    Poll: Marriage - What is it Good For? (Absolutely Nothing! Huh! Yeah!)

    1. No. It's a state-incentivized domestic/civic relationship with reproductive restrictions assumption, not that those work or benefit both parties. 2. Yes, there are proven psychological impacts on such events. Specifically I remember a study on hazings but i'm sure weddings do the same but...

    Keep a convex mirror nearby.

    M1911A1 or a new gaming PC?

    You can't defend your home with a PC. Look at all those gun-wielding lunatics out there now. Play it safe, get an assault rifle, it'll last for someone's lifetime. Plus it does not devalue as hard as computers.

    Perfect World and Cryptic Studios Are Making a Magic: the Gathering MMO

    Unlikely to be something worthwhile. There already was a MtG MMO in the form of a Circle MUD with thematic areas/mobs. That's probably as close to good as one will get. Also Shandalar still best digital MtG game.

    Things in media that scared you as a kid.

    For me it was the episode of the returned astronaut claiming to have seen a space ghost. Lame, i know, but it stuck with me for a long time. Much of it had to do with the image being used in the opening. Yes, Fred came off as kind of bad-touchy. Ramses was weird looking but he just wanted...

    Grim Dawn Sells a Million Copies, Celebrates with Half-Off Sale

    I figured there'd be no market for diabloesque hack and slashers these days. Path of Exile has no entry barrier and is good out of the gate and the various free dotas have taken the actionRPG schtick into a more concise, competitive form.

    Consumer rights: Updates that make a purchased game worse or completely break it.

    That's right, start backpedaling. Except for, you know, you waive the rights to take or participate in class action lawsuits when you accept the EULA *after* purchasing the game. But it's okay, they should have a digital copy of the EULA on some webpage for you to bring yourself up to date...

    Consumer rights: Updates that make a purchased game worse or completely break it.

    Neither is. Digital goods have far fewer rights that are enforced. Anything regarding updates short of physically damaging your hardware can be written off by the companies. Developers don't have to conserve backwards compatibility of the software nor do they have to provide critical patches to...

    How to gain inspiration?

    I was told creativity comes when you get proficient in what you do and you can let your mind wander while doing it. Here's something to get you started.

    So...Dawn of War III...

    Refund it. It did not sell well. There is little public interest reflected in the community content. There is little interest in the fanbase. It'll be 33% off by winter and is likely to do worse than DoW2. I'm not including technical and mechanical failings because i did't get interested...

    Did Jim Sterling Dox People In His Latest Video?

    There is a large presumption that those would be real, concrete people. A lot of firms use "personal" accounts used by multiple people in shifts. Sometimes they are named after previous employees and not being deemed necessary to be renamed, or alter the signature if the contact information is...

    What do you think about younger children (6-12) playing games online?

    Like leaving them unattended in a metro passageway with a DS after telling them to ask a stranger if they need help.

    Why is western comics art so static compared to manga?

    And draw backgrounds instead of cheap ink lines, or if super fancy, curves if not left entirely blank.
