    EA Turns Its Back on Single-Player Games

    EA absolutely destroyed my favorite franchise, and I curse them to the deepest fiery pits of Hell for all eternity. Everything they do is sheer naked greed, pure and simple. EA needs to die, everyone involved in making these asinine decisions needs to be fired (out of a cannon preferably) and...

    You people are ridiculous

    You're both right. Certainly tracking down and fixing bugs is the sole purview of QA/Development. No one else is going to be able to make heads or tails of the code, so no one else can fix it. However, those other departments can play through the game and make notes on things that aren't working...

    You people are ridiculous

    The way I see it, a DVD for a movie these days costs about $20, and you get 2 hours entertainment out of it, if you're lucky. Movies have a lot that go into them - script writers, directors, actors, and a whole bunch of people behind the scenes making scenery, doing visual effects, recording...

    WHY are used video games bad?

    http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6wnow_zero-originality-episode-1_videogames It's nearly impossible to find the video, but here it is. Ok, so GameStop is by and large practically (and in some cases, actually) criminal. That still doesn't address the original premise of the post - that the used...

    WHY are used video games bad?

    I'll grant you that. However, there's nothing that refutes my earlier point. Whether they sold their 1000000 copies because there was an active used game market, or because prople thought it was too expensive, there are still 1000000 copies currently being used, and they were paid for every one...

    WHY are used video games bad?

    No they don't. Let's say a developer creates 100 copies of a game, and sells it for $10 each. If they sell all 100 copies, they have $1,000, and there are 100 players playing the game. Now, let's say that someone decides they're through with the game. They've gotten all they can out of it...

    Adoptive Parents Call Portal 2 Jokes Offensive to Orphans

    There's always going to be someone. In case it wasn't completely clear by the fact that she spends half the game, as well as the first game, trying to kill you, let me spell it out in easy to understand little words. GLaDOS IS BAD! She's the bad guy. She's evil. She's so evil...[SPOILER...

    BioWare Employee Busted in Dragon Age 2 Review Scandal - UPDATED

    I'm surprised at all the negative rreviews I'm seeing on here. I think this is even better than DA:O. I've yet to play a Bioware game that doesn't immediately go onto my list of favorite games, and this one has been no exception. And no, I'm no Bioware employee, although I'd love to be.

    Dragon Age 2 Lead Writer Blasts Homophobic Fan

    If you look at their "slutty" characters (Jack, Moregain, Isabella) they all are really vulnerable, and use their sexuality as a shield. Moregain (I don't know if that's how you spell her name) had a literal witch for a mother who never showed her any love. Jack was taken as a kid and...

    Dragon Age 2 Lead Writer Blasts Homophobic Fan

    You know, it doesn't actually say whether or not he plays a male character. My guess is he's just upset because the romance is actually about the relationship, and not about seeing two naked people going at it. Especially two naked women. Any bets his top search request is "Dragon Age 2 nude...

    72 Percent of Adults Support California Game Law - UPDATED

    My bad, I was looking for whether or not movies had the same restrictions, found where it talked about it being illegal, but didn't realize it was talking about someplace else. With my own experience and that erroneous information, it seemed perfectly reasonable to have this type of law, and...

    72 Percent of Adults Support California Game Law - UPDATED

    You do realize that it is illegal for a store to sell an R rated movie to a minor, or theaters to sell minors tickets to an R rated movie, right? I was carded when I bought The Matrix. Yes it's up to the parents to actually parent their children, but at the same time, why shouldn't we provide...

    Don't Use the Word "Gamer"

    The problem isn't with the word, the problem is with society as a whole. We categorize. We slap labels on everything and everyone, and try to shove them into nice neat boxes so that the world makes sense and order reigns. The problem is that if you get slapped with that label, then you are also...

    most fucked up ending to something you've ever read or seen.

    Said before, but Bridge to Terabithia. Also Where the Red Fern Grows. MASH and Quantum Leap endings both SUCKED! I was disappointed in the DeathNote ending. It wasn't a bad one, I just would have rather seen the other guy win. And every presidential election I can remember. LOL
