My understanding is that a number of "Tom Clancy" books are ghost-written. And anyway, unless Ubisoft releases a Red October video game, they likely couldn't release a book in that series.

Why would a babysitter be responsible for a birthday party? I mean, damn Mom and Dad, does your night out really have to be that night?

Maybe you need to clear your cache. I'm not sure how it's done with the Orange Box. Hold down both bumper buttons while the game is booting up, perhaps.

Ah, getting better. Several laugh-out-loud moments, and I loved the Combine bit. I admit I was skeptical about this series at first (well, I'll stay reserved), but if this keeps up I think I'll enjoy it quite a bit.

In all likelihood the attention-seeker-who-must-not-be-named would just turn it around and say, "see, vidja games are training simulators!" Still wouldn't occur to him that knowing how to do something, and the desire and will to do it are entirely different. Anyway, good on Paxton. Society...

Unless you factor in that most people have some degree of foresight, in which case they chose to hold on to their money for a game released at a later date. Of course, as you said, we need to see a comparison between consoles to know if that's really what happened.

Huh, guess I'm not in the console mainstream, because I hated the idea of the chambers. Enough to simply revert to saved whenever I died (I think this may have helped me enjoy the experience more, by enforcing the survival horror theme). I don't mind them as much after I heard a late game audio...

Well, I'm fairly certain System Shock 2 hasn't been cleared, and they host that. I believe they try first to point users to somewhere they can buy the game, if there's no place to be found they host it themselves, and take it down if/when the C&D order comes down (they also take down their files...

Would certainly be fine by me. There are plenty of old games that I missed when they came out, and now are next to impossible to find. A comprehensive catalog would void the need for "legally grey" sites like Home of the Underdogs.

One has to beg the question of whether Mordred was telling the truth, or if he was merely role playing in his correspondence. Not that there aren't an unsettling number of people like that out there.

I'd have to agree with Bongo Bill here. The old graphic style may have been too much work, but couldn't you keep the magazine layout? This just feels convoluted, like any other gaming news site (none of which I read on a regular basis). I'm sure the content will continue to be great, but I...
