Expecting the book to grasp you is kind of like putting the cart before the horse. The intellectual effort of grasping the BOOK is the enjoyable part. It's kind of like going to the gym and then complaining because the weight machines didn't grab you and make you cut with no further...

Oh, if you're inclined to do something positive about it, I encourage anyone with an Indian friend who is interested in this game to give them a hand in finding some way to obtain it anyway.

Apparently a ton of people in India who bought Dragon Age: Inquisition just got notices announcing that their purchase was canceled because the Indian government actually BANNED the game. According to people on the Bioware Forum, this ban was due to the positive portrayal of homosexuality in...

ALLOW?! So you're asking whether I'd rather play a Nazi in a game or become one in real life? Bleh, what a choice. I'm pretty sure games where you can take part in brutal expansionist conquest and genocide exist somewhere. Oh, wait, KotOR 2, where you play a character who personally led a...

I respect them as much as I respect anybody with a physically or mentally demanding job. Provided they aren't a slacker.

That, and there's a good chance the guy was part of plainclothes mall security or an off-duty cop or similar. Or, maybe he just bought it and was carrying it openly because he doesn't yet have a concealed-carry permit. Or, there's a shooting range nearby. Oh, and it's actually more common to...

Temple of Elemental Evil had the *most accurate* 3.5 combat by far. Too bad the rest of the game was so utterly whack. They're creating their own system though, aren't they?

I think this is AWESOME news, and with any luck this will free Obsidian from the publisher pressure that has probably contributed to if not outright created their bug/unfinished game problem! I hope contributors go on their forums and make it VERY CLEAR that REASONABLE DELAYS in the release...

That is WHAT THEY WANT. They WANT us to hate them as much as they hate us. This is what they LIVE for and what they imagine excuses their behavior--and they think, somewhere in their twisted little hearts, that it'll get them into Heaven. They don't want to live. They want everyone who does...

Marvel should file a countersuit claiming they were not reimbursed for the advertising value they provided. If Rimowa had ANY SENSE WHATSOEVER, they would not sue, they'd shout from the rooftops "HEY, WE MAKE THAT OSSUM CASE!!! COME GET A HIGH-QUALITY ONE!!!!!!"

If nothing else, easy mode helps people who want to get screenshots or similar. Lots of people play games for lots of different reasons--and the same person may have different goals at different times. They're more likely to keep gaming as a part of their lifestyle if games are flexible...

Mm, yeah, they should give refunds to the Korean gamers. And then delete their accounts.

Considering that almost all of my games are fantasy RPG's, I'd say YES. The only one I have that has Americans in it is . . . Fallout 3.

For me: 1. All that stuff you think is bullshit, actually is. Stop worrying about it and just ignore it. 2. Don't eat carbs. You'll spend the next 20 years sick as a dog if you do, thinking it's all your fault that you're fat and depressed and too tired to do anything. 3. Novel...

So you've never heard of, say, James Joyce? Haven't read Anathem by Neal Stephenson? (That book was chock-full of neologisms, to the point where sections could be nearly unreadable.) Heck, some fantasy authors positively revel in making up new words for no particular reason, and they often...
