    Something Awful

    Alright, I'll bite. Why does it cost 10 bucks to join SA? Sure restricting posting to those who are prepared to pay for it is one aspect, but not the main one. The real reason is that running an internet forum costs money. SA is just very blatant on the point where the money comes from. Take...

    Something Awful

    Speaking as an SA member, SA is probably better off without you. The registration fee evidently does a stellar job of keeping people who end sentences with "lol." out. The 40k thread over there is much better than any dedicated 40k forum like Warseer or Dakka, and that's just sad. True...

    Space combat

    Babylon 5. That is all. Again, Babylon 5, at least all the human tech. The show's writers cooperated with actual scientists to get it as believable as possible. The Omega Destroyer, one of the coolest ships ever.

    Mass Effect 3 EC - my thoughts

    I didn't mention the indoctrination theory for two reasons; 1) It's a moot point anyway 2) As you say, having a climax be just a dream isn't good for almost every case. And I for one strongly dislike that The Shepard would succumb to indoctrination. I probably didn't mention Harbinger as...

    Mass Effect 3 EC - my thoughts

    And there you have something that really bugs me; even if you do ME3 as full Renegade you bastard, Shepard still agrees with TIM in the final confrontation. For one, if you inquire about the blue ending, Godkid mentions that you will replace him, and isn't too thrilled about it. That to me means...

    The most beatiful game character

    No I didn't, because you had not yet made them when I posted. And you have a quad-post in any case.

    You quoted me why? Also, nice job on the quad post. There's an Edit button you know.

    The most beatiful game character

    I freely admit, I have a thing for redheads. When said redhead can walk through alternate dimensions and bitchslap a bandit so hard that his head turns into mist, all the better.

    Your favorite "first person" game

    The original Deus Ex. For my favourite that I'm currently playing; Tribes Ascend. Gotta go fast! (Actually I play Doombringer as Heavy-on-Flag, aka the immovable fat.)

    Mass Effect 3 EC - my thoughts

    See, I've always thought of TIM as having the right goal, just going about it the wrong way. And as I mentioned, I think him being indocrinated pretty much breaks the entire thing. Shepard is dead. Plain and simple. The entity in the blue ending is an AI based on Shepard, and it pretty much...

    *Spoilers* Mass effect 3 extended cut

    I'll just copy-paste what I said in the other ME3 EC thread:

    Mass Effect 3 EC - my thoughts

    Disclaimer: This whole post should be considered spoiler alert. I will as such not bother putting spoiler tags around everything. This will be subjective, feel free to disagree. Alright, with that out of the way, let's start this thing. I went into the EC with the lowest possible...

    Torchlight 2 Open Beta +Small review

    The correct term for what you're talking about is aesthetics. Graphics is just the tech stuff, rendering software, antialising, ambient occlusion, shaders, etc. People not using the correct term may very well be part of the reason why the industry focuses way too much on raw graphical...

    Best Sci-fi show

    Well since no one's mentioned Babylon 5. It's amazing, go watch it. Now.

    So, Pirates are Playing Diablo 3

    The only people who's ever bothered by DRM are legit customers, simple as that. Piracy is a service problem, the more accessible the service, the lower the piracy rates. True, there will always be people who want to get something for free, but they wouldn't buy the game anyway. Not lost sales...
