    Americans Worry More About "Global Warming" Than "Climate Change"

    I thought this was old news, I've heard there was some lobbying done to try to make "climate change" the prevalent term because of its more neutral tone. Ironical, because in some ways it is more accurate ? although the average temperature of the earth is rising, some areas will probably be...

    Strange women 'possessed' while assaulting man on Edmonton train

    Uhh, at least where I live getting attacked does give you the right to defend yourself, but if the person stops threatening you, then it's a matter for the police. In the video we see her backing off and turn her back to him, which seemed like an opportunity for him to get away from her. As far...

    Majora's Mask Speed Runner Beats Game in an Hour and Half

    First of all, sorry for the late response. I was never there for the original argument, so I didn't know your stance on the matter accurately, I mostly wanted to know if you had a different definition to beating a game (apparently you do) than some people (especially the speedrunning...

    Majora's Mask Speed Runner Beats Game in an Hour and Half

    I didn't find the title too misleading myself, maybe it's a matter of definition. Some would probably think "beating" a game means you play through it the way the developers intended, while others might argue it just means getting to the finish line. I'd personally lean towards the latter...

    Majora's Mask Speed Runner Beats Game in an Hour and Half

    I've occasionally watched his streams, good stuff. I also like watching Cosmo endlessly practice/do runs in Ocarina of Time. You've got to admire their dedication. As some have already pointed out, he does uses glitches (unlike the article said). I'm pretty sure runs using cheats aren't...

    Magic The Gathering Goes Indie, Drafts Newell In Custom Cube Madness

    I don't really play Magic anymore, but I'd love to draft with these. Or just own them for the humour factor. Well, in a 1v1 game it's going to attack the caster every turn, so the caster will get to draw an additional card each turn for the price of taking 1 damage for it. Of course you're...

    Batman: Arkham Origins to Have Ultra-Hard Permadeath Mode

    I like having the option, but like some others I'd rather use a hard mode in which you'd die easier but could save. I'd guess that you can save, but only when quitting (the way some roguelikes work). So you could play in different sessions, but the save gets deleted when loading a game or when...

    Update: Fez Dev Tells Media Member To Kill Himself

    I really do think Fish overreacted quite a bit ? he could've responded calmly to Beer without coming across as incredibly irritating. The same goes for Marcus Beer though. I watched the particular part of the podcast and he was far from civilized or sensible in the way he presented his...

    Irn Bru!

    That stuff is very scarcely available in where I live, which saddens me greatly (it's also a lot more expensive here, but that doesn't matter, it's always worth the price). Seriously, the next time I'll be visiting Scotland I shall be bringing lots of that stuff back with me. Also, this...

    Planescape Torment remake possibly coming after Baldur's Gate remakes.

    I understand your point, but I even liked the descriptions of the environment (and especially characters) because you can't see most of the detail from the isometric point of view. It added a certain depth to it in my opinion, though some it may have been pointless - I haven't played it in a...

    Risen 2 is almost out. Does no one care?

    I am interested in it because I love Gothic 2 (especially the way how you totally get your ass kicked unless you're careful, it's a refreshing change from the usual easiness of games) and quite liked the first one. I just hope they implement the pirates and the guns etc. properly into it.

    Steam Christmas gifts. What did you get?

    I've got a lump of coal, a 50 percent Valve coupon and an old casino management game I have no interest in. I could be interested in trading the casino game for the shooter, if you're interested and the offer still stands.

    Your Avatar is your face

    So, my head would be replaced by a floating, sarcastic skull who has been munching on a March Mayhem logo for nine months? That would actually be kinda awesome for fights - if someone attacked me, my head could go rogue and bite the attackers. While being snarky and sarcastic.

    Modern Games: Endless Landscapes! 1,000s of NPCs! Amazing Sandboxes! Shallow, Empty, Primitive.

    Thanks a lot! I might be a little overprotective of "my" avatar, so it's great if there's no harm for you in changing it. Thanks again.

    Modern Games: Endless Landscapes! 1,000s of NPCs! Amazing Sandboxes! Shallow, Empty, Primitive.

    I agree that the developers should use more time to give depth to the game than just make it huge. I haven't played Skyrim yet, but I've heard that (even though the world is supposedly deeper than in Oblivion) the conversations are still quite simple. I hope they'd put more effort in those...
