I don't want to accuse this of being a blatant scam... but people have accused far more legitimate things of being scams ;)

Gamers aren't very nice people? I agree! I hate all gamers! Especially myself. Based on this article, it seems Puppy Games outdoes even me when it comes to self-loathing.

Sounds like you're being a little oversensitive. People getting potentially penalized at their office because some random gif comes up in the comment section is significantly more important than your (almost certainly not) clever image posts.

In a world where Buddy Complex and Valvrave exist, you are being a little silly. Aldnoah deploys mecha tropes very consciously in order to subvert expectations. Thus far, it's quite good, though it could certainly fall apart like Gargantia did.

Ping Pong: The Animation is far from being your normal sports anime. Rather, it is an insightful coming-of-age tale of four high schoolers and how the sport shapes their lives.

The fact remains, something I don't think that you can dispute, is that a primary purpose of an AMA is to generate positive PR. Some of that positive PR comes from the, as you say, supposedly candid form the AMA takes. Comments like this are the deviation from PR speak AMAs are supposed to generate and the reason why…

Then Twitch's (obviously nonexistent) PR department should be the one fielding questions. This is a PR stunt, it's not unreasonable to expect the CEO to act with a bit of tact.

Calling it "typical" doesn't make it appropriate or smart, especially considering some of the internal issues the fighting game community deals with. Shear's quick edit certainly bolsters the contention that the initial comment was inappropriate.

I would actually be pretty interested in buying this. Though, I'm a little confused how the single screen play would work... that's obviously beside the point. A shipped product wouldn't need single screen play if it worked with, say, iPhones, TVs, and computer monitors.

Seriously. I'm sure the player has some great friends he's fostered over the course of this experience. I imagine it is playing with those friends that made the process bearable.

I hope all the loudmouth idiots who always come out of the woodwork in the comments section of articles like these don't trick you, or any journalist, into believing that these are articles people don't want to read and don't find important. A huge segment of the gaming community is extremely gratified to see pieces…

Honestly, don't these "THIS ISN'T GAMING RELATED!!!!" posts get old? To the people who constantly make them, that is? People who play video games also do... other things.

I love how this rebuttal recognizes the inanity of pieces like this. This is certainly fallacious, but I'm really turned off by the polemics of the author of this piece and many overzealous commentors. Collins is quite right to acknowledge the monumentally small possibility that 11 could have been faked. It seems to…

Chess has acquired a high reputation as being a means to discipline the mind, because it requires a strong memory and peculiar powers of combination. It is also generally believed that skill in playing it affords evidence of a superior intellect. These opinions, we believe, are exceedingly erroneous. Napoleon the…

I think the animation quality of MSG is excellent both for its time and today. I look at something like MSG as one looks at the "stylized" graphics of Nintendo's Wii titles. They were able to stack up against "technologically superior" games graphically because they had a unique style. Looking at the vividness of the…

The viewpoing that "UC stuff has not aged well at all" is unsurprising considering Eisenbeis view on Cowboy Bebop. The original Mobile Suit Gundam has served as a successful entry point for many of my anime-agnostic friends. Furthermore, Seed barely scratches the surface of MSG, let alone the Universal Century as a…

Seriously, it's one thing to dislike a game that actually functions. There are games on this list that barely even qualify to be referred to as such. They're so mechanically flawed they must be some sort of sadistic torture machine. Godai is definitely one of those "avant-garde" titles, beyond enjoyment... channeling…

Stake: Fortune Fighters

Cosign. Game was garbage. I can't believe how horrendous it was.

I was really young when I played this game, but I remember having fun with it. I played it with my dad over a weekend, it was a rental. Nothing but fond memories, however filtered by youth they may be.
