    Xbox One Limited To 21 Countries At Launch

    I pretty much thought the same thing. But you know, seeing as in the last 2 months I have only had concurrent internet use for 7 days (and counting) due to the excessive cable theft in my area, it wouldnt really have made a difference if SA was on that list.

    The Hobbit Reviews Are Unjustified

    I dont know hey, I for one was terribly disappointed that Tom Bombadil was not in the movie. Now the fact that I basically skipped all the pages where he was in... is besides the point. In essence, Peter Jackson's directing reminds me quite alot of George Lucas' directing. Both their...

    Eurogamer Expo Bans Booth Babes

    I actually entirely agree with the banning of booth babes. There is absolutely no purpose. And, if you are married, all this does is upsets your wife, and if you actually care about your wife, this in turn makes you have an awful time. Notwithstanding that, its insipid. Having some 'lolly'...

    You first "**** This" Moment in Gaming

    Most recently, this weekend in fact, was dark souls, where I had to, for the second @#%%^# time start the game over after 12+ hours of gameplay because of a stupid bloody mistake... the worst part was, that after having flung and utterly destroyed my controller against the wall, I picked up my...

    John Carmack: PC Is Not the "Leading Platform" for Games

    You are being over sensitive.

    I'm leaving the Escapist.

    Maybe we can assume that when he stops responding... he has gone blind? Anyway that sucks mate, you made me all paranoid now about going blind - I even starred at a distant tree for a couple of minutes before posting... :) Best of luck.

    Concentration Camp Game Canceled Due to Backlash

    So we can make games that are 'obscene' to other people, like the cubans, the somalians, the french, the pope... but when it comes the the holocause (inadvertent, but appropriate, typo) it is a no-go area? The ADR's list of 'protected persons' appears to be pretty exclusive.

    Poll: Do you agree with the Black Ops Swastika Ban?

    I have reasoned this soundly, but I have decided to 'censor' it just like the 'censoring' of the symbol. The reasoning for banning it is, quite simply, childlike. But I expect it is too important going up in arms about something ridiculous and getting your '2 cents' instead of getting that...

    Biggest argument you've ever started.

    Meh, it was in argument several years ago, before there were gaming tournaments (just after the release of quake 3) and just before forum moderators actually moderated, the topic was 'is gaming a sport'. I ended up throwing a hissy fit and left the forums because of someone named 'mad cow' -...

    Computer Virus Removal Leads to Worldwide Conspiracy Scam

    Well, it stands to reason that he is terribly creative, and not terribly sane. Knew this one guy at a 'mental health care facility' that was convinced that he was the mayor of (some small town in Texas, forgot the name) and wrote michael Bolton's hit songs, and that the CIA kept him locked up...

    Oldest game you still have the box for?

    Hmm, Planescape Torment, Fallout 2, Lords of the Realm 2 and Full throttle. Although, I have lost the discs for Lotr2, Full throttle and Planescape. Also, I discovered the other day that I have an original disc for quake 3, but I think I accidentally 'appropriated' that at a lan, I can't...

    Is this why people hate the Star Wars prequels?!

    I didn't like the new ones, but I didn't hate them untill the last minute or so in the third one where Hayden Christensensen tried to throw his hands in the air and shriek in anguish. He looked like some sort of idiot who couldnt forsee that his arms can't actually go above his shoulders (on...

    What is the worst, un-painful feeling of them all?

    Meh, walking barefoot on spilt sugar in the kitchen. I think what makes it a wholly unamusing experience is that while you are trying to dust it off your feet, the location of the broom is all you can think about.
