    President Obama Introduces Tonight's Cosmos Premiere

    Given that the House Science Committee is filled with a bunch of old men with no scientific background, and that funding for the sciences continues to be on the decline, I'm pretty sure it's okay for the President to try and promote the sciences a bit.

    No Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2? How did that not make the list?

    Update: Fan "Fixes" Mass Effect 3 Ending With A 539-Page Rewrite

    It's been almost two years since ME3 released, and people are still complaining about the ending. Seriously?

    There actually were vampires in LoS.

    I think Steam just sold me a game that I can't legally play.

    Steam straightup says they can't give you a full refund (I.E. actually giving you your money back) because you're purchasing electronic goods, which are instantly delivered to you and cannot actually be returned, other than just deleting it from your library. Them giving you Steam Wallet credit...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition Status: Playable, Start to Finish

    As I said, Origins' biggest problem was the complete and total lack of balance. Mages as a whole were horrendously overpowered compared to other classes, and some of the sub-classes were no better. The ability to combine sub-classes exacerbated the problem further, as Arcane Warrior + Blood Mage...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition Status: Playable, Start to Finish

    I think something a lot of folks miss is that BioWare actually does make improvements to their games based on how past iterations have been received. However, they have the unfortunate tendency to do so at the cost of something else. For example: Mass Effect has very good RPG elements, but...

    Poll: Half Life 3: Do You Still Think It's Ever Coming?

    It's obvious (to me) at this point that they're holding off on Half-Life 3 until they get the Source successor engine finished. Source, despite being a very robust engine, is starting to show its age, and I'm pretty sure Gabe acknowledged at one point that the episodic model was a disaster and...

    Do nice guys really finish last?

    Nice guys don't always finish last. Me and my girlfriend (and soon-to-be fiance) got together simply because I was always nice and helped her out with things.

    Rumor: Australian Magazine Confirms Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer

    There's a lot of people who are seriously over-reacting to this bit of news. If Casey Hudson's tweets are any indication, singleplayer has been done for MONTHS now - all they're doing now is just playtesting and tweaking sections. For those of you questioning why ME3 needs multiplayer, look...

    You get to greenlight a sequel to any game that has ever existed. Which game do you choose?

    I'd have to say Battlefield 2142. I absolute adored that game (ESPECIALLY Titan Mode. Most fun I've ever had online), and would love to see a sequel for it. Unfortunately, it seems like we'll be stuck with Bad Company clones for the rest of forever. Aside from that, maybe just a sequel to...

    Escape to the Movies: The Expendables

    As odd as it might sound, I made an account JUST to post in this topic. I recently went to see The Expendables with a couple of friends. First and foremost, if you take this film seriously, you will not enjoy it. The plot is horrid (and essentially non-existent), but it's a great film for...
