Woo PEI! I'd forgoten we had Other Ocean. I've been amazed over time as I discover more and more of my favorite games were actually Canadian made.

Grats to Mojang. I'm glad to see a new, startup studio with some actual creativity become this popular. I hope their new game will be as well done as their first and that their first will become polished enough to stand the test of time. You'd almost thing us gamer (hate that term) types...

Exactly

AWW! I was expecting feet first.

Just want to add my name to the list of people who support GeoHot's efforts. Owners have the right to do whatever they want with the physical material they buy. It's just a computer like any other with memory, processing and storage. Stop treating it like some magical holy device with some...

BTW> Bell was a Canadian citizen, living here when he invented the Telephone. Some others are Plexiglas, basketball, polyethylene bags, electron microscope, Java (programming), insulin, IMAX, pacemaker, zipper, kerosene, and walkie-talkies. (some of which have already been mentioned) The...

On topic: I am not a fan of fighting games. Melee was the first fighter that I actually enjoyed. I never felt that it was too hardcore or inaccessible. Off topic: A friend of mine is one of the No Items, Stock Only, Temple Only, 1 v 1, people. It's incredibly boring. I don't...

My buddy wants Diablo 3 out pretty badly.

Although I agree, I'd say it's only as convenient as it is because you already had steam installed, and probably because some game you bought on disk a couple years ago had steam as part of the game. Other services offer sales too and would be just as easy if you had their service installed...

It's not just B&M stores who have a problem with mandatory Steam and the evil Steamworks DRM. Every other internet distributor (Direct 2 Drive, GoG, Impulse, Greenhouse, etc..) have a problem selling games that force the installation and use of the Steam client. At 80% market share, it's an...

Apple - Now your just being silly. (no surprise though, you've always been about appearances) Parents - You poor blind moronic consumers, take some responsibility and stop buying smart phones for your 12 yr old kids. Then go ahead and teach them how to properly treat members of the opposite sex.

If there was some way to enforce the other players playing with the pain turned on and not some custom third party controlling scheme with the pain enabler taken out; AND if it was toned down to reasonable levels I would give it a try. (I'm imagining playing SSBM)

It's not Gamepad VS Keyboard+Mouse. Controllers (including Xbox360) work perfectly well with a PC. And playing on a bigger screen isn't a factor either, as any video card in the last 10 years can plug into a Large Format Display (TV). The PC always wins out technically speaking. The only...

As an engineer I know that making things smaller costs money, and generates more heat in a smaller space. Either you get cheap parts OR too much heat OR overpriced systems OR big, heavy (not-portable) chassis OR some combination of the four. We have PSPs, DSs, Smartphones, etc for a reason...

1- Fair enough, this may have been solved since I gave up on them. Still a lot of extra work to start a game that shouldn't require steam. 2- While Steam bootup can be turned off, I still don't want it extending the load time of the game and wasting CPU cycles and ram while I'm playing. 3-...
