Well this is an interesting thread. Nice to talk about something other than tech every once in a while. I'm not a drinker myself, but I love dishes cooked with wine and different things like that. A lot of things cooked with Jack Daniel's No. 7 are pretty good, especially the things featured at...

The mouse and keyboard is the definitive way to play first and third person action games on the PC and is far more intuitive because you can use all five fingers in your left hand, which means it is quicker, as well as using the mouse for aiming. Jedi Academy was a brilliant system, and the...

Other than the fact that the game looks like it was made on the original half life engine, it seems like it is pretty cool.

I think the market needs to move away from the point and click MMO system. We need immersion. If an MMO came out that was like Oblivion or Morrowind, that would be something I'd put money down on. I think hybrid games with game play elements from multiple genre's is where single player and...

Agreed. I felt Gothic's system was particularly intuitive if you took the time to really understand it. I liked how you had to hold the mouse as a "ready" button and then actually use the directional keys to provide different swings. This mixed with something like what oblivion already has would...

Sorry, I think I misunderstood what you meant. I agree, Oblivion now needs to go deeper, along with many other games. Although deeper wouldn't necessarily work for all platforms though (I'm mainly a pc gamer), and I think that could be what made Oblivion feel a little dumbed down. Not...

I personally love Oblivion and I believe it is a step in the right direction. Bethesda needed to do something to make it feel more quick and varied, but other than that, I thought it was infinitely better than the to-hit die roll found in Morrowind. I find dice rolls now a days to be a...

You're misunderstanding me. They didn't say those things in this particular article. That was my point about how comments get presented in the media. Its like they make the major headline "VIDEO GAMES KILLED ALL THE KIDS IN THE SCHOOL!" and other more prevalent issues like the fact that a killer...

My point was that the media downplays other negative factors which possibly would better fit the definition of "cause" for an action just so they can blame the games for the resulting violence. I'll be the first to say that I firmly believe in Christianity, but I was not trying to be dogmatic in...

I partially agree with your statements. That's why I believe that games should be available only to people of the appropriate age. M-rated games shouldn't be available to twelve year old children. I'm pretty certain that if you looked in a law book somewhere, allowing a child to have access to...

This story is indeed tragic, but not because children were playing a video game. Never once does anyone ever hear from the "news" (see propaganda) about the parents who should be held responsible for these situations. They never talk about the parents who buy M rated video games for children who...
