General Discussion

Seriously, I can't stand the direction game design is headed these days. It started with achievements and DLC, piecing out games and letting the consumers be public beta testers for patches and extra paid content, then kept getting worse with every game having you do dumb RPG nonsense like do X Y times to get Z. Experience points, unlocks, ranks, collectibles. In Assassin's Creed III they have bonus objectives for every mission that I stopped caring about (do all that nonsense just to unlock an Altair skin, nothing that special), but there was no way to stop the game telling me I failed the objective every two goddam seconds. Now I'm seeing gameplay from Far Cry 3 and…

Have a great day Pkizzle Jr!

I don't mean to leave you all hanging with how the Giveaway is going to work this year. I am going to get something up on Saturday evening. I have finals with school and family functions out the ass right now. I have taken into consideration everyone's thoughts from the past few years about the Giveaway and I think everyone will be please with how this will be work this year. I had originally wanted to do it on Dec. 31st, but I wanted everyone to have a full month before it starts and also it's New Years Eve and I wanted to make sure that everyone would be able to hide out here for the few hours it takes to do it. Again, I will get something up this Saturday evening T…

So yeah..... earlier today the crimson map pack for Halo 4 came out. Those that had the map pass "bullshit btw" weren't able to get it... took 112 hours to fix. Then when the fix WAS out, nearly anybody, map pass or not, could, and probably still can, download the map pack for free. Only way to do so is by going in the marketplace menu directly from Halo 4 lobby. https://twitter.com/XboxSupport1/status/278254316253507584 "If you can grab it, it's yours."

Ladies and Gentlemen, the shitstorm surround the newly released The War Z is brewing, and personally this Panda is more outraged at the retard-monkeys-who-made-the-game (read: "developer") over their most recent comments than I am about the blatant lies posted on Steam for the game description. But let's start from the beginning shall we? I've never played Arma, nor it's popular zombie/survival mod DayZ, but I hear it's a "thing" lately. As it is with any popular flava-o-da-month you can bet your sweet little panda ass that there are going to be copycats (look at the literally double digit amounts of indie Minecraft clones on XBox's Marketplace). Enter Hammerpoint Inter…

This is an alleged video of one of the people who was either there at the times of the rapes, or actively took part in.
