As someone who actually LIVES in the Greater Boston area... we are almost universally appreciative of the way the Boston Police Department and other various first responders handled this event. Allow me to remind you all that this was taking place not FOUR DAYS after the bomb blasts at the...

The real sin the game committed here (for me) is they let you snoop around and figure out exactly what was coming, but then didn't let you use the information to your advantage at all. They're going to kill me? They just invited me to a party for drinks? Gimme a minute to swing by Piero's...

The main thing that pushed the original ending over the edge for me was the insinuation that we were actually blowing up all the Relays, and by extension obliterating the solar systems they were next to. Just taking that away, making the repair job to get the entire universe connected again a...

I'm planning to play both. It looks like I'll have more fun exploring GW2, but more fun actually killing things in Tera. But then I'm a lifelong tank, and playing a Lancer in Tera is like actually fucking tanking things. I love it so much. It's not going to be for everyone... it feels very...

I guess there I'd take issue with calling anyone who throws down the money to play World of Warcraft a "non-gamer", aside from the extreme example of people who have never owned a console or installed a game on their PC trying it out for the first time. By the time they've played a month or...

I disagree with this. The only thing that's kept World of Warcraft "chugging along" for this long at this point is inertia, plain and simple. For a long while, they were the best product on the market. During that time they built up 7+ years of content and a truly massive player base who have...

By no means was it the worst game of all time. (Superman 64 however... you've had your head checked since then, I trust? I hope?) What it was, was a bland, repetitive, kinda boring modern style FPS, which was massively disappointing. It could have been ok if they'd done something interesting...

Yeah, I'm done. Canceled my sub weeks ago, it runs out in October, and I'm not seeing anything that warrants me renewing. I barely play anymore and when I do, it's just not fun anymore. Looking forward to testing the MMO waters next year, Guild Wars 2 in particular, though Tera Online looks...

Yes, this is the eventual future. That future is also still something like 20-30 years down the road. Forcing it on people early is a dick move, plain and simple.

Just recently canceled my subscription. My paid time will run out in October. There's just nothing new or interesting to do anymore. The one PvE instance I haven't completed doesn't look interesting enough to shop for another guild, audition for a current raiding slot and commit to 3-6 hours...

Didn't drink coffee until I was 17. Then I got a job at a Starbucks. Changed that right quick. Used to drink lattes and frappuccinos all the time depending on the weather, but... it left a mark. Still trying to lose the weight I gained while working there. (You get free drinks on shift, 1...

Never have, never would, understand why it happens but stay way the hell away from people who do it. Much happier playing with cool people who happen to be dudes or ladies than any number of outspoken "girl gamers" who try and be girls first, gamers second.

Any CONSTANT companion I brought with me would probably get a bit grating after a couple centuries. So a better deal would be to bring someone to focus on getting the human race on a better footing out of the gate while I go around seeing the sites, meeting people and molding the world in my...

It's only unsettling with the music playing in the background... honestly, the way it's limping and how fast it's moving, seems like it'd be very easy to dodge, trip and break something to keep it from getting back up.

The lunar colonies. I can already imagine hearing the justification for launching nukes as long as they're not detonating inside the earth's atmosphere.
