It's very pretty, and it is moving to see this be made. What I think makes people's back hair stir is the lack of the NPCs in the village. When you arrive in Kakariko in the original game, the charm of the place is that there are people in it who stand around, bantering, doing farm work, and...

I'm seeing all these fans getting their hopes up for Fallout 4, and yet my gut feeling is that Bethesda has jumped on the MMO boat so hard that they'll just announce more content for Elder Scrolls Online, unaware how this will just create a huge backlash of disappointment. I could not care less...

It is quite interesting how different phrases are used for PR reasons by both sides of politics on the issue. I personally support as little obfuscation and phrase changing as possible, unless it's irrefutably proven that changing the phrase used to describe the phenomenon of climate change in...

If Sony does not go back on a model that forces you into a premium service then I'm never buying their console. It's that simple. Some of us are simply not interested in adding upkeep costs to an already difficult economic situation at home. We keep hearing about how these massive...

This could be a fun feature for about five minutes, I guess. Not usually what I'd call newsworthy, but then it may be a slow gaming news day. This came to my mind as well. It'd be especially useful for indie games which were fun for half an hour but you aren't likely to play again. But that...

I disagree with the claim that Gordon Freeman is not a character. That's exaggerating the point, and not every argument against it is related to the quality of the rest of the game or some kind of "smudge" effect with opinions of game aspects. Gordon Freeman is a tastefully underdeveloped...

I'd find what you said funny, in other circumstances. I never made that comment, and sure, you can call it age old banter. But let's say you made a similar comment about America in here. Would that be then labelled "flame bait", or responded to by about twenty times as many people defending...

I think that it's appalling that our R18+ rating is just being dodged because people feel scared of drugs. We fear drug use incentives more than murder incentives? Really? I suppose the argument for it in the conservative mind is that it's easier to be teased into drug use than to be teased...

This thread is an example of the thing it is complaining about. Is this really a productive discussion to be having? Kidding, kidding. The fact is that when people come together anonymously on the Internet to discuss things, a whole lot of activity is going to be their daily complaints. If it...

I love how I came here to see this out of curiosity, and then watching the video, "Two Steps from Hell" music came on. That certainly was a good choice. Epic music for an epic battle.

I think that people worried about "freedom of speech" on this matter really are thinking in a very binary way. You can encourage freedom of speech while discouraging hate groups like this Church. You can still call a hate group what it is (and thereby not be lying to yourself and others), and...

I like the ideas of the giant tower into space (easy epic world design idea, and just pseudoscientific enough for BioShock) and the core of the Earth (just think about those extremely high temperatures as a new more dangerous version of the water from the Rapture days - always encroaching danger...

I'm not even remotely interested in anything so steeped in 1920s economics and philosophy. The fact that there's been an attempt to modernise it especially does not sit well with me. These philosophies are outdated, proven wrong, and a product of greedy fantasies of endless growth in a world...

Interesting news. I'm sure that physics has already explained that there is little danger in that particular experiment, but the general public is not wrong to be sceptical. The danger of nuclear war did not stop scientists testing atomic reactions, and we still came close to that really...

These folk are angry because he bent the truth about a story and made a generalisation about an entire subculture (PC gamers) in order to generate hits for his article. The fact that he is a PC gamer himself doesn't suddenly give him the right to represent all of them in such statements. It's...
