Of course, how many Mortal Kombat games got released after the hilariously awful second movie? At least three to my knowledge. And Street Fighter came back from the ravages of the movie's lack of quality (hey, at least it provided Raul Julia one last paycheck for his family...)...

As kingaelfric stated, the term "patent troll" has been been around a while. According to the Source of All Knowledge (i.e., Wikipedia), it's been in use since at least 1993, and was popularized around 2001 when Intel's chief lawyer started using it instead of "patent extortionist" to refer to...

The requirements are firmly rooted in the engine used, which is the Fallout 3 engine, itself a tweaked version of the Oblivion engine. No real shock that they'd be getting a lot of stuff from the Rat Pack for the in-game radio stations. I mean, this is Vegas...

Personally, I loathe Bobby Kotick, but I'm not about to cancel the account I have for WoW, a game I *LIKE* playing, nor am I going to refuse to buy Diablo III, or Cataclysm, or the rest of Starcraft II, just to hurt him. I'm not going to stop supporting Blizzard, a company I have loved since...

Everyone always ignores the Wheel of Time Track in the Parade... :/ Here I was watching it to see if they'd gotten another Asha'man to carry the Banner of the Light in my absence this year, and they weren't even shown.

I'm not exactly sure why people have the vehement opposition to preordering things, specifically the argument of "you're paying in full for a game you won't even be able to play yet!!!!!!!1111111" Personally, I preorder games from Gamestop so that I can pay for the game over the course of a...

By my estimation, about 2/3 of the people at DragonCon in any given year show up in costume, and most of them are awesomely done. And regarding the name of the convention, it's actually named after the ancient computer that hosted the BBS that most of the planning for the first one took place...

Gorram it... Thanks a lot for making me once again regret that this was the first DragonCon in a decade I couldn't make it to. :p

Allow me to agree with the others who have said: EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!

Personally, I've no problem with gutting. Then again, the folk at the Gamestops in my area actually do it properly and give you the rest of the stuff that comes in the case along with the disc. They also tend to actually be gamers that I can get into actual discussions with regarding the stuff...

Further proof that Paul Barnett is awesome. I've liked him ever since those video blogs leading up to the release of Warhammer Online.
