Since high-school I haven't had time to play it. Ah, to be young and waste all my time again. It's true that youth is wasted on the young.

Due to the way that our modern system of capitalism is set up, there NEEDS to be a very small percentage of people that are fabulously wealthy. There are 3 components of production today: 1.) Raw materials 2.) Labor 3.) Means of production (machines, assembly lines, factories) This is...

The problem with zero punctuation for me is not that he rips into games that I like -- I've already accepted that he rips into pretty much anything. The problem is that he DOESN'T rip into any games that I like. None of the recent reviews have been about games that I care about, or even will...

Real Time Strategy

It's kind of interesting that you feel that DoW units are expendable -- when I played it, I tended to feel the opposite, especially for the imperial guard. From a resource availability and gameplay standpoint, they really are expendable... But I tend to turtle pretty hardcore as IG, since I...

This happens to me every time I play Company of Heroes, and yet I still play it... Why?? Anyone else feel this way?

Yeah, the director is amazing. The beauty of it is that it works for all maps, which will make it a lot easier for modders to add new maps to the game, which will help replayability _immensely_. Almost everyone I've talked to that has actually played the demo has played it over and over and over...

Let's have fun with logic, shall we? Starting with some premises: 1.) I think therefore I am - You must be willing to accept your own existence. 2.) Existence is defined by perception and experience - If you perceive or experience something, then it exists, if only to you. 3.)...

The problem that I see with this is if you have some sort of player on a website that will consecutively play 3 "tracks" that are actually track 1 part 1, track 1 part 2, etc... Maybe that is included under the "perceived as whole" clause, but that seems rather ambiguous to me, as...

Why is there no math month, or science month? This country might be in better shape if we had more engineers and fewer historians... Just saying.

Overall, I thought it was a good article, but the paragraph near the end about the nature of kids' exposure to technology bothered me a little bit. You express how important it is for kids to get a grasp of the low-level workings of computers, such as command line arguments. You have to...

Black Box-No Use For A Name

Eh, I'm almost 20, and still try to get at least 9 hours of sleep every night... Of course I have little in the way of a social life. Gotta keep that GPA up.....

I quit: Runescape Guild Wars Both times because I got hacked and lost everything, got depressed, and deleted my account >.< And for every other game because I got tired of it.

One thing that kind of annoys me is that because half life 2 has the cool physics engine, the dev's seem to feel that they HAVE to use physics puzzles every time, which makes it kind of obvious and easy to solve the puzzles (Hmm here is a pulley system, basic physics suggest I should put heavy...
