    Nintendo Records First-Ever Full Year Loss in 2011

    lol why didn't they try to hedge those foreign exchange losses? With all those sales they could afford someone who understands how to use forward purchase contracts on cash balances. My first thought was: earnings management! That they washed deadwood assets off their books through their...

    What games were trying too hard?

    Truth. In the end I took the "good" ending because... why not? It's the end. Same as Fable 2. FF13 and Star ocean: The New Hope were two big ones. A protagonist with wings on his armor and chickadee blonde hair named Edge Maverick? Really?

    You see, ladies? THIS is why men think you're absolutely insane.

    "Samantha, 26, recalls: ?I finally thought at last I?d found someone decent and six weeks later I?d moved in with him." Yeah, well. There's your first problem. Sides. Take a look at Jane! Who wouldn't try for it?

    Gamings biggest douche.

    Really interesting way to put it. I figured the actor's voice coach instructed him to go over-the-top and that's what he did.

    Is playing through Oblivion without fast travel fun as well as challenging?

    At the very least it would result in a very high athletics skill. If you were really ambitious about multitasking you could work on your acrobatics skill as well!

    David Cameron calls for all teens to do community service.

    40 hours' community service were compulsory for me to graduate high school in Ontario. It was kind of a pain but hey. Wasn't too hard. Did some volunteering, worked at my school library, and so on. It's just too bad that Cameron is such a jerk that everything he says makes me want to disagree...

    This Is Why Seducing Vader Is A Bad idea

    It's like the project is trying to be provocative... for the sake of being provocative. So, buddy's just trolling.

    50 Americanisms That Brits Apparently Hate

    1. If Steve has a more efficient way to ask casually I'd love to hear it. 4. This is a useful contraction. Simon needs to relax. 5. I've never heard this before, but disembark sounds like a good alternative to me 6. This is also a contraction designed to sound casual- and less...

    Escape to the Movies: X-Men: First Class

    Whoa, wait what? Did we see the same Wolverine movie? I skipped X3 but I liked Wolverine a lot.

    French Filmmakers Go Back Into the Matrix

    The dubbing actors need to practice, but this was excellent fan work. The summary to me is that, if you need CG, call these guys. If you need writing... eh... keep looking.

    298: Who Needs Friends?

    I agree with your conclusion, that better human connections make better games, but I refute every premise that leads up to it. Games are not devoid of human connections: you just didn't find them in the ones you played. Soap and McTavish, growing to be brothers in arms. The Spartans were as...

    The Internet Pollutes the Atmosphere More Than India, Says Greenpeace

    You, sir, just won this thread. Cool beans though. Still doesn't mean I'll take Greenpeace more seriously than the streetside preacher because they both sound the same. At least he doesn't vandalize other peoples' property.
