    Tekken 7 is a thing...

    I'm totally reading Madnis's posts in Foghorn Leghorn's voice. "Pay attention to me, boy! I'm not just talkin' to hear my head roar."

    Tekken 7 is a thing...

    It's so clear now. Lucky Chloe = Taokaka = Meowth.

    Tekken 7 is a thing...

    I like Lucky Chloe. I think she fits in just fine with the rest of the wonderful absurdity in Tekken. There have been characters introduced to fighting game series that I didn't particularly care for in the past, but they never effected my purchase decision. Such drama...

    Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

    It is nice to see this game coming to PC. May be the first full-priced PC game I've bought in years.

    Men of the FGC

    <snipped out the screencap for space> I hear you. What once would elicit an eyeroll, smirk, or a sigh, now thanks to "The Power of the Internet" (among other elements) brings out the torches and pitchforks. The shirt was tacky in my opinion, but hardly cause to downplay the real news at hand...

    I’m starting to see these types of headlines as an unintended public service. The more sensational the headline, the less the article is worth my time.

    My name is not important

    Meh… not my thing. Nothing new here, either. I anticipate a spike in sanctimonious think-pieces and blog comments to roll my eyes at, provided it gets enough buzz. “We as gamers” require fresh moral brow beatings (and click bait). Good advertising, though.

    White Privilege

    I believe white privilege exists. I also believe it is only one component of the bigger issue - an issue fueled by money, power, culture, and peppered with stupid, myopic statements from all sides. Also, jazz is pretty great. Even white people play it. That is all I care to partake of this...

    bestest comedy shows evar

    In no particular order... Live action: Seinfeld - excellent main cast, great side characters, references live on even 10+ years after it aired Arrested Development - inspired goofiness, great story arcs, effective quick hits of blue humor 3rd Rock from the Sun - off-the-top goofiness with even...

    Destiny

    It does look pretty fun, especially as a co-op game for my wife and I. Maybe next year, when I'm ready to take the new console gen plunge. Warframe (PC) is our thing right now.

    Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

    You are entitled to your opinion. I respect your right to express it, particularly in the thoughtful manner you so often do. However, I disagree that those who would request/buy/enjoy sexualized DLC lack a "shred of morality". This comment is a bit much. For the record, I'm no fan of the recent...

    Female Characters

    From a writing/character standpoint: If the game is fun, and the character is cool – I'm all for it, regardless of the player character's gender. From a strictly visual standpoint: I often play female characters, and they're often the pretty/sexy ones at that. Why? Because I think they're nice...

    Super Smash Bros Wii U/Nintendo 3DS

    I expect a big white Pong bar to be introduced next, Nintendo. It's like "This is Your (Gaming) Life" in game form!

    Actually, it was made using one of the many online word cloud tools. Not even five minutes. My point is I think the reason you're not getting a discussion about the issues here may have something to do with the fact the discussion itself has grown a bit predictable in its latest manifestations...

    Ask and you shall receive, Vincent Rayne. I've distilled your discussion from the numerous other discussions already played out on myriad gaming sites/blogs/comment sections over the past couple of years. Here's a lovely word cloud for you to print, ponder, and enjoy at your leisure...
