    Call of Duty Developer Gets Death Threats After New Patch

    When a sizeable chunk of your fanbase are loudmouth teenagers and preteens, who mainly use your product to speak of other user's mothers' sexual acts and/or physique; and you change something that upsets them, you will not get a rational debate.

    Best single mission in a game

    Replaying GTA:SA for the billionth time and all I can say is: Kidding, kidding. That jetpack The Truth mission grants you is pretty sweet. Was not expecting that from my first playthrouh.

    Ender's Game Author Asks For Tolerance After Boycott Threat

    Love how passionate people are about these kinds of topics, assholes or no. This guy is a dick, the guy who came up with Earthworm Jim is also a particularly juicy sample of male genitalia. Do I like that worm? Fuck yeah. Do I buy the products from which that bigoted, close-minded idiotic...

    Capcom Suffers Layoffs

    I am in no position to have any insightful comments about Capcom's business strategy or recruiting model. All I can say is that Mr. Svensson seems like a pretty cool guy. Kudos to him and how he handles this. *Thumbs up*

    can one's beliefs be held apart for from one's achievements?

    Correction. Mengele was a shit scientist and horrible at conducting scientific experiments. His research was unusable and his deductions entirely wrong, mainly because of his own biased beliefs. That said, the Japs did some research that's entirely unethical but entirely valid, mainly...

    Give some advice to customers

    General: Don't be a dick. Classic. We get paid peanuts, we stand behind a register, we may wear silly company regulated clothes (thankfully I haven't but they exist, presumably to humiliate employees further). If we had any say in the prices or the way the company is run we wouldn't be...

    Your Least Favorite Part of Your Favorite Game

    Skyrim Sure it had its fair share a fuckload of problems but as with TES: mods are gods. But it was a terrible port. The fact it wasn't large address aware to begin with (and the fact that a mod community fix came considerably earlier than the official is lulzy), and being a 32 bit exe is...

    13, 16, 18, Now - what were you like as a teenager?

    Oh goody, I will have fun reading through this thread. Music played a big part. 13-15: Oh what fun. The weird kid. Always kinda "out of it" never paying real attention. Grades started slipping as attention wandered through space and time. Classmates listened to Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Korn...

    PRISM - Where are all the protests?

    The plan is working, nobody cares anymore. Not really. We wear Hugo Boss sweaters, H&M trousers, buy cheap plastic things made in China and Coca Cola by the bottleloads, and brush off the obvious cruelty these companies employ to make production cheaper. Capitalism, fuck yeah. In this age of...

    Most disappointed sequel?

    And now for something completely different. FlatOut 3: Chaos & Destruction Ultimate Carnage was so fun at LAN parties (ah how I miss those), just having a laugh driving like crazy with your mates. How do you fuck up a mindless chaotic derby car game in this day and age you might ask...

    Craziest Game Character

    Fucking right. I'd forgotten about her. Yeah, she's bonkers. But I doubt it's the devils tobacco that messed up The T, more like thirty years of LSD, shrooms, mescaline, DMT, ibogaine uppers, downers, and practically every known (and probably a few unknown) psychoactive substances under the sun.

    Craziest Game Character

    The Truth (GTA:SA) An old time hippie with a bazooka saved for a rainy day. That guy was so not right in the head (yet weirdly a bit right).

    Does anyone else find "plot twists" in games gimmicky?

    This guy is to trolls what pre-teens are to gays. He's "just confused". OT: Plot twists can be truly remarkable, but nowadays it has become expected, and that's annoying. Subverting a plot twist will be the next cool thing. 'Yer a victim of domestic abuse, Harry. This dream world of...

    The worst insult

    This thread made me think more than it should've. My mom once called me socially retarded. That stung quite a bit. I've never been much of a people-person, so what? I don't actively seek out social interactions but don't actively avoid them either. That was a few years ago and she probably...
