    NightSky Dev: Kojima is Terrible At Making Games

    The second I read "IGN", I knew the guy wasn't worth listening to.

    Volition Dev Vs. Pre-Owned Games

    So what happens when the Nextbox or NextStation breaks? Do we lose all our games? Do we have to send the console away for weeks so they can transfer the games? What if the warranty has run out? I really do not see any way that this will not just end up with piracy skyrocketing.

    Rumor: Next Xbox Will Feature Blu-ray, Anti-Used Games System

    Iirc, didn't Microsoft lose money on each console sold, but earn money for each game sold (through the developer having to pay money to microsoft in order to develop for their console)? If so, Microsoft has just as much to lose on people buying used games instead of new games. In fact, if...

    Mass Effect 3 Gives Steam a Miss at Launch

    Hehe, this guy is funny! ... Oh, it wasn't a joke? Well, I didn't have much hope for this one anyway, after how ME2 turned out. If EA doesn't want my money, too bad.

    Laid Off Dev Accuses Codemasters Of "Unlawful" Conditions

    I'm sorry, but this just sounds so incredibly dumb. You do realize what you're saying is that it's fine if Codemasters treat their employees like shit, because every else does it too? Illegal is still illegal, even if some morons thought it was okay to push their employees far over the limit...

    Malware Masquerades As Fake Game Crack

    This isn't really news.. using cracks to spread malware is one of the most popular ways to do it. It can also be added that cracking doesn't mean you're a pirate. I have cracked most of my games. Having to have the DVD in the tray is just annoying. There are also games like Splinter Cell: Chaos...

    Do you respond to trolls?

    Never. As soon as there is the slightest hint of trolling, I leave the thread.

    Poll: Does DRM ever actually affect your purchase?

    Yes, though only Ubisoft so far. I have yet to play AC2, AC Brotherhood, Driver San Fransisco or Heroes VI. I would love to play them, and I would go to the store and buy them all right this instant, had the publisher been any other than Ubisoft with their fucked up DRMs. Vote with your wallet.

    Questions Still Swirl Around EA's Origin Bans

    To be fair, still thread still made me cancel my TOR-preorder. My problem is not with Origin alone, it's with EA. As OP showed, his ban was not exclusive to his Origin-games, his Bad Company 2 was banned as well, despite him not having it on Origin.

    Questions Still Swirl Around EA's Origin Bans

    Try googling. It's the first hit on "will old republic require origin". Fourth post: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=8488436 EDIT: Seems someone already had, and I should refresh pages before pressing quote..

    Is the Insanity Plea a legitimate defense?

    Just some info for anyone who don't actually read newspapers: Brevik is NOT pleading insanity himself. In fact, he strongly denies being mentally ill. The ones who are calling him insane are two doctors who have examined him at the court's request.

    Why don't YOU have Skyrim?

    Because it's a consoleport. They treat me like a second-class costumer; I treat them as a second-class company. I'll buy it one day, when I just can't come up with something to play.

    so...what Skyrim Mod are you waiting for?

    One that lets be bind items to the number-keys. In fact, if one isn't released soon, I might just try to figure out how to do it myself. Driving me crazy..

    Poll: How Many Escapists Who Are Excited for Skyrim Actually Played Oblivion?

    I did, but it was some years ago. I remember very little of the game.

    So an Escapist walks into a bar and...

    My uni has a studentpub, and the prices there are like half of those of normal pubs, so that is usually where I go. They don't have a very big selection though, so when it comes to beer and cider, I just whatever they happen to have at the moment (they have Somersby for cider on tap, and some...
