    Shoot to disable instead of shoot to kill. Let's have an open talk about this.

    Rather than pull quotes, if you've gotten this far in the thread, I'm just going to briefly echo some of the better sediments here. Additionally, I'll touch on some of the legal aspects of carrying and using a firearm which, for a trained gun owner, are at the forefront of thought every moment...

    Favorite Conspiracy theory

    Respectfully, I have to disagree. The very core of philosophy is debate, and without it, it's extremely difficult for a culture to progress. To give you more background on myself, I am an American, a concealed-carry permit holder, and a gun owner. I often meet people who are either undecided...

    Favorite Conspiracy theory

    Many of the Obama conspiracies are good for a laugh, especially at the expense of someone who actually believes them. I don't like the man, but really? Lizard alien? Bush Sr.'s illegitimate love-child? Communist? Somalian pirate? There is one specifically that I find either amusing, or...

    EA Plans Free-To-Play For Every Major Franchise

    I have to admit, it seems I'm becoming more and more 'old fashioned' as well. 'Always on' gaming that constantly updates stats and such, fine, as long as it doesn't get in the way. Obviously I'm fine with the game needing to authenticate when it connects to play multiplayer, because I obviously...

    No Such Thing As Secure Email, Secure Provider Claims

    This is really the crux of what people are/should be upset about in all this, and sadly many people are still just ignoring the issue. For clarity, I'm an American(just so you know where I'm coming from on a legal standpoint). Many of these programs and new laws are skirting not only current...

    The 12th Doctor is....

    And just to completely bone the establishment, Bruce Willis as the new Doctor. Tee hee.

    NSA + FBI Files Leaked, Massive Snooping on Millions of Americans

    I've been seeing quite a bit of this attitude, both in this thread and beyond. I just want to give you guys, especially the international guys, a view from what you could call a "Constitutionalist". Let me start by giving you a rundown of some of the basic ideas Americans such as myself consider...

    We Dare Gets 12+ Rating, Parents Go Nuts

    Yeah, it sounds like Ubisoft is making the overboard ads to generate controversy, and therefore press, and therefore revenue. You know you're in a weird-ass economy when bad press equals more money for the dev. It's weird, but it works.

    New Year's Game Suggestion

    So, I've been out of the gaming loop for a little while, owing to having a freelance job, and not much money. So I'm looking for a game. Me and a few mates are going to be hanging out for New Years, and I'd like to find a game we can all pick up to play system link for the xbox. Three xboxes...

    Pokemon, first gen memories

    Yeah, Rock Tunnel can go to hell. I just loved the rpg aspect. I was a big PC kid at the time, and the GBP was my first handheld, with Blue as my first game for it. I loved the lengthy game that I could take anywhere, and believe me, I took it everywhere. Actually, I kinda want to play the...

    Your best experience with a FPS

    One, Zombiemod on Counterstrike. Fun, fun times. Two, reenacting 300 in a Burger King in Modern Warfare 2. Three, the Marathon games. Pretty damn good story.

    Fastest way to scare off a girl/guy

    Worst pickup line ever: "Hey, does this rag smell like chloroform to you?"

    Why did Warhmmer Online "fail"?

    One of the biggest problems was it wasn't as stable or had as many stable features as WoW. Here's the thing. Every MMO goes through a "birthing pains" period. It's rather unavoidable. Game is released, and players and devs alike find holes, come up with new features as they're needed, so on...

    The Escapist Presents: World of Warcraft: Before the Cataclysm

    There's a bunch of stuff that I've been dying to find out if they've used: (And any beta testers out there, if you've seen it i would love to know!) 1. Uldum 2. Instance portal in SW 3. Old IF 4. The island off the coast of Silverpine (name escapes me at the moment) 5. The Isle of...
