    Escorts Aren't Free

    Escorts need to serve a function. What that function is, is up to the developer. For example: putting a time-limit on the current mission or level (the important person is poisoned, and you need to get them out fast). Secondly a developer should facilitate the player by changing the map and game...

    Anyone still watching Extra Credits?

    I think I only come here for ZP anymore. And Penny-Arcade looks like it has a lot. Also I can't see the break up with Escapist to be too much at EC's fault. If James had tried to screw off the Escapist then I'm sure Penny Arcade wouldn't have taken them in.

    New Bacteria Replaces Need For Gasoline

    This isn't all that new, I heard about fuel creating bacteria years ago. the question is, how do you mass produce it. And don't go blaming the oil companies, yeah they're dammed fat cats. But to believe that a corporation can hide revolutions from the world is pure fantasy. Now back to...

    Sesame street's Bert and Ernie not getting married!

    Characters of childrens show shouldn't have any sexual orientation what so ever. a 7 year old child isn't gay or straight because they haven't hit puberty yet. Sex is something they can't comprehend, because those hormones, emotions, and context of understanding are not a part of the child yet...

    New Wonder Drug Kills Almost Any Virus

    Plagues that have DNA strands (smallpox, polio) Are easy to counter since DNA changes so slowly. On account of the double helix it forms locking the genetic code together. RNA plagues like the flu change rapidly enough to evade a vaccine in a years time. So what the scientists are saying is. If...

    Take-Two: Duke Nukem Forever Was Profitable

    LOL no one understands marketing here. If customer's don't know that a good game is out there then that game won't earn money. If you remember prior to DNF's release there were huge advertizements made on television to promote the game. Its just like the Smurf, its a sack of shit but, because of...

    Minecraft: Has anyone else lost the "Thrill" of it?

    I haven't been playing that long but I can't stand single player. I refuse to grind. To me its about building something in your mind, and being anal about how legit the building blocks are doesn't help bring out that image. The painter doesn't sour the earth to make his own paints and supplies...

    Poll: Be yourself: bad advice?

    I've found that not being yourself, and doing things like trying to please a boss who's bad at his job works out bad in the end anyways. So don't buckle down just cause someone is holding themselves above you. Because in the end they'll get their way and shaft you anyways. I had two bosses at...

    World of Warcraft Subscriptions Continue to Slide

    Wow everyone acts like wow is dead? It still has 2/3 of the MMORPG market. It's not that the game is "old" its that some of the older players are moving on to other things. I much as anyone loves a franchise, nobody can stay in it forever and not want to try something else. Call it Blizzard's...

    Concerning Final Fantasy 7, 10, and 12.

    FF 7 came out in 1997 when games were in the midst of the 3d revolution, and for games back then, there was a title that rocked your socks off for each genre. So FF7 garners the respect, fandom, and nostalgia of a great many players. I played FF10 and I liked it, it was the first RPG I ever...

    Cartoon Networks Says "Go Planet" to Live-Action Captain Planet Movie

    This is yet anouther reason to add to the list of "Why I have lost all faith in cartoon network". I mean ever since Disney's old president (and CEO) died of a heart attack, Things have turned around for them. They got Pixar to stay with them, bought marvel, and have been making quality movies...
