No, I'm pretty sure your experience is more related to you reaching Origin tech support at a bad time. They've sold like a billion games in two days and not so much as received a penny for it. And as a counterpoint, let me share with you a story I've had with Origin tech support: I once...

I can keep driving about in petrol cars then? Awesome.

So is Twitch.tv now like the new NASCAR? "Hey, what game is that?" "I don't know, I'm just hoping the streamer does something stupid." "You could at least be watching a pretty girl then."

If you have PSN+ and an extra two bucks, I would say spring for Tokyo Jungle. Fantastic little game.

So you're attempting to frame everything through scholarly academia, where everybody has a degree in anthropology, history and religious studies. And that's fine and all. And I'm attempting to approach this from a natural, realistic point of view of an average person. And you're telling me...

And does not preclude others from gathering a meaning from it. Never read a Harry Potter book ( again, universal yardstick )? No problem. Magic happens at a place called Hogwarts. Magic also happens outside of Hogwarts too. Now you know something about Harry Potter. Yes, I know that is a...

Oh, hey, always avoiding my point. Slippery man, you. I lump all those texts together and treat them as fiction. I am my own man. Oh, hey, one of your badges is a picture of Solid Snake. TELL ME ALL ABOUT HIM. IS HE DATING ANYBODY?! HOW MANY DUDES HAS HE SHOT?! HOW OLD IS HE?! WHAT...

So I'm not permitted to glean any type of understanding, or anything, period because I'm not part of an exclusive club? Awesome. No, not really. I have like a dozen mini-Bibles, one or two actual Bibles and a Book of Mormon somewhere in my house. All given to me for free! A lot of those...

Oh, my bad. The first chapter is like a prayer. There's seven verses. On the website, it is exactly one page. Immediately after that is the second chapter, which I mistook for the first chapter because the first chapter was so brief. But that still all within the first six pages so I'm not...

Have you read the Quran? Because I read the first chapter off: http://www.alislam.org/quran/search2/showChapter.php?ch=2&verse=11 last night. First six pages pretty much is a nonstop tirade segregating 'non-believers' and 'believers' ( a nice way to say a lot of name calling ): they are...

It's funny you say this, because just yesterday, my little brother was telling me how he read part of the Quran or whatever. Some guys forced one on him while he was on campus or something. It's in my room right now. It's super tiny. Maybe less text than the first Harry Potter novel ( as...

If Islam were a corporation, I would tell them to fire all of their PR guys. -- Edit Are you kidding me? My game loads before I can hit post, so I wait like five minutes, and now there's a post about Muslim PR right above mine. Now I look like a copycat. MY RIGHTEOUS OUTRAGE MUST BE...

Oh deary me, you've broken the cardinal rule. Please repeat after me: "correlation does not equal causation." Not only that, but your source appears to have an agenda and used a non-scientific polling method ( "Please respond truthfully, because if you don't, well, we can't do anything to...

So you're saying to censor all of it? That's a severe overreaction. A list of Holocaust victims is just a list. The intentions of those who use that list is altogether different. Its just like whether revealing clothing is exploitative or not. Wasn't there just a thread on that? The...

The original Lara Croft was originally intended as a buxom, big-tittied beauty ( yay, alliteration ) that men would want to protect. I heard that in a Tomb Raider retrospective that I believe originated from GameTrailers. Supposedly, those are the words of the creators, but I can't personally...
