So PvP arenas for Diablo 3 will be coming out a couple weeks after the Starcraft 2 custom maps marketplace, right? I love Blizzard.

I enjoyed Vandread when I watched it, but looking back at it I honestly can't remember any part of it that wasn't crap. I guess my variety-starved teenage self was just glad to be watching any anime.

Hey in a world where necromancers are as numerous as cockroaches no one stays dead forever. And everyone knows the first thing to do when snatched back from the jaws of the eternal rest is check your pockets to make sure everything's there. Zombies are too slow to track a Dovakhin who travels...

This attitude that people in the games industry have towards used games is disgusting. I don't see car manufacturers or construction companies bitching about people buying used cars and houses, and I'm sure the amount of potential profit those industries are losing is much larger. Make a game...

In all fairness the new update makes practically everything unnecessarily difficult to access. I wouldn't hate on microsoft for it though, it seems to be more of a product of incompetence than outright malice or greed. They were so concerned with unifying the UI for Windows 8 and the 360 that...

Using old and annoying memes in an ironic or joking fashion is an old and annoying meme. Run-on sentences are still running on and on and on in your "real" post. No I will not participate in your test, grammarphiles are as annoying as the grammarless. Dude games have always been ripping...

Just rename it to It Starts Dripping From The Ceiling & Is Then Mopped UP, a meditation on the futility of trying to keep our world clean and organized in the face of Mother Nature's beauty and chaos. We must either give up and live in harmony with nature or work at destroying nature itself...

Man I was really hoping to get through this holiday season with just Skyrim and Skyward Sword. Volition, did it have to be Sublime for this trailer? Did it have to be what is easily my favorite song to sing in the car? Did it have to be zombies? Just take my video game companies. Just...

To rephrase Istvan's question, in what way have they acted immorally? They never promised backwards compatibility, don't lie and say they have it, and the history of gaming hardware has not created a reasonable expectation worthy of condemning them for not including it.

Yeah, and I really hate how when they released the 360 and PS3 they snuck into everyone's houses and stole their old consoles and games. Oh, wait... They didn't. Well, at the very least, they defied expectations by bucking the trends they created previously. I used to love playing my N64 and...

Yeah, I ran a few games on 4e and even with the streamlined nature of it and only 4 PCs combat could take upwards of 2 hours for the larger fights. If your players are like mine, and want to think of the most ridiculous ways possible to accomplish their goals, it could be even worse. Split it...

I just smash my face into the plate and start chewing, obviously that's the most polite as it shows how irresistible your host's cooking is. Obstacles such as "utensils" and "cleanliness" cannot be allowed to get in the way of enjoying a good meal. But seriously, the concept of rules for the...

I'd say the most reasonable way to think about this issue would be comparing the good that these tax breaks do (keeping decent jobs in the US and keeping game developers and publishers in the US to pay taxes, even at a reduced rate) to the money lost in tax revenue. The issue of larger game...

Is there really still a console war? I mean, I'm sure people have a preference and all but I find it hard to believe there's anyone still seriously arguing hardware and pouring over release schedules to see what games they can brag are exclusive to "their" system.

I tend to save my evil playthrough for the second time around, once I've gotten used to the game and the immersion is pretty much gone. Then I don't care at all. The only time I can remember that I've felt really bad about a moral choice is when there's no right answer, or the morally good...
