Why would I pay for roms? In my opinion, you have it backwards.

You know what the best part is about switching from iOS to Android, as I did recently? The inexpensive and easy-to-install emulators. Specifically, the FPSe Playstation emulator is, like, $3 and it works surprisingly well. While the ROM file sizes are a tad large, I'd much rather replay Final Fantasy 7 & 8 (I never…

I didn't bother to read that novella about river rats or whatever. Can someone who did please summarize it for me? Thanks.

No shit, genius. But on a subliminal emotional level, what good can come of being exposed to images of people pointing guns at us all day long? I'm not saying that we can only be shown images of rainbows and flowers, but perhaps advertisers have gone overboard in attempting to get our attention with shocking imagery,…

You stole my line, Waffle. There is nothing inherently damaging about sexual imagery. Only in recent years (in the grand scheme of human existence) have we turned sex into something taboo. Violence, however, is a different story. That's been taboo forever (at least in evolved cultures).

I don't disagree, but I think we have to allow for a certain amount of leeway when we're talking about retarded 15-year-olds. They're inevitably going to say stupid things without thinking about them, just like you and I did at that age. Now, obviously, if a 30-year-old guy is playing Call of Duty and calling everyone…

I'm all for freedom of speech and I don't believe that violent video games directly cause violence in society. But maybe, as a culture, we should aspire to not have to look up at billboards of guys pointing shotguns at us. Maybe, subliminally, ads such as those for Red Dead Redemption are not particularly healthy to…

Chubby!

I was an iPhone user for four years until very recently, when AT&T's god-awful customer service pushed me into the arms of Verizon. In the process, I decided that it was time for a change in phone as well... Apple, to me, appears to have lost their direction in the absence of Steve Jobs, and I have no confidence in…

What have I said that makes you think I want to read every single one of the Hunger Games books? Aren't those for teenage girls?

I don't see any way in which having a saw blade stuffed into my wallet could possibly go wrong.

In the same way that my perception of someone dramatically changes when I find out they're religious, republican or voluntarily watch Two and a Half Men, I simply cannot respect anyone who thinks Final Fantasy XIII was a good game. How do you people look at yourself in the mirror after spending forty hours of your…

How many people have you met who have contracted rabies? Oh, zero? Wow, how terrifying.

The Greggg Easterbrook recaps are my favorite part of these posts. I'm sure it's painful, but I vote for keeping them. Get rid of the bat/cockroach stories instead. Who has the time to read some random dude's 3,000 word story about getting scared by a tiny animal that can't hurt him?

Possibility #4: One or more of the writers saw Deliverance.

Don't get your hopes up. It's really not anything too interesting.

While I agree that this sequence is frustrating, I didn't hate it nearly as much as the mission in which Conor has to fly a remote-controlled plane over Boston, taking out various targets and then landing before it runs out of gas.

Don't be silly. Killing is bad. In fact, if you killed more than ten people during the main campaign, not only did you get a much darker ending than other, less bloodthirsty players, your private contact information was sent to the FBI and put on a top secret crazy sociopath watch list. So don't try anything funny,…

Why has Patricia Hernandez seemingly written every story posted on this site today? She's my least favorite writer here, yet every time I click on a damn link, there's her name.

Ever illegally downloaded any TV shows or movies?
