    Don't Want Windows 10? You Probably Downloaded It Anyway

    2015 will be the year of the Pengiun!!! All it took was Windows 10, now everybody will switch to Gentoo Linux! Cause everybody hates Ubuntu,...

    Star Trek Game "Emotionally Hurt" J.J. Abrams

    I thought the second film had a lot of potential. I liked concept of the villian's story arc, and I liked the movie until the villian showed up. The concept Spock and Uhura's relationship sounded like it would have made for a great subplot. Spock was far too emotional in this film. Vulcan...

    PC/Console gaming segregation

    A day late, and a dollar short, but that was pure win. This forum really needs a "like" button, or a "+1 Awesome" button. A question, does Steam now sell Handlebar mustaches for TF2? I've noticed they are now giving out "trading cards".

    PC/Console gaming segregation

    Must have been a rock solid 16 FPS. I ran with 16 FPS on Shattered Horizon. It was unplayable. I couldn't line up my shots before the enemy lined up their's. I run Crysis 2 on a Core 2 Duo, with a GT 240, I know what low frame rates are. When my rig drops below 18 FPS the game stutters...

    PC/Console gaming segregation

    We need to clear something up. 15 FPS minimum, or 15 FPS average? Most games have spikes that drop the frame rate by at least half. So a 15 FPS average frame rate means the game gets below 8 FPS when you need the frame rate the most. A 15 FPS minimum means the game normally averages...

    PC/Console gaming segregation

    Everybody has different needs when it comes to a gaming platform, and consoles and PC each have their own stengths. That said, I would consider the console to be inherently less powerful than the higher end PC's. Though the term "PC" gives no actual specification of power. Perhaps it can...

    Lesbian Marriage Too Tough For Batwoman, Authors Leave

    How many DC writers know how to write married crime fighters, or a crime fighter who is married? It simply be that so many comic book writers don't know how to write good married characters, and so DC wouldn't be able to get anyone to write for the book after they left in the future. They...

    Poll: Does online multiplayer make a game less appealing to you?

    Well, I voted yes. Due to real life, I neither desire, nor have the time to master games anymore, thus my skills are no longer on par. If a game has online multiplayer, it generally does not have local multiplayer, either split screen, or LAN. This does not mean I want online multiplayer...

    Grand Theft Auto IV Didn't Drive an 8 Year-Old to Murder

    I wouldn't call him ignorant, just stubborn. Otherwise I do agree with your harshly worded, but accurate statements about the ideas presented. The idea that "either the game is partially at fault, or the ratings system is pointless" is indeed backwards, and would indeed likely make anyone sick...

    Grand Theft Auto IV Didn't Drive an 8 Year-Old to Murder

    My point is that there was a reason why this little old lady kept the gun loaded and within reach. It may not be a good reason, but she had a reason. It is elementary deductive reasoning Mr. Watson. Why else would she keep the gun loaded? Why do people own guns? 1. For uses in...

    Grand Theft Auto IV Didn't Drive an 8 Year-Old to Murder

    Not simply because of this, no. If I were to ask you to carry a marble or bead, would you consider that difficult, or minor? Now if I were to ask you to carry two cotton balls in addition to the marble, would you consider that a difficult request to complete? Now if I asked you to carry 1...

    Grand Theft Auto IV Didn't Drive an 8 Year-Old to Murder

    At first glance it does appear to be nitpicky. However, further analysis of this mispelling indicates a lack of knowledge of the subject the officer was speaking on. How can one authoritatively speak on subject, if one doesn't know the first thing about it? It is possible that I am jumping...

    Grand Theft Auto IV Didn't Drive an 8 Year-Old to Murder

    An excellent example. Seatbelts save lives, and securing weapons save lives. Though both are a hassle, both should be done. Great ideas. I'm sure the NRA would agree with the cabinet/lock box idea. There is a problem with your solution here. Little old ladies, like the one in the article...

    Grand Theft Auto IV Didn't Drive an 8 Year-Old to Murder

    "Gun Control" is nearly the same thing this article was talking about, just in a different wrapping. "Gun Control" is simply "GRM". GRM = DRM. You're a gamer, you know what DRM is, you therefore know what GRM is. Why are you arguing for DRM? First of all is that "Gun Control"/"Gun Rights...

    Why Mass Effect 2 was, and is, the superior out of the Mass Effect trilogy. [No Spoilers]

    Scrapping them altogether seems a bit much, the Collectors actually do serve some plot functions other than Reaper builders. In ME1 Saren proposed a solution which doesn't really appear in the end of ME3. We saw what Saren was becoming, and the Collectors are a significant portion of a race that...
