    Swatter Arrested, Could Face Five Years in Prison

    I have to agree, up until this point there has been serious luck on the side of the SWAT teams that they have not killed an innocent. No officer in any civilised country really wants to pull the trigger if its avoidable; they pull the trigger and people turn on them, the news swarm. The...

    Darkest Dungeon Preview - That Escalated Quickly

    This game is unforgiving!!!! Here are the two mistakes that forced a restart: 1) Hitting the WRONG button. When I was playing the first character I had the choice to FEED or STARVE and I hit STARVE. Result total party wipe on the first mission. 2) Going into a mission, kitting out...

    PSN And Xbox Live Are Experiencing Major Outages - Update 2

    I think they may be finished. If Finest Squad's information is true and they know exactly where these people are, the FBI will deal with them and, as its a terrorist act they will not care about how old they are... Worst still for them, some family members have been named as well. One of...

    Computer Program ANGELINA Enters Game Into Online Contest

    An algorithm that was created by someone to create a game... this appears new on the surface, the idea that a computer can design a game and make sure that it is fully functioning appears ground breaking. It is an evolution however of randomly generated games where the maps have to follow a...

    Escapist News Now: Bravely Default Censored in Western Market

    This is actually to comply with culture... The Legal Age of Sex in Japan is 13 which is why, in theory, they can get away with some of the amines and video games coming out of Japan have more younger sexual images. In Western Countries the average age of consent is 16-18 and bringing the age up...

    Report: Steam Allows Publishers To Crack Down On Cross-Region Gifting

    OK, here goes Opinion 1. The real problem is that although the internet is a free market; the problem is they are played physically in a space in a country; as such Valve has to operate with the laws in the physical markets, which means, with the exception of the EU free market, that each has...

    Jimquisition: Copyright War

    I think the point Jim made is actually a valid one at the end. Market forces dictate how people operate. If there is fear of playing a game because they are concerned that they will be unfairly receiving a strike, then they will choose not to play or promote them. So who will be left and...

    Day One: Garry's Incident Developer Copyright Claims Critical Video

    How long does it take for YouTube to remove a complaint? Just checked TB's website and it was still hidden from searches.

    Day One: Garry's Incident Developer Copyright Claims Critical Video

    I've just had a long conversation with a friend about this video. The only relevant factor is the email exchange, if they did agree to this what went wrong in between?

    Movie Defense Force: Repo! The Genetic Opera

    When Jim released the first episode with the full MDF animation (including the critic with a bonfire) I was curious to know why he chose Repo to be on the bonfire. I've listened to the songs and I'm impressed by the songs alone (excluding '17' of course). Its left me annoyed that in the UK I...

    Jimquisition: I'm Going To Murder Your Children

    Unfortunately whether we like it or not, this vocal minority is the reason why gaming as an industry is not entirely taken seriously. We can attack the developers as much as we like about their decisions and how they are ruining the industry but there is this vocal minority that can dictate...

    Jimquisition: Go Fish

    Jim Figure out a new name for this style of show and do it. Being honest about your situation and your past experiences from within the game industry, get special guests in etc. This side of you is worth letting off leash more often. The thing I've learned recently is that tit for tat...

    Reseting the Internet

    OK just seen this post... http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.822793-UKs-block-on-internet-pron-what-do-you-think?page=1 ... it got me wondering, if the Internet was restarted, what should be done to prevent the internet from becoming a target for everyone? For example, what...

    UK's block on internet pron: what do you think?

    OK perspective from the UK. We in the UK REACT not ACT, well at least the politicians do at least. Right now in the UK the current party is in trouble with a very uncomfortable position in the polls due to the economy and the public's anger towards being in the European Union which we were...

    Weapon degradation in games

    For and against... survival horror is a definite yes, fear of losing a weapon and being helpless can make a horror game even scarier. RPGs maybe, depends on how the derogation is used and how fast it is. Too fast and it makes a game impossible and makes it a chore. Action games, no...
