A hearty meh from this corner, I dont bat an eyelid having to play a girl if I want to be a sorc in diablo2. its an environment and my avatar is a tool, I dont think of it as myself, I dont think of it as a person. maybe the developers slapped a (highly pixelated, vaguely) sexual image over the...

1) everyone is programmed to be a dick, that includes you. http://www.cracked.com/article_16656_6-brainwashing-techniques-theyre-using-on-you-right-now.html 2) getting good at things takes effort.

so a sign of being addicted to food is watching the cooking network while eating dinner? the principle issue with addiction is harm, otherwise its just a habit.

"purchase gold and inject imbalance into the in-game market has been plenty an issue" how so? I already explained why I think gold farming makes a market more healthy, do you have any counter to my points? any other issues to bring up on the subject?

yes, but is exchanging in game items for out of game goods and services a good reason for a game company to use the EULA to deny themselves a highly active, paying customer? sure, if theyre causing a disturbance, spamming off their site or conning people, but selling gold in itself?

Ok, so everyone is wrong, first off gold farmers dont ruin the economy. where your average gamer is a obsessive compulsive packrat who will create a veritable legion of alts to hoard away every last bit of gear that "might" be useful someday, gold farmers actually have an incentive to get those...

Well its no mystery that the old media is going after the new media, just as tv devoured radio, the internet/video games will destroy television... and movies... and sporting events: afterall why sit complacently watching a hero, when you can be the hero?

I disagree with the statistics presented, how would we know how many truly fired their weapons? it is quite possible responders simply gave the answer that is expected of them. perhaps after the shockingly low fire rates were published after ww2, military training was modified to discourage...

Moo 3 was a rather big disappointment.

this shouldnt have anything to do with any "items" or their potential value, but the fact that the account itself was stolen.

Ron Paul. If you are a simpleton and just skim over the headlines, then when you hear that Ron Paul was the only guy to vote against the memorandum for the forced integration that happened 40 years ago. but if you actually listen to him, he puts his reasons down in a clear concise manner...

A good game will teach me new ways of thinking, early on it was the link, mega man and metroid series. then the 'crafts. now things like deadly rooms of death, pardus and dota make me push the limits of what might be possible. it isnt just having a world to discover, but being able to get a feel...
