Argo. Had just the right mix of historical drama and Hollywood showmanship.

If it's like Rainbow Six Vegas I could get on board with the concept.

So the FPS game is now called The Bureau: XCOM Declassified and has been changed to a "third person squad based tactical shooter." Not sure if want.

Xbox Infinity +1

Word is the new console is called Xbox Infinity. I really hope that isn't related to Comcast Xfinity.

I sure am finding a lot of stuff related to women and games recently. I'm not even looking for it on purpose, it just pops up.

There are not nearly enough games that give you a button to flip the bird.

Well, with American commercials Old Spice is like a shining diamond in a sea of shit.

You know who I liked? Gaige from Borderlands 2. The game wasn't a whole lot about character development, but she has an interesting design, the coolest ability, and a memorable personality.

Like I said, you don't have to like Dragon Crown's art style. Hell, I agree that there aren't enough interesting female characters out there right now. But at the same time I guess I'm saying that there are better uses of your time and energy than complaining about a game that really hasn't been shown to do anything worse yet than put in some admittedly bouncy ladies. And W&S, anime is a whoooole other beast in itself. I'm actually with you on that one. Way too many animes have way too much fanservice. I can't even watch it without feeling dirty.

So can we talk about Dragon's Crown for a minute? Apparently it's become a thing again because of the crazy art style and the way it depicts the playable female characters, specifically the sorceress and the amazon. This might be the unpopular opinion but I don't see how it's worth making a huge fuss over. I won't claim that the art style isn't exaggerated and full of cheesecake. Oh, it definitely is, but the female characters aren't the only one with ludicrous proportions. The whole game is like that. I get how people may not like what they see here, but to be personally offended by it? Why bother? How can anyone look at this and actually take it seriously? If a woman sees this and decides she doesn't want the game because the aesthetic turns her off, I can respect that. What makes me roll my eyes is the level of pure vitriol being hurled at the studio just because of how two characters look. Kotaku went so far as to call the artist a 14-year old boy and say that the studio should stop hiring teenagers. Isn't that a bit much? We're talking about a beat-em-up game. I'm willing to bet it's not going to be too heavy on dialogue or character development for male OR female characters, regardless of their design. It's an art style and you either like it or you don't. If the game comes out and the sorceress says slutty double entendres every two minutes then I'll backpedal on this, but based on what is currently known about it I just see all this controversy as a waste of time. I had a similar feeling toward that Hitman trailer from a while back with the nuns. Did I like it? Hell no. I thought it was completely stupid, but at the same time it was so ridiculous that I couldn't bother getting bent out of shape about it. There are female final fantasy characters that I think commit worse sins against women than Dragon's Crown does. Those games actually DO take themselves seriously.

Certainly a creative way to interrogate somebody. Especially since it involves killing three or four of your own guys.

So was there a reason for Theon to be freed, led around the middle of nowhere for a while, then brought right back to the torture chamber? I mean, it's funny, but what's the practical reason for it?

People who don't know the difference between sexism and misogyny.

The fact that this is a man who has to divide a game review into chapters reminds me exactly why I always hated his articles when I still read Kotaku.

Yes! Make it so, Insomniac! We need a good game movie! Wreck It Ralph only half counts.

Man, what are they going to do when the series inevitably catches up with the books?

I don't like people trying to argue to me that it doesn't matter if I personally hate an artist/actor/author and that I should still buy an album/movie/book because it's good. Maybe it is good, but is it so hard to understand that I don't want to financially support a douchebag?
