    Awkward and Useless Superpowers

    Y'know, I don't understand people who complain about someone overthinking things in a thread about superpowers. I could just as easily point out that contemplating the most awkward and useless superpowers is overthinking superpowers in general. I get just as much entertainment value out of...

    Awkward and Useless Superpowers

    That just makes me wonder what qualifies as a limb. Obviously arms, most likely legs, but what about his head? Or his... manly bits? Does he have any sensation or control after detaching? Would detaching his head pretty much kill him if his friends don't stick it back on in a few seconds...

    Funniest spin-off of a skyrim meme

    Also, werewolves can be Dovakin. If that doesn't show that dogs can be Dovakin, I don't know what does!

    Poll: Whats your view on DRM?

    DRM is a failed technology. Market studies have shown that software DRM actually increases the rate of piracy. One of the programmers that implemented a rather unique DRM on one of our games (it had a dozen checks spread across a dozen points in the game, and would lock the game from continuing...

    Deux Ex Classic and Deux Ex 3...

    Deus Ex: Invisible War was released in 2003. The first hour of it was horrible, but it got better as you played on. The last hour was even worse than the first hour, though. I did like the inventory system of Deus Ex 1 because things that were bigger were actually bigger in the inventory...

    The Japanese symbol for light eating me? I'd probably feel like "How the ***? This doesn't even make any sense, what is this I don't even..."

    Poll: Thoughts on 3D movies?

    This is why I said "serious tool". Up until now it was too expensive to be used in serious movies and was relegated to gimmicky amusement park shows. Now that 3D is available in most movie theaters it is no longer a sideshow attraction and a serious tool that movie makers can use. It has been...

    Poll: Thoughts on 3D movies?

    Lotsa 3d hate here. I'm going with "I like 3d", but I'm keeping in mind that it's still in its early stages of being a serious tool for film makers. Of course there are going to be some "misses" on how the 3d is used, but soon enough most movies will be using 3d in a more proper way to provide...

    Poll: Not ANOTHER Dragon Age II....

    Female City Elf Rogue, because I liked the origin story (Try to rape my character? You DIE.) and being able to convince Allister to a) make the alienage a bannorn, and b) keep her on as a lover, even though the court would find this scandalous. I did play as many of the other combinations...

    What to call the Sun in Minecraft?

    Astrophysics would say that such an object is unlikely. The larger the object is, the more the effects of gravity will affect its shape, and since gravity is omnidirectional, this favors a grossly spherical object (it can, of course, have a rough surface like planets do, but when viewed from...

    Viacom: "Youtube ruling will destroy copyright"

    "Youtube ruling will destroy copyright" God I hope so. It's just another in a long list of laws that hurt their supposed benefactors more than help.

    Enough with the subtitles, already

    We did usability research and found that by far most people want subtitles on by default. We also found that a significant portion of gamers play games with other distractions going on that make it difficult to hear what's happening, so subtitles help by being there to convey necessary...

    Poll: What Do You Think Of Will Ferrel?

    I think he's an unfunny, poor actor that people need to stfu about. I honestly don't understand why so many people around me think he's hilarious and are constantly trying to get me to watch his movies. Every now and then I indulge them and then let them know, "Yep, just as bad as I was...

    Unexpected plot twists. (Spoilers guaranteed)

    It's one of the few plot twists I didn't see before it actually happened. Bioshock and KOTOR I saw the twist a few moments before they officially said it, and I like that, but Anacrhonox was so incredibly subtle until the end.
