Yeah, we will never forgive Australia for the 1999 World Cups. Sjwakke, bru.

An excellent comment/post/entry, sir! I would like to add to it. I think the confusion is as a result of science and philosophy being linked from the very beginnings of the two fields. One might even consider science the philosophy of the rational observation of the phenomena of the universe...

Uh... How did you infer this? Where do I "admit that pursuing another love interest would be cheating?" If you're referring to the "expected to react" part of what I said then read that sentence again in context. Failing that, allow me to place it in context: I was speculatively referring to...

I wish I could vote-up, upvote, or +like your comment. The truth of it makes me laugh.

I wholeheartedly agree. I finished the game and decided I didn't want to sink the time to replay and go through all the various romance options (though I will replay the finale and choose to destroy the Collector base rather than leave it intact). Seeing the depth of Thane's 'finale' really made...

Heh, fair enough, but consider that the whole point of the relationships in Mass Effect is to add another "real" dimension to the storytelling. That is, what one would constitute as cheating in real life may be superimposed on the game world. The game world needs to reflect how we would perceive...

^ This. Clearly not (see above). It's not just Liara's point of view that's important, Shepard's perspective should also be taken into account (as already discussed). That said, it would be acceptable for Liara to make Shepard (and in my case Tali -- since they all have history together)...

I think we're approaching this discussion from two different perspectives. I'm actually talking about the fairness of Liara 'making you regret your decision' in terms of plot, story, character, not in terms of game dynamic. Now that we're on the topic of game dynamic, however, should being...

Just so we're clear, this thread is liable to be one gigantic spoiler, including my opening post. I also looked for a similar thread that might have been posted after the game's release, but couldn't find anything. I have a few problems with the promises being made by the Mass Effect team...

Well, with respect to MW2 this is all moot because Infinity Ward has ruled that this part of the PC FPS gaming experience isn't important.

For once I actually feel obligated to call Yahtzee out as being full of it. As others have already said, it's mostly funny, but his whining about the controls and the dog selling stuff for you in town tell me two things: Yahtzee is a console gamer that can't be trusted with anything but...

And here I thought I was virtually alone on the Internet with this opinion. Every time I dare raise my voice on the issue somewhere I get drowned out by the fanboys and activation-apologists. I've found maybe one person on Reddit that feels the same way I do on the topic. Regarding the...

Actually World of Goo and Braid are available on Greenhouse and Impulse as well. I can vouch for the fact that Braid is completely DRM free on Impulse (YES!). I bought a boxed copy of Psychonauts, so it's not Steam-only, though the retail version does have some sort of CD check. But...

You are 41.7% Good. You are 23.1% Lawful. Alignment: Neutral Good Pretty much on the mark, I reckon. Some of the scenarios aren't adequately defined, though. Circumstance is everything. Also, some questions are missing pretty obvious options. Case in point, Question 15: "You swore to...

Picked up on the following on the frontpage of ReclaimYourGame [http://reclaimyourgame.com]. RYG/Sony DADC interview Reclaim Your Game would like to announce that we will be interviewing a representative of Sony DADC, the creators of SecuROM. We promise Sony DADC that this interview will be...
