    Team Fortress 2 Celebrates "Smissmas" With a Brand-New Game Mode

    Without seeing any action yet, the grappling hook could also be said to be a stand-in for Unreal Tournament's.... grappling hook. It was there, in the ChaosUT mod dating back to the original '99. You could slingshot yourself like crazy and basically be Spider-Man, even grabbing the skybox and...

    Does the game industry have a problem with unionized workers?

    All this stuff from people against unions is bullshit. There are plenty of ways to fight for the people, so it's not just a case of "you just GOTTA cater to the corporations or they're gonna take their ball and go home!" The problem is firstly that the corporations are international. This is...

    Jimquisition: Ubisoft Talks Bollocks About Framerate And Resolution

    You disagree with math by saying "well I don't like it, so it means it's all preference". Despite objective facts being used. I gave reason and you waved it all off by claiming it's my stated preference. I said no such thing, so it seems you're being defensive over your frustration of not being...

    Jimquisition: Ubisoft Talks Bollocks About Framerate And Resolution

    Yes, it is objectively better. I don't see how you could think it could be argued against or would be a joke in any way. It is literally more information on the screen for you to utilize. The video is smoother, you are displayed with more detail when action is happening, you miss less of the...

    PC GAMING MASTER RACE, ASSEMBLE!!!! First time PC builder here, how does this rig look? - UPDATE #4

    That Monk dude seems to know what he is doing. Your first priority should be CPU and GPU, followed by amount of RAM, then the rest. The mobo should just meet the basics, and you're not doing SLI, so you can go cheap with latest gen. The PSU for your level really only needs 500 watts. You can...

    Solar Roadways Seeks $1M to Replace Streets with Solar Panels

    Way too many people here that feel the need to comment when they have NO FUCKING CLUE about solar tech. Nor can they imagine how it would function at all because... cars always are on top of reads! Yes, the cars always cover up nearly 100% of the roads! .....my god, the imaginations of these...

    The Big Picture: Why Robocop Still Rules

    That's quite a lot to glean from the little bit you quoted. Such grand narrative cast from little bits here and there, some not all that relevant. Almost as if it is... I don't know.... a bit... pretentious?

    The Big Picture: Why Robocop Still Rules

    I wholeheartedly agree on Children of Men being pretentious. That is the foremost thought I was left with after seeing the movie. Surprising to me that people here disagree so strongly. The acting was decent, the story was somewhat interesting, the dystopian future was done in nearly an...

    Getting raped is like getting a flat tire. Also, it's God's will. Fancy that.

    Mumbo jumbo to explain away more mumbo jumbo. It's no different at all. There is no difference. We can already guess just about everything the dog will do. If you're going to bring up some endgame scenario, then how about: if the dog barks then it goes to heaven, and if it has a heart attack...

    A PC related question.

    Just go to cyberpowerpc.com and try out each template and customize then to what you want. Some are more expensive for silly reasons, so you have to find the good templates. Building your own is overrated. It's for people that know what they're doing and want to be really specific on the...

    Getting raped is like getting a flat tire. Also, it's God's will. Fancy that.

    It's difficult to believe you're actually asking this. Let me give you an example and see if you can translate the similarities into the proper logical conclusion: So let's say I drop a dog out of an airplane. That is the only event we have. Are there infinite possibilities? Of course not. We...

    Getting raped is like getting a flat tire. Also, it's God's will. Fancy that.

    Yep, just forget about the part where God is said to have created man, thus creating the entire timeline of events that will happen to him. Other than that.... free will!

    Awesome stuff, and I liked the frame at the end, it's very fitting for the times. Speaking of...

    Multi-Platform HD Collections Part of Kojima's "Transfarring" Initiative

    It sounds pretty stupid that such a thing is being heralded as a cool and new feature to gaming. Especially with that name. Yuck.

    [UPDATE] PSN Password Reset Vulnerable to Exploit

    Except what I said meant it does mean it is relative, just not necessarily to the people already hired by Sony. Duh... It's funny you think this talking point even matters to anything at all in any discussion. Okay, I get it. You actually read my post again, for real this time, and realized...
