    Poll: Jim sterling VS Extra credits

    I wish I could say definitively yes. There are several accounts about what happened that I can't find namely the episode when EC asked for the community's help, Where EC outlined what would happen with surplus. What I did find is mostly one-sided one way or another, and while I read the account...

    Poll: Jim sterling VS Extra credits

    Well, I am going to condescend him, because that was one of the dumbest thing I have ever read. And I made it through a Stphenie Meyers book. On the one hand, I will agree with mjc0961 the EC crew does have a "lack of Ignorance regarding games" Google James Portnow, or Daniel Floyd, There is an...

    Poll: Jim sterling VS Extra credits

    The escapist practically stole those donations and tried to steal the Extra Credits IP at the same time. There is little arguing that EC wasn't justified in leaving. I can't say for sure, but I doubt it was a quiescence that Russ Pitts resigned shortly after EC left. Another thing what is...

    BioWare Co-Founder Promises Closure For Mass Effect 3

    So Highlander 2 is your go to movie example? The movie was already a joke. It would never be called up as an example of cinematic achievement, the way The God Father or Citizen Cane are. A video game comparison would be Duke Nukem Forever. Not all works are created equal. Mass Effect has an...

    BioWare Co-Founder Promises Closure For Mass Effect 3

    First of all, please site specific examples in regards to the film, play, and book claims. I am well aware that movies go through a test screening process, however that is a part of the movie's production. Director's cuts are not evidence of rewriting either. They are director driven and not...

    BioWare Co-Founder Promises Closure For Mass Effect 3

    In this case I am pretentious and stuck. What I/we am witnessing is a horde of morons strangling a medium in its crib. Frankly, I don't care if people think the ending was good, I don't care if other people think games are/can be art. What I do care about is that people are actively destroying...

    BioWare Co-Founder Promises Closure For Mass Effect 3

    "Broken Steel" was a continuation of Fallout 3, they did not go back and rewrite the ending. ME2 had arrival which was a different ending point for that game. For that matter WoW's wrath of the Litch king is technically a new ending for Warcraft 3. As for Cole, I have never played Infamous or...

    BioWare Co-Founder Promises Closure For Mass Effect 3

    I don't typically watch him, unless given very good provocation. I gave him a shot when he first showed up here but fond that his work, specifically his older stuff panders to a certain "arrogant through insistence" demographic. While yes I did like the ending, and want to debate the game's...

    BioWare Co-Founder Promises Closure For Mass Effect 3

    See, this is good a clear, calm, and rational argument. Honestly, thank you Zortack. If you would, could you link the arguments you referenced? I would love to read them for myself. Truth be told, the actual value of the piece is irrelevant. It is wrong to demand that Bioware change the...

    BioWare Co-Founder Promises Closure For Mass Effect 3

    To answer your question, it's because my mother never hugged me as a child. Actually, that isn't true, my mother was/is a wonderful, caring woman. There are several reasons Really. I think the argument is wrong, so I am opposing it. I think that the issues people are having with ME3 stem from an...

    BioWare Co-Founder Promises Closure For Mass Effect 3

    Just because something has shown up somewhere else doesn't mean it is chained to that property It is relevant to this story. I have never played the Deus Ex games I can't speak to what the similarities are or aren't, however I will defend the artistic value of Bioware's choice. The scenario at...

    BioWare Co-Founder Promises Closure For Mass Effect 3

    This is a complete shame. One of the few times Bioware tries to do something legitimately artsy and the nerd collective turns all NASCAR and big gulp on them, "We Ned a endin' that gone done make sense," I will concede that one's understanding of the ending is a matter of general intelligence...

    Let's All Watch The Batman Trailer

    Comic book movies have a reason to be ashamed of being comic book movies. http://hollywoodhatesyou.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/batman_nips.jpg If there is choice to stylize a movie, that style should add something to the the storytelling process. Chicago, Sucker Punch and 300 are great...

    EA Changes Origin Terms of Services, Forbids Class Action Lawsuits

    This is why. http://edition.cnn.com/2011/09/21/tech/gaming-gadgets/sony-psn-terms/ It wasn't until recent, most of the time you can't make people sign away their rights. This is a really concerning precedent for the Supreme Court to set far and above simply the gaming implications.
