The thing I'm struck by is the fact that, in the console world, we've had DRM for years. Decades, even. Outside of a few CD-based consoles that came out before CD burning was a thing, most systems have disc-checks that ensure you aren't playing a illegitimate copy of the game. And before...

It's certainly his right to do so, and it's my right to complain about it. Although they clearly tie it in to modern abuse of power as well. I don't see why my statement should be that controversial. There's lots of culpability to go around, but Bob only seemed interested in one side of it...

My point is that many of the themes this film has hit on involve both Pres. Bush and Pres. Obama, and I would at least like some fairness or acknowledgement thereof. All the NSA and wiretapping stuff seems especially pertinent, and was one of the things I was thinking about before I went to see...

Kind of my thinking as well. Or if you're going to put up pictures, throw up an image of both Pres. Bush and Pres. Obama. As it is, it really betrays the reviewer's political leanings. (Which is totally okay, I get it, but it also feels completely unnecessary.) I'm definitely excited to go...

I'm going to bring it up again, because apparently many here didn't read it. Disagree if you like, but keep it respectful. I'm seeing post after post of outright disrespect and condescension towards religious belief, and it's not conducive to any sort of reasonable discussion.

Not a good sign when it feels like I should report like half of the posts here. As others have already pointed out, religion and science are not mutually exclusive. To believe that they are is rather condescending and close-minded. I try to understand the atheist point of view, and while I...

This is phenomenal stuff. I've been a Clancy fan for years, and knew he had put in tons of research, but this takes it to a whole other level. Man, I wish he were still around. Rest in peace, Tom.

I remember that, too, but I can't stand Oprah Winfrey, for one, and secondly, there was a nice big blatant misrepresentation of Pres. Reagan in there. Oh, and Jane Fonda as Nancy Reagan. Yeesh. It was loosely based on a true story, though, you're right.

Lost all the files I had saved on an expansion PS2 card. Well, not all of them, but a lot of them. Lost multiple hours in a bunch of RPGs, and I never did go back to 'em. I still have yet to pick Growlanser 3 back up after that. It was pretty much the 8MB version of this...

So why did Big_Willie_Styles get suspended for that post? I've seen much worse around these parts.

Agreed, I've had a lot of fun with this so far. Playing on 360, and other than a few areas that have a bit of frame-rate jitter, it's smooth, and plays quite well. The exploration elements are appreciated, even if they're more scaled back than a full-bore Metroid-style game. That's two...

I enjoyed FFXIII. I know a lot of people liked FFXII, and I did like the setting and most of the characters, but dang, if it wasn't terribly paced. And the battle system was mostly boring. I thought Xenoblade did a better job of creating an MMO-style battle system that sped along more...

I realize there's likely quite a bit of hyperbole here, but I pretty much disagree with every single point made in the article. Nintendo going the way of a third-party is not the answer. At least not now. If things continue to go very, very badly, then perhaps. But sometimes the right move...

So does this mean that DK handles more like he did in DKC than he did in DKCR? Honestly, it was that weighty sense of momentum that I just didn't like in DKCR.

I was about to say this sounded reasonable... but then I realized, if Nintendo did take this course of action, then all the devs would be skittish about ever supporting another Nintendo console. So instead of throwing a few crumbs Nintendo's way, they'd ignore it entirely, leave Nintendo to...
