    Non-Violent Game Idea: Puppies in Hell

    I could make this game. Migbt take me a year, year and a half, and all I know is Python. Reminds me a bit of Docomodake, and that was awesome.

    Give the blood to the doctor inside the television!

    Shaky Cam Games

    My theory about C:LOS is that Patrick Sean Zobek was following Gabe with the camera the whole time, and he's got a bad case of DT. There is ONE God of War clone with a female protagonist, but it made up for any possible progressivism by being terrible.

    A Handy Glossary of Yahtzee Terms

    I'll admit to having looked up a few of the slang terms in the reviews, but it's always nice to learn something. Also, for his sake, I really hope Yahtzee doesn't have to review Castlevania:LOS. I really think it would be the end of him.

    Super Mario Galaxy 2

    I actually had this idea last week (which one game would you force someone to play to prove that videogames are a valid medium of expression) and was going to be all smart and make a forum post about it, but I couldn't come up with an answer. I was going to say one of the Gamecube Zeldas, since...

    On Difficulty Levels

    My two favorite naming schemes for difficulty levels are MGS and Bayonetta. In No More Heroes I always get confused if 'mild' is supposed to be harder or easier than 'sweet', because 'mild' is commonly known as the easiest difficulty of salsa. And... ok, you can yell at me, but Super...

    Revenge

    SPOILER I JUST read Count of Monte Cristo and I thought the ending was too happy. He literally sailed off into the sunset with fresh Asian tail. His giant plot of revenge had NO negative consequences to him whatsoever. Maybe I'm being too cynical.

    Role-Playing Games

    An RPG is any game where you can go get a sandwich at any point without having a negative effect on the gameplay. I suppose that can be stretched a bit to apply to games like Magna Carta or Tales of Symponia (both of which suck) where you can't get a sandwich during the battles but you can at...

    Blaarghh.. Flea's!

    I would get something like Frontline for the cat. This will kill all the fleas which bite the cat, so the cat becomes a little roving flea death machine. It's a bit pricy, but worth it. The cheaper versions are a little less effective and a little more likely to end up giving you a rash (this is...

    Soul Calibre 3.

    'Soul Calibur' is the name of a sword in the game. They can spell it however they want to. I always imagined they were referencing 'Excalibur', but at any rate, it's not a failed attempt to spell 'calibre' or 'caliber'.

    Anime Review: Haruhi Suzumiya

    I think it started out quite promising, with very interesting ideas, and then petered out toward the end until the last episode, which was actually painful to watch. Did you like the ending?

    A genderless world

    I think it might be better to talk about gender in today's society without comparing it to what people may or may not have done in the past, or what's 'natural' for an animal, mammal, or primate to do. Just because something is or is not 'natural' or 'instinctive' doesn't make it the right or...

    The six commandments of body language (using it to attract women)

    I think that if a guy were smiling, nodding and staring directly into my eyes, I'd run. Fast. And I might even say, if it's not too crazy, that women are individuals, not an evil hive-mind, and different women might be attracted to different things.

    What Defines a Noob

    I always regarded a 'noob' to be someone who was new to a game but instead of being humble and eager to learn from more experienced players, acts like a douche, arrogant but still making silly mistakes. Somehow there are people who can put hundreds of hours into a game and still be a noob.

    How do you hold the controller?

    They're usually 6 button arcade fighters, meaning that if I'm using a controller with four face buttons then I'm two buttons short. It's very effective for Soul Calibur, though, which is the only fighting game I'm actually decent at. I've been trying to get actual arcade sticks for my systems...
