    Escape to the Movies: Transformers: Dark of the Moon

    Will there ever be a movie-reviewer who doesn't feel the need to bash explosion/action porn (what I refer to most Michael Bay films as)? You all hate the plot, the characters, and even the visuals are never enough to make any reviewer happy. I get this. I could have told you that anyone who...

    Fox News Attacks NEA for Classifying Games as Art

    To be totally fair, while Fox was clearly very biased in the way they were covering this, Asbury did have something of a point in that video games really do not need federal funding when the federal funds could be going elsewhere. To ignore this point would confirm the rest of us as being just...

    Poll: Hans Zimmer - Genius or Hack?

    So what you're saying is, you love Hans Zimmer, but hate the way the industry works. Welcome to the world, where the people with the money call the shots.

    Epic Says Infinity Blade Won't Be Coming to Android

    My point being that Epic is a BUSINESS, and whether or not the technology works, if they don't think it's cost effective to use it on android, then they're not going to take the risk. And if you really think its that easy to roll out a project on even ONE device, and maintain it (so that...

    Epic Says Infinity Blade Won't Be Coming to Android

    Every time I see the comments on a thread like this, it becomes really obvious how many people on here have no idea how a business works.

    Chewbacca, Why do you think he's such a great character?

    Correction: The outer-galaxy aliens (Yuuzhan-Vong) dropped a moon on the planet he was on. Twas, pretty epic. He tried to catch it.

    Am I the only one to find Sucker Punch amazingly distasteful? Spoilers possibly

    I think you meant to say 20, but yea, the only implication of any pedophilia in this movie is the father in the beginning, and it's cast in an EXTREMELY negative light. Using it as a plot device does not make this into some kind of snuff film. (Ever seen American Beauty, Discordian? I'm guessing...

    Black Ops rage... welcome to the next year of your life.

    I feel like you and I are just about on the same page on this. While an unscoped rifle might be relatively easy to pull up quickly and fire (ex. M16, Ak-47), a rifle with a scope is going to be much harder to produce the same results with. I'm not saying by any means that it is impossible to...

    Black Ops rage... welcome to the next year of your life.

    The amount of people telling MiracleOfSound down for his premature rage against this game is extremely encouraging to me, as it seems like he has put little thought into what he decided was rage-worthy from a few pre-release videos of a game he hasn't even touched yet. Basing all of his...

    Piracy is harmless?

    Regardless of whether or not this is the case, you're ignoring the fact that these corporations provide those workers with their paychecks. You're argument here is another reason to stop pirating because in the long run you're screwing over the little guy. Consider the CEO's of these...

    Piracy is harmless?

    I love how everyone refers to "huge corporations" like they're some terrible monster who eats children and craps out fireballs. You guys realize that these corporations are made up of actual people? If you aspire to be a functioning member of society in the future, you yourself might end up...

    Why do games have to be art?

    As someone who is working their way into the industry (of game development) I think that the issue of games becoming a media that can be regarded as art is important because it allows for a distinction between the "games" that are merely an experience to enjoy and kill some time with, and the...

    WiiWare Takes a Descent Into Gaming History

    This just makes me crave for a Star Wars: X-Wing and/or Tie-Fighter remake. Those games were awesome.

    Cub Scouts Award Pins and Loops for Mad Gamer Skills

    I'm a little in awe of how many people in this thread think that awarding badges to scouts is some sort of new achievement system. I made Eagle scout six or seven years ago, and scouts have been around and doing their thing LONG before that, so if anything, the "achievements" that you guys think...

    Resident Evil: Afterlife Trailer Released

    When did zombies cease to be important to the Resident Evil franchise? Did ANYONE see zombies in this trailer? At all?
