I'm an old school fan and I loved it, so I'm with you on that one.

This article neatly sums up why Metal Gear resonates with me so well. I love the fact that it will switch from tackling important real world issues in a way most games wish they could, to wacky japanese humor at the drop of a hat, and sometimes within the same scene. Game play wise, it always seems like Kojima is…

Saints Row IV was a better Crackdown 2 than Crackdown 2 by a mile.

If it's good, yes. Crackdown 2 was a terrible game, but I will safely say that playing the original game co-op with friends ate up many many hours of my time.

Do you want to play Lucky Hit? IN GLORIOUS 1080P!

Watch out for snakes.

He puts on one great live show, too!

Some pop culture dealmakers of mine…
Silver Age Marvel.
Fans of Metal Gear Solid 2.
Asian Cinema (especially Kaiju movies and Takashi Miike movies).
Lovers of practical effects.

Are they going to fix the horrible mess of a UI that's frustating to navigate now that new users aren't going to be able to talk their way through it (after they repeat the commands 4 times, of course)?

A lot of games shamelessly attempt to imitate it in hopes of gaining some of the audience from it, and it never ever works. The FPS genre as a whole almost never seems to deviate from its blueprint, and single player campaigns take a back seat more and more often. It just turns me off in so many ways.

Call of Duty. It's not going to stop me from being friends with anyone, but I can't stand Call of Duty games, and inevitably when people find out that I love video games with a passion, it always comes up. No, I didn't want to buy last year's game because they added a dog, and I'm not going to buy this year's game…

True Story - I loved Monster Party when I was a kid. Then I finished the game, and the ending, which (spoiler alert, if you really care) your alien friend, who's planet you just saved, gives you a magic princess as a gift. The princess rots into a zombie princess, and unleashes a zombie hoard in your house, causing…

Someone on my Twitter feed pointed out that Michael Bay's Turtles look eerily like the Goombas from Super Mario Bros: The Movie. You're in swell company, Mr. Bay.

I agree; while I think it's a huge creative misstep, it's not going to ruin my day.

Oh, by no means does it negate it. People with awful opinions and unreasonable hatred of people different from them exist on all levels of society, rich and poor. However, I really don't buy that Nick Cannon is doing this as some sort of metacommentary of systemic racism that he's been experiencing. It simply comes…

He's not pretending to be poor, no, but he's hardly coming from at oppressed viewpoint at this stage in his life. I would argue that as a highly paid entertainer who hosts a popular television show on network televsion that he's in the privledged position, and mocking a good chunk of his fanbase with this "Connor…

Sure, but I hardly think Nick Cannon is punching up, seeing as he has a supposed net worth of $25 million (thanks to a handy Google search)!

Personally I think punching anyone is kind of shitty, even methaphorically.

Sad day. Gwar was probably the first rebellious thing I got into as a teen. I remember walking several miles to my local record store (Strawberry's, when that was still a thing) and buying This Toilet Earth so my parents' wouldn't know I had it. I think they'd be as thrilled about B.D.F. as Warner Bros Records was.

Sounds like you should stop knowing him if possible.
