If you're not having fun, you're doing it wrong.

Something mindless about this article rubs me wrong. I hear too much about how RF:G is 'mayhem incarnate, lol' - and so very little about some of the amazingly innovative technologies and design choices Volition made for this project. Personally I modded the whole damn game for intensity and...

Fix that link! Magnetic Ferrofluids goes to the lightspeed town-tour! Good post =)

An apparently unrelated but thoroughly enjoyable article, bookmarked to share with others. Thanks, Lauren =)

malestrithe - Might you be generalising too much here? I'd recommend distinguishing between the old and the new school of 'Western RPG'. Between the detailed, non-linear openworld adventures with optional plot involvement, such as Fallout and Baldur's Gate, and the modern 'choose your own...

Ah, that first godawful bit of plot in Megaton. I reloaded three times in order to kill the man in white before he killed Lucas. Why? Because the first time I knew I didn't trust him, and was waiting for him to pull a gun - I wasn't disappointed, but I certainly was dumbfounded when four...

Worrying furry. It has a hard-to-define look about it that seems to be targetting a large teenage population who wish they had a tail. Or a girlfriend. These two seem to get confused, along with gender and sexuality. Usually at the same time. Garh, humanity. Can't help but think The Escapist...

Am I the only person seeing the irony of this article? Or am I the only one lacking the subtlety to just stay away and pretend it wasn't published?

"It's a bug in your country's economy! Hawhaw!"

There's a community split for ye. But seriously, no more Erin, please X.x Obnoxious and arrogant I can deal with, but personal rants are something I can get on Facebook. Other than that, a pleasure to read. Keep it up =)

Worthwhile note: As with MMOs, the quality of those you play with directly correlates to the quality of the experience and the fun you have. I've met some good friends via the website, but few and far between - Keep your standards high and eventually it links you only to geeky and rather...

Phyleron: Thankyou for the clarifications =) Heard about the game years ago, rediscovered it a few months ago and have been watching with great curiosity, waiting for a more mainstream release than the graded shop openings at present. It seems like caution on their part - they know they have...

The whole Griefing episode seems misguided - This article doesn't describe grief behaviour at all! This sounds like creative, somewhat malicious gameplay. It sounds like a simple but entertaining innovation. This sounds like fun. This sounds like what I've done for years. Not everyone...

I feel the article fails to draw the line between the 'griefer' - commonly an obnoxious retard who 'destroys your fun for kicks' as I've seen the motto printed. Remember the Barney Blockers of SvenCoop, a whole community of people who used the Barney model and went AFK in vital doorways on...

Terry Pratchett's Discworld, reading it from age 9 onward - Roald Dahl's books earlier on gave me an introduction to the perverse delicately presented. As I grew up, a combination of comedies like Red Dwarf, Blackadder, Austin Powers but above all, always - Monty Python. Consequently my...
