I think that fictional character attractions, if that's what the OP meant to ask about, is only going to grow more common in this digital age where the line between reality and fiction are gradually blurred out.

I'm sorry if I'm not the first to post these news but search didn't find anything so here goes! So another Valve employee has been seen wearing a T-shirt with "Half Life 3" written on it...

Depends on which doomsday predications you listen to. According to the IEA, we passed peak oil 2006, and might more or less run out of oil within the next 30 or so years. Is that an irrational doomsday predication? Climate change is another interesting topic. The are observable impacts of...

Yeah, it seems like the entire gaming community is using AAA in the wrong context. See, what you just said is "wasted potential does seem to be a big issue amongst high-quality games. It just doesn't make sense semantically.

Firstly, just out of curiousity, how old are you? Secondly, just because a shooter doesn't have the same variety as your common RPG doesn't mean the people who enjoy it are dumber. If anything, if you think you can define a player's intelligence by which games he or she enjoy, that probably...

The only reason I can possibly see for a PC gamer to dislike MW3 is the lack of a FOV-slider. That's about it really, which Black Ops had and Black Ops 2 most probably will have, and far from all other PC games have. See even that criticism is pretty unfounded in my opinion. But then again...

I've never experienced this problem. Is it something exclusive to PS3 and Xbox? I've never once had to wait for a patch to finish downloading in Steam, and I often play games the same day as the release.

If this is true then I do of course feel sorry for him and hope that his cancer is not of the more aggressive kind. If it isn't, and it doesn't seem like it is, what on earth is even the point of such a prank to begin with? Is it supposed to be clever? I can't even see how it could possibly...

In my opinion, this could at worst make no difference. At best, it could improve things.

Well Dishonored obviously.

Would be so interesting to know how intelligent these creatures really are. Is this the first step towards the language barrier finally being broken?

Oh, haven't you heard? Hating CoD isn't cool anymore. The trend is over and all the cool kids are looking for something else to hate. It's cliché. In fact, hating CoD become to popular and so mainstream, all the hipsters are actually considering to start playing CoD instead, you know, just...

We were talking about platonic love, not the materialistic love one might have for food. Just thought I'd point that since the only possible explanation behind your point is that you honestly don't know the difference between the two, and there is no way you would repeat a joke that has...

Okay, so there are two things wrong with your post :) 1. It's a theory, not a fact. And the theory concerns how eating more red meat might potentially have affected our brain more than 75,000,000 years ago. 2. No, switching to a vegetarian diet is not going to slowly lower your IQ. So...

I'm a meat eater myself, so I guess that makes me a hypocrite. But at least I'm aware of what I'm doing wrong, whereas I see many meat-eaters using pseudo-arguments and poor reasoning to justify their behavior and it annoys me. I don't believe people have the right to blindly ignore issues...
