The brilliant part of Clyde is that the way he was programmed cut off the player, allowing Pinky to predict more precisely where the player would go and allow Inky and Blinky more room to box the player in. Clyde was the zone defense of Pac-Man and an unsung hero of video game strategy. Read more

I feel like this game is trying to say something about the pointlessness of our self-obsession and the brevity of youthful beauty. Aren't we all just skeletons walking around a graveyard taking selfies? Read more

Someone PLEASE PLEASE explain to me how this makes any sort of since at all whatsoever! What the FRICK am I missing here?! Read more

"Seafood soup!"

Suck it, Ultross.

I didn't know he did Twitch live streams. I've been subbed to this dude on Youtube for awhile, and he's absolutely awesome and talented.

Just wait until the stakes are as big as in traditional sports and the people who are corrupted run the events and are in league with the devs that make the game. It's not "if" this will happen, it's "when". How much money will it take before a developer of a game takes a bit of cash on the side to help a team or Read more

See, eSports is just like 'real' sports! Read more

BioWare is known for its shitty community communication, it took them 3 years to get it right in SWTOR and they simply stopped trying in ME3. Read more

I bought it on PC at release and haven't played more than 30 minutes due to a variety of issues. Read more

I loved the game, for all its flaws, but I'm incredibly glad to be done with it, because of the banter bug. Fixed? My ass it's fixed. Check out the forums, it's worse than ever. Sure, banter now fires, but only if you stand in a corner away from everything on the map and wait. I got partway through my second Read more
