Sniping in war and videogames: Why it's hated, why it's loved, and why we do it
No love for Carlos Hathcock or the Scout Snipers? Must not be any Marines working for GR. The thing with snipers in games, as in real combat, is that they can't take or hold ground. A big bolt-action rifle with a high-power scope is useful for hitting targets at several football fields away, but is useless for close-quarters fights or attacks. Plus, once the element of surprise is lost snipers who stay in a single position are easy prey for their target's comrades.

Bayonetta (PS3): 5 reasons Bayonetta is going to be amazing
Hold up a minute GR. Not too long ago you were bemoaning the fact that women are portrayed as oversexualized in games, but now you're excited about a game because the "flashes of bare female flesh are teasingly titillating." I realize nobody can always practice what they preach, but that was amazingly hypocritical.

He was spot on in that anything can now be done in the name of "security."

QOTW: What once-beloved game do you now hate?
Midnight Club. I tried playing it again after a while and couldn't stand it. Idiotic opponents, boring cars(though that could just be my changing tastes), waaaay too much traffic, and kinda clunky controls.

The 15 worst-reviewed games of the past 15 years
NRA varmint hunter? Really? I guess it's marketed to the four families in the western world that don't have access to pellet guns and squirrels.

QOTW: What was the first movie game that made you hate movie games?
It was probably [insert name of Uwe Boll movie here].

QOTW: What dead company or franchise do you miss the most?
I really miss Black Isle, and the style of the origonal Fallout games. Fallout 3 was good, but I somehow think that Van Buren would have been better.

Skinny, long-haired good ole boy. And that's pretty much it. And no, I'm not an emo.
