Okay, seriously. What in the actual fuck, folks?

I teach English at the college level; last year, I was privileged to teach ENG 230, which at my institution is a rotating (through the faculty) course that is generously labeled "Special Topics in Literature."

I taught my course, for two semesters, as "Gaming: Literary…

It's a game with an ESRB rating of M, which means it's aimed at mature audiences, AiSmash. Whereas there have only been two Zelda games rated higher than E10, Twilight Princess and Link's Crossbow Training. I do not need to ask them. Bayonetta is also not part of a beloved long-running franchise that's closely…

Can't fathom their "bespoke" section.

I think this whole "be careful what you Kickstart" thing is actually par for the course. A lot of people don't realize behind the scenes, projects can go on for months and have hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on it only to see it flop. That's normal for a large corporation, to invest in new concepts and…

Falcon is one of the first black superheroes to rise to prominence in comics. He had his own identity, his own history, and more importantly was his own hero. By making him the new Captain America they are negating that. They are overshadowing his accomplishments as a original black hero. Now in pop culture he just…

I'd just like to undermine one thing here— An incredibly negligeable amount of rape accusations are false, researchers put the number between 1.5 percent and 8 percent, while the United States justice department puts it at just two percent. That's for both accusations false or unfounded.

Let that sink in for a…

If his concern wasn't for the public, then why is he addressing the public in a blog post?

Yes, my entire point is that he didn't try to start that conversation. For us as the public, that's the only useful thing he could have done, considering he can't prove to anyone what happened either way (nor can she).

A few random things I remember about Lufia II:

Lufia II is also smart in how it makes movement matter—enemy encounters are displayed on screen, but those monsters will only move when you move, in a mechanic reminiscent of the original Rogue. (There's even a 100-floor dungeon called Ancient Cave that offers procedural, Rogue-like dungeon-crawling.) Different…

Isn't it neat how every character has their own little "voice" that takes the form of different "beep" octaves when they talk?

Thank you for making a post on my favourite SNES era RPG. It really is a wonderful and interesting game that I feel almost no one knows about. While the story may be straight forward the interesting and very innovative (for its time) gameplay kept me hooked all the way through to the end.

if I understand the issue correctly, Mojang's real mistake wasn't to enforce these rules, but they were foolish to do so on such an abrupt note. Had they taken a few months to issue warnings, look at a handful of large servers and decide the validity of their business models on a case by case basis, and perhaps offer…

I have very mixed feelings about this. On one hand, it does weed out some of the shady practices going on even on the most popular servers, ie Hypixel and Hive and all that. However it does effect some of my favorite servers, the one I'm most upset about is Playmindcrack. PMC is the official mini-game server of…

So we're not going to focus on Sony promising things and not coming through on them, right? How long until someone throws up a strawman about "but the XBone blah blah blah"? Can we all be adults for a moment and admit that the console wars are inherently flawed, and that corporations don't personally care about us and…

It's fine, the water comes out it's mouth for some stupid reason :/

Not sure if putting your kid in high-power water jet that could split steel and tungsten in half is a good idea because it reeks of an accident waiting to happen. I think someone should maybe call the local Poke Child Protective Service Agency.
