For those who are worried because the video didn't shock you, don't. I highly doubt it was just because video games desensitized you. And I doubt even more that it makes you a monster. There are people in this world that could watch an autopsy while munching on a ham sandwich. There are others...

NASA is an old, and VERY underfunded agency. A good chunk of their budget could go towards security alone, leaving research and operations with so little money that there wouldn't even be a point calling it NASA anymore. However, this is one of those situations where they'll only get less...

Trouble is, there's not much that americans are familiar with other than ST:TNG and X-Men. He's a supremely awesome actor and entertainer, and our country has only seen a tiny sliver of his work

So you don't condone LG's actions, but you condone Sony's previous actions which led to this?

I'm just not seeing the copyright infringement. He didn't claim the mods were his own, just that this was, in his opinion, the best way to put them all together. I've seen that COUNTLESS times on other games with no issues. The only time it ever did become an issue was when a mod author went...

When I was a kid, I played a little game called Ultima VII. Now as one of the sort of easter eggs, you could pay to be with a prostitute at Buccaneer's Den. There were both male and female prostitutes, and the game didn't care which one you chose. I found out neither did I. And I still...

I would have liked to have bought this game for 10 cents, but I made a very huge mistake. I tried buying it with a gift card with only a dollar left. MS still has that dollar tied up in authentication. Ah well, I made a mistake, and I have to live with it. No biggie.

Technically speaking, Nintendo ripped off the idea for the Wii from Sony. Sony already had the EyeToy, but it didn't have many games made for it, and the technology wasn't really good at the time. Nintendo improved upon the idea by giving an actual controller so you had buttons to press while...

Another thing I thought of. If 3 hadn't been made, I don't think there would be a super mario world at all. Certainly not outside of Japan. 3 is what really made Mario a super star. If 3 hadn't been made, do people honestly think we would STILL be talking about Mario in the same way now, 2...

While I consider Super Mario World better, 3 is nothing to sneeze at. It introduced many of the mechanics that were polished in World, and was light years beyond the original SMB. It was a very solid game, and I've never once considered it simplistic. He feels they could have done more with...

Instead of complaining about how the controversy affected reviews, and from there sales, adversely, they should be glad that the controversy shed so much light on the game. I am willing to bet that the controversy actually got them more sales than they deserved. It just wasn't that great of a...

Is this why Unreal Tournament 3 was renamed from UT2007? Because they were trying to cash in on the whole third game is awesome thing twice?

To that, I say, "See Minecraft." It seems to me that lots of independent developers with zero backing have been making popular games on the PC the past several years. Could they all do better with the same financial investment as SC2? Possibly. But the general idea behind this seems to be...

Instantaction is a game service made up of ex-Dynamix and Garage Games devs. Basically they have full client based games that run from the browser, one of which is Legions, a clone of the game that put Dynamix on the map: Tribes. But it seems like lately that Instantaction is full of hot air...

I'm sorry, it's nice that he admitted screwing up, but he ran off to a cabin THEN laid off several employees. Any good will I might've had towards him vanished with that act. I can't respect anyone that has to run off and hide and let underlings do the firing, especially when it was their bad...
