    Civ V Designer Jumps to Stardock

    This must be one extremely talented guy, to not only get offers from game companies but offers to be a lead designer, at such a young age. Looking forward to whatever he makes next. I just want to point out Sins of a Solar Empire was only published by Stardock. It was developed by Ironclad...

    VVVVVV Celebrates Steam Release with Huge Price Cut

    This game is definitely worth every penny. For real fun, try to get each of the 20 trinkets. There is one in particular i remember where you basically need to reverse gravity, fly up through 4 rooms while avoiding spikes, then reverse gravity again and go down those 4 rooms, all without a...

    Why do people from the US constantly complain about game prices?

    I would hope everyone would be complaining at the ridiculous costs games have now. 60 dollars for a game? That's insane. I would never pay more than 30 dollars for anything but the best of games, and I know none of my gaming friends would either. We all just buy from steam during sales, when...

    Indie Dev: "Sometimes It's Okay to Steal My Games"

    I just realized that this indie dev made the Geneforge games. I remember playing them when I was about 10 from Wild games and feeling clever because I managed to finish the first 2 without turning them off, and thus being able to finish each game within the demo limit. This man deserves my...

    Cosplaying Accordionist Performs Mortal Kombat Theme

    This is awesome, simply because the accordion is such a hard instrument to learn to play properly. I always got amazed watching my grandfather play on his, with the speed you need to operate the bellows in fast songs. Thanks to you, this was the one thing I paid attention to during the video...

    Creating an RTS

    Making your own RTS game will be a huge effort. If you really want to do that, then you will need a free 3d modeller program, if such a thing exists, or somehow obtain Maya or 3ds max. You wil also need to get a compiler for whatever language you plan on writing the game in. Seriously, you...

    Recommend some good Anime to me

    Eureka 7 This was probably the first anime that made me look for sub sites for it. Before that I had only watched anime on Adult Swim. After seeing this show and discovering the wonderful world of online subs, I haven't turned on my TV in several years. :) Bakemonogatari Probably the best...

    Why isn't Kirby popular in the states?

    I actually never noticed Kirby isn't popular in the United States. He seems to be pretty popular in my school at least. Everyone seems to know who he is, and the school Games Club holds a Kirby Air Ride tournament every several months. I have to say, that looks amazing. The Kirby games always...

    View from the Road: No Such Thing as a Free Lunch

    I have one question. This view that TF2 has micro-transactions is based on the fact that there supposedly are ads. What if there are no ads and you are never forced to view the steam store? Anyone can change the steam settings to disable ads and to open up Steam to the Games Library...

    Ever Been caught?

    I'm pretty sure my mom caught me once, but she didn't say anything. In general my parents seem to not care since they see that despite my masturbation I still manage to do well in the high level high school I go to, and that is all that matters to them in the end. I do still use lolifox for...

    Runescape, New and playable?

    I have to say, while Runescape looks like utter garbage, its gameplay mechanics are actually physically sound. I haven't logged in in 2 years or so by now, but judging from what I've heard, they have only been improving the game since then. One thing that struck me about Runescape is that the...

    PAY for ketchup at a McDonald's? ARE YOU MAD?!?

    All the McDonalds where I live(New York City) have free ketchup, but any McDonald I have ever visited in Poland has a price for ketchup. I assume its a regional thing.

    What Grade is Your Content Comprehension?

    That was an enlightening insight into how newspapers and the like write their columns to ensure the largest amount of people can understand it while still providing decent writing. I knew that newspapers had standards like this, but I had no idea there was actually a mathematical way to...
