    Jimquisition: Salt Of The Earth - A Steam Fail Story

    The fact there's no easy refund, no 'early access' refund (hohoho) is the real crime here. It's just not good enough Valve doesn't offer this.

    Jimquisition: Buyer Beware

    I did do a post where I stated my dislike for the Steam Episode, but not really for the 'Caveat Emptor' reason but because I don't think any one or many people should be able to exclude a game because they think it is unworthy. I would have to say I mainly disagreed on the basis that I am a fan...

    World of Warcraft what do you like about it and why?

    This so far is the most direct and on-point reason I've read so far on what is wrong with WoW. I'd only add that there's a lot more really obvious and obtrusive mechanics now that remove any choice beyond raiding (I'm referring to dailies, weeklies, gear islands, currency limits etc). Lots of...

    Jimquisition: Gamer Entitlement

    Gotta admit, I thought Jim and anyone who agreed with his argument that Steam should better police what games they let into their shop as being very entitled. I mostly agree with Jim's opinion but that one seemed very wrong to me. That 'only GOOD or what I consider complete games should be on...

    Australia Uses Harsh Graphic Novel To Ward Off Refugees

    Pretty sure the government doesn't listen to anyone, they just pretend to for votes. Having said that Australia and a significant enough portion of Australians are racist bogans. I suspect the anti-immigration policy is financially motivated.

    Escapist Expo: I?m Mad about X: What?s Wrong with Gamer Culture

    Did you watch the video? All it takes is a dismissive comment to the outrageous youtube video that DESERVES IT, or even just a thumbs down. By being silent/indifferent as is mentioned in the talk, you essentially become party or compliant in the wrongdoing. There is no impartiality. By being...

    South Park As A Gated Community

    This always happens, I keep coming back to this post because I'm baffled at the random political rants. Seriously, I don't what sort of person would go on a rant about how one side of a government/whatever is evil. Perhaps it's because I live in Australia and the most emotion I tend to find...

    Microsoft's Harrison: It's Not The Gigaflops, It's The Games

    Personally, I enjoy a good witch hunt, especially a well deserved one. Even if Xbox One was an amazing console with the best console games on it I wouldn't buy it, on principle. The amount of news, the amount of problems, the amount of BS spouted out from M$ and the dismissive nasty nature of...

    Jimquisition: Vertigo

    Really the Hollywood movie industry has much the same problem, I went through my entire collection of DVDs and I had some specific rules: a - The most interesting/strong role must have been played by a women b - The character must be unique and interesting c - She has to be the defining...

    Jimquisition: To Play The Villain

    Personally just not that interested in playing a true villain, just because generally villains are completely unlikable and therefore boring. If I don't like the character, why am I playing the game? This is the problem I had with the Saints Row games, and such. The good guy is nice and the...

    WHITE GUY DEFENSE FORCE GO!

    Huh, so we're back to anyone who didn't like the comic did not realize they're hypocrites, and isn't it funny the politically correct crowd turn out to be offended by this comic? I think the comic is good, I think the meaning is fine, it's the pigeon holing EVERYONE who doesn't like into the...

    Anita Sarkeesian "I'm not a fan of gaming" leaked 2010 video reveals

    This thread should be locked, that she does/doesn't love gaming... who cares??? She could have said she hates anchovies and all of a sudden she does a video on the health benefits and delicious taste of anchovies, she's suddenly a monster! People need to separate the person from the...

    Gabe Newell Says Linux Is "The Future Of Gaming"

    'Too Hard' = 'Too Expensive to be worth it' Face it: Linux is another entire platform to be optimised for and the amount of users are NOT worth spending the time effort and money to bother with. Also talking baout creative driven medium are you telling me all developers in the movie industry...

    WHITE GUY DEFENSE FORCE GO!

    This basically sums up how I feel about the facebook and the forum comments. I always find people who are 'what's the big deal?' to be shameful, it's closed minded. It isn't any different than saying someone's going to hell for not believing in your god/no god exists. Or demanding the world is...
