I love giant robots, dumb jokes, and over-the-top violence. Leggy models filmed at low angels while draped over sweet rides are a plus. Michael Bay is the biggest name around making a type of movie I should adore, and they're all absolutely terrible. It doesn't matter to me what Bay's films...

Dude, first sentence: The Wikipedia article on narrative themes [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theme_%28narrative%29] gives that "...a work's thematic concept is what readers 'think the work is about.'" Though Mr. Hocking did not specifically use the word theme while coining the phrase, he...

I could really go for a peanut butter and ham sandwich right now but I don't have any bread.

I don't think the extended endings can be called good, but they are a bit less awful. I was amused by some of the subtle changes though. Thought you could slip the modified Normandy crash scene in without anyone noticing, did you BW? I guess "clarification" wasn't enough.

If Master Chief wore a top hat in Halo 4 and Hitman redid the nunsassin trailer with burly men, I would buy both games on day 1.

Starchild: I control the Necromorphs. They are my solution. Clarke: Solution? To what? Starchild: Chaos. For all the people who cannot understand EA's thought process here, the all-or-nothing mindset was born from the successes of two [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_3] games...

The MPAA might as well offer people their files only if they can be conjured by a genuine wizard.

It's an unfortunate truth that belonging to a franchise makes any media sell better even among people with no knowledge of the series. Publishers take generic shooters and slap on whatever name they have lying around in hopes of boosting exposure and sales. This made me laugh. I wanted to...

It's nice to see the number of people defending Bethesda and rationalizing their actions drops with each new case of dubious legal bullying. Gamers might start standing up for themselves yet.

This was my first thought as well. Mr. Holkins actually lied, or at least misrepresented facts, to the detriment of a group supporting his charity. Considering how much I respect the PA guys, that is rather disappointing.

Once they iron out the bugs, redo the visual effects, rework the camera, redesign the levels and change the core mechanics, AMY will be great! I'm certain this patch will sort all that out.

People love Steam so much because it offers advantages in addition to those restrictions. I can access my Steam library from any computer. Steam backs up my saves and offers great deals on games I might not have tried. Also, Steam doesn't require stable internet to play games. This rumor posits...

That is one of the two main issues with Dyack's argument. The second is that used games are not to blame for the lack of longevity in sales. Shamus Young posted this interesting article [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/experienced-points/8040-Bargains-Are-for-Cheaters]...

The whole "fans don't own the art" thing keeps popping up even though it's stupid and has very little to do with the reality of the ME3 controversy. If BioWare changes the ending in response to fan backlash, that's on them. Fans will always loudly complain whenever anything upsets them. Hell...

You should let this go. It's a discussion of language and wording but Agente L is clearly not that adept at English. This argument will never end.
