    Who should Disney trust with Star Wars if they drop EA?

    Yup. Definitely. CD Project Red would absolutely kill it, if they got the chance to make a Star Wars game.

    What's Makes A Man/Woman?

    Honestly mate, it's as simple as this. Meat and two veg = Man Vagoo and ovaries = Woman On a slightly unrelated note, I will say, I was a bit miffed at the Austrian singer at the 2014 Eurovision song contest. Nothing to do with her being transgender (or drag. Actually I've no clue if...

    What Games have the best "Sense of Speed"?

    Portimao, or Algarve, a dear child has many names. (kinda like Sears Point/Sonoma/Infineon in the US) But yeah, that's definitely an example of a great GP track. And the Grid series has really nailed how to make everything from a FWD Golf or Focus ST, to a GT1 or LMP feel fast.

    What Games have the best "Sense of Speed"?

    The fun in Rallying, which is especially possible with DiRT 4's Your Stage, function, is that you don't actually know what's round the corner. You're completely reliant on your pacenotes (those fun, "4 left don't cut, 50 crest caution dip, going into 2 right", comments the co-driver gives...

    What Games have the best "Sense of Speed"?

    To me, that doesn't actually convey the sense of speed. Long straight wide roads merely cause high speeds to feel slower. I can go 350km/h down the roads of NFS Hot Pursuit, and not actually feel I'm going that fast. However, being on the edge of control, pushing your tires as much as...

    What Games have the best "Sense of Speed"?

    The DiRT series. Mostly because 50km/h on loose gravel is a lot more on the edge, than doing mach 2 in a jet.

    Why didn't people go see "Fantastic Beasts"?

    For the same reason people didn't go see King Arthur. They're pretentious twats who can't be bothered to see movies unless they're already denoted to be "teh artz" by the great priests of whatever movie reviewer.

    Things in media that scared you as a kid.

    This thing which featured for a glorious 2-3 seconds in the B monster movie, Hogath Hughes watches in The Boy and the Iron Giant scared the bejesus out of me as a 7 yeah old boy. I had nightmares of the thing. Big killer robot destroying cities, and nuclear weapons causing annihilation...

    Consumer rights: Updates that make a purchased game worse or completely break it.

    Well good luck. I hope that sometime in the future, you may get a proper consumer-advocates lobby-group into Congress to actually give the consumers a voice against the big corporate lobbyists who seem to be dominating everything in US legislature currently. Best of luck to ya.

    Consumer rights: Updates that make a purchased game worse or completely break it.

    "Except the game didn't have any faults when patched. Not working on the specific PC configuration #3e04dc929a14 isn't something wrong with the game;" In the eyes of European consumer protection laws, it very much IS something wrong with the game. I feel so sorry for you yanks, that...

    Consumer rights: Updates that make a purchased game worse or completely break it.

    Let's make another analogy. Your game is like your car, and the patch is like the car-maker doing a recall to fix some kind of flaw. Here in Europe (at least here in Denmark), if the car then came back with a fault it didn't have before the recall (say, the transmission now seizes up...

    So that whole "female main characters don't sell" bullshit

    Hello again, sorry for the interruption, but I think my spirited language may have brought on the wrath of the mods. I'll try to bring it down a peg or two. I don't want to convince you that you're stupid. Far from it. If anything I only wanted to help you not doing yourself a disservice...

    So that whole "female main characters don't sell" bullshit

    I tried to fix a few of what I assumed was mobile auto-correct induced spelling errors (please correct them, if I was wrong). Let's go through them, point by point. 1) You say you don't respect my opinion because I think they're stuck. I said, "Maybe, however, just because they're...

    So that whole "female main characters don't sell" bullshit

    Yes I do. Also, I'm not comparing those numbers. The Publishers are. Big difference. I'm just explaining how the conclusion is made from their point of view. As for your last quip. If you don't respect the opinions of, as you call them, "out of touch executives", they're sure as shit...

    So that whole "female main characters don't sell" bullshit

    Maybe, however, just because they're stupid doesn't give you carte blanche to be stupid. Personally I take "Female characters don't sell", as meaning "Main characters whose only special qualifier is their gender doesn't sell", because of cause they don't. If you set out making a character...
