    Box Office: 'Warcraft' Is A $430 Million Flop

    h...huh?? Bruh, D2 came out after Warcraft, Starcraft, Warcraft 2, and the WC2 expansion. If there are any similarities between D2 and those games, then it was them putting things into D2 and not the other way around. And if you're thinking of WC3/WC3:FT and SC2, their plots are very...

    [Spoilers] Legacy of the Void Epilogue -- I can finally empathize with the hate for ME3's ending.

    Honestly, I don't see it as particularly ambiguous. One of three things happened: Jim commits suicide, and the end is his hallucinations in death; it's actually God-Kerrigan, come to give Jim his happy ending; some imposter come to steal Jim for... reasons? #3 is really weak...

    [Spoilers] Legacy of the Void Epilogue -- I can finally empathize with the hate for ME3's ending.

    Just finished LotV and epilogue tonight, and holy cow I was not expecting the story to go full-blown Shymalan at the end, in the space of a cutscene, mission, and final cutscene. I doubt I'm alone, but at least in the SC subreddit there were enough people supportive of the ending to make...

    10 Awesome Magic Cards I'm Thankful Are Banned

    I think you should make that a little clearer in the article itself, because absent that qualifying statement, it's not the only card that's received an emergency ban: Those nine (Skullclamp in particular) were emergency banned shortly after Mirrodin rotated into Standard because they were...

    Poll: Destiny beta impressions.

    I only managed to get a few hours in, but overall it's a resounding "meh." I honestly expected a lot more from Bungie. The introductory cutscenes are nothing but cliches ("The Darkness"? Seriously?), and the voice acting is woefully uninspired. I was hoping it might pick up once the game...

    Poll: Should Eevee have been the mascot of Pokemon?

    That's the entire reason Ash's Pikachu is the mascot of Pokemon. If Ash had received an Eevee instead of Pikachu, Ash's Eevee would have been the mascot, along with the requisite three-foot plot armor and permanent deus ex machina. And Eevee would probably have been a fine mascot. However...

    Subs over Dubs: Which Anime turned you into a 'Purist'?

    I would say GITS would be your best choice here for introducing her to subs. Fantastic voice acting, gripping story. Depending on her taste, Gurren Lagann or Michiko to Hatchin are great choices as well. Alternatively, Paprika is an excellent film, with top-notch animation, voice acting, and...

    Which games would you love to be able to play for the first time again?

    Kinda surprised no one's said Journey yet. Finally got around to buying a PS3 and then buying Journey this past weekend, and by god did my year of absolute vigilance in not spoiling that game for myself pay off. There are few pieces of art that genuinely move me, and Journey is one of them...

    Gender Swapped for a month. Now what?

    It would be incredibly hard to explain to my boss--honestly, I'd be surprised if I kept my job. It's not that he's sexist or...trans-ist(?), but that it would be incredibly difficult to convince him and my co-workers that I wasn't just some psychotic hot chick that just killed/kidnapped me and...

    Happy Anime/Cartoons that are mature-ish. Also a sort of celebration thread for them.

    Great Teacher Onizuka is pretty good for the first 25-30 episodes (after which it became too sappy for my tastes). Ex-biker decides to become a teacher in order to get laid by hot students, ends up being a wonderful role model and teacher for a class of at-risk students. Shaman King is...

    I Hate Magic

    Interesting, but I'm not sure I entirely agree. Having played a number of the (for lack of a better word) "positive" implementations you've mentioned, my own conclusion is that video games won't have the freedom or creative capability of their tabletop/pen-and-paper cousins, simply because of...

    Best and worst gun feel

    The Widow from ME2 is probably my favorite. Pretty much as soon as you can get to it, you can OHKO with headshots. Add in Inferno Ammo, and everything dies. Best part is the FWEENG sound as a successful headshot lands. Gives me Fist of the Heavens fuzzies. Binary Rifle is either a tie or...

    Recommend me an insanely long book

    Honestly surprised that Les Miserables isn't on that list yet. Fantastic novel, and by the looks of your list, you won't have a problem with the writing style. I also really liked Man in the Iron Mask (it's part of the Three Musketeers books.) Might be up your alley as well.

    Poll: Job you love, or job that pays high?

    Uh, why not both? Seriously, I just got a job that starts soon after I graduate, and it involves doing something I love (electrical power systems design) while also paying very very well.

    I won't give up

    Super Hexagon will not beat me, even though my brain feels like a lead rhino after a couple hours of playing.
