Personally I feel sorry for the police officer(s). Murdering a teenager is never any fun. Add the added joy of being called an incompetent psycho by peers, daily, for possibly the rest of your life. You people discuss whenever or not we should feel sympathy for the dead teenager who...

ITT: Knowledgeable intellectuals versus counter-strike people In real life you don't "go down" unless the gun either packs serious stopping power or you get hit somewhere incredibly vital (head etc). Hell, it's even a problem that people expect this when getting shot. Instead they hang around...

The logic behind some of the posters here is just mindbaffling. If I start logging packets, alter them, and eventually come up with a way to get invincible then noone in their right mind would disagree with me getting banned. Not even if I shouted "It's the company's fault for not adressing...

Yes, you haven't played any portable MGS. Three words for you: Metal Gear Acid.

The whole issue with "journals, quest compasses that point directly to the goal and show you the route, auto-maps, etc" is literally non-existant. If I pay attention I don't need to use the journal or even auto map for that matter. If I don't pay attention I don't have to replay a segment of the...

"So with that said what is it that makes a game story good if it isn't originality?" I feel that question has a fairly obvious answer. A story is good due to it's fleshed out (and thus unusually good [unique]) aspects. Just like having a story with a ridiculous premise won't make for a good...

To quote the first line of the article RedEyedBlackGamer mentioned: "Given its scale, Skyrim was always going to be a game with rough edges" Yes, that's why people can oversee stuff like floating mammoths and using pots to become a master thief. I'm also going to bet that the most vocal of...

My simple definitions of hardcore and casual: Does it reward players for planning ahead, timing their moves or use alternative strategies? It's hardcore. Else, it's casual. Notice it has nothing to do with how hard the game is, or how much of a learning curve it has. If doing a backflip makes...

Soloing any monster introduced past the half way mark in monster hunter 2.

Still Life II. I enjoyed the first one, but this one is seriously the most awful piece of PC garbage I've played. Off note though, check out Limbo of the lost. I haven't bothered to play it (since it's hard, non-logical and boring) but here's a video of the ending, just to show the quality...

Now I don't know for certain about USA since I'm from Europe, but the following should at least be of interest for you anyhow: * Court rulings regarding custody * Society's view on male domestic abuse victims in straight relationships * The affirmative actions; or rather, the complete lack...

Wait, so your entire class consists of people that can't even turn off their cell when they're clearly in a position where they're not meant to use it. Please tell me you're just pretending you're in college to appear cooler...

The 2nd encounter of Plesioth in Monster Hunter 2. I have seriously tried killing him 40+ times. Tried switching up my entire equipment, reading guides on the net (like 6 gamefaq guides), watch youtube clips on people killing him and even taking a break to absorb all the info I had. In the...

Kids play a lot. I know I sure did. Point being is that they're gonna transfer things they saw in games into the real world. Instead of associating looking in both directions with "Mah muh told meh tu du so" they're instead going to pretend the cars are spirit monsters. What scares me though...
