    Star Citizen is BIG

    They are shipping it as early as humanly possible. You can pledge right now and for $45 you can download and play the current Arena Commander (Dogfighting) module immediately. In the next couple of months we will see the FPS module released, the social (MMO) module and the first act of the 1...

    Star Citizen Too Much Game for Consoles to "Handle"

    Guys, the game isn't officially due out until 2015, possibly later until they declare it out of beta, and they are planning on releasing content for as many years as the community will support (ie. 10 years ala WoW). The hardware requirements for the game are mid to high level for a PC today...

    XCOM Mods not possible? What are these guys smoking?

    http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/127447-XCOM-Mods-Are-Possible-Just-Not-Coming-Soon They cannot be serious about this statement! XCOM already has a thriving Mod community that is doing very well despite active sabotage from the developers and steam. I'm very disappointed that...

    My Advice to Bioware for the next Mass Effect

    I'd love to see a Mass Effect sequel set say 500 years after the catastrophic events of ME3. You could have a few long lived Asari and Krogan carry over to give it a bit of flavor, but the feel could be a lot more primitive, a bit like Fallout. The Krogan could be having a civil war between...

    You know there are relatively few truly deadly spiders here in Australia. The poisonous snakes killed them all.

    LoL and the surrender button.

    Of course you can concede a game if you face someone who will win, they do it all the time in Chess. The only reason surrender/concede is normally not a valid option in most sports is because they are timed, and you have to play out the time limit. As to LoL specifically, sometimes when a...

    There are a lot of dead gaming studios that I miss, Origin Bullfrog Westwood Mythic Maxis R.I.P Last year I heard that Bioware was seriously assaulted by the same serial killer and is now on life support, but no one seems to want to do anything about him

    Gun advocate mocks Australia's tough laws

    Dude, are you kidding? Mechanical Engineers get PAID in Australia, move out to the north west, get a job in Oil, Gas or Iron Ore industries, and you will be making +$200k ($AUD - which has been trading higher than $USD for over a year). You'd be set over here mate! Also, when you don't...

    Movie Bob gets called out by Chris Roberts on PC gaming

    A Chris Roberts podcast re: PC gaming and his reasons for making Star Citizen has used a fair chunk of a Movie Bob rant to show what some people were declaring in 2010 about PC gaming. (2:45). I didn't realise what a raving console fan boi Movie Bob was.

    So I play games, read comics, and the like so this by defualt makes me a man child that is immature

    You know it's funny, if you game for 2-3 hours a day and spend a few hundred bucks a month on it, people will tell you, you are wasting your time/money. If you spend 2-3 hours a day watching sports and TV shows and spend a few hundred bucks a month on booze and betting on said sport, then that's...

    Could Bioware be pulling a Nier with the next Mass Effect?

    I didn't mind the ending to ME3, it could have had a bit more substance to your choices, perhaps a proper epilogue ala Fallout 3 and New Vegas would have made the ragers a bit less mad. I'd also love to see a proper sequel, set it 200 years in the future, have Liara, Wrex, and the other long...
