You're forgetting the context for the 2nd amendment. Simply put, if not for the vast abundance of firearms in the US, we never would have won our independence from Great Britain. The fact that almost every citizen had a firearm allowed them to quickly and cheaply raise an army to fight the well...

*Sigh* You make a good point and it gets buried amidst all the sensationalist arguments. Again, guys, the US is -full- of areas where police response time can be half an hour or more. Compare: http://www.crisishq.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/z_us_population_density_map_2010.gif And...

Where I'm from, most everyone owns a gun simply because you -have- to. The only police in the area is the county sheriff, and it can take almost 20 minutes for him to reach your house. That's -if- you can get to the phone. And I'm not just talking about escaped convicts or crazies (which did...

Well, 'cause there are two whole continents full of "Americans". Unfortunately, we don't have a catchy name for the U.S.A., like Mexico, Canada, Ecuador, Brazil, Peru, etc. etc. etc. You can say, "U.S. Citizen", but that doesn't flow quite as nicely as "American". Mexicans, Canadians...

Er, doesn't being an indie developer imply your entire dev team could fit into an Astrovan and your funding consists of a jar of pennies and a wad of pocket lint? You can't go from mainstream AAA developer to indie... Semantics, sure, but Infinity Ward will -never- be an "indie" developer...

Did anyone else actually stop the video and go watch the SMG review while gleefully imagining Yahtzee slapping himself the whole time you're watching it? ;D

I haven't read much of the thread, so forgive me if this point has already been brought up. Ever seen a rollover simulation? They do them a lot at high schools and colleges to encourage seatbelt use. At only 30 mph, the body thrashed around inside the vehicle violently enough to snap someone...

Finally, some recognition for this masterpiece! I picked it up around version 0.707 (something like that :S) and I haven't been able to put it down since. It easily stands up to "bigger, better" games like Oblivion and Neverwinter Nights. The flexibility of the game is indeed it's greatest...

This is why I play mods and indie games. I once saw a mod that took place in an entirely monotone world. You ran around in a pure black or white maze throwing white or black balls full of paint to unveil the world or monsters. It was unique and visually appealing. Also, most Valve titles...

If I get the feeling of Deja Vu while playing a game, my time with that game is coming to a close. Let me clarify. If I feel like I've already played this game before just with a different art director and level design, I'm finished with the game. A few exceptions and why: Stalker -...

I loved the .357 animation. Tilting the gun back to dump the empty shells then popping the speed-loader in. I'm a paranoid reloader. I'm the guy in Left4Dead hitting the reload key every time the screen is zombie-free. As such, I hate reload systems that force you to dump an entire clip no...

Don't get me wrong, grunting cavemen aren't very much fun to play as, but gender confused 12 year olds are even less so. I may have said it in another thread, but the best characters are the normal guys in extraordinary situations. Not some skinny teenager and not some hairy caveman in power...

The total implausibility of most JRPG weapons is just one of those things that rubs sand in my crack. It's a kneejerk reaction. First, I'd like you to source that text. Maybe a longsword, but those were expensive and only lords and knights owned them. Claymores were supposed to be roughly...

That's bollocks. For a sword to be that long AND capable of combat, it needs to be folded over MANY times, making the metal very DENSE. If it wasn't dense, it would snap like a twig. With something that dense, it was probably remarkably heavy. Learn the basics of physics and chemistry before you...

MECHASSAULT I will never forgive that game for as long as I live. I grew up with Mechwarrior 3 and Age of Empires II. These were practically the only decent games I owned. When Mechwarrior 4 came out, I was all over it like a fat man attacks a pizza. It wasn't as good as MW3, but it was still...
