Because the same day as Sandy Hook there totally wasn't that Chinese guy that killed almost as many kids with a knife. I'm going to leave this here to illustrate my point: http://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/blog/2013/08/30/harvard-gun-study-no-decrease-in-violence-with-ban/ The link to...

Best advice I got? Play the game, take your time, keep your eyes open, and enjoy. You do not need to grind, you do not need a walkthrough. The value of the game is being able to explore and find your own way. That said, the wiki makes managing equipment a lot easier. Find a weapon type you...

THey just couldn't afford it. There's a text log in Isaac's apartment that explains it at the very beginning of the game.

"I speak Braille!" I could not stop laughing. It was just too much.

Historically speaking, yes, the church (and I'm going to go out on a limb and say we're talking the catholic church of the middle ages and renaissance) has done its fair share of stomping on scientific development. Progress was inconvenient to the people sitting on their high holy thrones; it's...

True, the mechanics did get refined. At this point feel free to insert a shit eating grin and a humorously intended jab of choice; it's tricky to do without getting misconstrued in the forums. Ultimately, I stand by the fact that WW still makes a good game overall.

oWoD fanboy here, nWoD is for pansies. Getting that out of my system, I'd definitely give a thumbs up for pathfinder; it's a good entry level RPG for people wanting to try medieval fantasy. The mechanics are solid and well fleshed out, and everything you need to get a game rolling is the one...

Fallout 3, when you first enter 'The Pitt'. I'm level 24, with full power armor, 500+ stimpacks, and the terrible shotgun. I literally fistfight with deathclaws for fun, and have survived ground zero of a fat man explosion in an enclosed space. For all intents and purposes, I'm bloody well...

Commando. While he's not quite as good at the ludicrous rate of fire and infinite magazine size as Roland was, I'm finding my vladof is still belching lead like the best of them. First few ranks in the gunpowder tree to get the longbow turret, maxed mag size and metal storm for my rifles, now...

Considering I played the GC remake of the originally and loved every step of the way, I'm crossing my fingers for this one. They've proven they *can* do this kind of thing without cocking it up. The real question is, will they?

Gamers will defend anything if the guy sparking the uproar is an asshole. This shindig is case in point.

FE is a much easier game. Hell, a much easier series. The FE games, even if you refuse to let anyone die, will be horrifyingly forgiving and simplistic to murder through with a team of indestructible slaughter-machines. Tactics, however, is not a terribly hard game, with a few points of...

I don't know how to put this movie, beyond that I enjoyed it. Not for the "ideology" or for the scenes where people just get blown away, I liked it because it did come across as a movie that wasn't ashamed of what it was. There was no attempt to be politically correct and not offend people...

Sounds similar, but I'm pretty sure that isn't the same voice actor as Cave Johnson.

While I will admit to donning the rose tinted shades for my collection of NES games and praising their glories past, I can't help but feel this thread (and admittedly, my own opinion), is tainted by that nostalgic "golden age syndrome". Games really weren't better or worse then compared to...
