    Extra Credits and the Escapist

    So... following what it is unfolding on the Extra Credits facebook page, I have to say I'm shocked. The only question, without making any extreme statements or assumptions, is why? Why would the Escapist do this? EDIT: Of course, it is all still happening, but I feel the fact that was has...

    Dear EA and Bioware.

    How about engaging in some genuine cinematic brilliance (which is what I call these trailers) in order to set the tone and engage the player in the world they're entering. I wouldn't call it gimmicky, and I would make the argument that anyone who thinks that these cinematics represent gameplay...

    Games that SHOULD HAVE a sequel, but don't

    Relic just acquired the intellectual property rights to Homeworld a year ago, and they've hinted several times at a new Homeworld game being in the works. Fingers crossed chaps!

    Why are gamers so cheap? Should games cost more?

    Move to Aus. Pay more. Get the same as everyone else. It doesn't make you feel better.

    New internet censorship bill would force search engines to censor themselves.

    Yeah, we've already gone through this in Australia. Americans will have less trouble dealing with it than us via the US Bill of Rights. If you can stretch Freedom of Expression to cover multi-million dollar donations to political campaigns by corporations, you can stretch it to cover this.

    why not hate the police if your not a criminal??They do it all the time in my country!

    I live in Australia, and as such do not understand the animosity people have towards the law and the police, even in my own country. The truth of the matter is that you're only ever going to interact with the police when something goes wrong, when you're in trouble, or you've done something...

    Brink, Popularity, Whaaaaaaa?

    Seemless transition from solo to multiplayer is an interesting concept. Curious to see if it works.

    Mass Effect 2 was NOT "dumbed-down"

    With the original premise of the thread, I am completely for the argument made. I found nothing 'dumb' about the game, and get rather annoyed at people who rage about how it was. It was less complex of a mechanical level, but this was due to shifts in gameplay focus and improvements on old...

    Games that have aged incredibly well.

    Homeworld 1 and 2, especially 2. It's hard to believe it came out in 2003, it still looks incredible and plays better than the most contemporary 4X RTS.

    Women in Frontline Combat?

    It's tricky. 1) Men who have seen women wounded in war have been shown to suffer much more severe trauma than those that have not. 2) Men have less complicated bodies, and are less prone to complications from injuries than women. 3) Men instinctively act to protect women in danger...

    The New U.S. Penny design is a terrible idea.

    The whole thing is redundant. I'm Australian and even I know that the majority of Americans do not use pennies, that the majority of toll booths no longer accept them and the process of mining the copper and zinc to produce the useless things is expensive, detrimental to the environment and...
