    Poll: Do You Date?

    I went on one date, while I was in High School it was some dance. It was sort-of fun but not really anything particularly special. I am not very good at social niceties and would sooner do without. So until I get so lonely that I must find a significant other, I am just going to live my life...

    German Consumer Group Hopes To See Valve In Court This Year

    That is how licensing works, "License" by definition is to give permission. So you buy permission to use the games and if you do something that is not liked they take your permission away. So nowadays you just rent games for an upfront fee, that you don't have to return until the owner wants...

    German Consumer Group Hopes To See Valve In Court This Year

    Oh I can see it now. It will be just like World of Warcraft, account hacking will become a thing, they can sell all the games in your library to a second account for mere pennies and resell them for actual profit. There will be stories of people making thousands of dollars buying and selling...

    Favourite Programming language?

    I have only really ever programmed in C++. So that counts as my favorite. I did try to learn java a little while back but for some reason it was really hard to learn. Honestly if it counts I have started to learn SDL. Which is more of a library than a language but you still have to learn...

    Unforgotten Quest: Kickstarter This Weekend!

    I personally think this looks like a fun game, I am just not sure on how motivated robert moran is. He seems to bounce from project to project, and although he wants to make unforgotten realms his primary project he doesn't release episodes in any sort of consistent fashion. But unforgotten...

    Quantum Conundrum ending - anyone find it odd?

    The ending didn't really seem to flow with the rest of the game. It sure wasn't what I was expecting. I was expecting to have to escape an exploding house. It did seem odd that such an upbeat game suddenly ends on this weird, your gone but at least I am out here to fix everything, note.

    You Are Probably Using Google Chrome to Read This

    The real question is why do the links in the article link to an almost identical article with links in it to another article that is almost identical. All written by Greg Tito.

    Tera vs. Guild Wars 2

    Well I have been playing Tera and, other than my first two pieces of armor, my character is no longer scantily clad. Secondly I hardly think the Elins are being over sexualized to look like prepubescent girls, they were even censored for western release. I am not even sure I know what a...

    No UMD Transfer for the Vita

    Is this guy anti Sony/vita or what. Three articles about how the vita is terrible in a month and a half. I mean it hasn't impressed me but I am not going to write tiny little articles that don't say anything. Well I guess it does say "I think this thing sucks."

    HOLY FU- Anonymous is PISSSSSED!

    I am reminded very much of this xkcd. EDIT: aww two people beat me to it Because they didn't do anything at all. It is just what people hear. They can fix their website simply by blocking the ports being attacked. So it all depends how much the web site administrators care to...

    Longest boss fight?

    Kingdom Hearts 2, has the longest ending I have ever seen it just keeps going and going without any stops. You keep fighting random collections of bosses that are either the main boss or are entirely superfluous. All the while having no opportunity to save, thus making you have to do it all in...

    can a character be too powerful to be a game protagonist?

    I cannot think of a game at the moment, but yes overpowering a character makes the game very boring. The proper way to do it is like halo 3 or infamous. Where you are not actually that powerful, but if you are very skilled you will feel like a Jedi-ninja, as you prance about in the middle of...
