The only shock about this article is the author didn't reach this point months ago like the rest of us. On the bright side torchlight 2 seems set to release soon so yay..

Well in Australia right now we have a woman and an atheist prime minister... Not sure about a homosexual one; we may have had one already and not known... who knows..

I've read alot of these posts claiming you are not free if you ban hate speech... Well my country of Australia is by no means utopia however I would not consider myself free in any sense of the word if I lived in a country that tolerated hate speech. Definitely not free from bigotry...

Because its fun, provides a feeling of freedom and escape, is an evolved gaming experience and has dragons. Considering the OP hasn't played any elder scrolls games, maybe he should play just one before comparing any of the series to a zelda game (kinda insulting given the difference in...

So like most of you I've noticed this horrible CSS bug that resulting in the normal escapist layout changes to muck up the layout and put horrible white whites all over the screen. I figured it would be resolved soon but the problem just hasn't gone away yet.. I wonder when they will fix it to...

I agree completely. Personally I'm not saying either pre owned games are unethical or outside of moral questions at all. I have opinions on that which I wont get into. What I am saying is if you claim piracy raises an ethical question preowned games raises the same ethical question. With...

Hmm I cant comment on where you live; but here in Australia (which usually get the raw deal) you can return any game within 7 days of purchase. That said as I buy all my games from steam now it doesn't matter.. As for Skyrim I feel for you its a great game; just a shame it doesn't get the same...

If there is a bug (which to be honest is highly unlikely that it wont be patched but ok) it should be patched. If you just dont like it buy from a retailer like eb games which allow returns for refunds in the first week.
