    USA - Police State here we come!

    All that is being done is bringing the law up to date to match the reality that already exists. Caverat, on a side note I just have to give my opinion on Al Jazerra... some of the least biased reporting available today. Everyone(media) has been watching them like a hawk waiting for them to...

    Mechwarrior Online Drops

    Shame that we won't have the clan mechs, Ghost Bear rocked my socks back in the day. Timberwolf, nothing more need be said. :) Very excited to see this news.

    Battlefield 3's Launch Trailer Highlights Single-Player Story

    Aside from the single player campaign, I think one thing you may also want to take into account is the co-op campaign (getting very favorable feedback from preview plays). Apparently, the replay value is fairly high since the placement and tactics of hostiles varies on each playthrough. Rather...

    My school has just crossed the line from 'Idiotic Logic' to 'Batshit Insanity'

    Hang on, seriously? I live in Manitoba, which school are you talking about... is it a public school?

    EVE Online Boss Apologizes For Everything

    I used to play Eve, going back as far as beta. Stopped perhaps about a year ago after finally having lost every last shred of faith I had in CCP. This gives me some small amount of hope that perhaps CCP will get back on track. The words being said are the right ones that people have been...

    Diablo III Beta Now Live

    No Email :( I was actually on the beta test for Diablo II: Lords of Destruction way back when, still have the CD they mailed me. Yup... they used to send you a CD in the mail. So pimp.

    1980s Beauty And The Beast Receiving 2012 Reboot

    Was going to come and post the same... half wondering if George knows anything about this. He's been over at the Emmy's this week.

    PC Control Fix Coming for Dungeon Siege III

    How long have people been waiting for Obsidian to bite the bullet and put up a job posting for a programmer who can make decent controls on the PC. It's not like we haven't been experiencing this since Fallout 3. Didn't buy this game myself prior to reading reviews, primarily because it's...

    Commentary on ?The Wolf and the Lion?

    Greg, you'll have to pause when you look at the skycell. I was specifically watching to see if it was sloped, and if you look carefully, you'll see there is a gentle gradient.

    German TV Says Star Trek Terrorists Killed Bin Laden

    Honestly, I've never figured out why that term is now supposed to be considered offensive or derogatory. German sailors originally used sauerkraut as an effective remedy against scurvy (which is where the term is believed to have come from). The English likewise used sauerkraut, but switched to...

    Ugh, being on that development team sounds like it just got a lot less exciting.

    Escape to the Movies: Fast Five

    I found the review entertaining... and my honest expectation when I eventually see it is only for some mindless fun. That said, how could you say Torque was better than, well anything? I saw it just recently, basically it was a knockoff of Fast & Furious, except with bikes. Edit: not...
