    Violent Videogames Cause "Macbeth Effect"

    This article challenges my view that there is absolutely nothing wrong with violent videogames, so it's wrong and stupid, QED.

    Poll: How do YOU pronounce FAQ?

    When you use a lot of acronyms, you start to sound like an idiot when you actually spell them out. High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMVE)= Hum-vee Government Purposes(GP) = Jeep Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus (SCUBA) = Scu-ba Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air...

    THQ Impressed by 3DS Anti-Piracy Tech

    Games aren't free to make, ya know. They don't just pop into existence on the whim of their designers. You pirates just keep taking money from the devs if you like, but remember that you are in fact taking money from people who have produced something you want. They may not produce it again if...

    Assassin's Creed Pirate Gets a Slap on the Wrist

    Probably not. But there probably wouldn't be such insanely heavy DRM either. Also, 70,000 fewer people I need to hate.

    Have you ever tried to make a game harder for yourself?

    I love playing through the FEAR games on Hardest difficulty without ever using slo-mo. The firefights are really fast that way. I also played through Mirror's Edge without killing anyone (toss guns away upon disarms, no kicking off edges, etc). I'm a courier, not a murderer.

    Depressing situation "Updated"

    I don't know you, but I know that everyone needs a friend sometimes. For what it's worth, I hope you stop worrying too much about things. Everything works out the way it should in the end. The stress of school really builds up after a while, and things are bound to pile up sooner or later. You...

    248: A Master Craftsman

    I've actually used that before, but found it too slow and unwieldy for regular use. I also don't like the idea of paying money to do something I could do free elsewhere. :P Thanks though!

    248: A Master Craftsman

    I would buy SC2 in a minute if it had LAN support. As it stands, I won't be able to play it because my college blocks the gaming ports on campus.

    Your first gun

    My first rifle was a .22 given to me when I turned 14, but the first gun I bought for myself was this beauty: And to ward off the oh-so-enlightened idealists, I make no claim that it's for self-defense; it's purely for fun.

    Booth Babe Boobs Get Booted

    Booth babes: The public's affirmation of the "sexist gamer culture". Reaction of most posters in this thread: Proof of the inherent sexism in the 18-35 male gamer demographic. Way to fit the stereotype, guys.

    Is it Time for a Halo Movie ?

    It'd be such a unique concept, too! "A gravelly-voiced masked space marine shoots aliens. Now with 50% more pseudo-religious bullshit!"

    Poll: Ghosts.

    Actually, the burden of proof lies with you, since you're making the claim of existence. Got any links to these "scientific" theories?

    Poll: Man, Fuck Realism

    People should really stop referring to GTA, Battlefield, CoD, and GR:AW when talking about realism. There's a big difference between "realistic" (verisimilitude if your a literary nerd), and "based on a real thing." Yes the CoD games are based on real conflict, but they are not "realistic"...

    Roguelikes - Just pretend that 'r' is a rat

    Ancient Domains of Mystery [http://www.adom.de/], or ADOM for short, is one of the best there is. Overworld, quests, towns, NPCs, multiple dungeons, interesting stories, plenty of artifacts and lore to discover, etc etc. This is certainly a must play for any rogue-like enthusiast.
