Correcting an erroneous fact in an article isn't nitpicking. It's something the author and editors should be doing, especially since that's their damn job.

I don't know how Canada acquired the reputation of being laid back and friendly and nice. They've got serial killers, school shootings, corrupt politicians, racism, and murder just like the rest of the world. In fact, some woman was just murdered while she was talking on her webcam the other...

I finally got around to playing Final Fantasy VI last year after about a decade of hearing about how great it was and I was sorely disappointed. The plot is basically Star Wars and there are MANY allusions to Star Wars as well, some subtle, some not so subtle. There was even a monster in the...

I've seen several gameplay videos and it looks just as mind-numblingly boring as the first two games. Take a few steps, get surrounded by monsters, click on them, watch them explode, repeat a million times. I've never understood the appeal of those games. I played the first two and thought...

My whole family is Obsessive Compulsive to varying degrees, myself included. I used to be a "100 percenter". OCD makes you want to collect things. We get a tremendous sense of satisfaction when we get a complete set of something and a tremendous sense of failure when we can't. For example...

I will never, as long as I live, understand why Bioware gets so much love. It's one of the greatest mysteries of Life to me. I can't even begin to fathom it and just thinking about it makes my head hurt. I've played Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate 2, Planescape: Torment, Icewind Dale...

It gives you OOOOOOOOO!!!!

"I respect Sony's decision to try to remunerate the developers who have been working The Agency for at least 4 years, possibly much longer. Any company must make tough decisions if it is to survive, and it couldn't have been easy for SOE President John Smedley to pull the trigger on dumping...

Looks like it's not only true, but they canceled "The Agency" as well. That's a shame. The game looked interesting. Apparently, the new Planetside is still going. http://ps3.ign.com/articles/115/1158571p1.html

I wear one and I'm not old. I wear it so I know what time it is. Only morons make generalistic assumptions and make stupid polls.

One of my brother's friends loaned him the Sega Genesis version of Starflight back in '93. We couldn't wait to play it. We were on our way to our Genesis when the Blizzard of '93 hit and our power went out for seven days. I spent seven days reading the manual of that game dying to play it...

I'm 99% sure that in the comics, the Red Skull got hit in the face with some chemical that turned his skin red and tightened his flesh to the point that his head looked like a red skull. Maybe there's a new Red Skull that just wears a mask or the retconed him (I wouldn't put that past Marvel)...

I knew a guy that had some and he said that they're nocturnal and would make a lot of noise when he was trying to sleep. Also, I've heard that they like to steal things and hide them. I've heard of them hiding people's shoes and jewelry. Ferrets are related to skunks, which is why they stink...

Arena Net offically announced the Thief and some other sites are putting up articles. There's a good one at Massively and a really good one at IGN with more videos. In some of the videos, you can see air elementalist skills being used. IGN link...

It is the Thief. It's pretty much the assassin. They shadowstep and can stealth for a limited amount of time. Stealth makes them look like the Predator. They can also steal something from their opponent which gives the thief a 'weapon'. In the video, the thief stole a handful of feathers...
