    245: Steam: A Monopoly In the Making

    I really am not one to defend microsoft, but to call it an evil empire takes it a bit too far. I am sure the motivations of MS, intel or steam are exactly the same. Sure, it is a monopoly, and you have a point, but the are all the same, not one evil and one good. The perception is in your eyes.

    You know when you play games too much when...

    when you try to pick up a glass of water and you realise your fingers do not work properly any more. when you see the mass effect conversation options while talking to someone.

    What game or series has left you the most conflicted.

    I felt like that about mass effect 2. I really expected something with lots of weapons and gadgets, and level ups. I don't know what they were thinking, but two weapons of each type in a sequel to a game with hundreds of weapons, and even devices? And the story... wow do i even care about some...

    ONLIVE to kill console and computer gaming?

    Looking at the artwork it is clear this is a company looking at gathering funds and publicity, they probably have nothing ready. It will go bankrupt soon enough. Also, you can't play fps games with their system, it will be something with the capabilities of a browser game, as in not console...

    Ubisoft's DRM Servers Attacked Again

    Ok it's called a bot net, there are many, many computers controlled by one person, usually infected by a virus or the like. It could be YOUR computer too. The point is there can be 10000+ computers so it is more than enough to crash one server. They did this (apparently) in response to the...

    So I feel like I've been getting screwed my whole life now...

    The problem is that you assumed he was giving you discount prices. Sure, it's a bit expensive, but there's taxes, he had to study, pay the rent, and at the and of the day you might have been electrocuted on a nasty power supply capacitor anyway.

    Poll: Question for Aussies

    From an education point of view you probably want to stay away from the gold coast. Yes there are parties, and fun, (and drugs), and fights, and beaches, but there are beaches everywhere here, and really, student life is fun in any city. Also, in Sydney you might get killed or something...

    Does anyone else think ME is overhyped and overpraised?

    everytime i read about Mass Effect, i always hope there will be someone who thinks ME2 is a bit overhyped, to use the poster's word. Well, imho there is no immersion in ME2, you just get sent to do stuff (you have been given some more dossiers...), I personally couldn't care less about the...

    Most bizarre video game glitches.

    In world in conflict i had one where for some reason all the explosions and scorch marks were red, it looked really creepy and i was in the middle of a really serious game, trying not to pay attention to it. Also, in Team fortress 2 there was a week (dec 2009) when spies could build...
