    Medal of Honor: Warfighter Sales Continue to Disappoint

    The game was already destined to fail when it first debut. It was relying too much on DICE's work with Frostbite 2 engine, marketing based on worldwide Special Forces, and the inexperience that was apparent from the first Medal of Honor.

    China riots, island tensions and the UN -updated

    The example of Mexico vs. U.S. is probably a poor example considering we did win the territories after a war and forcing Mexico to sign a document legitimizing the U.S.'s ownership of that land. There's nothing wrong with Mexico invading the U.S. to reclaim the same territories...if Mexico...

    China riots, island tensions and the UN -updated

    The fight over the islands isn't for the land or the resources around it, but a matter of pride between these nations. For the most part, the Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese have rivalries going on, part because of race (each think they're superior), history (as someone else has given a summary...

    Uniting internet connections in Windows?

    Short Answer: No, you can't Long Answer: Yes, you can, but you probably wouldn't bother given the software, hardware, and knowledged needed that's meant for large businesses (which are usually expensive. Trying to configure them is relatively ugly/complex, but if you still want to try, read...

    Poll: How do you read huge forum threads?

    We've all seen threads that are extremely interesting, controversial, or significant. Some of these we want to voice our opinion/ideas, but there are hundreds of thousands of posts before you doing the same. For small threads, it's easy to read all of the posts to understand how the conversation...

    Poll: Would you change your sex if you could?

    Hell no, MAN all the way :D I'm naturally an introvert and the social expectations of being a female (having to look nice, dress nice, make up, etc.), more hygiene care, and the shit they have to deal with some gaming/computer communities are some of the things that make me glad I'm male...

    So I'm Starting World of Warcraft Again.....

    I've been in this situation 3 or 4 times over 6 years, and I've learned that it doesn't matter which realm you pick. Half of depends on the players you meet and associate, and half depends on you. Almost like real life. Best I can say is a high populated server would give you more options in...

    What is this obsession with framerates over 30FPS?

    If the FPS of a game is less than or equal to the refresh rate of monitors, then you don't see your screen being "teared" into two when there's a lot of movement/action going on. That effect is very distracting and extremely detrimental in competitive gaming. Such is the purpose of having the...

    What is this obsession with framerates over 30FPS?

    I was impressed with this thread going through the first 3 pages without any mention of the "your eyes can't see more than 30 fps" BS I've read through the years, but then users like lukey94, Absolutionis, Pyro Paul made the thread typical like any other FPS threads. Well done you guys, at least...

    It was fun, but it cannot go on like this. I'm breaking up with you.

    Only in Starcraft 2, the game does it on its own rather than you have to do anything. If you're being insulted over something the game does for you, I'd be interested to see how you function in public. Unless it takes you 5 seconds or more to wait for the game to synch up with Battle.Net...

    It was fun, but it cannot go on like this. I'm breaking up with you.

    What background check? Seems like an exaggerated response of having to connect to Battle.Net at all times.

    Why no games on Steam?

    This is the case with almost any other software you buy. Normally in the page where you have to "Agree" or "Disagree", you're agreeing on a license, not the actual product itself. Valve isn't alone nor the first to do this, I remember this going back since the 1990's. As for advantage, to...

    Poll: Your view on parents spanking their children?

    Ah yes, good to know I'm not the only one that's seen the "wooden spoon/spatula". IMO, parents should be allowed to spank their children, but like any other punishment or "corrective measures", there's a line when such thing becomes abuse. That said, I don't have any kids, and I probably...

    Describe your current thoughts on your life

    Graduated from university in Mathematics. Became an Army officer that's been paying me well. Still studying Math on my own time for graduate school / hobby. Job itself deviates from not doing anything, being on a chaotic stressful crunch time, and being "ping-pong'd" all over the place. Most of...

    Less and less PC version of games

    I fail to see how all the reasons you listed should make you conclude that the developers are "lazy". Those reasons are more than enough for the developers not to port to PC or contract another developer to do it for them.
