What do you reckon the odds are of a controllable dog scene which culminates in the dog dying? Say... a building collapses and you control the dog to dig up the main character and his squad-mates before they're crushed, only for the dog to be shot, or stabbed in the face by the game's villain (or something equally…

Four Candles?

Xbox One is a terrible name if you ask me... how do you abbreviate that for everyday use?
Playstation rolls off the tongue easy enough. Playstation 2 becomes PS2, Playstation 3 becomes PS3, Playstation 4 becomes PS4. Easy, simple, effective.
Xbox, again rolls off the tongue easy enough, Xbox 360 becomes 360, XboxOne…

Exactly my thoughts. I think the next generation of consoles may well be the last because I don't see how they can compete with the PC market now that gaming PCs are becoming more affordable, and ever more capable.

I envisage a future where Sony / Microsoft produce gaming operating systems (of sorts) rather than …

Behold, Sony has given up on it's boring black-finish uniform look in favour of a far more delightful polkadot motif!
Guaranteed to match your mother's old curtains to really tie the room together!

Yeah, that windows button has been ripped out of both of my Windows laptops.
It's such a stupid placement... if it lay at the top of the keyboard, out of the way of regular function buttons, then it might be more useful.
I believe it was Diablo 2 that finally made me rip the key out in a fit of rage. haven't looked back.

I saw Jim Carrey...

Man. There's a dissonance here.
They make their marketing appear sexy and stuff, yet the font used in the name looks like it reads "Wart-line" which is most certainly NOT sexy.

Unless you're into that kind of thing. :/

No hot single could ever resist our 1,000,000th visitor, you stud you!

I'm twelve, and what is this?

No, I do get it, and I'm completely ok with all of those designs. They're stylistic choices.

What I'm saying, again to play devils advocate, is that representations of men as muscular power fantasies or as sexualised exaggerations are just as much of an emotionally exploitative trope as sexualised female characters, if…

It's the Dick Dastardly approach, and it's kind of wonderful...

Tough break.

Reversal of gender roles you say?
Allow me to refer you to the Hawkeye initiative!

Hell, I am about 6 foot and not terrible looking by any standard, but my lack of broze tan, rippling biceps and a mountainous sixpack does make me ashamed to go to the beach. My inability to grow rugged stubble is a constant source of shame.
I'll never look like Robert Downey Jr, Brad Pitt, Nathan Drake, Solid Snake or…

Exactly. This guy gets it.

Heh, as though male power fantasies are any less destructive.
Enforcing unrealistic standards that make people insecure about their looks ftw!

Just to play devils advocate, why is this ok when the dragon's crown sexualisation is not?
Great .gif though :P

I'd be more concerned about friends sneaking up on me whilst I'm using the rift on something creepy like Amnesia, and shaking me from behind. man. Something like that might just empty my bowels.
