So I'm a Canadian, and (as canadians tend to annoyingly brag about) I enjoy the hell out of goverment health insurance, and I accept that my taxes are going to be higher for it. I've read a bit about the ACA and from what I understand, it's a law that says you've got to have health insurance, and that insurance…

I actually was entirely fine with using the word female to refer to women, and thought that it was just nitpicky. The 1 and 5 points actually convinced me otherwise, though. The adjective/noun thing had never occurred to me before.

I get your argument, but I think it's a bit flawed. The idea that a strip club re-encofces the idea of women being a sexual object of desire is a bit of a chicken/egg argument. Strip clubs exist because they already have a clientele base (the majority of which being straight men) who are willing to go there and see…

you had kids when you were 21?

This article now ends up becoming a weird type of performance art in itself. Any guy who reads this now gets the sickening experience of reading a thousand unsympathetic people who make comments like "he was asking for it" or "it probably didn't happen".

Captain Toad: Toad Tracker confirmed for the first videogame ever featuring agender protagonists.

I actually would like to try one of these. I imagine It'd be like putting cranberry sauce on a hamburger, which sounds like it could be good.

I enjoyed gone home for what it was, and I wouldn't go as far to call it "not a game" but I actually don't think it was a very good game. I thought it had some serious issues in how it was written that seem to be glossed over because games media is overly sensational and starving for something with a more human story.…

While I'm sure that this particular poutine tastes awful, you guys are seriously missing out if you've never had poutine with ground beef on it. Or bacon, or peppers, or pulled pork. You can just infinitely add cool things to poutine and it makes it even better.

I remember not liking this game as a kid because of the limited time, and having to repeat things all the time. I've actually been playing the game pretty often recently, and the timer doesn't bother me near as much. I think more videogame experience has made me less concerned about timers, because I'm aware how much…

I'm actually fine with Microsoft's apathy towards japan because that means no more xbox exclusive jrpgs.

So, movies are moving toward an increasing amount of greenscreen settings and tucked away cgi, while the potential "future" of videogames is accomplished by using real world locations.

The controls feel very wrong on the DS - Trust me. The pad is imprecise, they don't let you use the D-Pad for movement, and the default controls (locked in the demo) actually ruined the demo for me.

someone say Dragon Warrior?

Granted, the future of japanese console RPGS was "dependent" on Final Fantasy 13. When you look at the major JRPG releases, most stuff seems to be happening on handheld now. Atelier games keep getting pumped out, and Atlus will probably push Persona 5, but I still miss the Square Enix ps1 excess (combined with a…

But at no point in this entire level did Run D.M.C's Tricky start playing.

So is this game just filled with placeholder graphics right now or what, because I really hate to see "indie games" which have 60% of their art ripped from rpg maker tilesets. Apart from the generic and cheap appearance that it gives off, it also is going to prejudice a lot of people who're going to give it a glance…

I remember when these games had just come out, it was like a rite of passage to learn about the glitch that allows you to duplicate items. Your older brother would learn it from his friends, then you'd learn it from your brother and then you'd show your friends, who'd show their brothers and the cycle would continue.

To the people who disagree with this guy's rant and say customers are still entitled to support:

it's not for everyone, but I actually play the two shenmue games almost once per year. I enjoy the crap out of them for what they are, and I still think that no game has built worlds quite like shenmue did.
