I wonder if Maxis is in a position to sue EA for breach of contract on this... -- Steve

Damned Combine; those Kurita just can't resist meddling, can they? -- Steve

Never much used the Twitter app myself after the first couple of weeks, outside of one week when both my desktop and laptop had hardware failures; it was a very limited interface, and I'm not talking about typing with a controller here. (I have the "chatpad" accessory for stuff like that, which...

DD didn't think this through too well. The damned thing is untraceable; it's a perfect disposable weapon suited for criminals. However it's utterly useless for home defense or "militia" stuff. In a way I hope they do sue Stratasys, so DD's list of donors can be called for in discovery and...

And this, boys and girls, is why we don't do steroids; it makes you do things that would have half the Internet cheerfully tase you at your desk until your office smells like a hot-dog stand. Seriously, though, I've done a very slight bit of what Christoforo was supposed to be doing...

I don't get all the hand-wringing; despite (because of?) the differences between the first two games I loved 'em both, and I have had the pre-order for the third on my fridge door for a couple of months now. It's a great series, and I'm confident that the team will be able to deliver. -- Steve

The art book and DLC sold me, but what made it a must-buy for me was the soundtrack album. I love the Mass Effect soundtracks, and I spent something like $20 importing the ME1 soundtrack CD so as far as I'm concerned the rest is free stuff. But I love the art book and the card inserts, too...

I heartily endorse this product and/or service. -- Steve

Xcom (aka UFO) and Master of Orion (1 & 2) have aged very well... I still play MoO (thanks, GOG!) when I have a dull afternoon to kill. -- Steve

I didn't much care for it when Somalis under Mohammad Farrah Aidide celebrated over the corpses of American troops... I find I don't much care for Americans doing the equivalent, either. (Psst. They don't hate you for your freedoms, they hate you for your busted foreign policy...

Almost certainly not, the same way that Netflix didn't until separate agreements were negotiated in the other countries and the way that LastFM still isn't. Frankly, I'm not very hopeful that I'll ever see Hulu here in Canada. -- Steve

Actually, he's rather sharp. (Granted, that varies by writer and illustrator, but in the main he's intelligent and stylish.) Your opinion is demonstratably invalid. The '90s Batman: The Animated Series had moments of brilliant vividness... Kevin Conroy made a great Batman/Bruce Wayne, and of...

Yea ghods, I can smell the desperation and phail of this "project" through the screen. Won't touch this with a lead-lined 10' pole, not because of the "controversial" nature but because that seems to be its only selling point. If they get a real statement on today's society (like, say, the...

There are people defending the piracy of a $10 copy of Gary's Mod because they personally didn't find it worth the price. Well, I didn't think it was worth $10 either*, so I didn't get it. That's the ethical way to do it. In this case piracy just says you're a cheapass. -- Steve * in...

I'm proud to say that I bought all the soundtracks of the Halo games, and they end up on my play lists a lot... thinking back, I wonder if I'd have become such a die-hard fan if it wasn't for Marty's (and Mike Salvatore's) music and sound design. It added so much to the games, and still...
