I hope everyone remembers SOPA, a radical, reactionary anti-piracy bill that failed because the American people saw their rights being threatened and stood up against it. Well now we have CISPA, a bill suspiciously similar to SOPA that has already passed the House of Representatives because the...

I remember distinctly how the Escapist became my homepage; a long time a go in my basement I was trolling the web trying to decide whether I should cough up the money for Prototype or Infamous. Both had been around but I hadn't gotten around to choosing one yet so I googled "Prototype vs...

I drive my car into the nearest ravine, skip town, change my name, return three years later then drive another car into the same ravine.

In absolutely no way were oblivion or FO3 disappointments. They were colossal successes and brought way more fans into both franchises. I'd be willing to bet the success of FO3 and New Vegas alone is whats keeping the Fallout name in the media at all, and all thanks to Bethesda. Even if YOU were...

idk about combining them. i understand lifetime like i said if your confident youll keep playing the game but if you have to pay lifetime and hourly? thats alot of dough, and at this point we might be spending more than monthly

even so infinite dollars is a lot of money.im just tryin to think of some better ways to go about funding all the things they need

and thats a good idea meganmeave. i wish there was a way to do away with extra charges entireley. for example i could deal with advertisements as an alternative. its better than paying over and over, and the revenue could keep the servers running

Thats basically what the microtransactions are, i think d&d online do this. you buy the game but pay for premium experiences areas and items

The announcements, trailers, and gameplay footage of the old republic have sparked an interest in me that i havvent had in an mmo before. This genre has never really appealed to me and until now, i havent looked into any mmo's at all. But looking at the old republic has made me realize, do i...
