    penny arcade equates used games to piracy

    Lots of moronic car analogies here. Here's why they're moronic. 1) Why yes, if you are deciding between a new chevy and a used one, and choose the used one, you are making a conscious decision to not support GM's attempts to become a healthy company again. This is exactly the point being...

    What constitutes a game spoiler?

    To be a spoiler it has to ruin a reveal, not just give a detail. Examples for Dragon Age, behind a spoiler wall just in case someone disagrees and has their game ruined: Details about which choices to make in order to get certain results - those are spoilers, And probably the worst kind...

    So I got cut open.

    I went in for a really trivial procedure - needed to have a steel bolt put in my foot because a fracture wasn't healing, supposed to be a little 4-inch incision, a little drilling, and then home for a few weeks of plaster cast and painkillers - and went into anaphylaxis on the operating table...

    A question for our non-smoking, non-drinking, non-recreational-drugs-using, romance seeking Escapees

    Think of fun as a gas tank. There are a billion ways to fill it, but you for some reason think that a certain 4 ways are neccessary. Who's uncreative and boring again? Frankly it's sad that you need to alter your consciousness just to enjoy it. That's not happiness.

    Anarchy? Really?

    Anarchy isn't "imagine no possessions/I wonder if you can" like the anarchists apparently think it will be. It's barbarism. It's europe post-Rome. It's if my land can feed more thugs than your land, I am your king and we reset the government merry-go-round to feudalism

    Any older games you want remaking?

    Homeworld. In fact, Homeworld should not only be remade (by which I mean graphics and interface update, no changes to missions or sound), it should also be pitched to syfy as the next Battlestar Galactica.

    Examples of good and bad placebos

    ah convection. First hollywood doesn't think you exist, now internets too.

    American Political Destabilization

    It seems worse than it is. People whitewash their memories and forget just how much political animosity there was in the past. Sure, for a while during WW2 and the Cold War we were united against a common threat, and that might have softened some of the acrimony, but consider the following...

    Physical abnormalities games absolutely need.

    everyone has missed jumping. Jumping is always, or almost always, instantaneous. No crouch, just 3 feet of vertical hop.

    244: The Last Masquerade

    I could never bring myself to play as anything but the malkavian chick. Maybe I just don't go for dark settings, but I needed that batshit humor.

    Zero Punctuation: Spiderman: Web of Shadows

    Neither of those alignments exists anymore. He's unaligned.

    You have made your points clearly, I just don't think the community subscribes to that opinion
