From a game play perspective, the sniper rifle is supposed to be more effective the further away the target is, to the point where at extreme distances, even the most incompetent marksman can get a few kills. So, high damage+EXTREMELY unwieldy. Black Ops did this decently by having the most...

I think the Nameless One from Planescape: Torment deserves a mention, if only for all the loops he had to jump through just so he COULD die.

OH COME ON! Ninja'd by the guy right behind me!? /agree, but still...

This is getting RIDICULOUS...or at least ridiculously LOUD. I will admit that I am a PC gamer by default rather than choice; I once did attempt to buy a console with my own money, only to have my parents refuse to allow me to connect it. That was annoying. Call this justification of my...

I LOL'd. 69 minutes? at time of writing I have been gaming for 5 hours and this is not abnormal for me.

No, I call shenanigans. I don't think EA has the right to say whether or not you are allowed to use material you purchase from them. There are no actual laws regulating this sort of thing, it's all done with industry standards. EA is going beyond their bounds by flat-out denying game access...

Man, they didn't have to pad it like that. The game has a metacritic of 85, last I checked.

I smell trouble... This is NOT a movie that was well set up for a sequel, let alone a trilogy. And agreeing to TWO more movies instead of one is always a red flag. Remember, Cameron, you've got all the money you want, do NOT phone this in.

Mass Effect: Run, Shoot, Micromanage, talk, talk, talk, and (if you talk enough) booty. Doom: Run, shoot, guns, demons, MORE guns. Bioshock: Would you kindly run and shoot? WoW: don't stand in the fire, do throw lightning bolts. Gears of War: CHAINSAW!!!!

What you would be looking for here is a direct correlation between the amount of violent video game content an individual has absorbed and a willingness, or lack of inhibition, to INITIATE violent behavior with others. In other words, prove conclusively, with no attributable X-factors, that...

Well, I don't think I need to comment on the wrongness of infanticide, but...I wonder... Is it even POSSIBLE to get homicidally angry playing, of all things, FARMVILLE? I'm genuinely curious here...I've never played anything on BookFace; what about a farm sim can be that frustrating?

That bit at the end is possibly THE most horrifyingly funny image Yahtzee has ever constructed. Kudos, Croshaw!

I don't think OP means medically. Your logic inversion does make sense, but I think it also proves the silliness of trying to base the whole debate on 'functionality'. The number of things a civilized human does that don't jive with natural instinct towards food, shelter, and baby making would...

Magic Missile!

No, that's right. You can start learning a skill, and to do so takes a set amount of time, which passes regardless of whether you are online. But this doesn't answer my question, which is: how does EVE discourage ganking above another MMO?
