    The Long and Short of RPGs

    I like the idea, but don't think most people are introspective enough to realize they have the same problem (I do), and many would probably think it embarrassing to play the short version. In my opinion, RPGs probably should actually be shorter. There's no question that the same plot could be...

    Press Released: The Golden Age

    I agree with the article. There's so much whining all over the place, but I'm finding it harder and harder to find time to play all the awesome new games I want to play. And at $60 each, affording them is an obstacle also... but I wouldn't have that problem if there weren't more good games...

    Top Ten Ten-Million-Selling Games of the Third Millennium

    The Nintendogs DS bundle was a very limited-time thing, and was a different version (of both the game and the DS) than the ones you can get separately (I know because I bought it for my daughter for Christmas).

    137: Conan's B-list Problem - And Ours

    Nice article, I enjoyed it. I agree: it's about time for games to be more than just games. I don't think it's required for every game, but more would be nice.

    136: Adjacent Data

    The tags (for italics) are messed up on the first page. Nice article. Makes me consider what I should write.

    New Study Finds Violent Videogames Affect Teenagers Brains

    Correlation does not imply causation [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_does_not_imply_causation]. Books still get attacked [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Higher_Power_of_Lucky] (just not as often). And too much exposure to violence for young children probably isn't beneficial...

    BioWare Announces New Mass Effect Expansion

    Seems a little expensive to me for 90 minutes worth... BioWare sells entire campaigns for NWN for little more than that. And the Oblivion DLC packs were a bit less...

    90 Percent Of American DS Owners Play Pirated Games, ELSPA Says

    Haha, how ridiculous. I suspect 90% of DS owners are not much different from the two in my house: my wife and daughter. Neither would have the faintest clue what an R4 chip was (I didn't even know until I read this article), let alone how to get or use one.

    Xbox Live Game Made Free

    Well, the Xbox Live issues have interfered with both Gold and Silver members' experiences. When your gamertag is perpetually trying to sign into Xbox Live, a lot of the time it won't let you access anything on either the Game blade or the Community blade, meaning you can't even play games you've...

    133: How to Be a Wizard

    What a really cool article. Just wanted to point that out. ; ) Thanks for the adventurous read. : ) Edit to add: it will be interesting to see how long it takes for someone to make an MMO out of this...
