    Reclaim Your Game Clarifies Dragon Age 2 SecuROM Report

    This may be true, however, this episode just goes to show how out of touch the publishers and devs are with the community. How have they not learned by now, that you DO NOT FUCKING TOUCH SECUROM OR ANYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH IT, unless you want to brew a (legitimate or not) shitstorm? The fact...

    GeoHot Sounds Off on Sony's PSN Debacle

    You, like sony, Just Don't Get It. Legally, the console may still somehow be the property of Sony (though I'd like to see that one fly in court), however, the physical system and its software are in the hands of the consumer, which is inevitably going to be a hacker at some point. Thus...

    Study Claims Anti-Game Research More Reliable

    The issue goes much deeper than this. A lot of studies, especially those conducted in psychology, are highly flawed, even despite the authors' best intentions. Search "the decline effect". Very interesting article on New Scientist.

    How the sniper managed not to kill any of them is a mystery. Realism? Pffff

    Poll: Do you eat recently expired food?

    You've been brainwashed by media hysteria. If you pick a bunch of berries, what is their sell by date? How is it that just because they get packaged in plastic, they suddenly turn to poison based on some printed numbers on the packaging? The sole reason "sell by" dates exist is litigation...

    Black Gods and Female Space Marines; A Sexy Study

    Male space marines are already artificially several times stronger, faster, smarter than the average joe. Females being weaker is a cop out. The only valid argument in that respect is the nature of the creation of the gene seed. The main reason there shouldn't be female space marines is...

    Why do "realistic" games all feel the need to include the Desert Eagle as a weapon?

    The calibre isn't everything. The length of the barrel affects the muzzle velocity. What the bullet is made of affects killing power and armour penetration and muzzle velocity. If you want to *****, how about complaining that FMJ is an attachment, when the Hague convention prohibited...

    What game has evoked the most emotion in you?

    Braid just had shivers going all across my back for the majority of it. When was the biggest goosebumps I have ever had in my life. Then when the entire story suddenly made sense, I just sat there, stunned. Ocarina of Time, the Temple of Time is one of my favourite places in a...

    I haven't cried tears in years....

    Here's what you do. Wait until winter and a day when you have the house to your self, preferably if you walk the dogs. Buy 5 millilitres of antifreeze (95%) for every kg of dog, let's say 30, so you'll want half a litre, which is 0.9 pints, or around 16 fluid ounces. You mix the...

    When you have guns, why use a sword?

    Blades dull eventually Fun fact: When soldiers got stuck on barbed wire in front of machine gun nests in WW2, the gunners used their gun to cut the body out of the way. Also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpC-haFkqpM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TFIQ-7TxMw...
