Sounds like a great way to overload/ burn out all the mods (assuming these banned people even come back).

I'm gonna take a different approach and go with Star Wars Battlefront 2. Hear me out here: while many, MANY games have been better this year I don't think any will have as far reaching consequences as BF2 which brought the issue of microtransactions right to the forefront. At the very least...

Crap controls, poor balancing, a campaign they couldn't be bothered finishing (according to reports), and horrific bugs are enough on their own to put me off this. The microtransaction stuff is BS but then it always is, this is just people finally seeing the result of defending this shit in...

Don't worry, it will pick up. I was thinking the same thing early on and I was worried it would be a big filler season as they set up S3 and beyond but from episode 4, maybe 5 onwards the show REALLY kicks off. I'll have to rewatch it again at some point but for me the second half of the season...

People keep saying things like this and I don't know why. Wynn tried to start arguments with mods consistently for a very long period of time and ignored dozens of different people's different approaches to get him to settle down a little. This isn't someone who said one thing wrong and suddenly...

Can I get a definition on 'streamling' please, I am not familiar with this term. And what happened is the site's been hemorrhaging content and members for a while now (hell even the news section doesn't get updates any more) so all that's left is a few people too stubborn to go elsewhere (hi...

Are you using unearthed arcana? Because an Immortal Mystic could be fun to play. Not a ton of damage (hopefully the casters cover that) but plenty of survivability, a varied and flexible class that would let you take a few other off kilter powers, and absolutely the kind of class I could see...

Smooth move WB. Wonder how much this will cost them in lost game sales. Hopefully more than the micro transactions make for them because that's the only way these greedy publishers will stop this consumer unfriendly practice.

I have a few musical acts whose style drifted away from my own taste but the 2 that always spring to mind are Muse and Incubus who both made some of my favourite music ever but then headed in a totally new direction. The Resistance by Muse wasn't awful by any means but it fell SO short of the...

What about: -People who aren't old enough to play it yet -People only getting into gaming now who are curious about a landmark title in gaming history -People who replay it because they liked it -Possibly even people getting into game design who may study the game at some point...

All of which would make perfect sense if money had the same value to all people. A person making minimum wage barely covering their rent etc will invariably have a different threshold for a game financially being worth it than someone with a lot of disposable income. Also I'm guessing you're not...

Eh? It's not like she's undergone some sudden conversion or cashed in on a trend, she's been into nerd/ geek culture (including gaming) for decades and has said as much more than a few times over the years (hell The Guild was based on her own 2 year long WoW obsession and that's a pretty old...

Walter White might not be the bad guy at the start but he sure becomes one and he constantly finds himself "winning" but facing horrible consequences. After he kills Gus so he can walk away from the method business and finds himself missing the job is probably my favourite example of this. He's...

I wouldn't describe it as "the most important modern concert" but it's certainly part of a generally excellent response from the UK in the face of meaningless violence. I haven't had much faith in this country the last few years but seeing so many people making such an effort to help and be...
