By far the most exciting news in the post.

It is part of the game, but I do it just to make the game interesting again. If someone self desctructs, the game is practically a foregone conclusion. That's not fun for me or my opponent. If you kill yourself too, the outcome of the match is up in the air again. Makes things more interesting.

Again, you're under estimating how good mmo players have gotten at these games. Most good raid guilds could do exactly what you're saying would make the game fun. I'm not an active raider any more, but my current guild would have no trouble whatsoever pulling a boss and figuring out its mechanics on the fly. I'd…

Heres the part you're missing though. The over all skill level of the mmo community has increased immensely since the days of early wow raiding. So while it is fun to go into a fight and learn the mechanics blind, if an encounter were forgiving enough to do that it would be trivial for modern raid guilds. They…

Have you played Marvel Heroes in the past six months or so? It's improved IMMENSELY since launch. Way more heroes and way more interesting loot.

Legend of the Cryptids was an awful game, but I'll be damned if it didn't have some gorgeous art.

I wonder what this is like from the modelers point of view? Did they want to finish their glorious nude creations but were forbidden because the managers were afraid to have genitals modeled on disk? Were they bitter to have their creativity stifled by the man? Or were they relieved to get out of the work cause…

I have no problem at all with BDSM, but I'm pretty sure that dude's spine just broke. Several times.

That completely blew my mind, that article was hard to read. The Greek system is toxic and needs to go.

Me: With Smash coming out I'm going to try and get a good deal on a Wii U this Black Friday.

Blizzard was having issues allowing people to play the game that they have payed to play. As a form of consumer advocacy and protest, the subreddit was taken offline as a way to send a message to Blizzard that this wasn't acceptable. The idea is simple: if one has no faith in a product, one of the simplest ways to…

We got to play with one of these in True Dungeon (think real life d&d with elaborately constructed puzzles and actors playing the monsters) at Gencon this year. Ours had been modified to somehow detect when someone had been "cut" by a dagger to project blood falling onto the sand. It was ludicrously cool.

Not only can you take screenshots, as you can in the 3DS version, you'll be able to draw on them with the GamePad! Rad. Eventually you'll be able to share them online, too.

I played it for a little while, but it felt like I was going to have to play a lot to get to the point that the game gets good.

Also, starting yesterday players of the superheroic puzzle RPG can begin earning her as an end of Season VII reward.*

You say that as if the game needs marketing beyond the title "Super Smash Bros"

You might be right. How does this excuse the hardware not being engineered to take the high level of stress that many users clearly subject it to? It's not like people are throwing their machines on the floor, they're just moving the stick.

I was also surprised at the lack of outrage. I guess Jez has given up on expecting Ryan Murphy to change and is just along for the ride. People also probably don't want to acknowledge that Evan Peters was part of a gang rape :p

Semi related, did the Magicant level in smash make anyone else indescribably happy? The first time I played it and the classic Earthbound scenes started coming up I must have been grinning like an idiot, cause my wife asked me what I was smiling at.
