    Gamers Uncomfortable with Change, Says EA's Peter Moore

    No wonder I tend to buy Steam games, and have recently got back into collecting old NES games. None of the claptrap that has been mentioned already. Though I still have a weakness for Blizzard products :(

    The Deal with MMORPG's

    One game to keep an eye out for is Pathfinder Online. They claim to be doing an open sandbox player driven extravaganza. Now talk is cheap but if they even accomplish 25% of what they claim and somehow keep is from devolving to a PvP gank fest, it might actually be a bit of a genre breaker for...

    Lisa Foiles still has a show. Why...?

    But I like Cinema Snob.... **ducks**

    Co Founder of the Company That Makes the Oculus Rift Hit By a Car and Killed During Police Chase

    Ummm, the article says nothing about the streets being crowded. All it says is the van hit two vehicles before hitting Mr. Reisse. If you have any other articles that say the police were driving irresponsibly please link it, otherwise you're coming across quite unfairly to the police who may...

    Poll: How would you punish a rapist?

    I'd like ot see the exact crime committed against them. You rape someone with a broomstick? Well you get raped with a broomstick. I'd do that for every crime. (all the ones like fraud and theft and the like would be financial restitution of the sum lost by the victim)

    Columnist Enlists Anonymous to Take Down Rapists

    My big issue is this. Anonymus answers to no body. No oversight, appeals or anything. Let's play a simple game here folks. Lets say one of the accused is named (NOT THE NAME, just one I made up) John Alexander Smith, 17 years old. black hair. Now, in a small town down the road there is a...

    David Jaffe to Developers: "You Deserve What You Get"

    Meh, problem is unions can become just as or even moreso corrupt than employers. So when that happens you're really screwed because you can't easily get rid of a corrupt union. Pretty shitty situation really. They need a union to help prevent abuse and then when the union becomes abusive...

    Creative Assembly Reveals Free-to-Play Total War: Arena

    Seriously, who cares? As long as they don't sink the Total War franchises to fund this it's just another game on the market you can play or not play depending on your fancy. (now if their others games suffer because of this, feel free to break out the pitchforks and torches, but common folks...

    Poll: Injustice of the Permaban

    If he acted like he did the all the convos I saw him post in (belligerent, insulting and quite frankly impossible to argue with, reason with or even be halfway civil with) I'm glad he's gone. Too many people have this quirk to see people like katatori-kun and think they some intellectual rebel...

    "Dear Customer, it is my pleasure to inform you..." (A Venting Thread)

    Honestly, I've never put up ith this kinda BS from customers. Granted I've quit jobs over it... but now I work in security at a port. Not a glamorous job but I get very little BS. The workers and contractors don't give any shit and John Q Public tries and I very gleefully get to give it to them...

    Poll: Injustice of the Permaban

    Katatori-kun got banned? I had him blocked for giving me a stomach ulcer so didn't know. I think the mods are fairly fair in a fair way. They are human. granted the one warning I got was over something I stand by to this day and even got the mod to admit that I was right in a private message...

    Dubious Kickstarter at $21,000 and [Edit] (Hopefully) Dropping

    Makes me wonder if Kickstarter bothers to go through this shit and just start banning and removing the blatently obvious BS projects. I mean they must but odd things really obvious ones slip thorugh the cracks.

    The feeling of having nothing to play.

    Yeah I can feel your pain so to speak. My main game is WoW. But every so often I just don't wanna play for whatever reason. So I have a few "big titles" like Civ 5, Heroes 6 and 1-2 others. But then I have a massive backlog. ABout 100 games on steam, 30 on gog.com, about 200 roms for a NES/SNES...

    Aspiring rap star shoot friends as a sacrifice to the Illuminati

    You know, I have a funny feeling the Illuminati wouldn't accept this twit. You think a super secret world controlling organiazation wouldn't be overly interested in some weed whacked wannabe.
