Gooage Spewing Gigantic Pac-Man (official name) is the weirdest part of the upcoming toy line.

Ok, I think I'm getting it now.

I'd take Bioshock 2 over 1 any day. It had better gameplay with the ability to dual wield, levels that made trap plasmids viable...and it didn't repeat the same twist from System Shock 2. Minerva's Den was also fantastic DLC. Nothing about Bioshock 2 was especially worse, beyond the initial magic of exploring…

The criticism is largely unfounded. Which isn't any news. That's how the community works, and has worked for a long while.

Life isn't "shades of view". An idea being accepted as norm doesn't make it the truth. What we see as truth isn't a universal fact. The universe is far more objective than a lot of people think.

[Insert Diablo III criticism without any foundation or reason. Do so in an extremely witty manner, trying to appeal to some abstract crowd that will find it funny and somehow support my moronic theory. Use hyperbolae and pseudofacts to support this opinion, saying things like: "This game is just bad!" and "it's…

I didn't know Sean. My friends knew him. I flew in a blue alliance to the Goons, but I also do the same job at the Department of State that Sean did and many real life friends knew Sean as friend or boss. Thank you for the article. I'm curious how many of us State Department people may have been influenced to play…

No posts here on how patience is a virtue? I understand there are some games you just can't wait for. You've been following them for months with the intent to buy day one. I get that. If that's the case start saving for it. I'm constantly broke, but there are harder things than raising $60 bucks over the course of a…

Last i checked, i didnt buy my wii u for call of duty. I bought my wii u (and every Nintendo console ive ever owned) to play games like Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Pokemon, etc. If an interesting 3rd party title comes out on a Nintendo console, its a bonus, not the reason i bought the thing.

I once climbed up some ruins I found to look around. As I pan the camera over North, I notice a drawing on a hill. Almost like a crop pattern. It's the rudimentary drawing of a man with a spear on his hand.

Actually, if people are overly concerned with how mainstream their 'interest' has become, they would be hipsters, not nerds. And as a life-long nerd, man do I hate hipsters who try to use the same interests in an effort to set themselves apart from everyone.

No worries. I was actually trying to avoid exactly your interpretation, where some dude comes along and says "see look those industries are bad too this guy says so ergo this movie is unnecessary feminazi destructionism."

It probably could have been worded better. I'm tetchy today sorry.

Here have a thing

At least "lol boring" gave the show a shot, and if they didn't, someone being a snob about it won't incite them to give it any chances. TNG and JJ Abrams are two different beasts, anyways. A big part of what Wil was talking about was how there are so many different things for us to love. One person doesn't have to…

But it shouldn't. We should accept these newcomers with open arms. If the reaction they get is "You don't count, you haven't seen the originals," then far fewer of them will ever want to watch the originals, because it is associated with people who are dicks.

Nerds shouldn't be snobs.

I don't think I've seen a single Kickstarter where the people behind the project can cover the expenses for things like travel and accomodation.

Which is pretty much a given, because where are those expenses going to come from if not the finances given by the backers? If they can come from somewhere else, then why do…

"So, yeah I'm so done with, you know, Mario games — they're so cliche, you know. Plus I hear they're just part of this, like, huge corporation that sucks the life out of kids and stuff. Real shady shit. You know, but I can't stop rescuing Peach — it's just like part of me, who I am, you know? Of course I do more…

I was going to make a critical comment about how this blocky art style (while charming sometimes) is rapidly becoming the defacto visual choice for the majority of indie games...but it makes more sense here than anywhere else I've seen it. Giving players the tools to create their own monsters/characters/buildings/etc.…

NES $1, SNES $1.50, N64 and beyond TBD

If you had it on the Wii, you don't have to pay a dime. You can just play it on your Wii U's Wii emulator. If you want to play it on the GamePad, you pay $1.50. You're getting a new feature, so $1.50 isn't exorbitant.

"WE SHOULD HANG OUT!"
