    PETA: Bloody Mario Was 'Tongue-In-Cheek"

    *shrug* I thought it was pretty funny. I've stopped taking PETA seriously years ago so I don't expect anything that comes out of them to hold any real weight. I never saw any reason to get butthurt about it.

    Gambling Laws Could Halt Diablo 3's South Korean Release

    It isn't. If anyone tells you it is they're playing off of their own biases and fears without actually understanding the definition of the word.

    This is the most hilarious view of the RMAH I have read so far. Hats off to you sir!

    Gambling Laws Could Halt Diablo 3's South Korean Release

    Finally, someone else with a sensible view of things! It drives me crazy how it is such a common opinion that Blizzard is "money grubbing" and "greedy" simply because they made a decision that will net them more profit. Not to mention the lack of trust even though everything that has come out...

    Diablo 3 Earns 15 Rating in UK

    Relax dude, theres plenty of other news on the site to read if you don't find this article particularly interesting. No need to get riled up about it.

    Gambling Laws Could Halt Diablo 3's South Korean Release

    Suit yourself, I'm still playing and its going to be fun. Diablo 2 also boiled down to a grind in the end. Does that mean it wasn't fun before then? Absolutely not. Unfortunately the only way to give a game more self sustaining content after the life of the game should have met its end is...

    Gambling Laws Could Halt Diablo 3's South Korean Release

    How someone else has fun shouldn't affect how you have fun. Sure in an idealistic video game world the best of the best in our games should rise to the top and be praised because their epeen is the size of the empire state building! Honestly though, none of that matters. An...

    Gambling Laws Could Halt Diablo 3's South Korean Release

    The economy will be fine. Like Mr. Funk said, the real money market existed in D2 but people were still able to trade in game without touching the market if they didn't want (I know I did). The majority of people likely aren't going to use this feature and will be looking to trade the same way...

    EA Changes Origin Terms of Services, Forbids Class Action Lawsuits

    I think people are slightly overreacting to this. They're not taking away your right to take them to court, they're just taking away the right to create a lawsuit in which you attempt to represent a group of people larger than yourself. For example, that kid who got banned from XBL and tried...

    Zynga Profits Take a Beating

    Well its good to know they're not exploding as a company as much as they used to. Maybe in the coming months they'll start to decline. You can only exploit human psychology for so long before people get bored/tired of it and move on.

    Blizzard Cheekily Delays Diablo 3 to 2012

    Not surprised. I'll be happy to play it when it's ready.

    Diablo III Beta Now Live

    I think where we disagree is how to treat gold farmers. You think gold farmers are morally wrong and (exaggerating) should be burned at the stake. I think the issue is a lot more delicate than just what gold farmers represent. The best way to approach this topic is to determine exactly the...

    scam /skam/ Noun: A dishonest scheme; a fraud. There is nothing dishonest about what they're doing. They've told you everything up front before we even know the release date of the game. How can you just assume that big successful companies exist just to fuck their customers over...

    Diablo III Beta Now Live

    I think the main thing we disagree on about this point is Blizzard's motivation in the matter. You think they made this system to take advantage of people; I think they made the system to help protect people from scams. I dislike Zynga probably as much as you, however the comparison...

    Diablo III Beta Now Live

    I should be more clear on my stance on the issue as a whole. I personally agree with you on this point, I think buying power in games is pretty stupid and probably degrades the experience for those involved. However, I'm not being forced to use the system and because of the cooperative nature...
