    PC gamers....why must we always get shafted?

    There are far less high end PC Gamers than console gamers and the piracy rates for PC games are significantly higher. Development for PC's is also more complex and thus more expensive (testing on console = one hardware model, testing on PCs = infinite combinations). Thus, triple A titles are...

    Any one else secretly wishes the world actually does end in december?

    Not really, here's an estimate of about 107.6 billion: http://www.prb.org/Articles/2002/HowManyPeopleHaveEverLivedonEarth.aspx Thats an estimate up to around 2011. Other sources I looked at were pretty much in line with that, so 6.9 billion (the population at the time of the previous...

    Any one else secretly wishes the world actually does end in december?

    If it ever happens, over 6 billion? That doesn't make you overly special. There are lots of ways to die that are much less common. Being kidnapped and tortured to death over several days with power tools probably isn't all that common - I'd guess it's happened to less than 6 billion people...

    Poll: Am I in the Wrong Here?

    More than likely there is something else going on that is stressing him out and caused the overreaction. Or it might be that when he asks you nicely to not touch something and you decide to do it anyway he got really mad. Either way, you were both being a bit stupid, but him much more so...

    Poll: A game against camping

    It's fine - I don't see why people feel that the other team should move around more to make life easier for them - if I sit in a spot and the other team just continues to run around the corner allowing me to shoot them in the face I'm not moving. The solution is to do something like throw a...

    Police shoot an "armed" middle school student

    He pointed the weapon at them so it was absolutely 100% justified - they didn't know it wasn't a real gun and they shouldn't have to take the chance. I never, ever, EVER want to see the day where cops are expected to allow an armed offender point a weapon at them or anyone else and not feel...

    Lawyer Destroys Arguments for Game Piracy

    If you think that piracy does not cause ANY loss of sales you're in denial. Gamers like games - if they have to pay for them all they will pay for them. Maybe they won't pay for as many as they would otherwise pirate but they will buy SOME. I've been as dirt poor as anyone else at one point...

    Poll: Your personal favourite anti-hangover remedy?

    I don't get hangovers - something I attribute to being about the most hydrated person I know. Even when drinking I have lots of water as well as alcohol and down a big glass right before I go to bed for the night. The key there is to drink it constantly - if you wait till you wake up feeling...

    "God I'm old" moments

    When I see 20 year olds and think 'wow.. you look like a damn child!' (I'm 26)

    Poll: If you had the choice to be a vampire....

    Are they the immortal super strong mind controlling ones who can still hang out in daylight? Hell yeah I'd go for that. Certain OTHER kinds of vampires... nope.

    You stole my kill!

    I occasionally say it during coop missions with friends when I spend half my ammo burning the shields down off a particularly tough enemy only for them to fire a single shot and rob me of the satisfaction of dropping him - but thats said in jest anyway as I have every intention of doing the same...

    "Be a man, Grow a pair!"

    99% of the time that term is used when what they mean is 'why aren't you doing what I think you should?' It's most often used because it's extremely effective.. most guys are so hell bent on proving they're ultra macho tough men that when someone suggests that if they don't do something it's...

    Poll: Chuck Norris is back!

    I was sadly dissapointed when I never got the chance to see the Expendables at the movies... disspointment that turned to sheer joy when I instead saw it some months later and had no issues TURNING THE DAMN THING OFF. That movie was horrific - it did nothing but play on the 'throw tons of big...

    Buy used? Can't complain.

    The fact that you were only able to respond to one of my points shows you clearly don't have much to say to refute the rest of them. But whatever, I'm sure your response will be that you didn't respond to them because they were so hopelessly stupid and you don't have time for that crap and blah...
