    Escape to the Movies: Black Swan

    Thanks for spoiling the movie dickwad. From the trailer I had no idea that the mutations you see were hallucinations. Next time please leave the spoilers out >:(

    266: Videogame Myths Debunked

    I agree with you. I'd really like to see someone back up these stats. Go to a library and ask each person if they play games. Go to mall and ask. Go to a college and ask. Go to a bus stop and ask. I seriously doubt you'll find the number of girls that play even close to the number of guys...

    Why British Papers Hate Games

    What does this have to do with conservatives? The stereo type is conservatives like guns and violence. It's liberals that want to ban video games. Tipper Gore, Hillary Clinton, http://www.physorg.com/news5230.html http://www.senate.gov/~clinton/news/statements/details.cfm?id=240603...

    131: A Day in the Life of the Social Loner

    I agree with many of the comments that the author is creating his own hell in some ways. Still, some of it feels true in others. For those of you who saw the movie "Juno", this is the kind of stuff the husband was going through. It was clear his wife didn't approve of his lifestyle or share...

    71: Game Journalists on Game Journalism

    71: Game Journalists on Game Journalism

    I would really like to see some true criticism. Example: Gears of War, best game ever and maybe it is.

    56: You Got Your Race In My Videogame

    I don't see the default avatar as white male. As far as I can tell that is your personal bias. Japanese players don't play Ico and think "that guy is white or brown", they see him as a little Japanese boy, Yorda as a Japanese girl and the baddies as demons. Nor do they play most of the other...

    55: Cold Equations: The Death of a Game Company

    30000 copies of a shrink wrapped game is certainly a problem but 30000 copies would be fine for a small company doing online distribution of games today would it not? I see companies here in Japan selling online games created by 2~3 people plus a few contractors for voice. They put out about...
