    Why its still not cool to admit youre a Gamer

    Guys, don't argue, you're both right. The story of Fallout 3 sucks because it's a story about clean water and the importance thereof. Meanwhile in the magical land of gameplay, when you actually find clean water you don't actually ever consider drinking it for sustenance or saving it for...

    Why its still not cool to admit youre a Gamer

    The actual reason why it's still not cool to admit you're a gamer is simple: Professional videogame journalists. The worst kind of journalist of all. Isn't it interesting that often when you go on Metacritic and look at "professional" review scores and user review scores they tend to...

    Stolen Pixels #172: Gotham's Latest Superhero

    I think some dude already came up with the idea of Gunman, a gun-themed superhero in a gun costume, operating out of the Guncave, driving the Gunmobile and incapacitating villains with gun-shaped boomerangs. (He does shoot sharks instead of using a special repellent, though.) It may or may...

    What is your favorite song lyric?

    As a child of the 80's, my favorite lyrics are invariably the ones that are cheesier than all the others I've heard combined. At present, it's a three-way draw between: 1) "Go into the stormy night, I can't stop burning heart", an exceptionally hilarious Engrish line from JAM Project's Crest...

    How have you abused the ability to name your main character in a game before

    I can never personally think of any good names for my characters, but I do recall some guy naming Shiva in Final Fantasy VIII "kumquats", and being greeted at the start of the Ifrit fight with the line "They have kumquats?!" EDIT: Now that I think about it, I did once create a character with...

    Most blatant tune stealing you have heard?

    The Paul Oxley's Unit song Spanish Bars and the Stratovarius song Playing With Fire both have a certain pre-chorus part that is uncannily similar Also Paul Oxley's Unit was incredibly popular in Finland in the early 80's and Stratovarius is a Finnish band Draw your own conclusions...

    Stolen Pixels #99: Home, Smelling of Malted Barley

    The creepy factor of Project Natal doesn't really come from being fully engaged in conversation with a computer so much as it does from the E3 demo having a woman in her thirties putting the moves on a fully digital small boy.

    Poll: Games are art?

    It seems to me like people who enjoy videogames just want games to be seen as art because of people who go DURR GAMES ARE STUPID YOU NO-LIFER. Why would you care about profoundly stupid opinions like that in the first place? They're just games. If a game feels like art to you, that's fine, but...

    Heavy Rain Dev: "Let's Stop Making Games For Kids"

    Nothing will ever revalidate anything David Cage does after Indigo Prophecy. That game was as bad as three Daikatanas. I kind of lost you at the point where you arbitrarily defined "fun" and "enjoyable" as two completely different things. Prediction: You will be saving the world in Heavy...

    Heavy Rain Dev: "Let's Stop Making Games For Kids"

    Fine words from a man whose idea of good storytelling is a dead guy fist-fighting the antropomorphic personification of the Internet and an ancient Mayan Illuminati Super Saiyan for the fate of the world, aided only by his ability to hadoken cops and uppercut furniture. An ability he gained as a...
