It's the perennial nerds' dilemma - we want our selves and our hobbies to be respected and inclusive, but for some reason we think only serious things should be respected so we strip all the fun from our once-fun hobbies and then complain that our hobby has A)lost its fun and B)is filled with too many non-nerds. …

Oh god, they're breeding!

I came for the Dads apologia, but I stayed for the art! Seriously, Mr. Mull has some chops - check out some of his stuff here. His stuff is so photorealistic I originally thought he was working in collage.

I'm not sure how else to integrate the assists. I like keeping the stat because I feel like it recognizes that good comments come from good conversations but when I kept them separately they never got mentioned. I also think that by increasing the number of studs that get handed out we might see some volatility in…

I'd love to play Red Dead:Redemption with Ezio Auditore as the protagonist. John Marston never did it for me - no joy, no charm, no panache.

What new, embarassing achievements will the XBox One unlock for us? An achievement for shotgunning the complete Keeping Up With The Kardashians in a single sitting? A synergy achievement, for buying a moustache straightener you saw Nick Offerman wear? An endurance achievement, for sitting through a whole Rob…

The newswires are going to be hard to beat for most-commented article, and I'm sure they'll be the source of most of our top 5 most-liked comments too. All in all though, I think Level 2 is going well.

Yup, I love it! Super speed, then a super jump, then start to ragdoll at the top of your arch and you go cartwheeling down whole city blocks. My wife had to leave the room when I was doing it because of the sound effects. Meanwhile, I'm cackling my head off.

I'm still playing Saints Row 4 and loving every irreverent second of it. I love the joking on Mass Effect, I love the goofy-ass special weapons, and I love the creepy glitch enemies that have been popping up more and more as the matrix destabilizes. The leveling is well-paced, the cash (or cache) influx is just the…

Pssh, I was burning myself on flaming alcoholic drinks in Dumbass High School, thank you very much.

I just need to say 2 things: XrossMediaBar is the ugliest, clunkiest portmanteau I've ever seen, and a controller with no 'Select' button seems heretical.

@Carlton_Hungus:disqus covered most of my concerns with projects like this; the only thing I'll add is that the main consequence of limiting your audience is that you're limiting the cultural impact of your work. I'm not saying that should necessarily be a concern for creators, but if your goal is to have an impact,…

I find myself agreeing with @Juan_Carlo:disqus and @Carlton_Hungus:disqus - I'm having trouble fully comprehending the desire to develop on an outdated system. I can understand doing it for training/learning purposes, and I suppose I understand the hobbyist's passion for a particular system, and sometimes you're just…

For me it was always "Houdini Blues" - such a melancholy song.

Yeah, but that's just to establish the sequel, Romeo & Juliet Of Mars.

I have to side with @avclub-93e06678bf43969ed7f3b3377605aa8c:disqus - Magician's Nephew had some real unexplored potential, hinting at a much more complex multiverse than the simple Narnia-as-God's Country allegory of the rest of the series.  I always felt like C.S. Lewis' writing was hampered by his religiosity; the…

*shudders*

Please tell me 'clopping' is something you just made up, and not actually the accepted vernacular of that community.

I wonder what sort of pop-up ads you're going to get from having that in your search history?  I can only imagine the horror you've likely invited upon yourself.

"Now I'm off to some charity BS for knocked-up teenage sluts!"
