    Poll: Should Anita Sarkeesian debate games that are within her cultural means?

    Most of all, Anita Sarkeesian should debate games she has actually played. The fact that she apparently lifted videos from other let's players puts her "research" into question. The other problem is that she went into this project with a set goal and, dare I say, an agenda, which causes her to...

    Black Ops II Designer Thinks Gamers "Should All Play Multiplayer"

    Oh, look, it's one of those "I'm butthurt because people don't enjoy the same things as me, and if they do they don't do it MY way !" kind of whiny gamers. Anyway, why is this guy getting an interview ? *Reads article* Wait, this guy is a DEV ?! Well, I'm sure there is a perfectly rationnal...

    Ubisoft Puts PC Piracy Rate at 93-95%

    It's funny, we've had the same thing in France a few years back, when our Home Office stated that illegal entry into our territory was going down, according to numbers which I guess they obtained by counting the illegal immigrants that entered unnoticed. Seriously, though, where did that number...

    Braid Dev Says Auto-Save Warnings Waste Time and Money

    Ok first off, I don't believe that coding a little flashing save icon can possibly cost so much time and money for it to be of any significance in the budget of an AAA title. Secondly, while I have always felt that each and everyone should be allowed to express their views on gaming, I feel...

    About to get a ps3, needs advice

    Well, hello there, fellow escapists. I am currently a pc gamer and a student waiting to get the results of his exams. The thing is, if I pass, my dad said I'd get a ps3, which I 'd select myself (which means I'm gonna try and get my hands on a second-hand, ps2 retrocompatible one, which I think...

    The "you knew it would be like this" argument (D3 related, but not only)

    True, you expect someone who buys a car to implicitly agree to pay for the gas. However, if you were to buy a car, only to have its engine explode five seconds later, you'd say you've just been scammed. My main problem with TOSs and EULAs is that they are given for you to read during the...

    The "you knew it would be like this" argument (D3 related, but not only)

    I'm sorry, but I believe you're mistaken. Indeed, an unsatified consumer has weight in, say, WOW, because if he isn't satified, he'll end up cancelling his subscription. Now, D3, on the other hand, is more of a one-time purchase. Sure, the AH will be an important revenue stream, but I don't...

    The "you knew it would be like this" argument (D3 related, but not only)

    When did they stop putting system requirements on the box? It was my understanding that the box says under Minimum System Requirements: Broadband Internet Connection. Yup. The thing is, english may not be my mother tongue, but I am fairly sure "You need a good internet connexion" does not...

    The "you knew it would be like this" argument (D3 related, but not only)

    Tell me about it. I am, every instant,, thinking about buying D3 anyway, just because I adored D2, but then I remember that not buying it is the ONLY way we have to make ourselves heard. Really sucks, actually. Yet, when you say that people should have known better, I really cannot agree : the...

    The "you knew it would be like this" argument (D3 related, but not only)

    I've seen a lot of people, here and all over the internet, giving various justifications for why we should be ok with the D3 always-online thing, most of which were picked up and attacked by others (such as Jim Sterling and TotalBiscuit). However, there is ONE argument no one ever attacks : the...

    Why do people hate the army?

    My feeling is, I know that soldiers usually mean well, but I really feel like they are simply being used by big corporations which are getting insanely rich through wars, especially in the Middle-East. Yes, I know most soldiers hope to befriend the civilians and to bring them democracy and...

    Square Enix Sued Over Kane and Lynch 2

    Ok, I only took one info from this : the in-game murder of chinese people may soon be outlawed. The Dynasty Warrior franchise is SO screwed if that happens.

    Teen faces expulsion after brining stun-gun to school to fend off bullies

    This was America. The kid brought a stun gun, and not his granddad shotgun, please keep that in mind. Now, if he hadn't done it, in what situation would he be ? The same as before, with the bullies eventually killing him or turning him into the kind of guys you hear about on the news, after...
