal symptoms, and throwing a tantrum because you can't do the thing you like doesn't count. A more accurate, and almost equally negative word would be 'obsession', but of...

    All About Alignment

    I agree that the good/evil slider is inherently judgmental, and for that matter, not many real people would identify themselves as "evil" even if they where torturing orphans to death; one way or another circumstances demanded it. I think you could make the same sort of slider just based on what...

    Why We Love Zombies

    I don't think the popularity of zombies means anything as depressing as all humans want to kill off most other humans. I think it's just a generalized instinct to kill /something/ every so often. Maybe it's a guy stealing your food or trying to stab you in the face, but more likely a tiger...

    Why the Book Is Always Better

    Whichever came first is always better. If a movie becomes a game, the movie was better. If a game becomes a movie, the game was better. If a book becomes anything, the book was better. If a song gets translated to another language, it was better in the first language. There are two pretty big...

    Lego Bricks Require More Polygons Than World of Warcraft Avatars

The block part would be easy, but if you want...

    Zero Punctuation: Webcomics

    Kind of like a driving sequence in an FPS or wrestling on the sci-fi channel, not bad but not exactly what I came here for. I guess no mockalicious games came out recently?

    Why a classical zombie outbreak would be rather underwhelming

    Biggest problem with any zombie story- food. I mean, that's why the zombies are running around eating people, right? 'cause they ran out of stuff in the fridge and can't open cans. So, what happens when there aren't any more people in the area to eat? 100% magic-invulnerable zombies could I...

    Zero Punctuation: Oblivion

    Yeah, I agree with emersion being it's one huge, glaring flaw, come to think of it... I've been dissatisfied with the game for a while and only now figured out why. In most games, when you're the epic savior, there's a reason. Either you end up dual-wielding a minigun and a rocket launcher, or...
