    New Bundle Puts Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment Back on the Shelves

    Does anyone know when these bundles will be available in the UK? Tried finding them on Amazon.co.uk and couldn't find them.

    The Big Picture: In Defense of Nostalgia

    Damn straight, Bob. Damn straight. Nail on the head, etc.

    The Big Picture: Maddening

    With you all the way on this one, Bob. The depressing thing is, he is probably back to where he is because he can throw and catch a ball rather well. Most people don't care about animals enough to be as outraged as they should be that he is still playing football.

    The Big Picture: Once Upon a Time in The Future

    You're not the only one, Bob. This one is just depressing.

    The Big Picture: Feeding Edge

    What farmers did wasn't genetic engineering, it was selective breeding or artificial selection (going by Darwinian terminology). I know what you were getting at and I understand this isn't your area of expertise and so on, but correct terminology is important in these things. Artificial...

    The Big Picture: Conspiracy Weary

    Definitely agree with this. By simply labelling something as 'conspiracy nonsense', you've set it up to be interpreted in a particular way by the public based on preconceptions.

    The Big Picture: Magneto Was Right

    Brilliant. My favourite, so far.

    The Big Picture: Correctitude

    A lot of good points in this video, but free speech is free speech. Most of the time it's easy to determine when someone is being a jerk or hateful or purposefully offensive. Other times, people take offence for the sake of it. The beauty of free speech is that you can offend and be offended.

    Michael Atkinson Steps Down

    Almost as if it were leading up to some terrible boss fight. Hmm. OT: While the next one to come in may make Atkinson look like a loveable scamp, there is no reason why anyone who was against him shouldn't celebrate. Enjoy it. Things like this don't happen everyday.

    Women in Games Conference Canceled Due to Lack of Delegates

    Have to agree. This is actually quite depressing. Especially considering how popular gaming is now as a for of entertainment.

    Child Must Have Thought a Gun Was a Wii Remote, Mother Says

    This. Also, not sure a three year old would be able to properly point a handgun at herself and pull the trigger. I thought you had to have a bit more digital strength for something like that. Something fishy.

    Australian Conservative Launches Anti-R18 Videogame Site

    That's true. I usually see comments like the one originally posted by Uberjoe19 as poorly worded or ill-defined attempts at what I was trying to say. Probably a mistake on my part.

    Australian Conservative Launches Anti-R18 Videogame Site

    Actually, the truth is that every human still has the brain of a hunter-gatherer that one day decided to turn to agriculture for food procurement and became sedentary to support this new way of life. If any evolution occurred between then and now, it would have been (at the most) social. No...

    Atkinson: Gamers Are More Threatening Than Bikers

    Completely agree. Setting aside the absolutely ludicrous statement of gamers more threatening than bikers, what happened to balls? Cojones. Testicles. Whatever you call them, some people in power used to have them. Yeah, gamers that are sending death threats aren't helping 'the cause', but he...
