    Poll: Art: You're doing it wrong.

    Your original post reeks of ego. Going to presume you're in college, but I really hope that's not the case. Your condescending behavior would definitely fit the mold of the pompous college student/graduate. We all understand your frustration, but your handling of it is piss poor. Have you...

    Poll: Borderlands funny or not

    This. I can't really even snip part of it out, because it's all accurate.

    Poll: Borderlands funny or not

    The game tries too hard and fails horribly to make me laugh at all. Then again, I'm ten years older than the "average" gamer (26, not 16). I hate my friends a little for making me buy it and play it with them. Not to come off as snobby, but I find humor good when it's subtle. In contrast to...

    Valve Says "Hang In There" For Half-Life 2: Episode 3

    Compared to what? The only engine that's more well polished while being flexible is probably Unreal. Though I will say it's unstable as hell. I've never seen an engine so hostile to alt-tabbing.

    Android Spouses or Real Human Spouses: Which do you Prefer?

    See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undecidable_problem. I think you're not realizing that you're talking about predicting a non-discrete/continuous timeline with infinite amounts of input. Compound that with the fact that you're also talking about a true synthetic intelligence which can change...

    Android Spouses or Real Human Spouses: Which do you Prefer?

    LOL. This was cute. Totally unrealistic but still very cute. Why do you assume that you shouldn't be able to predict your perfect partner? Why do you presume that, just because you designed the complex "system", you can predict the behavior of it. In a high-level sense, sure, but if you've...

    Dragon Age II has a 3.4/10 on Metacritic, WHY!?

    Fashion has to do with art. Your argument can be simplified to saying that art from some place called ValueArt in China is just as good as something painted from Picaso because it still uses paint and kinda looks like art. Also, you assume I'm talking about super expensive clothing when I'm not...

    Dragon Age II has a 3.4/10 on Metacritic, WHY!?

    People that think they look just as good at the fraction of the price, usually don't. They just misunderstand the concept behind fashion and think "well it looks the same to me", all the while the serious designers are face-palming. I also don't see how you see a connection between someone...

    Dragon Age II has a 3.4/10 on Metacritic, WHY!?

    Except the PC version really is rubbish. By PC standards at least, which I think are higher than console gamer standards. I loved the first Dragon Age but this sequel is complete trash for more reasons than I can get into in this small post. Everything that made the first version good has been...

    I'm an open minded Gamer

    What's the point of this thread? There's no question posed, and the assertion made cannot be challenged since it is a statement about the OP himself. Does the OP just want a cookie or perhaps a pat on the back? Or is there a point here that I'm missing?

    Why are MOST PC gamers full of so much hatred towards Consoles?

    This is pretty much a non-issue now. Intel has been dominating AMD in benchmarks for the last year or two, and I'm not a fanboy of either. I buy whichever is the best. ATI has also been in the lead for video cards but I prefer Nvidia's features. Either way, you'd be an idiot for being a...

    Why are MOST PC gamers full of so much hatred towards Consoles?

    Maybe I've missed any such post, but I'm surprised that no one has pointed out the long term price difference between consoles and PC platforms. Everyday Joe knows that a console is 100-300 dollars and a decent PC is 800-3000. What Everyday Joe does not realize is that console manufacturers...

    Are PC developers/ports getting lazy

    I do agree with this. However, the other post claiming that the wide range of hardware has an effect on programmers is just wrong. DirectX/OpenGL/OpenAL/etc abstract away the differences between hardware vendors/models. Some of the hardcore companies are going to employ some tricks to optimize...

    Are PC developers/ports getting lazy

    The amount of bad speculation in this thread is huge. Has anyone here ever actually ported an application from one API/framework to another? Porting something doesn't introduce memory leaks unless there are MASSIVE changes to the code or a problems in their libraries. Any decent company with...
