Out of all the varieties of video games in the world, MMORPG is the one genre I have yet to play. Lately I've been checking out Youtube Let's Play videos of WoW and...I was not impressed. By contrast I found Guild Wars 2 to look much more fun and aesthetically pleasing. I guess it's a testament to Blizzard that WoW…

We're criticizing a crafting system for being a time-consuming convoluted affair that belongs in a JRPG, not an action game. I'm not against the idea of an engineer putting together scrap to make a weapon, but like I said, the first game kept upgrading simple and coherent. But while we're talking about Mass Effect, thi…

That's exactly how I play these kind of games, and it's heartening to see similar replies. Yay for us and our weird ways.

Yeah I appreciate that they went with the engineer theme, but you have to admit it was clunky as hell. Way too much scrolling and clicking, going back and forth. It's totally at odds with a narrative that's supposed to be tense and constantly moving forward. The crafting system is a mess aesthetically. Plus all the…

Are there any examples of a game that took so long to come out and was actually good? I'm drawing a blank at the moment...

This is me claiming otherwise.

Slight tangent, but I'm 40 hours into Dragon Age 2 right now, and I have to say that everyone really bashed it too hard and gave me the wrong impression. Or maybe all the criticism lowered my expectations? Either way, it's actually not that bad.

You just played three games worth of hard thought-compelling decisions. Now in the climax you suddenly want a black and white good/bad ending? Really? The synthesis choice is totally in line with everything that came before, making a hard choice with pros and cons.

There's nothing wrong with the Synthesis extended ending. #opinion

Sleeping Dogs was 1000 times better than GTAV and had a better radio station selection. (Ninja Tune!!!)

Could I play AC: Rogue before AC: IV? I want to get IV on PS4, but am not going to get that console till late next year methinks.

I think Shepard's death is softened and even heartening with EDI's final grateful line in the synthesis ending: "I am alive, and I'm not alone." Totally worth it.

Spoiler talk yo.

I just finished an epic month long marathon of the Mass Effect trilogy. It has become my favourite franchise as a result. Obviously with so much time since release, the games are patched, all DLC out, plus extended endings, so I basically had little to complain about. But it's still weird to see so much hate spewed at…

I recently re-watched Swordfish. There is a long montage of Hugh Jackman hacking to his heart's content on multiple monitors and it is hilarious.

Great manga. I reviewed it on MAL. I even love the 'farmland' arc. Overall it's just a refreshing change of tone from most other manga.
