    Excuses on the High Seas

    My translations seemed to ruin my point a bit, yes I meant available ont he first point. And for the second point I meant stores where you can more easily try out a game before purchasing it, have free acces to the game in the store before the purchase. Buying a game blindly on reviews is...

    Excuses on the High Seas

    I wasn't normally going to post again after I gave my justification for why I pirated 3 games (2 of which I ended up buying, 1 of which didn't work on my pc) I wasn't normally going to post again, seeing as how these threads tend to become lenghty debates about "what is and isn't piracy, what is...

    Excuses on the High Seas

    I have another reason for downloading, one that isn't on your list. I download games that have specs on the box higher than my pc specs. If they run on my computer (I'm looking at you Mass Effect, Red Alert 3) eventhough my computer did not have the specs I go out and buy them. If they don't...

    Things you have done that have ruined a game for you.

    Engineer rushes. Especially in red alert 3, engineer rushes with twinblade helicopters. Rushing I don't mind, but having to look out for a single helicopter that can appear out of some obscure part of the fog of war where I didn't have a scout yet, because if I react to late I'll lose any...

    183: Steady Hands Save Lives

    When it comes to the people who have a history of gaming being better at the simulators but only to a certain point I believe it might be because after a certain point your skill in a game doesn't improve that much due to your own individual capabilities but because your understanding of said...

    Funniest Movie You Saw

    The weather man. What can I say, I have a really weird sense of humor.

    Zero Punctuation: Age of Conan

    I whole-heartedly agree with the issues you pointed out, but there are some things I'd like to add. Having played the game myself up untill currently level 60 (going at a snails pace of a few hours per week) I can tell you that the reason you most likely got ganked so often is because...

    Zero Punctuation: Webcomics

    In my opinion you need to see this joke in perspective. The idea behind it I thought was to appeal to people who had just spend some time in the game the jokes about. And after a few scenario's in which you see people ending disputes which games of bejewelled or whatever it was, I cant...

    Entertainment Weekly Ranks 50 "New Classic" Games

    I don't understand what the criterium for "Classic" must have been? To me a classic game is one that started a trend of games all in the same genre because of the innovations brought forth by said game. As such a young game can't have a spot in the list unless it was really and extremely...

    "What would you do if you woke up..." Game

    ... Go ask the characters how the hell they're going to fight Superman in Mortal Kombat vs DC. If the next person wakes up to a room full of cackling aliens probing him/her...

    Whats the most boring game you ever played?

    Universe at war. Ever played that game? It seems to have succeeded in creating the stupidest slowest ai EVER! I managed to leave the pc on for half an hour during a skirmish and when I came back, I was still alive, in fact I had so much money the next 5 minutes was spent queing all my...

    Zero Punctuation: Webcomics

    Just one thing I'd like to know is, how do all of you who claim to hate Tim Buckly actually make up such harsh opinions about his persona? Do you know him through anything else but his work? Have you met him personally? What do you know about his daily routine? The way some people are...

    Zero Punctuation: Webcomics

    I'd just like to say that I only found this site through a web comic, namely GU-comics. And I promptly watched all the episodes before registering to make a reply. Not that it's usually in my nature to post on forums, I'm not registered on any web comic forums for instance. The major...
