Okay this is why I both love and despise the sex offender’s register. Love it because it lets me know if there is a rapist in my area, and despise it because it’s starting to get to where I am questioning its legality. In an effort …
Mods are a big thing. I’ve said that before, their adding longevety, showing current and previous interrest in a game, and give some brilliant ideas. Moders are the reason I *dont* loose interest in games even years later. All typos in this paragraph are intentional and …
Sometimes I’m disgusted to call myself a gamer. Communities rife with pirates, racists, sexual harassment, homophobia, nationalism, hackers, threats… put the kettle on I’m writing another novel-length opinion piece. I’m not a programmer, I’m not a designer, I’m not anyone who makes content for sale. Despite …
Fans who were let down by the endings of Mass Effect 3 having no real differences to them are giving Bioware a surprising gift, a large amount of delicious cupcakes of different colors. The subtle trolling is that they all taste the exact same, just different …

As I may or may not have mentioned, I’m originally from Scotland, a lovely country, small but lovely (except for those damn neds). We have a good industry, we got a huge boost from shipbuilding, and we are home to James Watt, one of the best …
Etrian Odyssey, the bastard-hard, first-person dungeon crawler has gotten good reception on the first three games for putting emphasis on gameplay and making it a challenging but balanced game. A fourth one is in the works for the 3DS.
As I wrote previously, Modern Warfare 3 had a lapse in its clean record of being largely free from hackers and cheaters, not to mention Infinity Ward’s very strict banning policy, which will come down on you like a ton of bricks if you get caught. …
