what is the name of the movie at 0:33 with the green tentacles and the big red eyes? I saw it as a kid but have never found it since.

While it would be great to be able to hold them accountable through some kind of legal action, the premise here is that they are out of money. I'm assuming there wouldn't be any financial gain there, and it still doesn't get people what they really want which is just the complete game. It...

Recently there has been a lot of discussion about the end of development for the game towns. I understand the reason for this and I accept it, but I haven't seen much talk about Stardrive. For those who don't know stardrive is a 4X space game heavily influenced by Masters of Orion. It is a...

I don't believe there is an issue with Steam. Let's consider the alternative: Steam has quality control and can now prevent a game from being sold simply by saying "It's not good enough". I agree, it would be nice to have more quality games, but that line of "Good enough" is extremely subjective...

Although this may have been posted earlier in the 75 other comments at time of posting. The symptom of the "pink aisle" you described would exist regardless of gender roles. I think it's a pretty safe bet to say that persons who like pink dolls will also like other pink dolls and probably pink...

Amazing that you can get Street Sharks on DVD but Gargoyles still has episodes not released. It makes me sad :(

I'm pretty sure the game, when limited to 1 city, does not require an internet connection. But a good 25% of the play is regional based, which means the servers need to keep track of what each city is doing. This requires an internet connection. One man simply debugging a single city plot with...

To everyone saying..."Why post this?" or "it's ok that you like it but that doesn't make it good." I posted this because I think it's not bad. Not that it's good, but that it's not bad. It upsets me that the metacritic score is in the 40's. I objectively think this game is better than that...

I know there is a lot of backlash against ACM for a few reasons 1. The game demos that were shown were different from the finished game. 2. The game had a lot of bugs upon release. 3. The game doesn't 'feel' like Aliens Now I understand these complaints and agree with the first two, but...

So I had this idea after watching the video attached to this news story about holodecks. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/118663-Project-Holodeck-Creates-Accessible-Virtual-Reality Wouldn't it be amazing if you had a 360 degree platform that could turn in any direction, then on...

I have seen this film and more than anything it made me think of how much the Navy SEALS give up to do what they do. If I were recruiting I wouldn't be out there saying, "Hey! Become a SEAL and you get to give up all the things other people enjoy!" I think Transformers is closer to propaganda...

Many people out there are like me. I don't like origin and I wish battlefield 3 was going to be using steam; however, I like Battlefield enough that I would still buy it. So in slight protest (not to say it will accomplish anything) I have added Origin as a non-steam shortcut into my steam...

I'm a computer scientist and it just irritates me when people on the internet misuse certain terms. The main one that I see is when talking about network speeds. Just so everyone knows, KB means Kilobytes which is 8 times bigger than a Kb(Kilobit). I see the bytes and bits get mixed up all...

I would like to comment on the use of cutscenes. I agree with the idea that I don't like seeing my character do things in a cutscene that I can't do in the game; however, cutscenes are really valuable for making me care about the story. I think one of the best uses is Red Dead Redemption because...
