    Poll: Should women get the same prize money as men at Wimbledon?

    That's my take. Prize money is not strictly analogous to wages, it all depends on how much the sport makes. For instance, you could argue that a chess champion works/practices as hard as a football star (albeit in a different way... any two examples work here), but they'll never make the same...

    LoadingReadyRun: Normal Activity

    Ya, he even changed his undies on screen at one point. :D If we make the lewdness aimed across genders equally, then it's ok, right?

    I was hoping for a FMA reference there, too.

    Marketing Effect 3

    "In the not too distant future" always makes me sing the MST3K theme in my head. I find it odd that they advertise the DLC guns like that, though. Not that I'm a marketing expert, but I wonder if they were attempting to get people to see that they added more selection in ME3 than was in ME2...

    Poll: Computer accesories , pretty pretty shinny shinny.

    I consider performance to be paramount, looks are secondary. I have a Razer mouse, and yes, it enhances my experience because it has good, customizable options and is a great mouse. I have a tactile response mechanical switch keyboard that looks like nothing, but performs really well, and that...

    Microsoft to Make Budget Balancing Game

    Right. So now we are wasting money making a game to demonstrate why we can't stop wasting money. And yes, it's a waste... a game like this will not be profitable.

    If you saw your life in third person instead of first person.

    Man, I don't want to look at my ugly self all day... although at least I could tell when my hair starts sticking up half way through the day. And as mentioned, I could probably look at cute girlz without being noticed... And I could look around corners and freak people out (unless everyone else...

    Poll: Nationalism in Games

    Partly that's just because there are SO many companies producing internationally released works in America (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Video_game_companies_of_the_United_States looks to be about 500, which is more than any of the others I looked at. And if it's on Wikipedia, it must...

    Poll: Nationalism in Games

    If its ridiculously overt, then yes, I mind. Otherwise, I don't really. It does kind of limit your target audience, though. EDIT I think it makes since that historical war games have characters that are biased; that's only natural. I think the key here is to keep it reasonable. You can't be...

    Germany Is Number One in Europe for Downloading Games

    Sounds like a classic case of the government wanting what they think people want, without realizing what the people really do want. This happens in modern societies all the time, and usually it merely amounts to a party losing power temporarily, while they get their act together.

    Favourite game sayings ever

    "Am I all right? Oh, yes, master, why, I am fine. I mean, I have only just been re-activated, only to find that there are sub-standard duplicates of me running all over the galaxy, corroding my good name. But if they are, in fact, hunting you, then I look forward to the opportunity to meet these...

    Poll: Do You Treat Your Characters like People In Video Games?

    I view a high kill/loss ratio as the epitome of success, but I'm not sure how much of that is because I actually care about the characters/troops and how much is just me trying to measure my awesomeness. I think it really depends on my mood. If I'm ticked off at life/the universe, I'll shoot the...

    Poll: Games are art?

    I think KneeLord has a point here: elements of every game are artistic, so every game has art in it. The problem with talking about games like you would a painting is that a painting has one (maybe a couple) of artists... games have hundreds. So if you look for it, you'll find art in every game...
