I've always loved Bioware, and particularly the BG series. Their new stuff is good (friend bought me both Mass Effect games and they were both really good) but the EA model of bad DRM and paying an extra $60 in $10 increments for "the rest of the content" really turns me off from the company...

For some reason, I had a sneaking suspicion through that whole level that companion cubes held the unconscious bodies of other experimental subjects and GLaDOS was worried they might wake up and begin trying to work with you to get out of the enrichment center. Then she made you burn it before...

This. Evidence in spoiler tag. That is all.

I always figured a big chunk of the stuff on the escapist is about 25% editorial anyways. I didn't think Andy's article was purely unbiased either, but I never thought it was intended to be taken that way. Fox claims "fair and balanced" but it seems pretty clear that they have an agenda (at...

Alpha Protocol: If I ever join a clandestine government intelligence agency, it would be good to have a friend or two in anti-American religious extremist groups, or the Russian mafia... just in case things don't work out with the job.

Nothing I'm really ashamed of... though people may be brought to mind of a bipolar schizophrenic as it flips from Metallica to Rockapella to Beethoven to Dave Matthews Band to who-knows-what.

"Between all the sequels, re-makes and unnecessary 3D, videogames have..." Wait, what?

No "chronic addict" category? (I kid, I kid.... kinda) I'm probably a number cruncher.

Yup. Bought KotOR, tried to install... nothing. It just kept spinning and making a grinding noise like the disc was coated in steel wool and sandpaper. Then after 10 minutes of wondering if this was actually damaging my hardware, a "cyclic redundancy check failure" came up. I couldn't even...

This is an interesting point that I've thought about a lot, though I think from probably a slightly different perspective. Yes, people in power or sociopaths have dehumanized their victims as history has shown, but the rest of us in our retaliatory human nature have turned about and...

I had a bit of this too, which wouldn't surprise me if that was part of their plan. The regret for not buying a particular title that was only on GOG may spur a lot of people to go ahead and get it tomorrow when they re-open. Even with all the people saying that they'll never, ever, ever...

If you hadn't speculated on the prospect of DD unavailability, before purchasing something via DD then you had no business doing it. Seriously, who throws their money out the door without asking "what are the potential problems that may arise"? Before I EVER bought anything from Steam...

Am I the only one who saw the "closure notice" Monday morning and thought, "Awww, that sucks! Well, at least I was SMART ENOUGH TO KEEP BACK UPS."? Seriously, I want to hear your personal stories about how GOG ruined your life this week.

I don't get why everyone is acting like GOG killed their dog. So you couldn't re-download for a few days? You poor, poor souls. You STILL aren't going to find another place that offers DRM-free titles so you can quit crying and get over it, or embrace the DRM in all it's craptitude. They...

THIS is what's wrong with the world today. I'm not a fan of the DLC model anyways. It just feels like they're trying to sell us World 3 of Super Mario Bros. separately. Sure, most everyone warps straight to World 4 anyways (i.e. you don't NEED it to finish the game), but if you actually...
