Ask Pixar to Make a Movie About a Girl? Why, That's Just 'P.C. B.S.!'

Jun 14th 2009 12:32AM (Cinematical)
Let me start off by saying that I agree wholeheartedly with a lot of the comments that PIXAR should do a movie with a female lead. They've shown that they can wriote excellent female characters, and a female lead won't hurt at all.

That said, there's a reason why some males are offended. What with the media giving spotlight to the WORST brand of feminists I have ever seen in my entire life, and don't get me started on online feminist groups like Biting Beaver, (in my eyes the female equivalent of the KKK.)

So I'd say the dislike towards feminism can be traced to the crazies and the media that gives said crazies the attention they do'nt deserve.

Capcom insists RE5 Versus wasn't on the disc

Oh dear. I should have NEVER read the comments. I don't know WHO to believe anymore. It's either "I believe you" or "I don't believe you." But I'm starting to believe the "I believe you" crowd because they sound like they know what they're taliking about, unlike the "I do'nt believe you" crowd that sound like knee jerk reactions to Jack Thompson.

But here's what I think, and flag me if I'm a moron:

I don't think it's justified to charge 5 bucks for the Versus mode.

However, I do believe Capcom's telling the truth that it is additional content and not content that's already on the disc. Clever programming can maintain a small filesize.

We live in an age where games that look better than those released in the 90s can be made with half the filesize. I do'nt see why this is so hard to believe.

Lost & the Damned DLC OK'd for Singapore despite male nudity

Feb 22nd 2009 7:50PM (Joystiq)
I find it sad when a country that is notorious for strictness for practically everything OKAYS a DLC content with full frontal nudity while the "Land of the Free" goes apeshit over a dick.

Metareview -- Boom Blox (Wii)

Steven Spielberg is the man who gave us Tiny Toons, Freakazoid and Animaniacs. I'm not surprised a cartoon styled game made by him is actually fun and amusing.

Video footage of all 32 Mario Kart Wii tracks

I wonder what's going on. Everytime a topic about this game is posted in 4chan /v/, the general consensus is "shitsux".

Is it really that bad?

WiiWare Final Fantasy to charge for downloadable races

Sadly, third parties will get away with this, because Nintendo says while THEY don't believe in microtransactions and In game ads, they won't stop the third parties from doing it.

EA explains Battlefield:BC's pay-to-play weapons

Mar 25th 2008 5:35AM (Joystiq)
I smell double standard here.

Battlefield Heroes is free to play, and you only have to buy clothes and experience points.

Battlefield: Bad Company is sold on retail and charges you weapons?


EA hates console gamers in this case.

Australia may receive R-rating for games, fewer bans

Feb 24th 2008 8:20PM (Joystiq)
Wow, this shouldn't even BE about the Wii anymore, since it's unrelated to THIS subject.

Australia's pretty relaxed for the most part, but they do get a few games that tend to exceed the MA-15 rating a bit.

Also, the MA15 is the Aus equivalent of the ESRB's M rating. PG is the Aus equivalent of the T rating.

One thing that the Aus rating has that the ESRB doesn't have is the "M" rating that is a middle ground between PG and MA15 (ie. Between T and M is ESRB standards)

Team Fortress 2 to get unlockable weapons, new game mode

Jan 23rd 2008 9:47AM (Joystiq)
There IS a reason why they're only starting with the medic first.

They want to see what people will think about the new upgrade. If they gave the upgrade to every class all at once, there will be a HUGE shitstorm.

Nintendo estimates $33 million earned from Virtual Console

Nov 29th 2007 7:32AM (Joystiq)
That's surprising.

Consider that most casual gamers will NEVER give old classic games a chance, and most hardcore gamers download ROMS off the internet, I'm surprised they're making money from this at all.
