    Please help an old and starving gamer

    The problem is that many games originally designed for consoles were also designed to be played with a controller. Many of them would not be playable with just a keyboard, and even K+M may require making adjustments. Especially since controllers have many analog features (stick and buttons) that...

    Blade Runner 2049 - A Great Too-Late Sequel?

    I recommend checking to see what kind of discount tickets are available. I know one theater chain that usually offers discount tickets to the first showing of the day, if it's before noon. They also do discount tickets all day Tuesdays. Of course, this is for non-3d, basic theater showings. And...

    There Were 215 New Games Released on Steam in the Last Week Alone

    The approvals went through, but many of those games probably weren't ready to be released... yet. We'll be seeing those games eventually crop up for years.

    There Were 215 New Games Released on Steam in the Last Week Alone

    It's probably just a flood of games from the last batch of Greenlight stuff that ALL got approved when Valve shut it down. That's right, apparently all Greenlight campaigns that were running when it was just down were given approval, regardless of how many votes a game may or may not have had.

    Problems with the new doctor

    Sydney Newman, one of Doctor Who's original creators tried to get the Doctor recast as a woman back in the 80's. This idea is not new. As long as the writing and acting is good, everything will be fine.

    Which one? There were two of them.

    G2A is Going to Force Key Sellers to Supply a Name and Address

    Actually, for services like this I would imagine that they would transfer your money to an actual bank account. Banks usually require verifiable information to set one up, and quite possible confirm whether information is valid when asked (i.e. G2A:"Is this their name/address?" Bank:"Yes" or "No")

    Valve Sets Steam Direct Publishing Fee at $100

    Except that Steam is apparently taking the Nerf bat to trading cards on new games. From the sound of it, nobody will be getting card drops until a certain number of copies are purchased through Steam. Once that threshold is reached, everyone who already owns and has played the game enough will...

    8 Great Games Every Star Wars Fan Should Have Played

    This obviously shows you've never played a Rogue Squadron game. While a couple of missions may have been railshooter-like, most put you into a combat zone and you were free to fly around it however you wanted too (short of flying away).

    The Fan-Made 2D Adaptation of Breath of the Wild Has Been Shut Down by a Copyright Claim

    Added bonus, even when it gets taken down from official sources it will already be on the torrent sites.

    You Now Need to Give Valve Your Telphone Number to Play DoTA 2

    True, but it's vastly more believable than the scenario you'll find people spouting off in the Steam forums about people hacking your Steam client to display hacked trade windows with false information about what items are being traded by both sides. That is the "reasoning" why we can't a a...
