I find it slightly derogatory, but not in a serious way. It's about as offensive as calling a friend who just stepped on your foot a "jerk."

The level of "realism" has nothing to do with how good a game is; I love Quake and I love Red Orchestra because they are both well-designed games. How "realistic" they are has nothing to do with it.

Modern Warfare 2 was really short and I would have been really dissatisfied if I had paid for it rather than just borrowing it from my roommate, but while it lasted, the single-player game was really, really great. I don't play online games. I haven't played Black Ops yet, but as long as the...

You know, I could give a pretty detailed response, but if you honestly think that the stories of the new movies are better and that the characters are more engaging, we're clearly not going to find any common ground in this debate. (Seriously, how are the new characters possibly more engaging...

I had a subscription to PC Gamer for five years. Over that time, the budget clearly went way down. It went from having, at a minimum, a half-page review for every game, to sometimes reviewing six games on a page that also had a half-page ad. Reviews of AAA games went from being six pages to two...

The singleplayer games have always been fantastic. I don't really play multiplayer games so that's not really an issue for me.

I'm reading A Very Short Introduction to Ideology for work and Queen and Country for pleasure.

Mass Effect 2 was such a gigantic improvement over the first that I'm not sure I'll ever be able to play ME1 ever again. I agree that the overarching storyline in ME2 was kind of weak, but so was the big story in the first one; the quality of the story comes from the party members and their side...

Isn't Ovechkin supposed to be an okay guy aside from the whole over-celebrating thing? Are you thinking of Sean Avery? Closer to the topic: I 100% seriously thought the OP was talking about the mentally disabled for the first 3/4 of the post.

This is a profoundly stupid question. There's nothing in our blood that makes us better rappers. K'naan is from Somalia and Kanye West is from the States, but Kanye is still a much, much better rapper in every way.

I generally make plans to catch up on my work but instead end up drunk with my friends.

I don't think it's a problem either way, though I've never dated someone who played games more than once in a blue moon.

I can already throw shit. I would rather be able to trespass really easily.

I like it because it's easy to keep in contact with people and it's a good way to plan parties and events.

Honestly, I don't mind it too much; if I were making a movie or a TV show or whatever, I would see switching out the laptop prop with a Macbook as a simple way of getting a bit of extra scrilla in the budget for almost no loss. I don't like it when product placement is out of place (such as the...
