    299: Casual Gamers Are Better Than You

    Ah I see well I don't read enough of Sterlings stuff to know about his sensationalist tendencies. I mostly thought the article raised some good points about why the industry seems to be focusing more on casual games and putting a lot of money and time into marketing to those people. I also...

    299: Casual Gamers Are Better Than You

    Great article and a nice open discussion about the state of gaming and the gaming industry. I am enjoying reading the comments many people are proving one of his points right with their angry reactions. Don't take it personal guys but, from the perspective of a PC gamer who is not "hardcore"...

    What is wrong with the internet?

    What is wrong with the internet? Well I think that what is wrong is that many people on the internet can relate to this kids situation. I was bullied a lot as a child and man does it destroy your self worth. Don't forget this bullying went on for a long time, as it often does. Now I'm not...

    The Best Book/Book Series You've Ever Read?

    My top series would be the Rift War Saga by Reymond Feist, this is such an epic series - I still reread it from time to time. The Discworld books are right there with them though. For stand alone books I'd say Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick or Holy Fire by Bruce...

    Open letter to women about phone numbers

    Eh as a gal I agree with the OP but I've been in many situations where I had a guy ask for my number, I told him no, he kept asking, I kept saying no, and then he started insulting/belittiling me "well you must be a lesbo" or "what you think your too good" or "I'm doing you a favor by asking...

    So escapists, what age exactly do you have to be for people to stop patronizing you on it

    Never, there will always be someone, and maybe in some cases they will be right. But there is not a cut off point. I'm 30 and I still get that kind of thing from older people sometimes. Its annoying but unfortunately you're just gonna have to get used to it.

    Poll: Mac versus PC: Let's be nice about it

    I've always been a Windows PC gal myself. I never had all the problems people have mentioned having with Windows PC's, no viruses, no crashes, no flimsiness etc. My father still has the first PC he built for our family in 96/97 and it runs well. The Windows PC my uncle built for me in '99 is...

    What movie caused the greatest emotional response for you.

    I'll agree with Toy Story 3, I had to hide my tears. But my big two are Dancer in the Dark and Million Dollar Baby. Both of those movies left me useless for days.

    Escape to the Movies: Toy Story 3

    It was indeed a awesome movie. I was nervous going in because like everyone else I was afraid they would ruin a great thing but no need to sweat it. It was fun, it was sad, I laughed, I cried. Seriously considering going to see it again. I'm just glad I was able to talk my friends into going...

    Rebecca Mayes Muses: Love Song for Yahtzee

    The song is okay, nothing special. I never did think her music was all that great. However whats more fun than watching Rebecca Mayes try to be funny in a music video love/hating Yahtzee...watching all this fanboy drama unfold on the forums. LOL you people are taking this much to seriously.
