    The Big Picture: Blecch, Dull Tests

    In my opinion, we need to be asking why more good movies aren't passing the test. Women keep our culture and our society strong. It is important not to minimize or rationalize arguments that make them stronger. It is true good quality movies typically fail the test, but I think that is the...

    Why the Movie Is Better than the Game

    I liked Dune as a video game much more than the movie.

    Favorite bad movie

    Ski patrol, so bad, so funny. Also, as a second choice, Primer, this movie won a bunch of awards, is really obscure, but one of the best nerdy, time traveler movies of all time. It is so good, but was made on a very cheap budget.

    The times you thought: 'fuck this game'

    Any GTA game. I always try so hard to get into these games, get half way through and then get bored and start something else. The weird thing is that when I played Bully, I really got into it.

    Poll: Elder Scrolls or Fallout?

    TES. Ever since I played daggerfall as a teenager I was hooked.

    I have never raged/facepalmed so hard in my life

    This reminds me of the Arcade Fire song Suburban War Now the music divides us into tribes you choose your side, I'll choose my side

    Does TES need an overhaul of combat?

    I don't think that every game has to strive to be the same as other games. Personally I like the TES games world openness and the ability to play as first person. If they had to sacrifice the openness of the world to improve the combat, I wouldn't want it, because I don't play the game...

    Disney Acquires Lucasfilm

    I'd love to see some material done that wasn't meant to be so epic in the star wars universe, not that the epic films would be bad, but there just seems to be so many possibilities with the universe opening up. I kind of hope they ignore the books, ignore the mediclorians or whatever their...

    Was Half-Life meant to be some kind of landmark?

    Like most have commented, FPS's were typically the Doom style and usually didn't allow a player to jump, so jumping alone was a pretty big deal. For it's time I would say the graphics were a pretty big jump forward. It was definitely a jump forward from the Bond 64 game, and if you were...

    Let's Remake Star Wars

    Hate to burst your bubble Bob, but the authentic Evil Empire of late, is the US. That being said, maybe it does add an interesting element for the modern version of Star Wars giving a bit of self reflection.

    The Big Picture: You Are Wrong About Sucker Punch, Part Two

    I'm not sure how many people have done research on this movie, but I came across an interesting article that describes it as an example of Monarch programming experiment performed by the CIA. Even the period being in the 50's suggests it might be related. I also find it interesting that...

    Jimquisition: Rape vs. Murder

    Actually that was not my point at all. I am not angered at all about the downplay of murder in video games. I enjoy playing many video games where the protagonist is given the opportunity to commit murder or even does it as a plot point. I was just trying to make a point that separating...

    Jimquisition: Rape vs. Murder

    Maybe you can justify killing, but I don't think you can justify murder ever either. Merriam Webster defines murder as "the crime of unlawfully killing a person especially with malice aforethought". That being said, I think it is fair game to use it in video games or in any type of fiction...

    Jimquisition: Rape vs. Murder

    But I suppose "It could be worse, they could be killing real people" is okay?

    Jimquisition: Rape vs. Murder

    This comment is ridiculous and actually quite frightening. Rape is more evil than murder? When did human life become so cheap? And anyone who plays the evil path of a game where they abuse NPC's verbally and or physically in order to achieve a role of dominance, are essentially playing...
