this thread could use some specificity. "discs" are currently being used to describe three things that have nothing to do with each other. some people are using "discs" to describe CDs, which hold ~800mb, some are using "discs" to describe DVDs, which hold up to 8.5gb (dsdl) and some are...

the more times i read the posts in this thread, the more confused i get. video games are toys. toys are items that provide creative diversion, distraction, downtime, playtime, non-productive fun, etc. whether or not people judge you for playing with toys at whatever age you are, that's...

you've probably just described 7 out of the top ten selling games of 2008, or 2007, etc. i agree with you, tho. gamers are not the most demanding audience in the world. we accept a lot of half-assery in pursuit of our hobby.

i meant no disrespect on the gender thing - i called you he and she in different points in my post. i've no clue what you've got between your legs, didn't want to assume either way. as for this sacred pedestal, i dont know where that impression is coming from. market-wise, MMOs dominate...

someone's been cherry picking george f. will's column...

i play most FPSes with music off after awhile. i just want the sound effects, ambient noises of the game. i figure if i were really the last space marine left on mars fighting an invading army of demons from hell, i'd probably NOT be listening to an ipod at the time.

"i have no interest in comedy films." that sort of statement just comes off sounding narrow-minded and counterproductive to a discussion about woody allen or mel brooks, no?

cant agree there. one of the main reasons that MMOs have avoided precision twitch based control schemes is latency and the reality of hundreds or thousands of players hammering a server with movements at once; but its no longer a hard and fast rule that MMOs have click-lock-drool control...

not to necro, but i've heard it and the score to spellborn is insanely good. (its also huge. almost 1gb of .oggs...) (combined with the game's graphics, its an awfully alluring package) but yeah, jesper kyd and matthew florianz definitely made one of the most abstract, flowing and...

the entire reason the radio is funny in GTA is that radio (and other media in general) in real life is just as inane, pointless and self-serving.

dreamcast. i'm playing it now, actually. (capcom vs. marvel 2)

it took me months of being very confused to figure out 24 hour time. what did the trick was buying a mobile from singapore that had no way of displaying am/pm.

the fictional 30km zone of exclusion from the stalker games.

day / month / year makes sense, because days make up months that make up years. months do not make up days.
