    ME3 Ending DLC Poll

    Greetings, I started a poll on the BioWare forums asking the community how they will react if BioWare decides to "fix" the Mass Effect 3 ending debacle with paid DLC. Would appreciate any feedback I can get. Thanks for participating. http://social.bioware.com/1819975/polls/31125/

    Why I am not going to buy Mass Effect 3

    Take heart. EA has proven in the past that, if a policy stands to lose them money, they will change it. TB pointed this out with the controversy over Battlefield 3. If other gamers, like you, act on their beliefs, we will make a difference. One person might not be able to sway the opinion of a...

    Mass Effect 3 has day zero DLC (MAJOR SPOILERS)

    We live in a free market. At the end of the day, a company only makes money as long as we the consumers participate. Now, I will grant you, we gamers are pretty bad at putting our money where our mouths are. We like to sit around and complain about stuff while still spending money on that new...

    Why I am not going to buy Mass Effect 3

    Here's the problem. If you're a Mass Effect fan, like me, a Prothean is a huge deal. Granted, if you're someone new to the series, or if you're not really a fan, you'll probably just shrug and not worry about it. However, this DLC is going to be considered a must have by ME fans, and BioWare and...

    Mass Effect 3 has day zero DLC (MAJOR SPOILERS)

    The fact that it's a Prothean is only the last straw. The fact is, this DLC was in development right alongside the full game, and was probably originally part of the main game story, much like the "Exiled Prince" DLC for Dragon Age 2. When it comes to RPGs, this is as bad as the stunt EA tried...

    Mass Effect 3 has day zero DLC (MAJOR SPOILERS)

    To me, this kind of day one DLC practice is nothing short of exploitative and is thus ban worthy. I personally will still be buying the confounded game, since my desire to play the game outweighs my outrage. However, I know I will not be conducting any more business with BioWare unless they...

    Why I am not going to buy Mass Effect 3

    You have my whole-hearted agreement and support. Props to you for sticking to your guns and following through with your beliefs. For me, my love for the Mass Effect story outweighs my outrage over this business practice, so I will not be canceling my pre-order. However, since BioWare also...

    The Big Picture: Words for Nerds

    People love to be victims. There is a certain moral superiority to it, and people love to latch on to being a victim. Take a look at the Occupy people. Sure, they have good points, but it's kinda hard to look at a lot of them an not think "hypocritical bully". I mean, it's kinda hard to listen...

    Extra Punctuation: Battlefield 3 Is Scary

    Thinking about the lives of those that you kill in war will drive you mad. That's a fact. Just talk to a WWII vet about the subject, and they'll be happy to tell you all about it. In a real war, you cant view your enemies as human. You have to view them as evil, and believe that your cause is...

    PETA: Mario is Pro Fur

    Well, I was surprised that no one asked about Mario's baby seal leather boots before. I totally called it though. I told you guys that it wasn't just Fox News, and I was totally right.

    Jimquisition: Hate Out Of Ten

    Well, American culture has been encouraging this kind of behavior for years, especially in the school system. When you give everyone a trophy for participating, or a good grade for showing up to class, or allowance for living in your parents basement, of course you end up with this kind of...

    BBC Debate: Games Aren't Art ... Yet

    Well, I'd agree with this to a point. IMHO, Myst IV: Revelation was totally art. The puzzles, the characters, the environments, the game mechanics, all of it formed an enthralling and immersive story impossible to capture in a movie or book. Battlefield 3, not so much. Im guessing the "art"...

    EA Germany: "Origin Is Not Spyware"

    Just wondering, why the heck would EA WANT your private data?

    Australian Study "Confirms Dangers of Violent Videogames"

    Of course violent video games can have a negative impact on "impressionable minds". That's why we have a rating system. Obviously a 9 year old playing Grand Theft Auto could have some pretty nasty psychological effects. The brain forms multiple synaptic pathways to accommodate new stimuli until...
