Preposterous. Where were they when Germany had that whole film-tax loop-hole that allowed Uwe Boll to unleash his hellish visions upon theaters world wide?

From what I've played so far, Mer, it looks like you'll be getting your wish: the guy in that interview wasn't lying when he said there's nary a gun that takes more than six shots to drop a player. Gameplay feels a lot tighter and more intense, most noticeably in DM. I really liked UT2k4 for...

Reading over the article, LaRouche's stand on the whole issue seems to boil down to "the internet is a strange foreign place to me and I find it terrifying." Or maybe "the digital medium is new and alien, and as such is the work of the devil."

I'm sure I've read articles on this topic before, but it bears mentioning; is it not a case of arguing semantics when the difference between an M rating (17+) and an AO rating (18+) is only one year? Why is one side of the nearly-invisible line practically desirable, while the other a game's...

Do poutines count? Because they do have cheese on them. Cheese curds, anyways. And if they do then it's at a ski lodge in Camp Fortune.

This is just as good as I remember it. And I remember it fairly well since I kept listening to those twenty-some episodes and pretended they're about current events. Heh, built-in 'toe.
