    Thief Trailer Says Stealing and Saving the City are Kind of The Same Thing

    I've only played the first game and about a third (?) of the second, but what this trailer depicts doesn't seem all that different from the originals. Garret might be a bit more capable of a killer than originally, though. I think I see it too, now that you mentioned it. Also, the book...

    Miracle of Sound: Dream of the Sky (BioShock: Infinite)

    This is absolutely beautiful. I was at taken aback by the first thematic shift in the song, about a minute and a half in. It felt a bit unnerving, almost awkward. Yet, that was the point, wasn't it? It began to fit after you let it build for a few seconds. When I first heard the tune...

    Xcom: sometimes they just are just destined to miss

    I honestly can't speak for the Xbox version (I have it on PC), but the controller interface works well. Just a couple days ago I connected my laptop to a tv and played X-Com with a gamepad. It worked really well, and I don't usually use gamepads. I'm not sure I prefer it, but it worked much...

    So escapists... what's your porn name?

    Kashew Mayes.. Hmm, I don't think that will work. Unless it includes some mayonnaise fetish or something.

    Underage Sexual Assault Victim Faces Jail Time...For Tweeting the Names of Her Attackers (UPDATED)

    I don't necessarily agree with it, but the motion for holding her in contempt was withdrawn. If anyone cares. Yay, a link...

    Underage Sexual Assault Victim Faces Jail Time...For Tweeting the Names of Her Attackers (UPDATED)

    Out of curiosity, where did you find out that they specifically plead down to the charge of felony abuse? The article only said they plead guilty to abuse and voyeurism, nothing of pleading down from a greater charge. I guess I'm just being an unending optimist for "until proven guilty..."...

    Underage Sexual Assault Victim Faces Jail Time...For Tweeting the Names of Her Attackers (UPDATED)

    Sorry about that, you're right. I didn't realize that the charge had been clarified to specifically sexual abuse; I didn't notice your other post.. The point I was trying to get across was that the vernacular meaning of the term "sexual assault" most here were using was strictly correct but...

    Underage Sexual Assault Victim Faces Jail Time...For Tweeting the Names of Her Attackers (UPDATED)

    Actually, they aren't the same thing. Sexual Assault can mean anything from groping to assault (and possibly battery) in a sexual nature, to the further extent of being rape. Threatening to rape someone would be sexual assault, but not rape, for example. Groping a boob isn't rape, but is also...

    7 year old girl shot dead while selling some lemonade

    That article is probably the single most constructive thing said in this entire thread. Thank you. I'm not touching the rest of this thread with a 10 foot pole, however.

    A Canon ME3 Ending?

    Seriously? That's how it ends (lore-wise)? I really want to play Daggerfall now just to experience it all. My back log is long enough. Thanks...

    Poll: What Dishoured playthrough challenge will you set yourself?

    If I can, I think I'm going to do my Deus Ex: Human Revolution run. I won't just play the game stealthily, and I wont just play a complete pacifist, no no nooooo. I'm going to knock out ever last bugger I come across. Everyone will be on the ground. There shall be a sea of unconscious (but...

    Features in Prequels that you miss in Sequels

    I just tried searching for it in google, and Chrome crashed on me.. then my comp blue screened. DON'T USE IT, ITS A TRAP. Because we all know correlation and causation... OT: Let me get back to you on that.

    Poll: So does anyone still care about Dragon Age?

    DA:O was quite awesome, and I actually (somewhat) enjoyed DA2. Granted, DA2 wasn't great by any means, and had a plethora of flaws, but I still enjoyed it. Honestly, I like the Thedas universe (despite it possibly being only named for being THE Dragon Age Setting *sigh*) and I am interested in...

    A certain scene in Prometheus [MAJOR SPOILERS]

    If I remember correctly, David was observing the goo between his fingers when he said "Impressive." It was glowing, or seemed to have electricity (or something) flowing through it, especially when distressed. From I gathered, he put two and two together and realized it was some sort of contact...

    Poll: Coke or Pepsi??
