I think in the end, the whole issue with the ending is more of a testament to the emotional investment people had in many of the characters and plotlines, which they felt had not enough closure, coupled with bad management and an awkward change of artistic direction. Personally, I wasn't...

It works because the center of mass is actually under the shelf. The hammer head is so heavy, relatively to the rest of the contraption, that it can hold the rest of the stuff into place.

Being Italian myself, i have to say, the whole "this is more of a vendetta" thing is really spot on. In fact, it is hilarious to me that the word we use to transalte "revenge" (vendetta, that is) has come into use in English because of how extraordinarily vicious and resilient Italian family...

Except the systems should be entirely irrelevant. Unless you're an electronics engineer or you work for sony/microsoft why should you care about the system? You should care about the service and the games, neither of which benefit from the competition between the systems, because they're...

That wouldn't make it much of a god, though, would it? It's like saying "YES! The Demiurge exists!" Good for you, now what? It's not an infalliable god, it's not a moral authority and most likely does not interfere because that would kinda fuck up the point of simulation, but if it does...

Actually, it's 11 years. UK copyright expires after 50 years from the author's death, which was in '73.

THIS. SO. MUCH. THIS.

Newsflash: ANYONE who is not workig into game development is not contributing to the medium. This includes him. Sitting on the sidelines taking pot shots at games/reporting/acting/etcetera is NOT contributing to the medium, it's POPULARIZING the medium. which is precisely what Felicia Day...

It doesn't matter if the assumption is wrong, it's an assumption made by a character, namely the starchild. It's just as relevant as the illusive man's assumption that a can do spirit would've magically shielded him from indoctrination. Characters CAN be wrong. They can also be powerful and...

Fucking finally. I don't know HOW this has taken so long to get acknowledged. I knew that there wasn't a lot of legal ground to actually get the FTC complaint off the ground, but seriously, fuck legal ground, ethically and technically speaking we are fucking right. I'm seriously...

On that reasoning then, who cares about the ending? Who cares about the plot? Why can't i pretend that Shepard was saving the galaxy from the Emperor and his space marines, instead of the reapers? Sure, you can make your own shit up. You can make better shit up. What you honestly can't think...

Here's why people gave less fucks about DE:HR than ME3: 1) DE is much older a franchise, and nobody expects anything good from necromantic sequel making. As it stands, people expected a shit game with nothing resembling the original and got a game that somewhat resembled it, with occasional...

What did you expect? Honestly. They would've lost their face completely if they actually knuckled under and changed the ending outright, they were never even thinking to do that. Best we could've hoped for was a last renegade/paragon option to let the battle make its course, but...

(Because it is interactive, again. i don't see why you would put it in two different points) These are the most arbitrary and retarded distinctions i've ever heard. It's like a caveman going: "the Mona Lisa is not art! Art is made on big sturdy cave walls, the Mona Lisa is made on flimsy...
