    Poll: The poll to end, and begin, all polls

    Your arguments about your subjective motivations are irrelevant. My argument is that OP has instituted a poll that doesn't allow the voters to represent their opinions in the poll results, rendering the whole voting a charade, not about what their motivations are. The poll doesn't provide...

    Poll: The poll to end, and begin, all polls

    No, you're just deluding yourself and the others. There is literally no meaningful difference between them. The only conclusion that could be drawn from this poll is about the voter's number preference.

    Poll: The poll to end, and begin, all polls

    All options seem equally bad at representing my opinion, so I choose not to vote in protest.

    What if the last Two Games you played share the same Universe?

    Sounds like a MOBA mod for the second one. Anyone interested in it happening?

    Poll: Snap Response - Gamer fuel

    I have pretty bad eating habits and often just stock up on simple snack like bread-and-cheese sandwiches to eat while playing instead of a normal meal. When not hungry I tend to have a cup of tea every 10-30 minutes. Tying alcohol consumption to an activity that I partake in as often as...

    A timeline of the deterioration of the Terminator timeline (spoiler for every Terminator movie)

    I'm disappointed to see no mention of Sarah Connor Chronicles.

    Game Theory: Gamers, You're Getting Played

    Oh, I guess, the implication went way over my head. I understood it as you having no problem with his premises(assumptions that something is true) or logical reasoning and instead criticizing the amount of conclusions leading from one to another and leading to counter-intuitive results, which I...

    Game Theory: Gamers, You're Getting Played

    That's what I said. You didn't say anything about false premises, only that "overall effect is really rather absurd".

    Game Theory: Gamers, You're Getting Played

    Whaa? No. Deduction works even if it might be counter-intuitive sometimes and allows to build a big base of proven statements that will make sense if you follow the chain of logic. That's what's so good about it. That breaks down though if either the premises or reasoning are wrong. On a...

    Game Theory: Gamers, You're Getting Played

    I feel you. At least he usually provides the methodology behind the experiments, but conclusions do often come to be pretty far-fetched.

    What exactly is it about PC ports?!

    This point probably has already been raised, but consoles generally have set hardware configuration. This makes development easier not only because you know exactly for what spec range to develop for without making the experience especially different across the users, but you have to worry less...

    Thoughts on the Spring 2015 Anime Season

    Now that I think of it, I may have spent a bit too much time absorbing anime this Spring. World Trigger -- The Neighbor's large-scale invasion ark is finally over. Good. It had started becoming exhausting. That said, I liked the start where all the new characters and Trion soldiers are...

    Shouldn't Geralt be like a Vulcan from Star Trek?

    I actually think that this does make witchers seem similar to Vulcans. Both are born with emotions but taught from a very young age to suppress them and act in accordance to tradition, in a logical and calculated way, earning a reputation of cold heartless people. And still, representatives from...

    Remember that XCOM game we never talk about?

    I expected this to be about X-Com Enforcer, the arcade third-person shooter. Apart from the name and, alien invasion theme and a very vague resemblance of the enemy alien species to their original counterparts, it has nothing to do with with the series. Not to say I didn't enjoy it on its own...

    I'm trying to find a specific type of game

    Sorry, I don't really understand the question. Are you looking for the games where your character progresses much slower than the enemies i.e., grindfests? Or games where the loot is much less rewarding than in other games?
