No Action: Why Tedium Can Work In Games Pt. I

Post Hero Image

I am rarely wrong. That is, I rarely admit that I have been wrong, which is pretty much the same. Was it wrong to purchase a Korean manservant over the Internet? Matter of perspective. Was it wrong to place him in a series of underground MMA fights against his will? No more wrong, I’d argue, than his so-called “job placement organization” lying about his God damn glass jaw. Was it wrong to lie about his weight so he would be pitted against men three times his size, potentially inflating my payout? Ethically, but not morally. Learn the difference, hippies. 

But I’m going to admit that I was wrong now, which is even more out of character, because I’ve never publicly stated the opinion I’m about to contradict. It would be very easy for me to say that I … Read More

Stephanie Meyer Invented Werewolves. I guess.

I can offer no commentary on this that makes it any funnier. And so, here is a portion of a letter recently recieved by Latino Review concerning the new Benicio Del Toro film, The Wolfman. The letter was written by Kayla Patterson, who is a, ahem, devout Twilight fan:

"This movie was a complete waste and I feel that it offends ALL Twilight Fans around the world, that including myself. For one, it was a COMPLETE remaking of the Wolf Pack from the Twilight Saga: New Moon. It gives the werewolves a bad name and makes them look like some deformed mutation of a rabid dog. I actually started to like werewolves after seeing Jacob Black and all his awesomeness on the big screen at the movies. That was until I saw your crappy remake of what you call to be … Read More

Those keeping up with the Dark Knight's current DC comics adventurizing will get the second level of this awesome t-shirt, but I think anyone can appreciate it based on the sheer strength of its adorableness.

This is how you make teenagers pay attention during sex ed

 Dear Canada,

Sometimes you're weird and boring. You're almost always too cold. You rarely get any of the movies I want to see in your theatres, and your politics irritate me. But just when I'm thinking I've had enough of you, Canada, you go and do something like this.

Oh, yeah, that link? Totally NSFW.

It leads to a flash game developed and hosted by the Middlesex-London Health Unit (that's London, Ontario), where you play as a ripped dude with -- and none of what follows is a joke -- penises for hands that fire shark-faced sperm at women while also bombarding players with questions about STIs. Yes. This is a real thing.

Working in a more-or-less respectable office environment, there is absolutely no way I can play this at the moment to report on the … Read More

Exclusive Interview with Gaming Legend Richard P. Levieux

Post Hero Image

Twenty years after the launch of the EvermoreGrandiga series, Richard P. Levieux still remains a household name among gamers, comics fans and anime junkies. While there remains, to this day, just two games in the EvermoreGrandiga Saga, the rich fiction has spawned countless cross-media spinoffs. Notoriously wary of giving interviews and spectacularly good at keeping information leaks plugged, little information about the latest game in the series, EvermoreGrandiga: Online since the famous 'postergate' scandal of 2006. After cornering him at a local bookfair, FFWD's intrepid boy reporter, Jeff Kubik, was given the rare opportunity to interview the genius behind the EvermoreGrandiga phenomenon.

FFWD: Thanks for taking … Read More
