The Stand Desk is another full-desk replacement that's easy to set up (assembles in less than an hour), comes with multiple motorized raise/lower control options, multiple finishes, and optional cable management trays. It's a simple, minimal desk, designed to be affordable and effective (supporting up to 225lb.) The…

I wouldn't call it shark jumpy, per se. This is Mortal Kombat we're talking about, and ridiculousness has always been core to the concept. But it's definitely a bit much. I hesitate to call them a mis-step, but they're close. It's a sour note in an otherwise great melody.

That's the problem, I think - there's an amount of suspension of disbelief you do in all fighting games. In all games period, really. We see Scorpion put a kunai through somebody's chest and yank them over on a chain and we don't really ask why there's no wound in the chest or where Scorpion was hiding the chain or…

First, I'm more excited about this game than any MK since I was a child. MK9's story mode was so damned fun that I can't wait to dig into a new one.

Maybe this was why the game felt so bland to me. The character has to simultaneously be himself and yet open to what I want to do. He can't have too strong a personality, or there's no room for me to make decisions - but he's still Geralt and not whoever I want to make, so he can't be open enough to become whatever…

I felt the same way. There is such overwhelming critical and consumer love of Witcher 2, and when I finally got the Enhanced Edition and played it through... I was kinda bored. It played well enough (with the exception of the insane difficulty spike on the last boss) but the story was mostly bland, the characters…

To pull a prank like this? The balls on this guy...

While I don't agree that your future is solely dependent on money (having a parent who makes time and gives a shit is worth way more), it does an interesting job of commenting on class divisions in Japan—and beyond.

I'm trying not to cry, now. Thinking about my sister off in space somewhere, having adventures in some surely hodge-podge cruiser of her own design, and wishing I'd have backed the Kickstarter at that level just to have the chance to run into her out there. It's a beautiful story, and thanks for sharing. I wouldn't…

Hey, there are a lot of non-health reasons to be against GMOs. Companies shouldn't be able to patent living things, and some seriously aggressive, evil shit is being done to use GMOs to take over modern agriculture. Then there's the dangers of mass monocultures, the potential hazards of which are huge and sweeping. I…

Now, to spend the next four weeks trying to envision the context in which a Dragon Age: Inquisition character says, "I will bring myself sexual pleasure later, while thinking about this with great respect."

Construx were awesome. You know why? The cockpits were perfectly to scale with GIJoes. I could buy armfuls of old GIJoes for nickels a piece at yard sales, get some Construx sets on the cheap (because they weren't Lego) and have full playsets and vehicles for any setting I imagined. I would wish them for any child,…

You would be surprised. I have a dA page, I'm a pro artist at conventions so people come to me for commissions of stuff, I get around art communities online to see what's current, that sort of stuff, and virtually every Sonic thing I've seen has had furry connotations. You can imagine, then, my difficulty in taking…

Yes. What little of Sonic I've seen outside the games, barring the horrible animation, has always been fanficcy quasi-porn stuff from the furry types. None of the out-and-out pornographic variety, mind, but the skeevy "these people want to see these hedgehogs do things to each other" kind. Close enough to creep me out.

I wish it weren't so, truly, but at this point the only thing I can think of when I see anything Sonic related (that isn't a literal video game, and even then...) is the disturbing amount of furry porn out there with this poor bastard. That fandom has pretty much ruined this whole character's universe for me. Not that…

I've actually stopped watching The Walking Dead, because I couldn't stand the constant despair.

My dream is that we can reach a point in the near future where graphics have become so spectacular, and amazing graphics so commonplace and (relatively) inexpensive, that people stop caring so blasted much about graphics and dpi and framerates and all those distractions and start focusing on story. While this demo is…

What's that supposed to mean? I'm not making any value judgements - some people have more free time, some have less. Some have more time for gaming, others don't. I can't imagine why you'd take that as some sort of self-aggrandizement.

I remember being in high school, being done with school, after-school stuff, and homework, and it's only 5:00 and I've got all night and nothing to do but play. I logged hundreds of hours into FF6, Baldur's Gate, Warcraft, Starcraft, Fallout 2, Arcanum, Diablo...

I would love to see an article where an expert actually explains the specific work that goes into preparing games for specific systems. Because the PR guys always use the complexity of porting to different systems as an excuse for why things aren't happening (frequently with regards to bringing console stuff to PC)…
