The Idiot Trap has been way, way too effective. Guys, he's making fun of journalists - not Retake Mass Effect. Please stop making yourselves look stupid.

I love Bob, but this is another case of someone commenting on something that they just don't know or care about at all. Bob has never played a Mass Effect game. He didn't experience the ending. It's not "bad" because it was subjectively disappointing and didn't fit individual expectations - it...

May I also point out that the strangest thing about this whole situation has been people complaining about being "attacked" by people who didn't like the ending. Everything I've seen has been 99% constructive criticism from those unhappy with the end. On the other hand people who are fine...

They're so right, I mean can you imagine if Michelangelo constantly changed and revised his art after being criticized by his patrons? Wouldn't it be crazy if Mozart changed his music in order to please his clientele? Or if Ridley Scott had decided that he wasn't happy with Blade Runner, and...

Our relationship with most developers has been abusive for many years. I thought BioWare was different. After DA2 I thought "They hit me, but only because they love me". After KOTOR becoming an MMO I thought "I can change them, I know they still love me". But now...now I'm done blaming the black...

I'm not upset with the God child space magic. I'm not even really upset that all three endings are essentially copy pasted with a different space magic color. Hell, I can even accept Shepard's "death" being poorly handled. What I really am upset about, is the destruction of the Mass Relays...

Ha, that's a silly thing to say and you're silly for saying it. Every game can be broken down to even less actions if you really wanted to. Shooters: 1. Aim gun 2. Shoot gun 3. Find next enemy RTS: 1. Build Units 2. Attack Enemy Base Turn Based Strategy: 1. Research Good Tech 2...

Michelangelo was all about the subliminal messages, that's what makes his work so interesting. Its not really 100% certain what exactly he was aiming for with them though, as that's the nature of subliminal messages. He was a professed Catholic and never said otherwise (although those in favor...

He actually DID turn it down, fled the country, and was re-summoned when Popey McWarrior returned from war with France. I know all this. I also know that the brain thing is only a theory, and that a similar theory suggests that rather than promoting atheism he was simply saying that the human...

Seems like more people are either offended or at least irritated at the advertisement. Many just because its advertising Jersey Shore, others because its defacing a work of art, others because its disrespectful to Christianity. For some its the rare Trifecta. I believe I mentioned that I...

I'm not just venting, I'm sharing so that I can see how the community feels about it and start discussion. Posting on a forum is not exactly a huge commitment, and every time someone complains about people complaining on the internet I really don't understand it. It's not like I'm not organizing...

Do you react this way every time someone complains about or criticizes something? That is borderline psychotic. The majority of the show is dedicated to how shitty these people's lives have become due to lack of birth control. In a country where so many people think abstinence education is...

Really? The Sistine Chapel is not objectively more valuable than some trashy piece of wall art you can buy at Target? It's the Sistine Chapel, even if all art is subjective a surviving fresco on the most famous chapel in Rome by one of Renaissance Italy's most important artists is objectively...

I saw this on TV today and I actually shouted at the screen. My wife thought I hurt myself. I already hate MTV for abandoning, you know, Music TV. I watch it for the train wreck of Teen Mom shows because it's a guilty pleasure and I know many, many teen Moms. This, however, sickens me. I was...

That's developer side DRM, not distributor side. I always feel like Steam only requires you to be connected so they can bombard me with advertisements every time I want to play a game. Point taken, though. By the way the sale ended, but Steam is now having a huge summer sale. My Ma told...
