    The Secret World Ditches Subscriptions

    Started doing some reading on this, since I was considering trying it. It appears they dropped the subscription, and picked up some bad reviews. A lot of players saying it isn't worth the initial startup fee. Too bad really, it seemed like an interesting game at first glance.

    Little Nitpicks in Game Design that Drive You Nuts

    This reminds me of another one in World of Warcraft that bugs me. When your character drinks they always take a sip then wipe their freaking face with their entire arm! It's like they've got some horrible drinking problem where instead of getting the beverage in their mouth they splash it all...

    Little Nitpicks in Game Design that Drive You Nuts

    This is my big one. You end up as Yahtzee calls it " a gun floating 3 feet in the air." My other one is clipping issues on equipment. NPCs and enemies that aren't really "holding" a weapon, you can see they're just sort of loosely cupping an items that hovers in their hands.

    Draconian DRM and how it can kill sales

    You know, it is funny. When I first saw the title to this thread, before I clicked and read it; that is EXACTLY the game I was thinking about. Miner Wars 2081 was looking good. Good enough to buy, in fact. It was the news of the DRM that made me put away my wallet. A lot of people in the Steam...

    Peter Molyneux Plans Only One More Game

    You may be setting your hopes a little high. Isn't this the same guy who tried to make a game centered around taking a pickax to a large cube?

    Zero Punctuation: Medal of Honor Warfighter & Doom 3 BFG Edition

    So I'm getting the overall impression that he did not like Warfighter. *snerk* Sorry, I can't take that name seriously either.

    Warren Spector Wants Fans to Help Him Make Epic Mickey HD

    Okay, well I'd like my fans (not that I have any) to help make me rich. Something else that probably won't happen.

    Gamestop Makes the Worst to Work For List

    I had a friend who managed a GameStop. You've never seen somebody so stressed all the time about their work. He left not too terribly long after starting to work retail management for a Radio Shack

    Games that defeated you.

    Not so much on difficulty or anything, but Amnesia: The Dark Decent is getting pretty close to defeating me.

    Poll: Is EA refusing to have ME3 on steam going to change anything?

    I don't really think so. EA seems to consider themselves some sort of marketing gods, and Steam seems to stand well enough on it's own without ME3 that I'm pretty sure that it won't have some sort of.....mass effect *rimshot*

    BioShock Developer Hiring Based on Metacritic Scores

    Geez, I've heard of playing to a tough audience, but that is just ridiculous. I guess I won't bother applying to them.... Mostly 'cause I have nothing to do with game development at all, but still.

    Bethesda Has "No Timeline" for Dawnguard on PC and PS3

    I'm really quite angered at this news. I hate the concept of this exclusivity, followed by a "Wanna guess if we'll ever release it?" jab at everyone else. This isn't so much a news blip from Bethesda, it's called taunting your players.
