Why must every MMO be eventually compared to World of Warcraft? Okay, yeah, I get it; it's the single most popular MMO in the history of online gaming or whatever, but... Not every other MMO must succeed or fail at being a "WoW Killer". It is entirely possible for these two games to...

As it was, as it shall always be. DRM and anti-piracy measures don't actually stop pirates; it just makes it more and more draconian for your legitimate customers and users to do business with you. So in other words, anti-piracy measures only seem to punish those who play by the rules.

Wait, seriously? Fox News? I thought they were pretty much the government's media sock-puppet at this point. I'm pleasantly shocked.

I just had an interesting thought... if the SOPA bill can try to shut down websites by cutting off its funding (i.e. filing takedown notices with advertising revenue, like Google's AdSense plugins, et cetera) what would happen if they sought revenue through a company outside of America's...

Four days before Christmas. No doubt a pressure tactic to squeak this thing in quickly and quietly.

Those durn 'Progressives' an' 'Intellectuals' are gunna ruin our country! Seriously though, how can being described as an 'intellectual' be a form of political assassination?!

Misconceptions: "WOOOO WE KICK UR ASS IN 1812!" 1. Canada was still a British Colony. So in essence, the British won the War of 1812, not 'Canadians'... at least not in the official capacity. 2. We did not 'burn the White House' to the ground. We set it on fire, and a large portion of...

So the gradient border along the sides of the page are to be used as more advertising space? I'm looking at an 'hour of twilight' background right now... Am I going to have to see stuff like this all throughout the website now? It was bad enough when the video-player just did it...

I'm not one to advocate violence, but I have the depressing sensation that the only way things are going to change in the United States is with an awful, bloody paradigm shift. An American version of The French Revolution, more likely than not.

Okay, I decided to use SCIENCE! rather than complain: PageSpeed Report: [https://developers.google.com/pagespeed/#url=http_3A_2F_2Fwww.escapistmagazine.com_2F&mobile=false] ~ Failed to Reach 2 times out of 3 ~ Report Score of 87 / 100 (...Huh. Didn't expect such a high score.)...

What upsets me the most about this (aside from the poor boy who was lit aflame) is that some media douche-nozzle is going to spin this into another Anti-Video Game campaign, like the Brandon Crisp story. >,<;

*gently pulls you aside* Son, you can't just start a slow-clap whenever you feel like it... But I agree with the original post. Trying something new will always be met with unnecessary hostility. And because of that, people are afraid to try new things when it comes to video games, because...

Go to Tim Horton's before noon on a Monday, for the first time in 10 years. No drive-thru line ups :D

Leetle Men Steal Our Cart! ~ Heavy, Team Fortress 2 (Payload Map) "You still got your gear, so it's your call. You can slip in quiet-like, or go in guns blazing." ~ Sergeant Benjamin 'Benji' Montgomery; Fallout 3 (Operation: Anchorage)

I'm of the opposite opinion to Crazzee. I prefer Fallout to Oblivion. For some reason I just couldn't force myself to sit down and play Oblivion for more than an hour or so a week... Which a dang shame too, since I got the Game-Of-The-Year Box Set. (Comes with Shivering Isles and The Knights...
