    Age of Ultron Footage Was Almost The Best Of Hall H

    Whoa. Bro alert, bro alert: we have a bro on board. I never really liked the Mad Max movies. They seemed kind of juvenile to me. But then, most apocalyptic survivalism movies seem that way to me.

    Why Do We Even Care About Animal Crossing?

    I always thought it was cathartic because it takes you out of the depressing, morally ambiguous chaos of the real world and provides a quiet, peaceful little alternate universe where everything is always A-OK. No wars or disasters or murders or people falling out of love and fighting one...

    Why Can't Comedy Games be Funny to Play?

    Deadly Premonition, full stop. The entire game was a so-horrible-it's-compelling comedy from start to finish. EDIT: Whoa, this post kind of got away from me. Just skip to the bottom (THE CRUX) if you want the TL DR version. STORY: On the story side, you have likeable characters who go...

    Xbox One Won't Support SDTVs

    I can see that. I personally am not going to whine or bellyache. I'm just not gonna buy an XBox One lol. Still, would be nice if the elitist hate on people behind the curve died down a little bit. Some people seem to think that having older/newer tech somehow makes people inferior/superior to...

    Xbox One Won't Support SDTVs

    Why was this news post so needlessly antagonistic towards people who still have SDTVs? I am someone who is working hard to make ends meet, and even if I wanted this steaming pile of crap of a console to play games I can get on my 5-year-old-PC anyway, the cost of an XBone being $600-$700 instead...

    Escape to the Movies: Life of Pi

    ....so in other words, you and Pi would get along. These snips of your post are pretty close to exactly what Pi is all about. That "collecting religions" thing Bob was frothing at the mouth over was just Pi choosing to take the best aspects of several religions and believe what he wants of them...

    Escape to the Movies: Life of Pi

    I just wanted to say two things: First, I didn't get too much of anti-athiest vibe from this book (have yet to see the movie, but what Bob described of the plot/twist/message sounds about the same). I got the impression that when Pi tells the darker story of his troubles, he is actively...

    MMOs Need More Bastards

    Mm, maybe that server load has something to do with it, yeah. Love the game either way. I really hope Salem takes off and becomes popular, at the very least so it gets developers thinking about free will again. And haha, I haven't had any personal experiences with battering rams yet, so I...

    MMOs Need More Bastards

    Hope it works out! I love it, but there is probably a reason it only boasts about a few thousand (single digits) players. Hard to get into and crappy combat mostly. But I think the free will and being able to explore the environment that players have created is worth it :).

    MMOs Need More Bastards

    All I have to say is that if this article spoke to anyone the same way it spoke to me, that we need more untamed wilderness style MMOs, I heartily recommend Haven and Hearth. It is an almost unknown free-to-play isometric MMO that has lackluster graphics, no tutorial beyond the player made...

    Escape to the Movies: Green Lantern

    Yeah, this is my problem with overexaggerated reviews. It wouldn't be as bad if Bob gave himself some time to cool down and maybe did something less sensational, and who knows, maybe he would still feel the same, but something as blowhard-y as this review is just bound to scare of skittish...

    Escape to the Movies: Green Lantern

    Everyone here who hasn't seen it yet, I wouldn't believe all of the critic reviews coming out absolutely ripping on the movie if I were you. I have never read a Green Lantern story (only getting brief glances of Jon Stewart's lantern in the Trinity Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman series), and...

    Morality Matters

    In response to James' mention of online/social games for moral choice: Is it the social aspect you were referring to? The way online games challenge us to interact with people and choose how we carry ourselves? Also has anyone here on this week's Extra Consideration played Haven and Hearth...

    Beginner Programming

    Eww, 3D reliance. No no, I am totally into the 2D scene :D or isometric. To this day Haven and Hearth is one of my favorite small-time indie developer games (absolutely free, two person creative team I believe). Very unique, very enjoyable, highly recommended. What I think makes a game good is...

    Beginner Programming

    Lets say that I have a passion for games and gaming in general, and really enjoyed the few programming classes I've taken (just a college semester in Python and some Java). Well, what if I want to make games of my own? Indie is a big thing right now, so obviously its possible to make enjoyable...
