    BioShock Creator "Sad" Over ME3's Ending Scandal

    I have to admit hypocrisy here, I was always in the games are art camp until this controversy. Consumers have to be allowed to voice their issues with any product they have bought. People who have finished ME3 are effectively past the "vote with your wallet" threshold and the only way...

    WARNING! Philosophical Content!- What Does it Mean for Something to be Bad?

    I take G. E. Moore's stance on the matter when it comes to good and bad. Its diffuclt to meaningfully define such a basic term since it is like trying to define what "yellow" is. We use good and bad like we use left and right, as the most basic of reference points. They have intuitive meanings...

    The Monster That Is EA

    $10 is what £6.15? Is that really such a steep price to pay for multiplayer access? If you have a problem with it, vote with your wallet and don't pay it. If it wasn't working out for EA they would have stopped it or lowered the price. All they are doing is trying to run a successful business...

    Sexuality, mice and medication What if medication can control sexuality?

    I'm usually all for promoting the benefits of mouse models in pharmaceutical research but behavior is a vastly different and more complex process in humans. It would be very easy to adjust the 'chemical balance' in the brain of a mouse due to its small size and relatively low complexity. Once...

    Why are gamers so cheap? Should games cost more?

    I think a large part of this issue is a very vocal minority. Sales figures show clearly that gamers are not cheap and are willingly to part with their cash on a regular basis. If they really had an issue with the prices they would not buy it or wait for price drops and second hand games. The...

    Fable III Dev Lobs a Few Word Bombs at the Haters

    This is Molyneux's over-exaggerating statements coming back to bite him. When you have a developer making promises and statements like he does in regards to the game this is bound to be the response. I honestly liked Fable 3. The voice acting was excellent as West said but the story did lack...

    Your opinion on Cannibalism.

    This should be avoided at all costs. Recycling of cow material into meat and bone meal was a major factor in the BSE (mad cow disease) epidemic which hit the UK in the 80s. This resulted in severe implications right through the 90s as cases of vCJD hit humans and the economy suffered due to a...

    Gay characters in children's cartoons

    How can something that is part of a whole be completely different from it? Most academic research into sexuality treats it as a "sexual orientation continuum" rather than a mutually exclusive system. The work of Fritz Klein and Alfred Kinsley are good areas to look up due to their impact on...

    Gay characters in children's cartoons

    Scientific research needs proper funding. There will never be the money to research the sexual orientations of all 5000+ mammalian species. Instances like this are as close as you will get to identifying it. Bisexual behavior consists of homosexual behavior and a pedantic stance over...

    Gay characters in children's cartoons

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animals_displaying_homosexual_behavior Wikipedia is not the best place for solid information but just follow the links in the article's Bibliography to confirm what it states. That page also mentions Roy and Silo. The 'gay' penguin males who raised an...

    Poll: Should Tali's face be revealed?

    They should reveal her face. Not for the sake of seeing it but to demonstrate that with enough flaming from raging fans you can actually make the Bioware forums catch fire.

    Valve Discusses Charging Customers Based on Popularity

    This would never work as an industry standard pricing model. I do not see how you can factor in the personality of your customers to your profit margins. -Everyone is nice results in a large decrease in revenue. -Everyone is 'bad' and sales decrease due to a high product price. -Players...

    Canadian Scientists Cure Cancer... No One Notices?

    Nice to see skepticism about this. These DCA trials are at the earliest of stages, almost a proof of concept point. The problem is that any potential cancer treatments are pushed out into the public eye before they are fit to withstand proper scrutiny. My opinion is that this is not a cure...
