The thing is that "RPG" is such a broad genre. Extra Credits actually did a pretty good series of episodes on wRPG vs JRPG and how the fact that we distinguish between the two kinds of RPGs is a sort of acknowledgement that there are differences in the RPG genre - in my opinion, there are...

I had a quick flick through and don't think anyone mentioned Deus Ex HR. Aside from Icarus, the entire soundtrack of the game is outstanding- on their own some are really weak but, for me, the real triumph of the DXHR soundtrack is atmosphere. It really helps build on the atmosphere of the...

There's a difference between sending a text message to a group of friends and broadcasting that same message to many more people, especially where "public conduct" is concerned. At home joking with friends? There's no crime there. If you send a text message that others send on? That's out of...

That's the thing, though, the people might have been there to cause harm to Woods, but neither destruction of property nor harm (or even threats) to Woods occurred. Even if the fifty had INTENT to cause harm or destruction, there'd need to be witnesses stepping forward to say as much. Either...

Again, it depends on information we don't have. If the guy has 300 people that are able to see everything he posts, that's not speaking quietly with friends, that's actually a very open and public communication which is where this grey area comes in. The BBC article doesn't give us the...

I'm not a law expert, so please don't take my musings as that, this is me joining the dots of what I DO know and applying a bit of common sense (No offense intended to anyone). If someone calls you a **** in the street, however, they could be accused of disorderly conduct or something...

I wouldn't be surprised if the 50 were charged, but received a lesser punishment- likely a warning or a fine. From what I can tell, they didn't do any property damage and all they did was show up, then the mitigation would be the public nature of the statement. The big struggle that the UK...

There is protection for Freedom of Speech, but it's not as big a deal in the UK as it is in the States. The UK stance on Freedom of Speech is "Say what you like, but expect to receive a kicking for anything out of line" And by out of line I don't mean a disagreement on a point. Freedom of speech...

Simple solution: Release games on DD at a discount of RRP. Instead of trying to charge $60 for the new game, charge $40 on Digital distribution, $60 in retail. Bam. If people want to be able to trade in their games, they can pay extra. Those who want to play the game to its fullest and for time...

My take is a pretty simple one: I don't think Sephiroth himself is a great villain, but the atmosphere he (And his actions) creates are what make a great villain. Remember in Nibelheim how he was reading through all of the books of the Shinra mansion as if possessed? That was in the...

I came across this shortly after reading this article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/nov/07/modern-warfare-3-early-copies-in-shops?newsfeed=true Well.. I guess crossing the channel doesn't take that long.

Definitely Squall's gunblade- Squall's was the revolver, Seifer's the more modern pistol.
