Hardly surprising. Then again, anything said about gamers is really just things you could say about people (in general) when given anonymity. Go to any major news network website, check out an article, read the comments. They're no worse than crap you see in an MMO, FPS, or any other kind of...

Honestly, who expects iron sights in a sci-fi shooter? Is there a lack of duck tape and laser pointers? Have Red Dot Sights gone out of style? Assuming the author is talking about ADS (Aim Down Sights), he may or may not have a point. Now, to be fair, I've played more Call of Duty...

People with pacemakers beware.

The fact remains that the Terms of Service almost always explicitly state that exploiting glitches and bugs in such a fashion can/will get you banned. If you get banned for such an action, you got what was coming to you.

If BioWare wants to get into the MMO scene, it needs to realize that their games are run on multiplayer. Neverwinter Nights 2 sucked, and to this day more people play the original because the story was blah and the real fun was in running servers in an MMO meets actual online roleplay (gasp!)...

I can't believe I'm the first to say this. Frog, from Chrono Trigger.

I haven't pre-ordered it, but I definitely will buy it. I have not to date been disappointed with anything that Valve has created and as it stands, is my favorite company as far as game designers. Valve simply does so many things right that the waiting time between games can be forgiven. Most...

I can identify with the OP. One of my ex-girlfriend's best friends had the same thing. Holding the door for someone is courteous. Though certainly not something major, it is a form of self-sacrifice, doing something for someone else. Part of the equality movement for women included being...

I think that a lot of sex in movies is quite unnecessary. In movies depicting the progression of a relationship (which are more often miniseries than movies), sex is a natural progression in a relationship, but it also complicates things. Anyone who thinks that sex can be uncomplicated and...

Someone already mentioned it, but Eli Vance and his daughter are good examples of black protagonists. Eli Vance, for example, is one of my favorite characters from a game. There have been few games in which I found myself shouting at a game for killing a beloved character, Eli being one of...

If you live in America, you don't -need- to make a mockery of the education system. It does the internet equivalent of constantly rick-rolling itself, and has for at least the past 25 years.

I love the "WE'RE SO SICK OF WW2 BCUZ YAHTZEE SAID SO" fad. Call of Duty 4's success was in the story and characters. There are plenty of modern shooters. "Same old M4A1! What the hell?!" You don't see that. If Call of Duty 5 has the same type of compelling storyline and characters that...

Admittedly, I like a bit of a grind, game and genre depending. Jedi Academy was a bit of a grind in parts, but allowable since towards the end, when your opponents could pull some of the same force tricks. Also, there are ways to get past the grind. FFX did this by making the save game...

The end of series 4 was terrible and terribly sad for me. RTD really does a great job with the characters and their relationships, but bites at the sci-fi part of the show. Mosfat will be a definite improvement there. But the end of the show with Donna just broke my heart, twice. I have a...

I thought Deathstroke, though typically a Teen Titans enemy, would make a good villain. He's strong, intelligent, and would be really hard for Batman to catch. Riddler would be good, but I don't think Johnny Depp is a good choice. Bane could also be an excellent choice, but the actor would...
