I believe I've read somewhere that watching/reading sad movies, books, etc. tends to actually improve your mood.

Jim Sterling lost me with one video. Just doesn't have the hook of the other escapist guys. Or maybe he just has an unappealing voice to me.

That used to be the same for me. I watched his 'Games are not movies' video and thought he was a pillock. But his videos since that only improved in terms of quality and insight and he really does have amazing comic timing. He has since said that he used to be kind of shit too.

His latest video in particular was a brutally effective takedown on the 'video games desensitize us to violence' idea. I'm a bit shocked they let him post that video.

That suicide video is nothing, really. He could've shown something far more brutal than that.

Whelp, I've been promoted to Squad Leader 7 times in the past three days. If you want to be succesfull at Planetside 2, follow these simple steps.

Step 1. Be a team-player. Revive people, park Sunderers at various locations. Follow your squad-leader around and always head to the waypoints.

Step 2. Say relevant things in the chatbox. Let your team know when you have a Sunderer out, let them know if you see an enemy armor convoy heading to the ****ing bio-lab you just captured. Quote 40K when storming the Crown.

Step 3. Have a girl's name.

Step 4. Bask in the neckbeards' admiration and blatant lust.

Funny how I never heard of the game Amy before now. I guess it's what the Walking Dead game with Clementine would've been if it was executed all wrong.

The latest news coming out of the courts in Delaware is that Clearlake (and THQ) have agreed to hold an auction on the 22nd of January to sell off the IP portfolio of THQ and that EA Games for one is lined up to snatch up some quality titles from the essentially defunct company.

Goodbye Dawn of War.

He was born a private, he'll die a private, and he'll have only his fleas to mourn him.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Well, at least we can look forward to them getting well-funded, before EA obliterates them as punishment for not selling 500 thousand copies within three days of release.

Goodbye Dawn of War.

DoW III back on track

Sega and Creative Assembly got the Warhammer fantasy license

Warhammer Total War please god yes

New years wishes muthafukers~

Hmm...

Must say I didn't expect it so soon.

Just put that in a thread >/

I must say my pattern of Pokemon choices tends to get me the ones I like anyway.

But I honestly like all of the new ones.

Yeah, Gen 6 looks awesome already.

I want the frog.

Frog guy is a respectable choice. I approve.

I'm pretty sure that, if rumors are true then that Grass Starter is doomed to a life of suck. Most people want to say they're Grass/Dark, Fire/Psychic, and Water/Fighting. Dark doesn't really do a whole lot for Grass aside from add fighting weaknesses and make all the new Bugs destroy it even harder.

And I just dislike that Fox's design.

Hmm.. But theres already a seed themed grass/dark and a water/fighting frog.. Better not repeat it.
