    Ubisoft Online DRM: It's Worse Than Expected

    Well at least this means I won't have a hard time choosing which interesting games not to buy. Oops, I mean "rent", since that's what Ubisoft is really having people do.

    Mass Effect 2: The Drudgery of Scanning

    Even once I edited the games .ini to make the scanner go ~6x faster, and set maximum probes to 99 so that I didn't have to ferry myself back and forth to the refuel station after every system, that minigame was still frustrating and boring. Considering how miserable it was for me, I feel really...

    Poll: Are you dissapointed in the current generation of gamers?

    BAM! What was that noise? Oh, Whispering Death hitting the nail right on the head.

    Miss America Trash-Talks Videogames

    Honestly, I agree with her somewhat. Obesity in young kids is on the rise, because of bad food choices and a sedentary lifestyle. Young children should spend far more time playing outside than playing video games. Parents too lazy to raise their kids feed them crap and sit them in front of the...

    Why does everyone hate Alistair?

    I liked Alistair. Partly because he was a brilliant damage sponge when put in the best armor and given the fade shroud shield. He'd draw all of the enemies away while I killed them from behind. And he was funny sometimes.

    Dragon Age 2 Will Look "Super Hot"

    I don't really care if graphics are improved or not, but I really do not want cell-shading or a more stylized art style. Neither is remotely special or original any more, and Dragon Age just feels more real with a realistic art style.

    So... Where is Chicago Ted now?

    Chicago Ted actually originated from some real life graffiti in a men's room saying "No ***** is safe from Chicago Ted". The fact that none of the "bitches" mentioned would ever read this graffiti, since it was in a men's room, apparently escaped this great man. Now he's in video games. I wonder...

    Far Cry 3 Confirmed

    1: Make the enemy guard post respawn rate more reasonable (they respawn fastish if near to a city or large base, slower the further away they are, etc.) 2: Less malaria bullshit 3: Make it so that there's actually a faction system, and that infamy actually matters. (People treat you w/ more...

    MW2 on PC(From someone who has bought it and is playing it)

    The problem is, they are making extras. Creating a whole new matchmaking service for the PC takes more work than just setting up a dedicated server browser (and also prevents mods from working well). The leaning and 9vs9, ok, I can deal with having the same thing as consoles, since there's no...

    Poll: 3D games

    I really despise those glasses you need to wear, so no, I'll stick with current graphics given the choice. Smell sounds awesome until you realize that the predominant smell in many games would be "charred human flesh".

    8-year-old's Uzi death at gun show

    While your post does have some good points, I'm a bit confused here. You seem to be saying that only people who defend themselves against armed robbery with guns get shot. How come I hear about unarmed people getting shot in armed robberies then?

    8-year-old's Uzi death at gun show

    OK, I'm not even a gun owner, but saying the founding fathers didn't want individual citizens to be armed is just false (who do you think is in the militia?). A few examples: "Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...

    Modern Warfare 2 was...alright actually

    I will admit one thing: JTF-2 has one of the best mottos ever. Facta Non Verba (Deeds, Not Words) sums up what being a quiet professional is all about beautifully. OP- I'm glad that console MW2 is a good experience. Just don't try to tell me that the PC one is if you haven't played it.

    Mass effect 2 >:(

    Sadly, it looks like Garrus is only getting a cameo. He was my favorite party member, with his "Dirty Harry" rogue cop mentality. You could actually influence him as a character, unlike most of the other party members, and he had an awesome holomonocle. He and Wrex were pretty much the only...

    Modern Warfare 2 was...alright actually

    You can't compare Special Operations Forces. Ask any member of any one, and they will say that it's worse than comparing apples and oranges. SOF units have different roles: some are Unconventional Warfare-centric, some Direct Action, some Hostage rescue, etc. Even those that fill the same role...
