Hey folks, Jimmy Z. here! For our first-ever Take it from a Zombie advice column entry, we’re going to focus on some questions people have asked me this week about child-rearing, coping with bath-salt zombies, and how to be better at sports when bits of our body are rotting off of you. Let’s jump right into [...]
It’s no big secret that the 112th Congress had, historically, the lowest approval ratings of any Congress in U.S. history. The new 113th Congress has pretty terrible approval ratings, too, and are well on their way to competing for the “worst” reputation. And today, Obscure Republic worked out that those record lows have seemed to [...]
In the past thirty years, a wide array of individuals and organizations have tried pinning all of the world’s violence on video games, claiming that by simply playing violent games, a person is somehow more likely to turn into a heartless psychopath hellbent on killing everyone and everything they see. Of course, we all know [...]
Ever had to call a customer service line? Ever felt the need to ring up because your TV is on fire or maybe your cat has somehow managed to get jammed into your DVD player? Maybe you’re looking for a refund because you thought you were buying a Playstation 3 but all you got was [...]
I remember it like it was yesterday. The year was 1993 — I was thirteen years old — and I was celebrating either my birthday or Christmas (they’re pretty close together). My parents gave me a Super Nintendo game that at the time was shocking and exciting, but I mainly remember it because each time [...]
We’ve all been there. You’re having a problem with your computer or some other electronic device. You call the company best suited to fix your issue, expecting to speak with a knowledgeable technical support expert, with an engineering degree hanging on their wall alongside bunches of certificates flaunting how utterly brilliant they are. But that’s [...]
I have played many games over the years and one of my favorite things is finding a way to expedite level grinding. I love assigning stat points and watching my character grow in power. Every now and then though you come across a character that is just darned hard to get anywhere with. Following are a [...]
1988. That’s the last time the “holy trinity” of action stars — Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Sylvester Stallone — all released action films that were in theaters at the same time. There were other years since then when all three made movies, but never as closely together as they did in 1988. Until now. [...]
Was it all just a dream? Were the past four years of unmitigated, unhinged hatred, negative posturing, and nonsensical obsession all just some lurid fantasy playing out in the back of our minds? Did President Barack Obama actually win a second term? It just can’t be! He’s the Antichrist, after all. Sent here by Satan, [...]
There’s a serious health epidemic gripping the world of contemporary American politics, focusing almost exclusively on certain female politicians and political pundits. And from what I can tell, no one is taking the issue seriously. It’s such an ignored ailment that science hasn’t even recognized it as a problem yet; medical professionals are so [...]
You might have looked at the title of this article, and thought to yourself “why would they review a game that’s been out for a year already?” The answer is pretty simple: a year later, I’m still playing Battlefield 3, and I consider it to be one of the greatest FPS titles I’ve ever had [...]
If you pay any attention to game industry media, chances are you’ve heard of The War Z already, and your impression of the game is probably pretty terrible. As the most controversial game release of 2012, The War Z picked up a pretty nasty reputation right out of the gate, and yes, we’re going to [...]
I’m usually a big fan of games that break through the boundaries of convention and attempt to deliver something new. To this end, Anno 2070 looked to be quite the promising title, with its fresh, sci-fi vibe and setting, and what appeared to be some unique gameplay dynamics, from the outside looking in, anyway. The [...]
(From Sunday, January 20th 2013) President-elect Mitt Romney was inaugurated as President Romney on the steps of Capitol Hill today in the nation’s capital of Washington DC, ending the administration of President Barack Obama and ushering in a new era of American history… a Romney era.
