    Worst waste of story telling potential that annoyed you.

    Modern Warfare 3. They left the second game at a very high note. Price and Soap were now terrorists and the next should have all been about clearing their name and avoiding and fighting the US, TaskForce 343 and Russia and should have involved a lot more stealth than even the first Modern...

    Escape to the Movies: Dhoom 3

    Amir Khan is a very good actor, few of his other movies to watch Lagaan, Mengal Panday, 3 Idiots. Two others that I only sort of liked because they are more Bollywood, Fanna and Rang De Basaanti. Two great Pakistani action movie to watch and our take on the war of terror from the front lines...

    Bill Gates Makes a Surprise in Reddit's Secret Santa

    That was a long time ago. Maybe he is trying to atone for things like that. Besides, progress is based on copying someone else's work(with due credit and possibly payment) and making it better and more marketable. He should have paid the guy earlier but Stac still won in court.

    Bill Gates Makes a Surprise in Reddit's Secret Santa

    You are rich enough to have a computer(possibly a gaming PC), some console(this is a gaming site so I assume do) or some means of accessing the escapist, aside from internet access. You should consider yourself lucky for that alone. The benefit is the feeling of helping someone worse off than...

    No Right Answer: Worst Commercialization of Christmas

    Kind of off topic but: I don't talk much to my American relatives and they mostly live in Muslim neighborhoods so I want to ask, did any of you see anything about Eid-ul-Adha a few months ago? Or Ramadan?

    What to do about Youtube

    Way ahead of you on not going to YouTube. It has been banned for more than a year now here. In America, YouTube banns you, in Pakistan you ban YouTube. On a serious Blip.tv and Vimeo are really good alternatives. I think their base video quality is higher and in both cases you are spared...

    Nintendo Explains Why Digital Games Aren't Any Cheaper

    He is basically saying we will charge more for these famous products because we know people will buy them and pay whatever we ask. However, we will reduce prices of new IP or experimental stuff because we don't know if it will sell. Doesn't this "devalue" any new thing they do? To combat this...

    Why hasn't anyone made a Call of Duty-esque blockbuster movie?

    That is true but to say Call of Duty's(and Call of Duty ONLY) focus is on American soldiers is wrong. The single player stories are held up mostly by non Americans. Even its biggest competitor, Battlefield, can't grasp that.

    Why hasn't anyone made a Call of Duty-esque blockbuster movie?

    American soldiers save the world? Price and Soap are the main characters in Modern Warfare and they are both British. In Black Ops, Reznov is really the star and in Black Ops 2 its Raul Menendez.

    Why hasn't anyone made a Call of Duty-esque blockbuster movie?

    Actually "Waar" pays perfect homage to that genre. Complete with a main character who looses his family at the hands of the main bad guy and retires right after and is pulled back in to kill him.

    Why hasn't anyone made a Call of Duty-esque blockbuster movie?

    Three things are linked. Spielberg was involved in Medal Of Honor, which was made in parallel to Saving Private Ryan and part of the Medal of Honor development team was in Call Of Duty.

    Why hasn't anyone made a Call of Duty-esque blockbuster movie?

    Pakistan has made one called "Waar"(in English it would translate as "Strike") and it even has some Splinter Cell in the last part. Half of it is even in English. Youtube is still banned so here is the trailer on the Pakistani version of youtube...

    Jimquisition: Toxic

    Its not just the gamers that are angry. Just go to Yahoo.com and Yahoo UK and look at the rage in the comments section against anyone that's not the commenter. The British clown unmasking story had bits of anger. The thing is, listening to and taking every comment seriously is like taking a...

    No Right Answer: Best Devil Ever - with Jim Sterling!

    Ray Wise is disqualified from this because you don't want him to win and he says he won't win. Otherwise he is the best one. The devil isn't supposed to want to kill you or harm you physically, he is supposed to make you want to do bad things. This particular version is one of the very few...

    Update: Watch Dogs Won't Run on 32-Bit Windows

    It seems like you are arguing for the sake of argument. From the context, you should have known that I meant home PCs don't have many 8-core CPUs. Also check the page linked on the article, it clearly states an i7 for Ultra and Recommended. And I assumed many people didn't know what...
