The portal has no rhyme or reason. Some things randomly take up more space than other things, and there's a required reading section with random articles, there's random news articles on the auto scrolling bar thing, while other random news articles are randomly random'd around the page -- but...

Wow. They're not even trying to polish their vitriol with a PR spin. "Yeah, PC gamers are all pirates, so here's a shitty online shooter." Funny thing is, they're probably gonna lose more money on Ghost Recon Online than they would if they just made shitty ports of their real games.

Attack occurred between April 17-19. SCE found out on the 19th and suspended PSN service. Took about six days to determine the extent of the intrusion, culminating in this press release [http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/04/26/update-on-playstation-network-and-qriocity/] on the 26th. Seven...

The same can be said for any weight/size. I don't think people need to justify why they're attracted to some sizes, but not others. Super skinniness isn't always a sign of an unhealthy diet. Some women are just naturally very skinny. Denigrating them for being skinny or denigrating the people...

Depends on whether their subsequent games are good or not. I judge a studio one game at a time; it's kind of dumb to let my feelings for ME3 affect my feelings for some other game they make.

It's a tmesis. In this case, it's a combination of 'whole' and 'another', where 'whole' is set between the first and second syllable of 'another' to make it 'a-whole-nother'. OT: Pants. Just say it like thirty times. It's an awful sounding word.

Obviously, Fox News needs to play Roller Coaster Tycoon. Destroy environment. Build roller coasters. Make bank. Roller Coaster Tycoon promotes a free market conservative agenda, guys.

You mean this review [http://ps3.ign.com/articles/906/906760p1.html]? The funny thing is that he spends all of one paragraph talking about the graphics, and he doesn't complain about the game having sprite graphics; he complains that they were poorly implemented and the game as a whole was...

The irony is that political correctness was the hot button social issue in the 90s.

Yes. I think it's fair. The potential power will always remain the same for both players and the actual power will only diverge for the amount of time it takes for Player A to catch up to Player B. It's fair because the system does not make one player indefinitely more powerful than the other...

Then I guess I respectfully disagree. Given enough time, Player A can reach power parity with Player B, despite Player B having spent cash in the AH. All the AH does is allow Player B to bypass the grinding to reach that point. Player B does not gain any statistical benefit for reaching that...

The AH system doesn't sell power. Selling power generally means that paying players will have access to content that non-paying players don't have access to. Every single item that is put up for sale in the AH is attainable by playing the game normally. The only advantage for players using cash...

Err..No? Taking an extreme case and generalizing it across an entire demographic is generally a poor way of analyzing things. Besides, I don't think the value of human attachment is one of those things that scales with population. I don't think people today treat their friends and family 5x...

Just for the cheap prices. I like having hard copies more than electronic copies. If games on Steam weren't cheap, I'd never use it.

For real. Americans need to quit messing with English. It's 'thou', not 'you' It's 'ioy', not 'joy' And who gave you the right to get rid of æ and Þ?
