    What do you guys think about teen pregnancy?

    I really like "Teen Pregnancy", but I really enjoy all of Cake's songs, so it's not that surprising. OT: It takes a really good dose of stupidity to get pregnant when you don't want to (most of the time). Accidents do happen, but not very often. Condoms are 99.7% or so effective. If you...

    What is the appeal of leveling up in MMORPGs?

    Most MMORPGs have roleplay servers where you do actually play in-character. A well-made game (of any sort) doesn't make you go out and level up. You play the game because the mechanics are fun or the story is interesting or you want to hang out with your friends or whatever other reason you...

    Trailers: Batman: Arkham City Debut

    Well, that looks to be exactly what we were promised -- more of the last game, but everything bigger. I look forward to it. Though they still missed with Harley Quinn's costume.

    David Jaffe Dumps on "Art Games"

    There's a difference between saying "games aren't art" and "these so-called art games suck and need to go away". I think LRR summed up what I think of when I hear "art game" in an ENN video a while back. This "artsy" crap is boring and detrimental. What we are looking to prove is that real...

    291: Almost Art

    While I can agree with this article about most games, I find it funny how the author over-generalizes to the point of ignoring even his own games. Just because the vast majority of games are not made as art doesn't mean all games aren't made as art. On the other hand, I would expect this...

    289: My Nintendo Shame

    According to the news article on this site, Team Meat looked into getting published on-disk for the Wii, and the publishers they spoke to advised against it because only Nintendo games do well on the Wii. I wasn't talking about the WiiWare store.

    289: My Nintendo Shame

    It seems that the real problem with the Wii is that it was the first platform with motion controls. It seems that developers didn't know how to use them, or didn't want to take full advantage of the technology. As a result, the platform drowned in shovelware. Only Nintendo themselves have made...

    misinformation on Schwarzenegger v. EMA/ESA

    I've been (trying to) carefully follow all news about this Supreme Court case, and whenever I read the comments on articles about this, I see a lot of people claiming things that just aren't true. I also get a sense that too many of you don't actually realize just how important this case really...

    James Cameron Commits to Avatar 2 & 3

    That was kinda my point. It really has as much in common with Dune as all the other things people say it's ripping off (which isn't really all that much). Also, Dune is older than everything else people point at. Actually, it's an imaginary thing. A placeholder for a thing that hasn't...
