Well, it is their security that got compromised. Secondly, your analogy is inaccurate. It would be more like hackers overwhelming the bank's systems hence the line moving slowly. As far as I understand they didn't kill anyone (you'd swear they did from some of the responses here). All people...

And you're right not to care. I don't understand why people are saying it's not Sony's fault. It is. They're making their customers suffer for their incompetence. They agreed to provide the service. I don't think they'd advertise that the service is unsafe and that your credit card details could...

Left 4 Dead 2, expert difficulty. You move slower when your health is below 40 and extra slow when it's at 1. If you're knocked down (incapacitated) twice and don't heal up the next knock down is fatal. I JUST finished a game where I was knocked down by a tank's projectile on my way to the...

While I can't comment too much about the first batch of responses, I must admit that I haven't met many women (or men for that matter) who complain if you hold the door open for them. I once saw a young woman decline a seat on the bus when a young man, who was looking to gain her favour, offered...

-walks in and picks up the mic- I live in South Africa Apartheid -drops the mic and walks out- Edit: Apologies for the wall of text. Feel free to skip to the last paragraph if you want to skip the history lesson about apartheid. Okay in all seriousness, racism never really died in...

Ah! Someone who makes sense, finally. Keep in mind, folks, that your grandmother playing solitaire on her single core, Windows XP machine is still considered "gaming". They tell you most of the gamers today are women, but until it's broken down (like xaszatm did) this doesn't mean the bulk of...

Yeah but...doesn't it make more sense to say "hey developer people, here's the architecture for our new console. Programme away. You have two years to make some killer titles for it"? I remember getting a demo disc with my Playstation 1. I bought at least three of the games that were from the...

There is a huge difference between an ideal and doing something in the name of that ideal. An ideal is just that, an ideal. Fighting an ideal is a war that can never end nor can it be won. Religions, politicians and feminists will all claim that something is unjust or unequal and proceed to use...

I don't know if that's all his fault. What's the point of releasing a console when there aren't any or many games to go with it? I don't think it's to a console's benefit that it means he has to wait 2 to 3 years for it to start getting good. Then why not release it just before those games are...

I work in the media and you'd be surprised how easy a story can be twisted to suit an agenda - or maybe you wouldn't be all that surprised. It happens all the time. The basic belief journalists have when starting in the media industry is that (assuming they work in news) they will be the voice...

Seeing as I am a Dead Space and Left 4 Dead fan...I would say Dead Space critters. The Left 4 Dead ones are just powerful and aren't that scary. Sure, you wouldn't want a Hunter on you, but they're really just mutants with weird abilities. In Dead Space, the necromorphs don't just beat you to...

Whew! I thought it was just me. Thanks for the tips floppylobster. I will give it another go. But I abused the power ups to survive and I see it wasn't just me. Now players seem to have to grind for coins (in survival) just to survive the main missions. I played through a Wild West level a...

I don't know how many of you have encountered the phrase "pay to win". I used to read this phrase a lot on Steam when users reviewed MMORPG games. They said the game would usually be fine until, say, level 50 when it got too hard and the only way to progress is by forking out actual cash to get...

Yeah but, that doesn't even make sense? Why pay for something just to complain about it? There are online reviews that will warn you before buying it. I bought The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing (1 and 2) and I am almost done with the first one. I say it deserved the 72/100 it got. It...

I like the analogy, but it is a bit off. In this case she took some of the cash used it for something else, but still didn't give him what he asked for. Sure, she said she was never going to give the car, but hell why did she take the cash then? She accepted his help when she was in trouble...
