No, the reason that you get a license to rent when you buy a game is specifically because no legal provision exists for you to buy a copy of the game and be able to fool around with it. If you buy a sony TV, you have a physical TV. You own that, because it's a tangible thing. You don't own...

Gah, so many inaccuracies. The phrase 'Intellectual property' refers to a property which has no physical presence. A piece of software counts as an Intellectual Property. If you purchased the software, you are purchasing the IP, which would give you the right to copy and resell it. Games...

God dammit, a lot of people here are missing the point as I see it: It's not that the British don't want to accept that we did shitty things during the colonialist era, it's that the Americans did equally shitty things (hence why the majority of native american tribes including the Mohawks -...

Can someone please explain why this is being referred to as a scam? Because if she's actually using the women's rights activists to embezzle money then she deserves a certain amount of harassment

Right, have to address this now. The CoD thing. Two reasons why this comparison is hilariously irrelevant (haven't played BlOps so I'll be taking MW1 as an example): 1. However you twist it, you cannot possibly say that the arab terrorists from the first game or the russian ultranationalists...

I found some beef jerky in a butchers shop in my town, and it was mediocre at best. Try and find any place that sells south african food and look for 'biltong'; it's meat that has been cured, spiced and dried until it's really tough and chewy. Makes a great thing to gnaw on over the course of a...

Scotty Morris. No question. Who's Scotty Morris, you ask? AHA THIS is Scotty Morris.... Although I'm quite a fan of matt bellamy as well... say what you like, but nobody has a voice quite like bellamy

Dude, dont worry. If you said 'this guy walked into me, so i ripped his arm off' then this'd be a different matter, but he tried to stab you in the eye. Fuck that guy. If it's defend yourself or die, nobody with any sense (except ghandi, maybe) will criticise you for hurting someone else. If...

what the fuck WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK a classmate attacked you with a stiletto and you (to all intents and purposes) ripped off his arm. Christ. Remind me never to piss you off

Somebody who knows anything about medicine/psychology please come up with a legitimate explanation for this? Otherwise I'm going to assume that the end is nigh and move to the shetlands

I read this as 'they're some kind of northerner'. Really rather appropriate. yes.

nope. I hate this 'retro for the sake of retro' thing that's showing up recently. games would not have advanced like this if there wasn't a benefit built-in. Look at resistance 2: that was colourful as all hell, and it was also realistic. I guarantee that in 20 years or so, after the...

Any computer store. It is the most satisfying thing, especially when you have one of those big bastards that appears to be about 99% legs with a tiny body in the middle.

I've developed an ingenious method for removing spiders. -Take one of those compressed air cans you use for cleaning a PC out -Flip it upside down -Spray onto spider. The propellant comes out and freezes solid, before evaporating and leaving the SPIDER frozen solid -remove ice-spider with...

I'm not a microsoft man, but this is a terrible shame for gamers generally. Last thing we need in today's market is any one console manufacturer getting complacent. Good thing we're approaching the end of a console generation. With any luck that'll take some of the sting out of it.
