    Sci-fi + western awesome?

    It's amusing I think. I love Cowboy BeBop a lot more then Firefly, but I do find Firefly is a better example of the genre. Cowboy BeBop was less a 'western' and more... a wild frontier style? If that makes sense? There was less of the western elements that get over played, gun slinging...

    Sci-fi + western awesome?

    I think the reason Western Sci-Fi works so well is basically because the biggest problem of sci-fi is being hard to penetrate. Often it's a very aloof genre that can require a huge investment to enjoy. Whilst Westerns are not. I mean sure you have light sci-fi, your Halo for example. Over...

    If video games had flavors, how would some taste?

    Incorrect good sir. World of Warcraft tastes of Heroin.

    More on Halo: Reach

    In regards to the story. There are low fantasy writers trying to write hard sci-fi and well obviously failing. Game devs making a game irrespective of the story. And a mix of the two trying to maintain the aloof manner of a hard sci-fi story without any real attempt to write one. There...

    American bill will allow the government to censor Internet domains.

    My point is more this. Why the fuck are the technicalities of this amendment being argued? It isn't your precious bit of law which makes America so able to call your president the leader of the free world that is on the table. Its basic human rights. If a bit of law gets changed, removed...

    American bill will allow the government to censor Internet domains.

    I suppose its a kneejerk reaction to the spread of American culture, but when I hear FIRST AMENDMENT I just see red.

    American bill will allow the government to censor Internet domains.

    So I read a few pages of this and hopefully I wont be repeating already made points. Firstly, I'm Australian, not American so that may factor into what I'm about to say. Why do a lot of the vocal American's state their First Amendment as the reason why this act of censorship is wrong? Oh, I...

    Dear Anti-Video Game Statemen, Soccor Mums and Joe Redneck Average.

    No intentional offence at your mother... haha. Sorry. Anyway, Soccor Mum is a sterotype, don't take it as a judgement on all mothers. Its a comment on a existing personnality type. Not everyone in politics is there to cause you as much misfortune as possible - just most of them :P Its like...

    Dear Anti-Video Game Statemen, Soccor Mums and Joe Redneck Average.

    True enough. Although I'm not going to cause harm. At worst there will be some head nodding, at best a few people will think on it more maybe adjust their arguements from "STOP BEING A RIGHT-WINGED PIG" to "pretencious babble" :)

    Dear Anti-Video Game Statemen, Soccor Mums and Joe Redneck Average.

    I would kindly like to point out the follow. Just because it is a game, and is created to 'entertain' broadly does not mean the following: It thus glorifies its content. It thus advocates its content. It thus implies that one reinact the content. For example the up-coming Six Days in...

    Dragon Age : Origins - An utter disappointment ?

    Also ragging on EA is a bit like calling out Coldplay. Yes, no soul. We know. Sure.

    Dragon Age : Origins - An utter disappointment ?

    Dragon Age is a niche game. Its a game that attempts to create a "classical fantasy" setting with a few twists for originality and the more bleak, dark modern style that is prevelant today. With the elves being an overly oppressed race that lost their lore, dwarves being the last dregs of an...
