    Reccommend me some PROG!

    Prog is such a wide label it hardly has meaning. Are you looking for modern progressive or classic progressive? Are you looking for something metal-ish or something closer to post-rock? In any case, here are bunch of bands that someone, once, has labeled progressive that haven't been...

    Deprive boys of video games to make them read...

    I can't help but feel that you're misinterpreting the article. Point-by-point: The article never claims that girls don't play video games. I claims, instead, that boys have lower literacy scores than girls of the same age, and suggests that this is because a large amount of boys play...

    Vexing Complexity

    Several issues: 'valuing gear' is something that's been brought up a lot in this thread. In general, gear is valued a particular way because a PERFECT player, attacking an UNMOVING boss, for some standard amount of time, can very clearly have an easily maximized set of gear. However, the...

    Vexing Complexity

    I'm a little confused. The same complexity that exists in gear in the end game is present while leveling. You can have interesting choices in gear pretty early in the game. However, this isn't important while leveling because leveling is easy. Gaining a theoretical 5% dps or survivability...

    Vexing Complexity

    I have to agree with matt. A lot of the choices you claim aren't being made actually are a huge deal in upper levels of raiding. Since I'm a healer, I'll give a few examples. As a healer, I have two primary stats, stamina and intellect. Since every item with the same item level has about...

    Rhode Island Politicians Unhappy With 38 Studios Deal

    Sorry, I was trying to be facetious, not a jerk :( It appears that humor doesn't come off well on the internet =/. In any case, my only point there was that it ultimately doesn't matter if a game company fails so long as you get your investment worth out if it. In the end I think it's not...

    Poll: A question about WoW

    Depending on how high level your current character is, and how much you hate leveling alone, you could always shell out the cash for a race change.

    Japanese Porn Game Lampoons Rape Game Controversy

    I'm hardly an expert on anything related to Japan, but it doesn't really take an expert to realize that Japan is incredibly repressed (and seriously messed up) sexually. I'm not even looking at this in terms of their insane pornography, which honestly occurs as a result of the...

    Greek/Roman God!!

    Actually, Atlas held up the sky and heavens, not the earth. I'm hardly a classics major or anything but the amount of misinformation in this thread hurts a little :(
