    I used to dislike Anita Sarkeesian, but...

    I've enjoyed her videos quite a bit- apart from a few snarky remarks she makes which I believe is more of an attempt to bring some "voice" to her videos- everything is fairly presented and even entertaining. I've brought up her points to a number of gaming friends of mine and they always say I...

    Poll: What's your favorite GTA game so far?

    I love all of them but my favorite was San Andreas. I loved the variety of locations and activities- like ramping a motorcycle off of the Luxor (or The Camel's Toe) into a base jump. The massive scale of that game provided ample opportunity for satire, which is my favorite aspect of the GTA...

    Jimquisition: Solving the Sexism Situation

    Haven't been able to make it through either of these shows. It's not the content, it's the delivery method.

    Sometimes, holistic is better

    Most of what is mentioned here is anti-holistic. It doesn't mean bending the rules or adding your own flair, it means considering a situation as one whole rather than a sum of parts. Focusing on one special ingredient is the opposite of that. It's just what the word means. Even so-called...

    Producer Says Dead Island is More Borderlands than Heavy Rain

    Step 1: Make a super popular video for your game that is emotional, complex, and compelling. Step 2: Watch as people from all over get excited about a non-typical gameplay experience. Step 3: Backtrack, insult the type of game that made people excited about your own game and instead put out...

    Go Big or Go Home - Netflix Courts Fincher's New Series

    I am concerned that this movie will cause LESS network content on Netflix. Why would a network want their programing on a system that now acts as a direct competitor?

    Rush Limbaugh Sticks Up for Video Games

    I'm a conservative and I listen to Rush quite a bit. This doesn't surprise me at all. Arnold, though he claims to be a republican, almost always falls on the liberal side of the fence, probably because he suffers from the same affliction that most politicians have: He uses government power to...

    Super Mario Galaxy 2

    I agree with Little Big Planet, but I'd also throw in the lego games. My workmate never played games in her life when she bought a Wii, a DS, and a PSP for her and her kids to play with. When asking what game she could play I told her to play the lego games and she loved them. Not only that, but...

    FarmVille and Nintendo Virtual Boy Labeled Worst Inventions Ever

    Phf. The times article is stupid. First of all, every video game can be described as random button pressing for a virtual... whatever. I've never played farmville, but I have a sneaking suspicion people only hate it because so many other people love it. A good invention does what its...

    Boy Sees Boobs in Comic, Tells Mom, Mom Tells News

    It wouldn't be offensive to someone of the Mormon religion, it would be offensive to anyone who wants to try and control what their 10 year old sees. My whole family, including me and my wife, are active and practicing Mormons and most of us love comics, including the pink bits. It is prejudice...

    Question of the Day, April 17, 2010

    DLC is an illusion. All money spent on video games is buying virtual in-game items. Is it worth it to buy a $25 mount on World of Warcraft? Is it worth it to buy $60 worth of shooting simulators? Are games nickel and dimeing us to death? Some may be, but the market will root out what is worth...

    Warren Spector Discusses Epic Mickey Concept Art, Screens

    I'm not too worried, I think it will be plenty dark and awesome. Plus, the screen shots look likes its from a very small part of one "world". I'm most excited about the use of theme parks in the game.... the illustration of The Haunted Mansion and It's a Small World on the cover of Game...

    Your Favourite Video game Story?

    - Kingdom Hearts games. The strange way they bring an odd multiverse of Disney and Square characters together and manage to give complex emotional characterizations to corporate icons is very interesting. -Final Fantasy X, go ahead and flame me. I liked the story, particularly the dynamics...

    Games that make you feel uncomfortable

    Recently, every time I load World of Warcraft I get uncomfortable.... I just can't shake the feeling that I could do something, anything, better than that. I have several level 80s, but spent too much time grinding for good gear so that the dorks would let me raid with them... and it feels...
