    About Starcraft 2 without LAN support

    (Given as I almost exclusively play on the LAN with my family:) 1) I can't get 3G phone servivce where I live and the broadband drops every now and again - therefore SCII multiplay is looking dodgy already. 2) Battle.net will require seperate serials for seperate accounts. WHAT? We will...

    Jack Thompson Given Freedom Award

    This man speaks the truth. That show is nothing more than a bastardized (and outlawed) '60's psychology experiment... pointful... The sooner we all ignore Jack, the sooner he goes away, he's only got as much influence as we let him have.

    Does gaming create social rejects?

    Those of you on the "not everyone plays or understands XXX" points, consider that for every one person whose played some video game, a few hundred have probably played football. That's because football is older, and has had more time to gain acceptance

    what are you afraid of

    I'm scared of letting my friends down, or being killed without being able to save them T_T I don't know why my nightmares always happen to my friends (within the nightmare), but I can tell you, it sucks.

    Desensitised

    I was bothered in Republic Commando when one of my squad mates died. "We'd" fought three campaigns by that point, and it was like... :o He died! But he's so cool! I have (almost) total concious control of my emotions (Unless they're really strong, or I'm drunk) so I was desensitised before I...

    why can't we be friends?

    You'll be forced to sit on the sofa with your broken legs, and being incapable of doing anything with those, you'll be forced to play the PS3. Shame.

    Does anyone here know c++?

    Try learning Pascal? You could step from there to C / C++

    Do you still enjoy games

    Last enjoyable game - Portal. Why? Innovation. EA have rehashed the damn BF format a thousand times.

    Who here has played Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast? (The best Star Wars game ever)

    I enjoyed JK2, but was it just me who struggled to solve some of the puzzles (due to the object you had to push/pull/destroy not being very clear)?

    Buying games from STEAM = ripoff?

    Steam probably rocks for me as I'm in the UK and it's £1 to ~2$ right now. That being said, I don't have any money to buy anything.

    My Portal Review

    It took me about 8-9 hours - with the harder puzzles and my unfamilarity with puzzle games of that complexity being the stumbling blocks. My whole way of thinking about game enviroments changed several times in two or three levels, but I always try to learn something from what I do, so I may...

    Bioware Releases PC Requirements for Mass Effect

    "Of interest is the requirement for only 1 GB of RAM for Windows XP users, but 2 GB for Windows Vista users. Bioware makes no mention of dual or quadcore CPUs" Basically, what MS write on the back of the OS box next to "RAM" is what's required to run the OS, not anything you run whilst using...

    STOP VIRGIN MEDIA! if you are one of their costumers, quit!

    Pff. I wonder which companies will be willing to pay for the "fast lane" - unless the "slow lane" is anything less than a 1-Meg, you won't notice too much... Any idea on what this would do for internet gaming? (FPS).
