OK, I'm probably going to get assaulted with "PC master race" stuff for this, but honestly this game looks — visually speaking — just awful. I realize it's the beginning of a new console cycle — compare early PS2 games to say, Final Fantasy XII (a vastly underrated and very pretty game); but seriously, for all the…

Well played, Sir. Well played.

"Zelda looks like a little weak sissy ..."
Complains about game, gets main character's name wrong.

This definitely reads like fiction to me. Bad fiction, and not just because of the horrific, sickening subject matter. Others have pointed out the "chuckled" line, which certainly comes off as an amateurish attempt at creating a villain.

As a first-world, college-educated, middle class, straight white male, with literally EVERY ADVANTAGE, please, asshats of the world, do me a favor and don't defend us — especially the ones that act like this douche. Seriously. We'll be OK. I promise.

Reaper Miniatures. The Bones Kickstarter was an amazing success. But yeah, point still taken.

This. A thousand times this.

You know, I realize Bethesda will always get shit for Horse Armors, but Dragonborn was pretty amazing — especially if you loved Morrowind. I picked it up on a Steam sale and it was nice and cheat. Even Fallout 3 content was pretty decent.

With Gearbox, I'm a big fan of Borderlands 2 — sure they've put out plenty of…

Post necromancy! Was just going back through some old articles for something I'm writing about controversial games and saw HokutoAndy's piece. This is one of the most well-informed, thought out, article things I've ever scene on gaming site. Excellent, excellent work.

Remember that F2P-guy who was all, "Guys, I'm not hurting the industry, for realz. It's teh economics?"
Yeah, about that ...

I was going to write a polite, concise post about how hiring does not typically happen in large groups, is not generally newsworthy and usually of little interest to all but the person being hired, but other people did it for me.

That being said, big or surprising hires ARE frequently in the news. For whatever reason…

"Updated my journal."
LOL. Classic.

THIS. Hell, I still have it installed and was playing it just the other day.

Ultima VII: The Black Gate

It seems I can't type tonight.

In any case, for a an industry that is (arguably) only about 40, yet is projected to make more than Hollywood box office sales this year, an industry that is rapidly becoming the biggest entertainment industry in the world, I don't think it's fair to…

You personally are not a cancer on the industry. And aside from Internet forum/comment thread antics, I highly doubt anyone truly believes this to be the case.

However, between predicted reader responses and the condescending tone (admittedly that may be accidental) used to explain elementary market mechanics to what…

I immediately thought of this scene. Darkest moment in the show. And f-ing hilarious.

I approve this message.
