I used to enjoy the single player campaigns in CoD games, but something about MW3's story rubs me the wrong way...it's the same issue as MW2, only this time I am more privy to it...it's like PG-13 action movie summer blockbuster storytelling, i.e., pandering idiocy. The set pieces and action are cool to look at, but… Read more

If anyone was inspired to sign up to be a professional murderer and / or target just because of a video game, I'd have to say they weren't the brightest crayon in the box to begin with. Read more

Makes you want to throw up, a bit. Anyone who chose not to watch that video, or started and then bailed, ought to be ashamed. This is what's wrong with society. This is what we need to fix. It will never happen, though. Read more

See: my reply to Brodka. Read more

Marvel didn't sue over the movie Red Dawn wherein some characters self-identified as "Wolverines". Marvel had the good taste to acknowledge that they don't own that word, and the movie came, and went. If I made a movie called "The Hulk", Marvel would have a right to sue. If I made a movie called "Hulk: The Story of a… Read more

I would be too much of an indignant smartass if it were me. I'd call it "Some Big Stupid Book of Words" and, because my fanbase would be Mojang's, I know it would sell anyway. It would make me stupid rich just like Minecraft, and Bethesda would have to continue to sit back and watch while I made money and they ate… Read more

So, I have a right to go around suing every other "Brian" just to make sure that I, Brian H., am never confused with any of them. Despite the fact that I didn't come first, I didn't come up with the word Brian, and the fact that every other Brian has a distinctly different middle and last name than myself, I'd just be… Read more

A friend of mine got a tattoo on his chest a few years ago. They wrapped him up in plastic and as he went out to sooth his pain with a cigarette, I could see the tat dripping blood from his skinny, bony chest beneath the plastic wrap. Read more

Love, love, love the look. Can get over the name. Read more

It just happens that more people who enjoy killing zombies happen to be left-leaning. Conservatives are already offended; just look in the comments. There's the uproar that conservatives pretend isn't ever happening when something offends them. By asserting there should be an uproar, you become part of the uproar.… Read more

I didn't know if I could feel betrayed by a franchise worse than I felt with Burnout Crash. Now I know. I suppose I'm not the one being betrayed; perhaps it is the series being betrayed by its handlers. Resident Evil for Gamecube probably feels this way about Resident Evil 5. Final Fantasy III probably feels this way…

Boo hoo. I know which sequel I'd rather have, and it's not the one time forgot. Read more

Well, it doesn't make a damn bit of sense, so...I mean, do I really have to explain that the title is, at its most literal: 'the last fantasy versus 13." It's not even a cogent thought. Read more

Not sure I get it. But it's absolutely beautiful. Reminds me a bit of Flower. Read more

I'm a bit tipsy and I thought your comment read: "I hope this comes out before Duke Nukem Forever." Had that been the real text, you would have been a master of ironic satire. Since I'm drunk, I'll still consider you a master of ironic satire. You should do stand-up, funny man!

On the one hand, I couldn't care less about convoluted pseudo-side-game / non-sequel-tie-ins / games with absolutely INSANE names like this. Read more

The transparency here is overwhelming. "Hey, that self-made man with about 60 million dollars under his mattress owes nothing to no one, has no overhead, no boss, no debts, no shareholders...why don't we just make some of HIS money...OURS!?" This is out-and-out economic warfare masked behind the "credibility" of the…

Part of this makes me think, "well it's about time we stopped treating hackers like criminals and put them to work," but then the other part of me which thinks Facebook is too lax on security, too censoring, etc. wonders how much I want people being paid small amounts of money to help Facebook reinforce itself should… Read more

But...the people getting chemo need that hair... Read more
