    Obama administration: "Piracy is flat, unadulterated theft"

    I understand both points of view on this. Speaking as someone who enjoys some of the games that are no longer around anymore or near impossible to find, I like to think that I'm not harming anyone. While it is technically illegal, there just isn't any other way to get a hold of certain games...

    World of Warcraft Visual History

    This timeline made me sad. I was able to look back and see where the addiction started. The pre-WoW times were a happy time, filled with sunshine and outdoorsy stuff. Not its all dark rooms and energy drinks. Dang you Blizzard and your drug like MMO! On a more serious note, 8 months WoW...

    Being overpowered,good or bad?

    I don't mind the overpowered aspect in single player games because you can always choose to gimp yourself to whichever level you would like for added challenge. The issues I have are in multiplayer games where a class or weapon or whatever is overpowered. In multiplayer games, if I don't...

    Diablo III Adds Pseudo-WoW Crafting

    Wasnt there repairs in Diablo2...and not mention, wasnt gold incredibly easy to get to gold cap? I wouldn't let something as small as a very modest coin sink turn you off to a game, especially one with the pretty solid rep that Diablo has.

    Quit assuming I'm an idiot.

    It's not only the tutorials that are sometimes a pain. The worst parts are when the tutorials are baked into main story mode quests or some such, as is the case with Red Dead Redemption. Regardless of whether or not you've figured out how to shoot, ride a horse, or do any number of things, by...

    Poll: Is Character Coustomization a Must for RPGs?

    I vastly prefer more customizable games to those that have you being a cookie cutter player. It's fun to either make a character similar to your real self, or to make one so wacky and insane that it provides it's own sort of fun outside of the gameplay itself.

    Blizzard Squeezes $88 Million From Private Server Owner

    Totally agree with Blizzard on this. The fact of the matter is that 88 million is harsh, but it's meant to be. They had to make an example of someone, this person just happened to get the short straw. With private servers popping up and having users pay for those servers, Blizzard needed to...

    These people have clearly seen Kick-Ass way too many times

    The real question here, is do they have a crew that runs around with them with cutouts saying things like "THWACK!" and "SMASH!" or other such things we can attribute to comics? If not then they obviously have room for improvement.

    Have you been hacked before?

    Hacked in 3 different games, most recent being WoW about 2 years ago. Its amazing the drives people have to steal your pixels.

    Zero Punctuation: Shadow of the Colossus

    Always nice to have the occasional positive review from Yahtzee. Half the time the analogies are better than some of the more forced ones for crap games.
