As a former PC gamer who now games pretty much exclusively on the Xbox 360, here are my reasons for going this route: 1. I'm tired of spending $500 to $700 more on my computer to play the PC titles that come out, then having to buy a new machine in another two years. Mainstream PC games are...

I believe there are large segments of the population (both male and female) that like seeing naked people. I also believe there are large segments of the population (both male and female) that like being seen naked. Anyone that wishes to intervene in this situation is imposing their own...

I hate nearly all operating systems, but hate Linux less than most. Windows - Great for PC gaming, hardware compatibility and running the software 90% of the world uses. Alas, the dev tools available are shit, the security is shit and I haven't been able to keep an MS box up for more than...

What you wrote in the OP plus DVD player are the big ones. I play a lot of games, but 90% of what I use the 360 for is getting video from my PC to my television set. I hate little plastic disks. They can break, get scratched or get lost and when you have kids these are less possibilities and...

I see someone just learned about syllogisms in school. There are many different types/variants of what we call "logic" beyond formal logic. There are also a wide variety of applications of such principles. The answer to your second question lies in game theory.

There are eccentricities specific to each industry. I can only really tell you how it works in the video game world, which is essentially how I described it above. This model is *similar* to the music industry, but as I said there are some differences. It all comes down to this: the...

Speaking as someone who knows a bit about the industry, I'll give you some background. The mainstream games you see (for example, Bioshock) cost an average of twenty to thirty million dollars to create. This is the cost that the developers pay. The publishers of the games, with whom the...

Most of the games I actually want to play are available on the 360. Fallout 3, Rock Band, Bioshock, Saint's Row 2 and Left 4 Dead being some examples. Still, I have a gaming PC because the rare times I buy a computer game it's soooooo worth having a good system. The Total War series alone has...

I'm going to toss Medieval II: Total War out there as well. If you were liking the look of Empire TW, you'll get a great experience with M2. Despite the period being different (obviously), there is no naval combat mode. All naval battles are auto-resolved, but I never really hit the sea for...

Expecting reason on an internet forum is like expecting a $20 hooker to not have herpes.

As opposed to killing hordes of other people in video games?

The original Metroid.

Stand up for yourself. There were two of you. If you kick enough ass or at least let bullies know you're not an easy target, they will leave you alone. Telling people to ignore this kind of crap just creates whole generations of whiny cretins that will get walked all over for the rest of your...

The subject of your message reads "Prove me wrong". So... There are many well-documented religions (Tibetan Buddhism being just one) that do not "say that only their religion is right and everyone else's is wrong". Your premise is false. Therefore, you have not proven your conclusion.

I don't understand why Nintendo just doesn't start releasing bizzarro games akin to Rez or other such horrors. Then it could change from being the console you have to be drunk in order to play and become the console where you ask "Am I *supposed* to be drunk for this?" A game where you can...
