    Personality-Based Superpowers. What are yours?

    Mind reading. It's not so much that I can at the moment tell what people are thinking, but people open up to me...all the time, so I guess the best way to translate that into a power would be a knowledge of what they in the real world will eventually tell me anyway.

    Zero Punctuation: Dragon Age II

    What's strange here is the "lack of consequence" argument, especially after the Deep Roads. There's a pretty big consequence. Your As far as the plot goes, I did like the politics sense and the lack of typical fantasy OMG EPIC and how I totally killed a High Dragon but it didn't even matter...

    Crysis 2 Dev Urges Fans Not to Pirate the Game

    So why do you think that pirates, generally, aren't actually downloading the game? They clearly all want it, but the numbers of downloads have actually been really, really low. If this had (as it always does) happened for a movie, I doubt any pirate would have the slightest moral glitch. My...

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

    Partially (not sure if this has been covered yet) - trolls, intentional ones or not. The internet is anonymous, and all our discussions about gaming take place here. This makes it much easier to argue a non-nuanced point of view, not even necessarily one you totally agree with. There's also an...

    Why are gamers never satisfied?

    Depends on what you mean by satisfied. When somebody says a game isn't perfect, are they unsatisfied? Because I don't think any game has been perfect; it can perfectly execute what it was intending to do, but those intentions are necessarily limited to the game's subjective, ultimately partial...

    Auto-aim, cover, health regen in shooters: why the hate?

    Think about playing with health regen. You throw yourself in, shoot everything, and at the end of the firefight you're either dead or alive, nothing in between, since it doesn't matter a damn how hurt you got. Without it, you have to be a little more careful. Walking around with 15% health and...

    Pornography

    I don't really think it is taboo; I mean, you might get a few looks if you talk about your habits to strangers, but that's pretty much for the same reason that you'd get those looks talking about masturbation, even if you don't actually happen to be doing that while watching porn. Yes, there are...

    Why all the Michael Cera hate?

    This is all a little unfair. Comparing Cera to other actors is like comparing apples and some fruit nobody's ever heard of.

    Question of the Day, September 2, 2010

    It could conceivably work if you levelled really, really quickly. People have been pointing out how scared someone who had put months into becoming level 80 on WoW would be, and how irritating it would be if you got killed just as you started to get powerful by some cheap ************ or a mob...

    what would you bring into a free-for-all?

    A signal-scrambling device to knock out the TV broadcast. If some motherfuckers want to kill me, they're not going to get a live feed, the bastards. Then - jet pack. Which I will use to fly above the alien masses, and then use to deliver... ...A chemical spraying machine filled with a...

    Scientists create lesbian mice: has the 'Gay Gene' been found?

    I'd be surprised if this gene - I'm going to assume that their work was good and that the gene has the effect they said it does - can explain homosexuality. It's worth exploring, but a lot of human activity simply doesn't fit into the model; there's a tribe (I've conveniently forgotten the name)...

    Whats the Girliest thing you've ever done?

    I dunno. I assume by girly you mean not macho-bullshit-whatever, so I guess...cried when I got rejected? That probably counts, it's so pathetic. Also, I really like Atonement. Also, I actually did read pride and prejudice, and I liked it. Manliness is overrated anyway.
