    I've just had an encounter with LoL's infamous "players"

    Honestly the best way to deal with online harassment of this type is to simply ignore it, or block/mute the player if that's possible. Allow the other player vent his/her frustrations, but do not respond as that tends to make the situation worse. I find people tend to shut up when they realize...

    Does the Mass Effect 3 extended cut fix what was wrong?

    Mass Effect 3's extended cut DLC is a definite improvement. However I think you should play the ending for yourself (with the EC) and form your own opinion before looking into the original ending.

    Employees review Bioware/EA

    I live in Edmonton, how good the city is depends on what time of year it is. Edmonton follows the standard 4 seasons in Canada: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction. For the 2-3 months of the year that we get summer it's great. We have ridiculous amounts of urban...

    Poll: EA, Activision or Ubisoft. Which is the least horrible?

    Both EA and Activision own several development studios that make their games. An example of this would be Bioware (a division of EA) and Infinity Ward (owned by Activision). So when I say EA/Activision make great games, it's like saying Ford makes great cars. One uses their development...

    In Defense of Hepler Mode

    Don't, it's a one way ticket to alcohol poisoning. Original topic: I actually played a mission in Mass Effect 3 on story mode. Ended up just meleeing everything to death because it was so easy. Except for the Cerberus turrets, those things can fuck your shit up fast even on story mode.

    DLC abuse

    Why the hate towards retake mass effect? All I see is hate.

    Because they generally act like spoiled children that's why. (except for the charity thing, that was very nice)
