    The Big Picture: Fair Game

    "My opinion is better than your opinion because your opinion isn't mine." ~ The root of all flame The good news is the internet provides such a wealth of information that the masses have the ability to pick and choose which opinions are worth listening to, and which to ignore. As for...

    The Big Picture: Feeding Edge

    Love this video, especially the part about the history of carrots. Learn something new every day I suppose.

    Child Safety Bill Could Cripple Anime Industry

    Child development should be the responsibility of the parent. The government does not have the power necessary to be every child's guardian, and setting arbitrary and vaguely worded regulations is not an adequate alternative. Let parents do parenting.

    U.S. Government Plans to Expand Internet Piracy Crackdown

    I'm all for protection of personal property. If I created content I'd hate to see it cracked and stolen. However, I don't think the government will ever be able to significantly enforce anti-piracy laws without going to extreme measures.

    Are Microsoft and Sony Fibbing About Shortages?

    Plausable, but it would be more convincing if you sited your claims.

    Zero Punctuation: Call of Duty: Black Ops

    The more of these that I watch, the more I want to buy his book and the less I want to buy overpriced poorly written video game sequels. You play your cards well Yahtzee.

    Preview: Minecraft

    Minecraft is a great game at first, but its entirely about being creative. Once you finish sometihng you were trying to do you always find yourself asking, well what's next? So I built a sky aquaduct made of glass to connect my two castles safely... well I suppose I could deccorate it with lava...

    Trailers: F.E.A.R. 3 Trailer

    I would be more scared by the green phallus creeps in Minecraft.

    Critical Miss: Trolling for Justice

    This comic inspired me to listen to the court audio. The first half of this comic is surprisingly accurate.

    The Big Picture: Combat Evolved?

    That was very thought provoking... though the extent of the covenant being evil isn't as overlooked as bob makes it out to be. In halo 2 the characterization of covenant clearly shows that they are the antagonists. The profits are portrayed as flawed religious leaders who use their authority...

    Supreme Court May Be Proving Point By Hearing CA Law

    We will see. As nice as it would be for the supreme court to defend gaming under the first amendment. I'm skeptical their reasoning for taking the case would be to save the states money. Almost any law the supreme court sees is going to have a similar effect of "saving money".

    Trailers: Diablo 3: Demon Hunter

    You have a point there. I gamed before just nothing I played really was similar to Diablo 1 or 2. You call em old as dirt, but I never got into D&D or any other games like it. That's really part of what made it so great was that I recognized the architypes from literature and now I could...

    Trailers: Diablo 3: Demon Hunter

    Ok true my comparisons aren't perfect, but even when classes are "combined" they're just using two different categories of already used content. To point a few examples, the Demon hunter's abilities "fan of knives" which is directly copied out of Wow's rogue ability, the grenade ability is...

    Trailers: Diablo 3: Demon Hunter

    I know it's hard to come up with truly innovative ideas...but to me it just seems like blizzard recycles a lot of its old content and mechanics. I mean just look at the character classes: Barbarian = warrior, witch doctor = warlock, wizard = mage, monk = paladin, demon hunter = well...
