    You're at the Heart of A Machine For Pigs

    A Machine For Pigs sounds like the album title for a metal band. I've heard that some of the game takes place outdoors, which is definitely a welcome change from worming around in a creepy claustrophobic medieval castle. The game is set in 1899 (30 years after TDD), which brings it more in...

    White People! Are you offended being called a "Cracka"?

    Nope, nor do I share this 'white guilt' flu that's spreading. Just like a sane person doesn't take credit for fighting wars their grandfathers were in, I don't take credit for my white trash honky paleface powdered wig ANGLO-SUXON ancestors capturing, beating and starving people of different...

    Competitive Gamer Arrested For Hitting Ex-Girlfriend

    This whole scenario is crazy. It's like they acted out the script to a reality TV show but there were no cameras around. Who knew the competitive gaming circuit was just like Jersey Shore?

    Games With Gold: Too little, too late

    Ouch. Yea, some of those comments make my thread look like... a gentle lashing in comparison. I don't hate MS, but I'm seriously starting to wonder who's charge of their marketing division, and how they decide to throw out their offers/deals. When I read that PS+ members get Sleeping Dogs (a...

    Games With Gold: Too little, too late

    Good eye. Just a tad suspicious that the promo link is now 404. What they ought to do is have people vote on games from a list. The one that receives the most votes will be first for the month, then the one in 2nd place will be next.

    Games With Gold: Too little, too late

    UPDATE Xbox Live appears to have pulled Games With Gold. As of this writing, all traces of the promotion have vanished. There is no mention of any giveaway for this month. Poof. Gone. Microsoft can't even deliver on their own lackluster promise, thus I won't be renewing my Gold service if...

    Why do so many people like Mincraft?

    It jumped to one of my all-time favorite games when I figured out how redstone circuits work. Minecraft is one of those "It's better together" games, where having your friends along makes everything funny and interesting. I started on PC then bought it for the 360, though if I were asked...

    Games With Gold: Too little, too late

    This is the same attitude Adam Orth had shortly before he found himself out of a job. Good luck in the real world, where being a condescending prick gets you nowhere.

    Adam Orth To Give Speech On Online Toxicity

    That's what scares me about these situations: People are simply looking for someone to blame. Orth and Mattrick come to represent key figures in an evil empire out to drain our wallets and betray our trust. Don't you ever feel like gamers are just a little too happy to start screwing someone's...

    Games With Gold: Too little, too late

    That whole mindset is bullshit. If complaining makes me look immature, so be it. Because at the end of the day, all these 'crying children' are getting a lot more positive results than your passive-aggressive, shrug-and-do-nothing 'mature' approach. According to your wisdom, no one should have...

    Games With Gold: Too little, too late

    By the way, that's the funniest thing anyone has ever said to me on here. It's even funnier when you read that last part out of context.

    Games With Gold: Too little, too late

    Hey SAI, I don't remember the part where i said it was life or death. you're the one who brought guns into the scenario. >=/ I don't feel I'm owed anything. Be for real, are you in charge of Xbox Live? Because the level of offense you've taken to me badmouthing Xbox Live far exceeds what I...

    Games With Gold: Too little, too late

    Ah. See, I didn't know that. I'm not 100% sure but I think Xbox Live lets you download your game library even if you're still a Silver member. Everything I used to play on my old hard drive shows up in the buy screen as "Download Again", so it seems to keep a history of what you purchased on a...

    Games With Gold: Too little, too late

    By comparison, my refrigerator only costs $158 a year to run. Which do you think pays for itself more? Hint: The one that preserves food. I think you're confusing 'mandatory' with 'blackmail'. No, nobody forced me to sign up for Gold at gunpoint. However, seeing as I've already mentioned my...

    What is Love to YOU?

    Totally. Love is sacrifice for someone else's sake. I watched my friend go through boyfriends like lightbulbs until she went to college, where she met an awesome guy. I know he's awesome because I hang out with him and all three of us play Borderlands together; we even do this stupid tri-fecta...
