#watchthis We've got two copies of New Super Mario Bros. 2 in the office. And we've got an original 3DS and the new 3DS XL. The XL's screens are advertised as being 90% bigger than the regular 3DS'. Numbers are nice, but wouldn't you rather just see the same game running on each unit? That's what we've got for you right here. More »

#eveonline I'm trying to remember the last time I read something about EVE Online that involved typical features of an MMO. Like, I don't know, new missions, new ships or character classes. Instead, every time I see EVE in the news, it's for players looting and pillaging the in-game economy. Because this is basically a galactic Libertarian wet dream, this kind of thing isn't considered cheating, hacking or even an exploit. The makers, near as I can tell, typically respond with something along the lines of "Jolly good show!" More »

Why do you think this is "art" to anybody? Nobody ever bought Issac for the art, it's a bunch of goddamn poop and monsters. You never know what you're going to get out of the game. The entire game is randomized, from the rooms and bosses to the items. And since the items are pretty different, along with the combinations themselves, each time you're playing differently. One game you're playing with Technology 2 and Spider Bite for slow motion lasers, the next you're getting in close range for Mom's Knife. Put that it in with your own judgment, luck, and skill, and you've got Issac. And it's pretty damn fun. I paid only $2.50 for the base game months ago and it's one of the best purchases I've made all year.
