    Iran Sentences Game Developer To Death

    Canada is easy and possible, but I don't like Stephen Harper's latest comments to Iran. He's jumping on the bandwagon with the "Iran is dangerous" talking points. I don't know anymore....

    The right to bear drain cleaner?

    First of all, the reason there is an uproar over this, is because it encompasses more than just "drain cleaner". I've read other articles prior to viewing this thread, and I've listened to people's testimony in other states or in Illinois. It adds to a list of "40 or so products", and it...

    The right to bear drain cleaner?

    I'm not the least bit surprised that a person who rationalizes fascism on a video game forum, doesn't have the effort to spell check cigarettes. 1 If "gangs are known to melt bodies" with drain cleaner, then I think "drain cleaner regulations" should be on the bottom of the "concerns" list...

    Poll: How many of you have actually read the SOPA bill?

    Never heard the term 'slippery slope'? Absolute power corrupts absolutely.. Let me ask you this, what benefit does SOPA have for any average citizen? The American track record (lately), is that any broad, sweeping legislation is to be misused and outright abused. (PATRIOT Act anyone?) I find...

    Borderlands: Worth $15?

    Only if you have a friend, or friends to enjoy it with. If not, then that's a definite no. There is no game in the single-player, it's far too shallow. It works well as a dungeon-raider with guns, with friends.

    Circumcision: a Pillar of American ignorance

    See no evil, hear no evil. Most people just want to pretend, or rationalize, or simply just create conflict to cover the shame. You're right OP, it is certainly a pillar of ignorance.

    Saints Row or Skyrim?

    I asked the magic 8-ball... Skyrim - "Outlook good" Saints Row - "My sources say no" So it is written, this prophecy is now sealed. Those who choose to break the seal, become a messenger for the end of the world, and an agent of Alduin! www.ask8ball.net

    Please don't criticize games for being similar to previous games.

    Well, to be fair, sports games are a bit different. They're not made with marks of innovation or their creativity, they're more or less just iterations in sports. Much the same way real-life sports operate. They have seasons every year, rosters change, teams advanced or fall, and then repeat...

    What did you think of Homefront?

    I don't get why everyone thought the "mass grave" scene was so compelling. Shock value of that nature only works if the protagonist has yet to discover how malignant the opposition is, and made to face the reality of the situation. Homefront doesn't even do that. From the get go, the Koreans...

    Asexuality as a Defensive or Coping Mechanism?

    I don't think you could fairly determine you are 'asexual' if you are still in your teens (at the least), in my opinion. Some people say it just to belong, or to legitimize what they perceive as an "undesirable" trait (no relationship, no intimacy, etc). Whenever someone displays 'angst' in...

    What do you think separates humans from other animals?

    Unnecessary, methodical cruelty. Animals can be pretty cruel, but it's usually for a specific reason (battle, domination) or out of sheer animal curiosity (studying prey before you end it's life, to sate your pride, learn about it up close etc.). Humans.. well, we're a bit different. We...

    How Bout a courtesy lick once in a while technology?

    It's kinda based on the Babylonian debtor's slavery system. Basically you produce cheap-quality, over-stressed products so they inevitably fail and either force you to purchase anew, or spend more money fixing it. Either that, or you get off the wagon, like your friend there. As we go further...

    Rumor: Iran Responding to Battlefield 3 with Anti-Israel Game

    I just walked into the Ministry of Truth. Can't be fucking serious. The world is done. Stop the planet I want to get off.

    Rumor: Iran Responding to Battlefield 3 with Anti-Israel Game

    Tell me about it. My problem isn't with the fact that there are a metric-F-ton of war games/media in the middle-east. The problem stems from the fact of how entrenched we are in that entire area. I'm talking hundreds of bases here, and that is not counting the jump-off points in Europe and...

    Rumor: Iran Responding to Battlefield 3 with Anti-Israel Game

    You do realize we are going to war with Iran, don't you? Do you not read any news on the subject. I already explained it in my op. America would throw a "shitfit" too if they were surrounded by about 100 military bases, and Canada and Mexico were occupied. Because that's the reverse scenario...
