Toddlers and Dark Souls? You can't have enough of that!

My now 1 year old son (happy birthday yesterday) played a game of Killzone multi-player and got his first kill with a suicide grenade. Not bad for his 3rd time playing. Best part was when he threw the grenade by pressing the button with his mouth. This is what happens when I leave my controller in reach. I tried to… Read more

This World of Warcraft challenge mode speedrun:

It's not an action scene, but it's still easily one of the coolest/funniest things I've seen in a while. It's from Borderlands the Pre-Sequal, but it's at the first 10-20min point, so it's not that spoiler-ish. Like, at all.

Coolest thing I have seen recently was Control on Destiny (xbox 360), my entire team of randoms working in unison with no communication, capturing zones, getting kills, only to be instantly wiped out by an opposing team Bladedancer super and losing the match by a thousand points. Read more

I've gotten Thralls confused about the same thing, given the right terrain:

They are shooting at the dead guy. Since the sitting guy isn't attacking, nothing is aggroing the AI. The bug is that sitting down seems to make them not try to target you over shooting a dead person. Read more

Whoever built those levels (the teams at Bungie responsible) probably have the AI targeting a parent object for the player. The placement of the parent object wouldn't necessarily change because your sitting. Easy enough mistake to make and also easy to fix. It'll probably be addressed in the next patch. Read more

I was in the bank the other day, and a guy in a mask came in, waving a gun, and yelled, "Everybody down!" And I said, "Buddy, you have no idea the mistake you've just made." Read more

No, it's the sense of entitlement that comes from expecting others to do all the heavy lifting for independent research, verification and critical analysis required for a topic they supposedly care about enough to write a long comment on it on a website comments thread, when the facts are readily available at one's… Read more

I'd say he's also one of the people driving the hate train. At the very least he is definitely peddling doubt and misinformation for his own gain. I keep seeing quotes where he mocked 'gamers' prior to this whole ordeal, but I can't find the source of the quote. If it's true, the GG movement is truly ignorant for… Read more

I don't interpret it as smugness. I'm no fan of Sarkeesian's presentation style, but in this instance, I believe that Tweet should be read as, "Seriously, the fuck. You're not going to shut me up, so keep trying."

In that—even if I disagree with her methods (though I do agree with her message, as she's been bang-on… Read more

Yes they did, and that's how you and I know about it. We read reports in the press. Read more

"Why is it only her?"

At least three women in as many months have been threatened so seriously they've had to leave their homes because of this shit. Read more

It's funny how this situation mirrors the extremism perpetrated against women every day in the middle east. We view ourselves as so much more civilized and accomplished, but then people do things like this... hatred and bigotry, it seems, can't be contained by national borders. Read more

Dude, it doesn't matter who she points the blame at. Shit like this is a reflection of us all.

By you essentially calling her a raging man-hating feminist you are perpetuating the very reason she is speaking out. You are the problem here. Read more

You made it goal keeper. I am so proud of you. Read more
