    Apparently, overly sensitive groups of people are everywhere

    @ calobi Heralds of the apocalypse? I've never wanted a title more in my life. Can WE as a gaming community start referring to ourselves that way instead of as gamers? Fact is though, no one is ever represented properly by fiction, and a desire to be accurately represented is not something...

    EA Chief Hates DRM

    MY problem with his argument (DRM is like a lock for my car or house) no, it's not, see you own your car or house, DRM is like selling me your car but keeping the keys and saying I can only use it every second Tuesday even though I bought it for full price and I can't let any of my family or...

    Why The Escapist?

    I enjoy the main articles (esp. the fictions) too much to not comment on them myself.

    This Week in Gaming History

    I'm unclear on why people think that banning "harmful" materials is the best option. In my admittedly limited experience if I am told I can not have something, why, what could I possibly desire more? I think history shows this in many places, like, for example the prohibition (although...

    169: But a Walking Shadow

    Your main Characters loneliness is palpable. In the context of this story for a digital representation of a person to have such emotional dearth is intriguing. albeit part of me would like to follow these characters further, see what they are free to do, what distinctions life and death have in...

    169: Phantom on the Tokyo Metro

    Your Characters are very clearly defined and While I do not think I would want to spend more then five minutes with any of them (except maybe anjuru) I Felt they where all real people. Superb!

    Scariest Game You've Played. (Caution: SPOILERS!)

    MYST! Your wondering this island all by yourself. Two guys screaming at you from books, both of them very creepy. I was just waiting for the moment when I was going to get stabbed in the back or raped. I knew someone was out to get me. Game moment that was meant to be scary, system shock...

    Fallout 3 Dev: Lack of DLC Won't "Short-Change" PS3 Owners

    I believe the statement was no tools will be immediately available. something to the effect of if we do not get the game out as soon as possible then no one will like us anymore (insert subtext, if we give you the tools on pc, then everyone will just make our game better and not pay us to do that)

    169: Gears of War: Aspho Fields

    I made it through the first page, barely. I was wishing that a locust would appear and chainsawgun me to death so I would not have to read the rest. This is some truly awful writing.

    Come Back, Carmen Sandiego

    My Fondest video game experience was Civ II. Incidentally this game was almost my entire history curriculum in elementary school. The reason being that I was home schooled, not that my parents did not attempt to teach me, or where in anyways lack in their duties as teachers. I believe what...
