    Like a lightsaber up the...

    Actually, it's my understanding that the books go beyond the 35 years. I think one of the more recent ones has Luke as an 80 year old. It actually goes further than that if you want to include the Legacy series of comics as canon. The Legacy series takes place 200 years later. And for...

    TES V, New Ideas

    How about a TES game that offered the entire world (even worlds you could gate to a la Oblivion), or even set on one or both of the moons (don't know the back story, so I apologize for my ignorance if the story doesn't allow it). There would be a main story, but players would be able to bypass...

    Games that have been ruined by their Fans

    Yeah. I call that BoTS Syndrome. I imagine it's been around since before that mod, but that's what I call it. I don't know if any of you have played Quake 2 or Quake 3 Battle of the Sexes or not, but there was this guy that made it who had it perfectly balanced for both games, and then he...

    Games that have been ruined by their Fans

    Are you refering to players complaining about the way developers balanced things, so they get all upset and complain until the developers change it?

    Video Games Are Evil! (a pre-emptive strike)

    I think there IS a game lobbying group set up (or in the works).

    Entering "The Zone"...

    I've experienced this state, myself. I've read somewhere that it's an elevation of alpha brainwaves. It's pretty much the same effect as an athlete running or a monk meditating.

    EA's Peter Moore Says Activision-Blizzard "Can't Compete With Us"

    Yeah. The people I know call him "Baghdad Bob". He was hilarious.

    Jack Thompson Served With Show Cause Order Over Courtroom Antics

    Yeah. They're sick and tired of him, so he's basically feeling like he needs to take on the court IN court. Also, isn't there a mental disorder involving people who refer to themselves in the third person? Something relating to narcissism? Wasn't there a game called "You Don't Know...

    Jack Thompson Served With Show Cause Order Over Courtroom Antics

    This guy is so full of himself that he refers to himself in the third person?

    What's this thing about Koreans?

    My home town here in the States had something like that. Problem was, it dropped that part of the business and is now trying to set itself up as a ISP. It might work, but it'll have to be in a place that demand is high.

    Dune 2000 has become adandonware! Get it now!

    And, if it turns out to be true, you may want to report it on Liberated Games.

    In the NIU shooting, guess what's first to blame?

    I'll second that.

    New Mexico Videogame Tax Proposal Fails

    If by "progressive tax" you mean "living wage", then, no, we don't. Apparently, people in our government see a living wage as being like the EU (because European countries tend to have one). That and the rich corporate leaders don't want to lose $1Mil a year just to pay their minimum wage...

    ESA Forms New Political Action Committee

    Nice. Hopefully we can get them to get the government to better understand games, and then maybe they'll get JT to shut up.
