    Wait...What do you mean you don't speak *insert language here*

    What do you call a person who speaks three languages? Trilingual What do you call a person who speaks two languages? Bilingual What do you call a person who speaks one language? American My point is that this whole "you need to assimilate" attitude in the US is just missing...

    Good Samaritan Being Sued

    That article really pissed me off. I think I have emotional damage as a result of how pissed I am. Therefore, I am going to sue the original poster for damages.

    To those who still play WoW.

    To address the fun factor stuff... I have to say that the additions in the new expansion have made it a LOT more single-player friendly. It seemed to me that I went through most of the starting areas without having to group with anyone. Instances are also a bit shorter, making the...

    Is a lack of a review on release a bad sign for a game? (Tomb Raider)

    I just don't understand how it is acceptible for them to put pressure on reviewers to keep their reviews until later? And it IS pressure from the sounds of it. There seems to be this implied feeling that failure to comply with these requests could meant that the game reviewers can get...

    Is a lack of a review on release a bad sign for a game? (Tomb Raider)

    Well damn... I guess it WAS a bad sign: http://www.videogaming247.com/2008/11/21/uk-tomb-raider-underworld-reviews-under-810-silenced-until-monday/ Linked from the Penny Arcade commentary on then evident fact that Edios was actively trying to talk game-reviewers into postponing their less...

    Illegal downloading is not theft - its something new

    Meh to this argument. You are just splitting semantic hairs. I bet if a criminal stole your identity and "downloaded" all the money out of your bank-account into his you'd be much less concerned about whether to call it "theft" or not. Bottom line, you get someone that ordinarily costs...

    Do we know the final game is actually like that? As opposed to just the demo?

    Is a lack of a review on release a bad sign for a game? (Tomb Raider)

    Hmm... I'll have to fire up the demo on the Xbox and see. I gave the Steam one a try, it looked amazing, but the controls on the PC are kind of crap. I played the original on the PS1, so I'm kind of partial to controllers for Tomb Raider...

    Is a lack of a review on release a bad sign for a game? (Tomb Raider)

    So, I was kind of curious about the new Tomb Raider and can't help notice that there aren't any reviews out. Mind you this isn't a unique situation, but I was wondering if games are like movies in that publishers won't send review copies ahead of time to the main game sites/magazines if they...

    You Pc users and your knives.

    Hmm, neither I nor any of the folks I know who could be considered PC gamers have knives on our desks... it is an odd thing... maybe it has more to do with a particular geographic location (middle america maybe?). Not a clue...

    Obama Wins!! (moderator supported thread)

    You know, there are a lot of misinformed people in this thread. First of all, America BARELY elected Bush, in fact, some argue that the election was very suspect in both cases. In fact Gore won the popular vote (meaning he got more raw votes, but didn't carry the right states to get the...
