    8 Bit Philosophy: Is Change An Illusion? (Zeno's Paradoxes)

    The problem with Zeno's Paradoxes is that they assume time and space are infinitely divisible. But Quantum Mechanics seems to suggest they are not. The position of electrons on atoms is a good example of this. They can only occupy curtain distances from the nucleus and not the space between...

    Game Theory: Why Video Game Movies Suck!

    OMG those ratings are surprising. None of the Video Game movies were great but some were decent. Tomb Raider I thought was pretty decent, but only a 19% makes it sound horrible. Personally I'd rank it in 60s, it's not great but sort of average. Pretty much all the game movies that I like fit in...

    Zero Punctuation: King's Quest: A Knight to Remember

    It's nice to hear a review that calls out the "classic" King's Quest for the crap that they were. I played some of them back in the day and the puzzles were just ridiculous at times, with a game that amounted to little more than trial and error rather then actually making some logical sense out...

    8 Bit Philosophy: What is Marxism? (Karl Marx + Super Mario Bros.)

    Every time I hear talk of Marx and communism, with a utopia world where there is no private property I can't help but think of the "Tragedy of the Commons". Which basically talks about how over fishing, hunting, and logging is often caused by this sharing of resources. That is when a resource is...

    Blizzard Surprised by Reaction to Online-Only Diablo 3

    The title to those article should be. "Blizzard VP reveals he is completely out of touch with gaming community." That's really the only explanation that makes any sense. Because he they did have an idea there was going to be some backlash they would of at least prepared some kind of spin...

    Ubisoft Says Always-On DRM, "A Success"

    They have succeed... in reducing sales!! Long time Settlers fan but I refuse to buy Settlers 7 with this DRM. Also liked AC but not getting the sequels because of DRM. In fact not buying any more Ubisoft products.

    Jimquisition: Fight in the Name of Childishness

    Let's see Mature Debate vs Childish Antics.... How about I'm to busy to give a damn what some up tight jerk offs think about gaming, that's time I could be spent gaming. I'll sit up and take notice when something major happens. Like that Supreme Court case Video Games won making them an art...

    305: Self-serving Small Print

    Ok so the PSN EULA says they can remove any feature they like. That's NOT the PS3 EULA!! PSN EULA basically means they can choose to remove features from the PSN such as chat, marketplace, matchmaking multiplayer games, and etc. It doesn't include the right to change anything on your PS3...

    263: How I Gained and Lost an Empire

    Ah you made the classic mistake when facing an enemy with far superior forces, you took them head on. My most memorable game of MOO2 was one where I only manage to gain 5 solar systems each with about 2-3 planets on largest map size. I still won the game though through superior tech and...

    Would you kill your friend to save 10 other people

    These types of questions are such loaded questions. Anyone is openly admits they would kill their friend to save the 10 people is not moral and likely won't have many friends for very long if their friends find out they think that way. I know I wouldn't want to be friends with someone who might...

    The Escapist Presents: Recipe For Disaster

    Is this going to be a series? Cause it seems like it could get old fast with them simply cooking each week. And if it is a series what are they going to do? Other educational games maybe?
