    What is your opinion on the MOBA genre?

    I will agree that the one thing that makes the communities different is that MoBA games try to make the people playing them nicer, while the CoD and Halos out there just kind of ignore the issue and accept it as "the games culture". That said the learning curve is so high it is hard to make...

    Do you think media causes violence?

    This chart is from the ESA website, and is posted on the link. The statistics come from the FBI and US software sales. https://videogamenotes.wordpress.com/tag/extra-credits/

    Where do you buy your games?

    I fucking hate Origin. There have been times that there are games I sort of want that are dirt cheap (Titan Fall was 5 dollars over the weekend) and I refused to pick it up because it was on Origin. A great example is that I love Battlefield but I kind of hate launching TWO DIFFERENT LAUNCHERS...

    Any other interests aside from gaming?

    Wait... Someone with real talent? One that the general public at large can see and enjoy? That isn't fair to the rest of us.

    Playstation TV?

    Tales of Heart R works. They have expanded the compatibility list a ton since it came out, I guess. Even though most of it is not official. The best way to find out is to head to wikipedia and check out the list there (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_Vita_games). Fucked that...

    Rune Factory

    Please, I own every Harvest Moon (and spin off) that has ever come out. You have a place to blab here (even did a retro podcast on it as well [plug plug]) I am always ready to talk about farming. I am not always a huge fan of some of the choices in Rune Factory simply because they like to...

    Awesome free software mega thread

    Paint.Net is awesome and pretty much paint for windows with a ton of features added. When I have to write up an article for work and edit an image quickly it is always the one that I use (if I need to fuck around with layers I always go back to Photoshop). It isn't a "heavy lifter" but if you...

    Have Games taught you anything?

    I was a terrible reader when I went into first grade. I think the teacher said something like "stunningly bad". I simply refused to read on my own (my parents had no problems reading to me as a child, so I willfully forced them to read everything to me). Enter video games. It turns out that...

    PC Games That Make You Feel Nostalgic

    The OG Sam & Max game. That thing was incredible. Even when I played the Telltale remake I still thought about going back to those good old days and playing Highway Surfing and pausing the game to read all the signs. This was back in the day before the internet too (odd man complaining time)...

    What is your opinion on the MOBA genre?

    I think the look has to do with the fact that they are calling back to the original DoTA and trying to summon that feeling. I think it is a neat concept, but if people are going to clone it I think they need to figure out something that isn't the core map to throw out there. There are...

    Master Chief Collection?

    You can dream, but only if it doesn't involve playing the game online in any form.

    Playstation TV?

    Remember in Japan when they let you transfer most games for like 5 dollars? Remember how that didn't happen in the states. Good times.

    Payday 2 anyone?

    My attempts to play silently basically last all of 10 seconds before I do something stupid, someone else does something stupid, or the AI decides to see us as evil for NO reason.

    Where do you buy your games?

    StarCraft 2 was the last time. Got the collectors edition on disc. We are randomly set hard copies of PC stuff on disc too, (don't ask me why) but I don't "buy" those.

    Assassins Creed: Unity PC issues

    I love your last line there. I got the 3rd one for free and felt pretty much the same. I think those games have a really solid core gameplay mechanic but never flesh anything else out besides that. Sure the world is interesting as fuck to run around in, but every time the story starts I want...

    Where do you buy your games?

    Steam for PC, Amazon for everything else. I fucking hate GameStop. I fucking blow up my twitter account everything time I go there with like 30 tweets to, well basically, no one about how much I hate that place and how when they fucking act like they can't sell me a game and no one will be...

    Payday 2 anyone?

    I have been looking for anyone who isn't a max level and random person to play with. The game is a ton of fun but it would be a ton more with friends/a clan. Join our steam group. We could start doing runs.

    Anime/Manga

    Fuck my life. A friend just introduced me to Madan no Ou to Vanadis and I can't stop watching. Crazy good, even though the "bad guys" seem to be the classic anime trope of being "no human is this evil, ever" bad.

    Can you convince me to buy a Wii U?

    Mario 3D world is worth the price of the console itself. First game I have played in decades that I stopped halfway through and thought, "I am going to be upset when this is over". It is amazing and just filled with everything you used to love about Nintendo. Smash. If you are reading this...
