I think my family got the impression Resident Evil 5 was some sort of voice-activated game based on how much time I spent screaming at the screen, "Shoot him! Shoot his face! Shut your stupid mouth and pull the trigger you damned fool!" I get the same reaction when I watch the news: "You...

I have a bumper sticker that says "Political correctness means always having to say you're sorry" Too bad it's sitting on my shelf. I don't want to offend anyone...

Loved the Loud Song. "Of course, the reason working for humans is more profitable is because humans are always asking you to kill other humans." What is up with humans being the only race that regularly makes war on their own kind? Elves did it once, and it's a legendary no-no.

And CRPGers wonder why I prefer tabletop... At least my quests make sense!

Well played, indeed! Many kudos and bonus points...

"a toy, not an entertainment focused product" Can anyone find me a three letter word for "entertainment focused product"?

Actually, the middle-finger thing feels a lot better than the online petition...

I'm not a developer, and yes, this is an overheard rumor... But what's the Internet for, if not repeating rumors? ;) I used to work out with a playtest manager for a large gaming company. Way back when the original Xbox first came out, he told me that the developers were instructed to leave...
