    Poll: Is this legal?

    Hope you have some documentation on the abuse. If you where not part of a union contact the local labor relations board or it's equivilant in your area. Really sounds like they are trying to screw you over.

    Is Left 4 Dead, dead?

    Really for the age of the game those are good numbers (5 years ago) . Then you add in that many L4D players porbably own L4D2, it is even more impresive.

    A BioShock Infinite Primer

    Very good article. I have studies the time period some (not an expert by any means) and you did a good job. When we get to Columbia in just a couple of days (YEA!) I think we are going to find that there will be no "good" side. Heck I wonder if Booker is going to be a decent guy at times.

    Things you will always defend.

    I will always try to defend the truth. Have gotten a bad rep in a few places because I didn't tow the "company line" due the facts.

    Oversexualized but well written characters

    Compared to some of the stuff in the manga, the Major is overdressed in SAC. Several characters in the show make remarks about how the Major dresses. Particularly right after she complains about women being objectified. :)

    Gaming plot holes

    Well, most people act stupid in a horror/action game/movie because they don't know they are in one. :) While the military personel certainly are trained to fight, are they going to have weapons on had to do it with? Look at modern navies. Most of the time they don't carry weapons unless they...

    Gaming plot holes

    All it did was have to kill a single person and it probably killed a lot more than that before being put down. And that given the necomorphs the material to work with. The main character of the series had an advantage because he read messages from other people how to destroy some of the...

    What do you LIKE about the current state of gaming?

    I like that there is a huge selection of differnt types of games by all kinds of people out there. Small game studios can get their hand on bleeding edge tools, bring their visions to life and get it out to the public. Ten years ago getting a game out was a major problem and getting a good...

    Gaming plot holes

    With respects to ME2 and camera footage. Given the advanced technology it would have been very easy to fake footage, so why bother. If they didn't belive what Shepard was telling them they woudl not have belived the pictures either. The Council probably would have not belived Shepard unless he...

    How do you maintain a positive outlook in a seemingly hopeless situation.

    First of all try very hard about NOT thinking about your problems. The more you brood on the the worse you will feel. Also you could probably spend that time doing something constructive. Also act happy. Even if you don;t feel happy act happy. This can actually trick the brain into thinking you...

    "Moral" Choice systems and Choice systems impacting gameplay and story. How to do them right?

    I think this is called a moraless system, rather than a morals system.

    "Moral" Choice systems and Choice systems impacting gameplay and story. How to do them right?

    Most moral choice systems I have are extreanly bianary and lack subtlty. Either you are a saint or the devil which is unrealistic. Also they cannot take into account WHY you make a choice. In Bioshock 2 there is a character who in taped messages wanted to die because he was turning into a...

    Why is multiplayer still being forced?

    Som companies certainly are trying to force multipalyer into everything (Hi there Crytech!) and K2 even shoved MP into Bioshock 2 for soem reason. They tried to make a decent MP but it ended up stinking badly. With some games MP works, other games MP is the worst idea in the world. Fortunatly...
