So are we, like, as a society, supposed to think that Mae Whitman is some kind of hideous gargoyle? It seems like that's a joke that she hasn't really been able to shake. I'm pretty sure when Arrested Development was doing it they were joking, but I think this film is trying to play that joke totally straight? I guess…

Part time paid gig at least. I've been a contributor since last June or so, and it's everything I've ever dreamed of. Where've you been, anyway? I feel like we haven't seen you around in a while. How's the new job?

When all that kerfuffle about allowing one of my inner circle to become Divine started kicking off, my original plan was to remain neutral, because a) I didn't want to endorse one of my people and lose them from the Inquisition, and b) I was playing a Chantry-critical, mage sympathizing atheist Inquisitor, who didn't…

If they had MMOs in Middle-Earth that is exactly what actual hobbits would do in them.

FUN FACT: This comment is longer than any of the actual articles I have had published at this site.

Allow me to ramble off your rambles.

Whoa now friend, that elf girl is my make-believe video game girlfriend.

Yeah, I can see that. It had to be either Iron Bull or Cassandra.

Yeah, I could see pushing through for another few hours and reaching the good stuff, and eventually enjoying it as much as I genuinely enjoy ME3's multiplayer (it was developed by the same team, apparently), but a) I've got enough in my backlog already, and, more importantly, b) I don't want to pay for PS+, since I…

Even through all the role-playing, demon hunting, headquarters decorating, armour crafting, and Sera necking, dragon fighting was still one of my absolute favourite things to do in Inquisition. Even if, as I found out the other day, it didn't give me a trophy for killing all ten, like it's supposed to. Oh well, it's…

I really loved the Winter Palace mission. It was stressful as hell, but a lot of fun. It really did give you the impression that the glad-handing and politicking can be just as tense and dangerous as slaying demons or fighting dragons. I managed to resolve it without a boss fight or a summary execution, which I was…

Hello all you flawless gems, every one of you is perfect just the way you are. This weekend I will be playing nothing, for two reasons. The first is that I'm hosting a buddy of mine from Montréal this weekend so that isn't going to leave me much time for massive single player RPGs. The second is that last weekend,…

Neat! I've done some writing myself on one of Ice-Pick Lodge's other games, The Void (Link, Link, Link, hooray shameless self-pimping,) but I've never played Pathologic. I'm pretty excited for the Kickstarter-fueled remake they've got in the pipe right now, even if the game itself is a little more… brutal than I'm…

Allow me to join you in freaking out:

My eyes turned into little hearts the instant Sera stepped on screen, and they never turned back. I think she might be my favourite too, maybe tied for first with Mordin.

Any time I'm given purely cosmetic customization options, I always tinker with them for much longer than is necessary or healthy. I pour hours into character creation screens ensuring that my characters are exactly to my specifications (although I draw the line at restarting a game if they look crummy in motion.) If…

*kicks down tavern door, violently sings*

(Psst… Mako confirmed to return for Mass Effect 4… pics, vid.)

I always find playing games on a PC, even games that are clearly designed for it, to be much more difficult than playing on a console (with the sole exception of RTS games, since controllers have yet to satisfyingly replace mouse controls.) I think having access to an entire keyboard causes some developers to not…

Dave, you're a diamond. Not just any form of ancient carbon, the best kind.
