    Games that have been ruined by their Fans

    i respect that you disliked the game, but if you only played it for 5 minutes, then you're not really qualified to pass an objective criticism of the game. that's like seeing the first 5 minutes of a movie and saying it sucked. How much could you really experienced in those 5 minutes. A level...

    This is How The World Ends...

    That'd be a mistake, as a Fascist America would almost certainly be an expansionist America, moreso than even the alarmist now are proclaiming it now to be.

    This is How The World Ends...

    I believe politicians come in three flavors: the idealists (of whom you would most like to believe them all to be), the megalomaniacs (of which I would assume there are few, if any), and the bureaucrats. I feel about 75% if not more of our politicians call into this last category. These are...

    This is How The World Ends...

    True, but I believe literature -at least in the past- has been a reflecting glass through which to view society. George Orwell certainly intended his books (specifically 1984 and Animal Farm) to hypothesize about a society he felt was forming. But then again, I'm biased: I want to believe that...

    This is How The World Ends...

    So, essentially a mixture of apathy and despotism. I'd have to concur. I look at America right now as akin to a frog in a slowly warming pot. As long as we are comfortable and do not perceive ourselves as being in danger, we'll blindly allow ourselves to boil. I was at the doctor's with my...

    This is How The World Ends...

    I'm going to start this by asking two things. First, I'd like anyone reading and responding to this to approach it academically. This thread isn't meant to pick at scabs of simmering Anti-American hatred. I'm not looking for a long series of soapboxes for either fervent hatred or blind...

    Your Greatest Sleeper Hit

    I'm going to say System Shock 2, although honestly that's a textbook definition for "overlooked greatness" in gaming these days. It's possibly the best combination of survival horror, FPS and RPG to date, spawning such renowned games as Deus Ex and Bioshock (it's spiritiual descendant)...

    American Socialism, What's It All About?: A Fireside forum with i_am_undead and VikingRhetoric!

    And I wouldn't be. I'd rather be proven incorrect or fallacious by an educated opinion (such as yours) than see an endless parade of staid rhetoric like I was seeing develop. I'm not soomeone afraid of being proven wrong. I encourage it. Only an idiot believes they are always correct, never...

    American Socialism, What's It All About?: A Fireside forum with i_am_undead and VikingRhetoric!

    The primary issue with socialized health care is one of finite resources. Let us say that everyone in a 4-person America were to pay $50 per pay period for health care (a tax for healthcare, if you will). George makes 400$ a pay period, Len makes $200 a pay period, Ralph makes $100 a pay...

    Poll: Star Wars vs Star Trek

    Hell, let's toss some other factions into the fun, break out of the Star Wars vs. Star Trek retro-mold.... How about.. The Galactic Empire (of Palpatine) vs The Imperium of Man (WH40K): Yes, AT-ATs were nifty, but an Imperium Titan would walk on on a leash, like a dog. And Star...

    I <3 Fox News

    seems the 'expert' is already suffering some consequences of her misinformed opinions: http://kotaku.com/348355/quack-gets-amazon-book-rating-spammed. Of course, Amazon has since stepped in and censored any and all commentary on her books, invalidating their own integrity. I personally think...

    Poll: What do you want from Blizzard after Starcraft 2?

    Diablo - as has been stated, unlikely due to the fact that most of the team has moved on. Regardless, it could be compelling to have new blood in on the franchise Any MMO - unlikely. WoW is the most popular MMORPG out there to date. Despite claims it's 'dumbed down' the genre (which as a...

    Mass Effect, an RPG or...SODOMY SIMULATOR?

    I need you all to look at something... here... on my ass.. see that mole... yeah, that one.. and that hair right above it? This guy is about a popular and well know as the hair by the mole on my ass. Ignore him. Maybe I should forward him a link to the Illusion website.. nothing...

    Poll: WOULD YOU SAVE OR DESTROY?

    If I had the power, I would DESTROY. I would rule all existence with a velvet lined iron glove, a benevolent tyrant where my will is law and my needs sated by supple and lovely, buxom yet scantily-clad babes. I would have cheetos served on platters of titanium and the best vintage of soda...

    Poll: Who are the fathers of the modern genres?
