Didn't "Phone Story" get banned from the App Store because it stated it would give some/all revenue to charity? http://phonestory.org/banned.html http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/113012-Apple-Bans-Anti-Apple-App Admittedly, Apple had more than just that to go on, but I'm...

"No cover bitchez!" That's an awesome selling pitch

Gamers wanting a taste of the ol' good stuff should check out UFO:Alien Invasion. It's purdy darn good (that's a bit of an understatement) http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/News

I expect greatness. This is a game by Eric Chahi - creator of Out of This World / Another World!

There should be an easy way to "thumbs up" a single message. This one definitely deserves it, especially as it covers a new idea that hasn't been brought up yet in all these pages of comments. (Or maybe it has... I kinda skimmed over the larger walls of text)

I think what Jim was getting at is that it's about being in control of your emotions. Getting offended at something is fine, but keep that anger and indignation in check so that your brain can process the entire situation and act reasonably. Somebody calls you a naughty name, or insults you...

Hear hear! Saw this a few years back. It was bloody awesome

I honestly hope that they will donate the $25,000 regardless of whether they hit their target or not, but in any case I will "like" them - it's a small thing to do to help ensure more money is going to relief funds. Maybe hardcore facebook users that actually care what they are seen as...

Lester died?! I always thought he was beaten within an inch of his life, and was just unconscious. Now I am having the moist eyes :(

I had a real tough time curbing my gaming hours when I first got married. And then we had a baby. I was still able to sneak in an hour or three here and there, and it has been enough. Sometimes when our girl was still a baby, we'd sit her in our lap while we played games together. Now...

My initial reaction to this title was, "cool, an article about Lori & Corey Cole!" Slightly disappointed, but still a good read. My current wife is not a gamer, but I remember teaming up with my brother to play "harder" sim games like MechWarrior. We couldn't handle all the controls solo...

If you have a family, you can't just go tell your kids "Ok my job's moved to Canada so get ready to leave. Take only what you need to survive."

My answer: it depends on the game. As has been said, death and death penalties make dying and surviving meaningful. Otherwise, you're just going from A to B with some minor inconveniences along the way. You want to talk masochistic fun? Get yourself a copy of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, a...

I don't have a console, so that option is out the window. Even if I did, I'd probably stick to the PC version.

Colour me excited. I am almost finished the original (I think), which I bought earlier this year from GOG. Loving every minute of it!
