Personally, I think it would make it better. Back in Madden 2007, the be a pro mode allowed you to call press conferences and be a jerk if you wanted. It affected the relationship with your team and others. I thought it was a cool mechanic and always wanted more. If the purpose of these modes is to make the player…

I'd buy a better Be A Pro mode game in a heartbeat. I want it to be complete with tabloid headlines and temper tantrums on the pitch.

Know what I'd like more? Friendly AI that actually plays with you as opposed to playing around you. My teammates in FIFA often pick nonsense passes while I'm making a run completely…

Know what I'm damned tired of? This manufactured divide between gamers and sports fans.

Ever been to a game where the Eagles were the away team and they won? I have. It's a miserable experience. Best moment of the game for me was hearing all the Philly fans cheer when McNabb went down injured. Classy. Basically, Eagles fans can give it out and just can't take it themselves. Garbage team, garbage…

As a longtime fan and reader of the 40k fiction, I think the perfect book to get into the fluff is Helsreach by Aaron Dembski-Bowden. It's exciting to read and eases you into the fiction, being that you require very little knowledge from outside the book to enjoy it. I'd also suggest Abnett's Eisenhorn books as an…

Happy Joe Strummer day everybody

While I'm normally a "UC or GTFO" kind of guy, Build Fighters has me intrigued. I have a break from school this week, so maybe I'll check it out.

My preferred viking metal band

I appreciate the love shown to Legend of Galactic Heroes and Robotech, but:

Fellow Carolinian here. I remember the first time I heard a white person from that area (Lumberton, specifically) use "Lumbee" the same way they'd use a slur. I have friends who are Lumbee and I just remember seeing red when she used it as a derogatory term.

I call shenanigans. Isn't it a little early for it to be a "Greatest Hit"?

Bad story-wise. The gameplay didn't help things. Too much of the campaign was spent securing an area and fighting waves of enemies. It's lazy writing.

When I say it doesn't matter at all to the plot, I mean the level itself. It can all be explained by handwaving and cutscenes. I finished the game, but don't pretend the campaign was great. It was pretty bad, especially considering World at War's great campaign.

This level never had to be in the game, as evidenced…

Ah man sorry to hear that about you and Ninja Gaiden. I can sympathize with getting stuck on a boss, but it's worth beating him and going on. His weakness is wall combos.

I was actually willing to try and play it for the sake of story. It may have been tasteless, but I'm willing to meet them halfway to advance the story.

Too bad it doesn't matter at all to the plot. Totally just there for shock value. It's also slow and tedious.

I promise, even if it's not your cup of tea, this single scene is worth watching the whole movie. In my opinion, Roy's monologue is the best delivered line ever in a film.

Owen looks like a generic corporate kid-hating villain from a 90s movie in this pic.

Let me help you Blizzard. Stop all this globe-trotting, outdoor environments bs. Just make a catacomb/tomb/sewer/hellpit that goes down 50 levels and is actually different every time. This can be accomplished with randomly generated, interchangeable dungeon tiles, much like you see tabletop gamers using. Suddenly,…

Kampfer is a sexy machine. It's probably my favorite model in my collection behind the classic Red Zaku II.

UC or nothing. I personally collect Zeonic suits above all else, and the quickest way to my wallet is to make any kit in Red Comet colors.
