    Highways department for my local Council. Naturally, since I'm in local government, we get shit from all directions. But the public? The public are the most demanding group of self-obsessed children I've ever had the displeasure of encountering. That in itself wouldn't be so bad if they...

    The issue of gamer "entitlement".

    The concept that I'm allowed to complain about glitches but not allowed to complain about plotholes is absurd. Games may indeed be art, but it still doesn't stop someone's creative work from being shit.

    Would you go back to the old days? (Current teenagers might not understand)

    The last thing this industry needs is to take a step backwards. It does enough of that already without taking a giant leap into the past.

    Analyst Calls The Old Republic a "WoW Clone"

    Well, we always knew Bioware can't do moral ambiguity to save their lives. Even in Jade Empire, we only got a tiny amount of "Open Palm" being tyranny and "Closed Fist" being freedom--the rest of the game, it was clear that it was just Good vs Evil. Well, Nice vs Nasty at any rate. Hell, you...

    You are Rincewind. Act like it.

    Kid Becomes "Little Zangief" in Response to Bullying

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_slapping Looks like whoever filmed it, though, decided to humiliate the little shit by spreading the video despite things not going as previously planned. And to those who say that Casey was out of order: I would argue that in attacking Casey, Ritchard...

    Blizzard's New MMO Will "Blow People's Minds"

    I'm hoping for a cyberpunk setting. I miss Shadowrun.

    Bargains Are for Cheaters

    A single copy of a game, sold once to a customer, is then sold on by said customer--or traded in and then sold by a company again. Regardless of the screeching about being cheated, I don't get to sell you, say, a stack of bricks and then demand more money if you sell it on yourself. That was...

    Alpha Overhaul

    What I want to see is a game so scripted that every single choice the player makes, every instance of action or inaction they perform, has an impact on the game. Picture it this way: Bob's village is under attack, so he's trying to seek the Sword of Massive Violence in order to wail on the...

    Damn it.

    Man accused of being a pedophile for snapping a picture of his son at a mall

    Welcome to England. According to political correctness, you can't promote anything without obviously being completely against everything else even remotely 'opposed' to it. For example: "Merry Christmas" is apparently offensive, as it singles out one particular winter-related festivity as...

    Man accused of being a pedophile for snapping a picture of his son at a mall

    Like possibly when Daniel Radcliffe got naked and had a bunch of older women leering at him? They called it art, I believe. Flip the genders, it's sexist, demeaning, insulting and inexcusable. Personal observation: I'm a white man. It's physically impossible (Or at the very least...

    243: Misadventures in Role-playing

    This is pretty much the only way to win at Supreme Commander if you're me -- you work out what direction the game will expand the map in once you meet the mission criteria by failing once, then you deploy your troops and turrets in that direction to counter the inevitable army that will fall...

    EA Redwood Shores Now Known As 'Visceral Games'

    More like fucking science doesn't mean a damn thing.

    What is the worst thing you have caught a parent doing? (Change of topic)

    Agreed. The best solution is to stop crying about it on the Internet. People masturbate. It's natural. You know what that means? People in relationships masturbate -- and it's still entirely natural. I know there's a lot of "gotta be gentle, this guy's seen his parents' relationship go...
