I still don't understand why people thought that Duke Nukem Forever was going to be good at all. I had seen gameplay videos before it came out, and it looked terrible. I wasn't disappointed by that at all, because I never touched it. Portal 2, DE:HR, Battlefield 3, Arkham City, Skyrim are all...

The single-player is way too scripted, linear, filled with quick time events and enemies which totally ignore everyone except you (which is often a lot of people) and have simply incredible ability to notice and shoot you. But really, the single-player is pretty damn irrelevant for BF3. The...

I have AdBlock, and just disable it for certain sites, like JustinTV & TwitchTV (for Starcraft 2 streams), The Escapist, etc. No need to uninstall it.

Republic of Dave. Well, it wouldn't be called Republic of Dave anymore. After rigging the poll, it would become Domain of Duncan.

The last boss in Expert Realm of the Fae in RIFT. It was alright. Not very difficult, visibility is pretty low.

I've voted sub, but if it's a good dub that's fine too.

Not only that... apart from waiting for a boat to rescue you, you hardly have anywhere to go. You're not trying to swim a few hundred metres, the Titanic sank no where near land.

Men make children too. I'm 21. A 10 year old is 11 years younger than me and so has on average 11 years longer to live. Do I get the same preferential treatment from a 32 year old?

But still, it's just a complete non-factor. The human population is hardly alarmingly low and women have ~30 years of fertility, very little of which they generally spend pregnant.

Is the human race at risk of going extinct due to lack of women, or that women don't have enough times in their lives to have an appropriate amount of children? This isn't a valid argument even if women were having children all the time without sperm being involved, which they aren't.

I care pretty much infinitely more about myself than I do about strangers. I'd rather have EVERYONE else die on the titanic than myself, let alone a single person. So no, I wouldn't give up a spot on the lifeboat for a woman or child. The whole thing's stupid anyway. Children sort of makes...

I don't think that people are saying that these micro-transactions are a good thing, just one that is pretty inconsequential to the actual game.

That's like saying that littering is equivalent to murder. They've denied you of something that is roughly equivalent to nothing. Removing parts of levels or entire levels would be millions of times more effectual than that. Also, they're extras. Really pointless expensive extras, but still...

It's more like a fee to change the color of your screen on the alarm function. It's really a totally pointless thing to complain about given that what you're being deprived of is essentially nothing, and a nothing that was never advertised and no one expected anyway.

However, you're complaining about something that is the absolute height of inconsequential. Okay, you might dislike the practice on principle, but you can't possibly think that it's actually an issue for enjoyment of the game, can you? They're a few totally pointless hats.
