    Assassin's Creed III Dev Says Easy Mode Ruins Games

    Correct me if I'm wrong but if this happens, isn't it most usually because: A. The game mechanics (in this case cover shooting) are not well-implemented/useful to begin with or B. The people in charge of balancing difficulty didn't do a good enough job On the same topic, why cut off a...

    What is the difference between Art and Porn?

    I think Terry Pratchett summed it up best of all, in the Thud! novel: `Nude women are only Art if there's an urn in it, or a plinth.' (Wikiquote source [http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Discworld#Thud.21_.282005.29]) ... in all seriousness, I think it all boils down to the viewer's sensibilities.

    Why do you like the escapist?

    Can't for the life of me remember what my first visit was for, but I stuck around for one thing: Kick-ass community. Example: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.297469-Extra-Credits-Needs-Your-Help-Goal-Reached ...oh, all right, having the LRR crew on board with Unskippable et...

    Extra Credits Needs Your Help (+$60,000 Reached!)

    Something to the tune of $10k in about 2-ish hours if I'm not mistaken? Could only chip in a few myself, sadly, but I noticed a couple people donating $1000 each - it's things like these that show what the gaming community is really made of (hint: not the cash, d'oh); colour me proud by...

    5-Year-Old Breaks TV, Mother Murders Him

    Basic common sense, maybe... I mean, seriously though, what did she *think* would happen if she hit a 5 year old in the back/stomach repeatedly? Mind you, basic parenting would be nice to be taught, but this stuff's just... meh.

    Activision CEO Thanks EA for Raising Awareness of COD

    Quoted for truth, if this interview is anything to go by at any rate. Is that him pictured? If so, he even *looks* like a better choice for Activision's PR needs than Kotick.

    This WoW Infographic Presents Quite a Few Really Big Numbers

    Everyone's keen on these chart breakdowns lately, aren't they? Also, did someone really pay nearly $10,000 for a WoW account? That seems a bit... excessive.

    I kinda hate the term "ninja'd"

    I've always felt that a better term would be "pirate'd", I always thought they were more... appropriate to the subject matter somehow. ...what with all the felonies they're supposed to be a byword for...

    Best unscripted gaming moment you've had . . .

    Off the top of my head, any situation involving soldiers and grappling hooks in Just Cause 2. Though I'm sure at some point I'll remember something even more awesome...

    Most unintentionally creepy game you've ever played.

    Any of the recent Elder Scrolls games. Every single NPC looks like they're either soulless or robots. The stares.... THE STARES!

    Feed Dump: Mullet Bandit and the Blondes

    Good grief, "cowboy shots" certainly paints a weird mental image. A Google search didn't help either...

    Leaked Script Unveils Syndicate Reboot Details

    It was about time, I'm just crossing fingers that it won't go the X-Com route as this (and damn near every Bullfrog title from back in the day) is one of my favourite settings/franchises. ...although I'd settle for a good cyberpunk FPS if they promise not to name it Syndicate.

    Brace Yourself For The Baconing

    They had me at the premise; after all, there's very little that can top the (Bacon + Ron Gilbert + Video Game) formula in my world view. ...not to mention the sizzling sounds.

    Music Teacher Tosses Perfect Game, Wins a Million Bucks

    Definately a keeper, that one (that's the expression, aye?) - this world would be a far better place (optimistically, I'm trying to make a point here so shoo!) if there were more gamer couples like this one. ...Never been too keen on sports titles, I reckon I should give them another go now.
