    Drop The SOPA

    My representative in the house of reps supported SOPA, does that mean you will assume I supported SOPA?

    Study Claims Anti-Game Research More Reliable

    Gamers need to take off the blinders and realize that OF COURSE violent games can cause a behavior change in its consumers, its common sense that it would. Sure we haven't raised one child in a test tube, raised its clone in another test tube, and had the ONLY difference between them be whether...

    WoW to Introduce Weekly Guild Challenges

    I'm really concerned that all these guild-leveling features are going to get completely ignored in a few years when every guild is level 25, and if you want to start a new guild, the only way to get off the ground is to buy an old guild and pay for a name change :\ Knowing Blizzard though...

    I think in God Emperor of Dune, at the end he dies after falling? It's been so long I forget.

    Beavis and Butthead to Take on YouTube, Jersey Shore

    Sounds like I'll be better off watching The Soup, since it already does this job superbly. I can't imagine MTV doing it better. Will give it a chance tho :)

    Over 65,000 StarCraft 2 Maps Uploaded to Battle.net

    Defense of the Ancients which spawned a whole new genre and a position at Valve for one of its creators. AFAIK Icefrog is not one of the original creators, he is just the current maintainer. Even the "original" folks, Guinsoo and Pendragon, weren't the "creators", since it's all based on a...

    World of Warcraft Scams Explained Through Infographic

    While a goldselling website might try to keep its name clean by always delivering gold as promised, it doesn't mean they aren't acquiring that gold fraudulently, eg by hacking other accounts and stealing it. So even if you yourself aren't being negatively affected by the purchase, you are...

    Stolen Pixels #231: The History of Civilization, Part 2

    I've tried a few times with friends. Never versus each other, only us versus the computer. I haven't done this yet with Civ5, but in Civ4, it ended up running really slowly, so I largely gave up on multiplayer. I'm not sure if we ever actually made it through an entire game, since usually...

    Stolen Pixels #231: The History of Civilization, Part 2

    Sadly, such fanboys obviously never heard Sid Meier talk about game design and Civilization. He's specifically stated that if you keep adding features, after a few iterations you would have a game so complex that no new people can ever play it, because there's too much to learn. So while he...

    BioWare Mythic Man Pushes EA Into Re-Releasing Original Wing Commander

    Hopefully they will fix the timing :D I actually managed to get my original WC copy running on a modern computer somehow, and apparently the timing was based on how fast your computer was. Fast computer = everything happens near INSTANTLY. I managed to get into a ship to fly around and was...

    Managing Problems and Players

    Yeah mine have all been very collective. I would think individualist would be pretty rough on the DM, since PCs would often get split up and have to have their own separate story going.

    Managing Problems and Players

    It should be pretty easy to avoid this situation and keep with the rules... I don't know about other versions, but here's a bit from the pathfinder rulebook: "The three evil alignments are usually for monsters and villains. With the GM?s permission, a player may assign an evil alignment to...
