Whenever I see action figures like this, my brain creates a cheesy kid-targeting action figure commercial to go with them.

Overly-Enthusiastic Kid: "WATCH OUT FOR WALKERS!"
(Rick action figure knocks Zombie figure into a conveniently placed stack of plastic blocks)
Overly-Enthusiastic Kid: "YEEAAHH!!!"

When people complain about politics in their media, they are most likely whining about political narratives that they disagree with.

Every story is somewhat political. Politics is more than U.S political parties or a conservative/liberal dichotomy. Politics is about power, resources, and privilege in a given social…

I'm glad they made a least one protagonist more psychotic and crazy. There was always a sense of disconnect between gameplay and narrative in GTA IV. In the cutscenes, Niko was portrayed as the down-on-his-luck foreigner who only resorts to crime to get by. After the cutscene ended, however, you could walk down the…

For those who just don't get it: The actual context of this speech is that Obama is talking about the sign-up issues and glitches that were occurring with the rollout of the online insurance exchanges that are part of the health care law.

However, edit out a few specific lines, and you can easily apply this speech to…

Wait...the series ended? I just assumed that it was just the season's end. You're telling me they're just going to end the series without telling me what the living fuck was in that basement or why a titan was just chilling inside the crumbling wall?

The scarring on Aaron Paul's character's face in the NFS is located pretty close to where we saw Jesse get his face screwed up in the show.

So, my interpretation of the comic is that the current nature of the video game medium presents roadblocks to an invested experience. There is always a screen between the player and the characters/action on screen. No matter how vivid or life-like the visuals may be, there is always a disconnection. Which is why the…

Well, Link and Darth Vader both have guest appearances in the Soul Calibur games, so the fight wouldn't be that much of a stretch as far as vidja games go.

"Compassion...fear...instinct...they will always interfere with The System!"

Maybe I'm giving this movie too much credit, but I feel that "the system" could be interpreted in more ways than one.

Two times. This, and that first trailer for G.I. Joe: Retaliation. Are there any uses that I missed?

Apart from alot of diplomatic arm-twisting, and some general snoopery, have they been really doing THAT MUCH to silence Snowden and Assange?

Time is on their side, after all. The Internet Outrage Machine has a severe case of ADD, and will eventually forget about U.S. surveillance until ANOTHER leaker throws themself…

Personally, I'm not ready to believe any self-proclaimed female geek is for real unless they are able to produce their Long Form Geek Certificate.

Just think about it: How do we really know that so-called geek girls aren't secret Arab Muslims trying to covertly destroy the geeky way of life from the inside?

Glad to see a Bioshock trailer sans the "STAND TALL FAR DA PEEPLE OF AAMERRICAA!!" song. Not that the song is bad, but I work retail at a Target store and that Bioshock Infinite trailer is part of the trailer-loop that's in the Video Games area.

Also, that trailer for Black Ops II:

NONE OF THIS SURPRISES ME

YOU BUILD…

His focus is primarily horror games, and it's fun to watch someone else freak out and lose their shit when the "jump scares" go down.

Be warned: he occasionally tries "funny" voices, makes jokes that misfire, and so on. I'd never give the guy a job as a comedian, but he manages to keep things amusing most of the time.…

I'm a subscriber. I watch his stuff along with a few other Let's Play-type channels.
Of all the things I'd expect to enjoy on YouTube, "watching some Swedish guy play video games" isn't something I'd expect to be among them. I never realized he was that popular until this article popped up. Well played, PewDiePie, sir.
