    So People Are Noticing That Overwatch And Team Fortress 2 Are Quite Similar

    Yeah, it's not like 4 of the 5 female characters are wearing skin tight outfits with most of those having a large open cleavage, and the male characters have a single handsome guy in a revealing outfit with all the others being either dressed appropriately for combat, hulkish in appearance or...

    I think it's time for a cuteness thread.

    Ya know, I saw this exact same thread posted earlier, but I guess i'll resist merging them for now. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.301088

    Transgenders, Transsexuals, and the Whole Gamut

    You're reading what they are typing but not really seeing what at least some of them mean. "It's their choice, unless it harms or oppresses someone else (or sometimes if it's overly destructive)" is what they mean, which is when they cry out against it. It's a little hypocritical, but there...

    Official Discussion about the new Forum Rules

    There have been threads about "post your *** youtube video" ranging from different music genres, funny videos and others that I can't really remember right now. I think there's been a scary/creepy picture thread, a post a picture of you thread, a demotivational thread (which always ends up...

    Official Discussion about the new Forum Rules

    It's not so much no value, but if you're in a conversation with just half a dozen people, and four of them were sitting there just saying "yep" "ahuh" "true" "this" then not only does it interrupt and dilute any conversation actually happening but those people may as well not be there since...

    Why not?

    I tend not to because I know of at least half a dozen people who, have in the past and will again, save pictures and use them in online an persona or two for either trolling or impersonating with ill intent. If I can name that many, then how many more would do that and how many more would do...

    Poll: MineCraft? Scary?

    Minecraft has been the only game to make me jump in...as long as I can remember. It seems to lure you into a false sense of safety, and then there's a sizzle and you die. Also there's more penalty for death in this game than there is for most others. Running back to where you died at night...

    Poll: MORAL CHOICE TIME... WOOHOO!

    Trick question, the robot is part of the ship, the alien is the plant, you are the rest of the options. You are the only one who can go and the robot autopilots the ship back.

    Has gaming hit a wall due to piracy?

    The development of high end games is hitting a wall because they can get away with regurgitating the same products that they have been releasing the previous few years and make greater profits. That and the hardware limitations of consoles, they should have released a new generation already or...

    Blizzard Crushes StarCraft 2 Cheaters

    It's a bit late, but I just heard about a lot of these people being banned is for using cheats in the single player campaign only. Now taking away a $90 game from someone because they cheated in single player sounds a bit less deserving of congratulations to me...

    Question of the Day, September 27, 2010

    Yes and Bloodlines is easily in my top 5, though it was a year or two ago so it had the unofficial patches to fix it up. Redemption was too buggy to play when I tried though :x

    Minecraft Explained Through Accidental Arson

    Yeah, well worth getting, though if you hold off till it's more developed, like out of the Alpha stages, then you shouldn't get bored of it after the first 40 hours of play time like I have.

    Poll: The SWAT series...

    It's good, worth a buy if it's cheap. Playing it with a couple of friends co-op within earshot of eachother is the best. It's got a few little issues such as being gunned down real quick sometimes and slow controls, but they're generally good after you get used to it. My only real complaint...

    WASD vs ESDF

    I've used ESDF on some mmo's and things which it's handy to have more buttons with, but generally for more twitch games the ESDF buttons are offset a little much to make your little finger useful without twisting it a little, it's kind of between z,a and shift. It's all a matter of using what...
