You may have a point if the child was alone with the game. Fortunately, she was not, and it is clear that the father was not only supervising but went on to clarify with the child her experiences afterwards. This is what people mean when they talk about good parenting. It's not about...

Jim, I will never sleep soundly again.

This is not entirely correct, and needs explanation: (Emphasis mine.) He only gave authorization to use a specific payment method. This payment method is not tied to any sort of account beyond the "billing account" established in the Terms of Use. If Microsoft has a defense, it probably...

I found someone who is distressed by clowns. Where do we line up to sue?

The problem with LulzSec is that they act very close to the most destructive way possible. Embarrassing companies is one thing, but doing so by dumping all over their customers and everyone who happens to be close by is another. You don't point out security holes in an apartment complex by...

One thing that I see overlooked (and this review is no exception) is that there's actually two class systems to Brink - the "class" and the "body type". The body type determines health, weapon types, and maneuverability whereas the class determines how you interact with your teammates, enemies...

Yeah, there was a lot about CoD4 that I really liked, but I haven't bought a CoD game after that because I decided to try my best to avoid giving Activision any of my money. I don't think I'm poorer for the decision. Word on the street is that they're degrading in quality anyway, but I have...

For what it's worth, it's super easy to fool IP-based geolocation. It's incredibly unreliable.

I withdraw my comment upon further review.

But then buying a candy bar for $1 or a pack of peanuts for $0.50 are not a microtransactions while spending $5-15 on virtual stuffs is?

This guy is dismissing the complaints out of hand. He says nothing of the terrible and destructive relationship it maintains with its studios and the franchises it controls. These reactions are not "knee-jerk".

I am reminded of the church event in Left 4 Dead's Death Toll campaign, where another "survivor" makes trouble for the group by calling the zombie hordes.

That's not a bug. Meleeing someone who is grabbed by a smoker releases them.

An important bit is missing from that quotation: because. If it continues, "because I've seen a lot of pictures in my life" then no, that does not stand. If it continues, "because the corner here is way too bright and it distractingly draws the eye from the action in the center" then that is...
