    Good Samaritan Being Sued

    Disgusting.

    Favorite game as a Child?

    The Mario games were a fine example. Another one was Wing Commander: Privateer.

    Am I a gamer anymore?

    No, you're STILL a gamer. Not buying one or two titles that everyone else is does not make you any less of a gamer. Heck, I'm not exactly desperately seeking GTA IV either, I've got too much more on my list. When you get the feeling you don't want to touch ANY games of ANY kind, then you...

    The best plot twists in a game(spoilers)

    BioShock. You're initially spoon-fed that you're tabula rasa, when in fact, you're something much more. KOTOR for the same reason as the above.

    Naming Your Character

    In single-player games I usually leave it as the default. If there is no default name, I'll use my real name or name them after a bird of prey. Online games, I always use an established handle.

    Han and Greedo : Am I missing something?

    You're absolutely correct, he doesn't NEED money. But that doesn't mean he needs to lose the bulk of it on pure fanservice. And if he wants to remake his films into a version HE likes, considering HE made them, let him. It just seems like his fans really don't care about him at all, I don't...

    Han and Greedo : Am I missing something?

    Again, you bring up money. Yes, Lucas does work for money... But that's because working PURELY for the fan or for the purpose of being good not only can not pay off in the end, but cost you drastically. Look at the game industry- Tim Schafer doesn't make games for money, he makes them for his...

    139: X-Com: The Truth Is Out There

    I loved all 3 of the Strategy games. Apocalypse was actually my first, so that may explain why I love it about the same as Enemy Unknown/UFO Defense and Terror from the Deep. I even somewhat liked Interceptor, maybe it was because I was so good at space sim games at the time or maybe I just...

    Han and Greedo : Am I missing something?

    I'll admit I find debating with you somewhat more palatable than with the average fanboy as you at least admit George didn't kill your damned dog like all the others. Ya know, people actually WANTED those prequels? Yeah, keep bothering Georgie for more movies, then scream bloody murder when...

    Han and Greedo : Am I missing something?

    I didn't quote Penny Arcade, I don't take news from a bloody WEBCOMIC, I quoted from AICN. This is like asking a butcher for watch repair. I quoted it because it outright says there's NO confirmation ANYTHING has been destroyed like he claims, and in fact, states that many portions of the...

    Han and Greedo : Am I missing something?

    I did nothing of the kind. I stated that it was ONE STRIKE against them because I don't take ANY slanted articles as gospel. It could have been written by an Anti-SW person or some other type and I wouldn't take it as gospel. And I emphasized the parts in quotes that I feel carry MY point...

    Games that have been ruined by their Fans

    That's how I feel. The so-called "Elitists" are willing to take everything but bet nothing. When I play Pirates of the Burning Sea, I love how Pirate Players will RUN AWAY the moment ANYONE attacks them first, even if they stand a good chance of winning the fight in the end.

    Han and Greedo : Am I missing something?

    The angle from which these are written cannot be anymore obvious. They were written by fanboys, that's one mark against them already. "EVEN IF it's true that Lucas and his staff destroyed all of the original negatives, it's UNLIKELY IN THE EXTREME that they also destroyed all of the...

    Jack Thompson Joins EA Acquisition Effort

    There's context to consider though. Thompson believes games are this evil weapon from Satan designed to destroy mankind. He thinks gamemakers and players are evil. Yet he throws them his wallet? This is like someone condemning Terrorism then joining a terrorist group in the hopes of...
