    Health Care Reform and Obama

    This is going to make or break him, and Im afraid the pharmaceutical lobby has already done irreparable damage to his reform campaign. The reality is, the hospitals and pharmaceutical companies dont want to see any kind of reform, because they know any savings for us means they lose profits...

    Is it OK to be a gamer?

    LOL. All that lobbying by the pharmaceutical companies worked. You already pay for my health care. Who do you think foots the bill when I go to the hospital? Me?!?! LOL. No. You, and other taxpayers. Obamas plan is to make health care cheaper and more available to everyone, so through...

    184: Punch-Out!!'s Black Eye

    This article to me represents the overall mediocre quality of the writing on The Escapist. What N?Gai Croal has to say in a few sentences is much more powerful, relevent, and coherent than this ham-handed drivel. "Punch out is the most racist game ever"? Statements like that just smack of...

    What's with folks making jokes about tragic news stories?

    Humor is how some people deal with these incidents. You might find it distasteful or immature, but its basic human psychology. Also, where do you draw the line? Are Monty Python skits about people dying in the Black Plague not funny because millions of real people died? Of course not, its the...

    Your Most Epic or Embarassing Moment Online

    LOL. I think that was my room in Burnout. Here is my moment: ""Shieeeelds!!!! Get the fucking shields! Ohhhh my goooddd!" Those are the words one hears right before they enter The Panic Room in Horde, the new 5 person coop mode in Epic's smash hit, Gears of War 2. What is The Panic Room...

    When Will Games Be Too Much?

    Consoles like the Neo Geo and 3DO in the 1990s costs the equivalent of $1000.USD today and the games were $100 each. Thats already happened, you missed it, they failed, and now everything is cheap, and given the economy, its likely to stay that way for quite some time. Next topic...

    Adventure gay-ming...

    Its a GREAT idea. Dont have many gay men in the game, mostly gay women, and it will sell fine. Im simply giving you some business advice here, not trying to make a political statement. Sadly, most str8 males would have zero interest unless the game is focused on women. The Sims, but...

    This place desperately needs a ratings system

    There are so many terrible, unreadable reviews littering this forum it really begs the question why there isnt some sort of ratings system used. Im just throwing something out here, say 1-5 stars, and you need a certain number of posts in the forums, like ten or twenty, before you can add a...

    Why have I been playing Gears of War 2, nothing else, for 2 weeks now?

    Left 4 Dead - Ruined by People

    Im going top have to agree with Yog and say it isnt XBL's problem or L4D's problem. Its actually something you need to work on: making friends online. You cant just hop into a random room and expect maturity, communication, teamwork, or skill. You might be lucky to find one player in a...

    Poll: Do harcore gamers still matter?

    PC gaming is the home of the hardcore. With Steam, Direct2Drice, and Gametap, and a whole crapload of MMORPGs, you dont even really need a DVD drive - just a big hard drive. But the Wii has been disappointing so far. Okami and Mario Galaxy are the only games I like on it. The Virtual...
