    what is your favourite RTS game and why

    My favourite was AOE2 and AOE2:TC, but I've been in the beta and now the main game, have been loving SC2. But I must admit, I've spent more time than I should have playing the original Civilization 1.

    255: A Simpler Cataclysm

    Aaaaaand what has this philosophy given us in every other game? Achievements. Personally, I hate achievements. Truthfully though John, how many people didn't get the opportunity to view TBC content? (Apart from the obvious Sunwell) There were plenty of pugs doing by the end of TBC that were...

    255: A Simpler Cataclysm

    It's strange how people who are in favour of making the game simpler always reference Vanilla WoW, while people who are against it always reference WOTLK. Personally, I think they had it completely right in TBC. Progression from gear farming wasn't that difficult. You could expect maybe 2...

    Guys playing as girl character and girls playing as guy characters.

    Females have smaller avatars. Make them harder to click on. But I think anyone that rolls a gnome must obviously have midget psychological issues. Or like children in the wrong way. EDIT: Ohh, and for those who are confused as to why people do this? I would have to say it's because a lot...

    Blizzard Doesn't Care About Innovation for StarCraft II

    Mmm I dunno. If you consider that Diablo 2 has only dropped in price ever so slowly at the retail stores since it's release 10 years ago... The game, while it's multiplayer has been more unbalanced and duped to shit for years, even on battle.net itself, is still immensely popular in the...

    Cross-over character, I choose you!

    Too late now... Goku! Lightning/Fighting Kamehameha wave (Takes 23 turns to charge up) Instant transmission (To avoid plots) Guliability (To goade your enemies into recklessly attacking) Spawn Pan (Because we all agree, she's hot)

    The Customer Is Always Wrong

    My own contribution. Been working at a pub in the Newcastle region, NSW, Australia. Was clearing up some glasses from a table one day, already had approximately 8-9 Schooner glasses in a stack in my arms, and I approached the next table that had a group of 5 guys sitting around them...

    On the Ball: Man Versus Machine

    The funny part of all this is that while a computer can beat a human so much of the time these days with chess, the GM level play is dominated not by pure calculating skill, but instead manipulation of high level psychological issues and alligning your play style with that of your own...

    Poll: NewZealand Haters, WHY!?

    To be dead honest, we don't hate you (Aussie). It's just a general cultural thing that we can share with our fellow Oceanic buddies that we can crack a joke at your expense, just as you do with ours. Hell we rip ourselves off enough, surely we can rip each other off? It's a buddy thing in my...

    View From the Road: Cheaters Sometimes Win

    http://www.youtube.com/user/SaharaDrac#p/a/u/1/SLwWUvBiX-k I think this game describes what you're on about ;P As for the tactics, completely fine. It's what competitive martial arts is build upon.

    Zero Punctuation: Final Fantasy XIII

    Lets sum this up: Those who already liked the series have played previous versions, were going to play this one, and were going to like it and persevere through it no matter what. Hence they are going to hate Yahtzee for his review. Those who have never played it before, or stopped playing...

    Battle.net StarCraft II Matchmaking Too Good?

    It's funny, because I think the majority of players who will play the game are going to be "on the lower end of the skill chart". Despite the "leet" players having much more voice on these topics and on the community, I really do think that again (such as with WoW currently), most players are...

    Battle.net StarCraft II Matchmaking Too Good?

    Yes, they may just throw matches, but it at least makes it harder to do it. I'd presume that any game that doesn't last an obligatory 2-3 minutes (or whatever ends up being considered the smallest period someone can actually win in) won't count towards increasing or decreasing your rating. Also...
