    Gaming Laptops

    Looking for a gaming laptop myself recently, I've spent hours reading the notebookreview site, so I would highly recommend it. You should give us a general price range so that we know what you're looking for also. Now that I've said that, DO NOT buy Alienware. They are a boutique brand that...

    Philosophy killed by an education?

    /sigh at all the black and white opinions as the flame war begins. At those of you who adamantly state that philosophy has no place in science, and vice-versa, I have one thing to say: Plato, Aristotle, Newton, Descartes. Hah. I believe philosophy has a use and purpose in society. Look at...

    Poll: MMO's don't require skill.

    Sigh... Most MMORPG's require skill to some extent. I've played end-game wow going into T6 content. You can tell when there is someone who absolutely dumb. The entire raid WILL DIE. You can't say WoW doesn't take leadership or organizational skills. Have you ever tried managing a guild of...

    Music - Metal Demise?

    My thoughts exactly. Don't like screamo, or really the growl, though it's ok. Don't care much for hardcore. Why do you have to leave me like this metal! I discovered you at the age of 14, found out you were old and dying, and then realized I would never see you, or feel the awesomeness of...

    The Warcraft movie

    Few things I've noticed, having played WC2 through WoW, that you guys have screwed up... THERE WERE SCOURGE DURING WC3 THROUGH TO WOW! The reason the alliance went to Kalimdor was to escape them. There were still alliance, and scourge on lordaeron, and the blood elves were there, night elves...

    Poll: Stereotypes/Onesidedness/Archetypes in games

    See, people could have you play from a different historical perspective if people were sensitive about it. You could play as a german, or a japanese, but that doesn't mean you have to be doing horrible things to people in the game. I think that if the developers handled it right, it could turn...

    Most satisfying noise in a game.

    The sound of a broken neck in Splinter Cell, or the headshot popping sound from GoW. As for "Oh Shit" noises: 1. In GoW, when a chainsaw is revved BEHIND you 2. The clicking that means that a claymore has just armed in CoD:4

    Poll: Stereotypes/Onesidedness/Archetypes in games

    I don't mean I need a game developed by a different perspective, just that I would want to play a different side. An example would be the movie "Letters from Iwo Jima", made at the same time as, and if I'm correct, the same crew as "Flags of Our Fathers". It is from the Japanese perspective, and...

    Why do people hate the Xbox controller?

    Sweet, because I've heard of this in a few other forums, and am wondering where thay are coming from. I dislike the Xbox D-Pad also, when a game wants you to use it that is. =)

    Poll: Stereotypes/Onesidedness/Archetypes in games

    I'm sure most people have noticed this, but many, MANY, games, or movies for that matter, portray stereotypes against different groups (Mostly in games based off non-fiction/the real world). I for one dislike this. I don't care that it is the victors write history, I this plain annoys me. Games...

    Why do people hate the Xbox controller?

    Why do people on the internet seem to hate the Xbox 360 controller so much, I find it fits naturally to my hand compared to say the PS one, which is fine, though little too small, and I dont like how the R2/L2 buttons press for the PS3 one.

    No Game ever deserves 10/10... Do you agree?

    I'm tired of having everyone whine on and on about how a 10/10 should be the "perfect game with absolutely no flaws that makes me wet my pants and orgasm at the same time". Can anyone tell me what the "perfect game" is exactly? Besides it has no flaws? Every game is perfect in it's own way as in...

    No Game ever deserves 10/10... Do you agree?

    I believe that numbers, percentages, decimals or whatever you want to use to score games are almost completely irrelevant. The score is based on the reviewer's interpretation and impressions on the game, and what he thinks of it and how much he recommends it. The text itself will tell you about...
