Which came first, the princess or the kingdom?

Okay, to be fair Destructoid's reviews are way more honest than the rest of the world of game reviews. They'll give an 8 to a great game, a 5 to a mediocre game, and a 0 to a crap game. They reserve 10 for perfection, which is extremely rare; I'm not sure if I've *ever* seen it from them. This is how reviews SHOULD…

And yet it manages to hold a sunny, happy, fun tone about 98% of the time, despite all this going on in the layers below. Amazing.

I really, really want more episodes about Simon and the war. As much fun as the wacky stuff can be (and last night's episode was amazing, the horror movie nods in the lemon creatures were hilarious), I find the way this series rations out little morsels of its backstory rather than letting it all hang out to be SO…

Whoa. Nope, never noticed! Thanks for this.

Hearted for that.

That's unusual - if a game has mixed reviews, you can almost guarantee Destructoid will be one of the lowest.

I have to assume you're just not paying much attention to what's going on in indie games, because some of the "hardcore only" titles of the last generation like I Wanna Be The Guy and Super Meat Boy are leaps and bounds harder than the toughest the 8-bit era had to offer. I beat Battletoads back in the day and made it…

These threads always end up with a lot of shade thrown at Gameloft, calling them "ripoff artists," but I always insist they are the "cover band" of game companies. They exist solely to bring entertainment penned by other artists to a medium in which it would otherwise be unavailable (Gameloft: iOS. Cover band: Bar in…

Oh MAN was I disappointed when I read this was a one-off custom job. I would buy the CRAP out of this case were it mass-produced.

It's the dialogue; it's so very ironically self-aware, like two Wes Anderson movie characters sitting in their Oberlin dorms sexting each other on their iPhones with Lena Dunham's "Girls" playing in the background.

Yeah, alright, I'll relent on this. I just bummed hard on that line, because it totally changes the claim made in the title of the article; should have added "... Sort Of" or "On Paper." What it really means is that the rule will NOT change for probably 95% of troops. It's a small step for manlove, not a giant leap…

"The new policy, which will be voted on by the national board next week, will leave the decision of allowing gay members up to local Scout governing boards. "

I approve.

I get the ambiguity; I said "setting aside" because I was interested in discussing the mechanics of surveillance in Germany rather than tackling the vandalism head-on, which has been done in other threads on this article.

Correction: The "there" in my second sentence is supposed to refer to Germany. I'm not calling EU a country. :)

Totally setting aside the moral issue of vandalism, can someone familiar with EU explain this? Is the issue of government surveillance and "big-brothering" much worse there than in other countries? As an American I can't really relate to this; other than traffic cams and surveillance around government buildings, I…

SHADOWX!

Don't get me wrong, Gameloft's games are well-crafted, high-production, and very fun to play. It's just that they are basically the "cover band" of game companies. When I say they have no original ideas, I'm not saying that as an insult; it is literally true. Their entire library reads like an alternate-titled list of…
