    "Pirating" a game that was never released in your country/language

    The only way it isn't piracy is if you buy the original version of the game. Even if the translated version didn't require an original ROM (i.e. the ROM was included) you would still need to have purchased the original game. If not using every feature of any given IP got you off the hook for...

    We're One Step Closer to a True Invisibility Cloak

    Poll: what do you want done with your body after you die

    Behind the Grind

    Ah, yes. Grinding. I'm too good at math to play MMORPGs. Time needed to get stuff just adds up too quickly. On the two occasions I've tried getting into one or another, I managed the foresight to see just how long it would take to get to the next reward. I think I stopped playing within...

    Voice vs. Choice

    To me, it depends on how the dialog comes out. In a game like Uncharted, where a ton of it is spat out during actual gameplay, the voice acting is incredible and it's key to helping the experience be as good as it can. Just reading text during those moments would be a bother, even if it is...
