    171: OMG Bewbs!

    I'm a guy, I like girls, I like their boobs, I'm a motorboat enthusiast. When it comes to cup size, more realistic is more sexy.

    Blizzard Lets StarCraft II Fans Rock the Vote

    Second portrait too much like predator. Second unit model though is more interesting. What's the deal with Blizzard's art direction though? Why, if their core fan base is getting older, is their art style for all their games appearing more G-rated?

    Porn Game Maker "Starting A New Industry"

    ESRB has it pretty rough, but they need to step it up. Aren't ratings meant to inform people? Or is it a stamp of approval that the game is OK because it has a rating? "Mom buy me this one!" "It's rated Mature?!...I can't believe this!" "I WANT IT!" "Oh ok."

    177: Hit Them Where They Live

    Nice article, the writing from the Escapist is always refreshing. "4chan's legendary apathy towards the real world triumphed." Counter-culture is not fueled by apathy; that's just silly.

    Jack Thompson Gets A Job

    When it comes to government trying to pass anything, when the motives aren't clear, then I'm forced to assume that their motives are self-serving. Since you don't seem to know either, go right ahead and delve as deep as you want into what the motives might be and you can educate us all...

    Jack Thompson Gets A Job

    I'm not a minor. This upsets me because it's an example of legislation that only has a chance of getting passed because of people's lack of understanding and care for what the real motives behind it are.

    Jack Thompson Gets A Job

    A law prohibiting mature games being sold to minors sounds completely silly to me when it is proven that video games themselves are not rated by how harmful they are to kids, but by what main stream media portrays as taboo or unethical. way to go knee-jerk emotional reactions as being the end...

    Teen Sex Assaulter Jailed, Played Too Much GTA

    "While it appears the defendant does not accept it influenced his conduct on that particular evening, it could not have helped him, I would have thought, in all the circumstances of the case." What kind of statement is that? How does he even know it couldn't have helped? Maybe without the...

    Sony Commits Future MMOs to Consoles

    If MMOs have to have absolutely as many people playing as possible, then how do you explain how so many MMOs are successful when targeting a niche market. WoW targeted a very wide market and they tried to make the best game they could, they are very good designers so they had a large amount...

    Sony Commits Future MMOs to Consoles

    How can they say "World of Warcraft continues to control the fantasy MMO market..." when currently there are other successful fantasy MMOs out there. Games are meant to be fun for their targeted market, not necessarily meant to have widest target market possible. I guess that's something...

    Things you wish a game dev would do

    How about having the strength of mobs, make sense. In MMOs and RPGs, and..any game really. Here's a very specific example: Age of Conan. Before you're level 10 you've been up against giant panthers, cannibals, and demons much bigger than you. At level 20 you're fighting hyenas and...
