I'm all for it. From experience, the people who have that symbol tends to be some douche growing his first mustache, giggling into the microphone about his readings on Wikipedia that it's the Buddhist symbol. FYI, prepubescent fuck on XBL: The Buddhist symbol wasn't in the center of a white...

I may be optimistic here, but if Microsoft can get their shit together and make this a worthy adversary to Steam, it could be damn good for digital distribution. After all, competition breeds excellence/success/innovation/what-have-you. Steam sales are incredible now, but think about how...

Hey! An '86 MR2! I drive an '86 MR2! Hey! Laguna Seca Raceway! I LIVE near Laguna Seca Raceway! ... Yeah, I'd end up totaling my car on the first turn, but I can dream, can't I?

I'm pretty introverted in nature; I'm most comfortable communicating through technological means (texting, Facebook IM, game server chat, and the like). As such, my best friendships have been developed through the likes of World of Warcraft, Diablo 2, CS:S, CoD, Halo, Gmod, and LAN parties...

Correction! The song is called "Gimme Shelter" by The Rolling Stones. (Also, quotes rather than italicizing, since it's written as a rule somewhere, or something) OT: All the shooters I own have gotten stale, so I need something new to play around with until the next big thing or I start...

I'd say Fallout: New Vegas, if she's patient enough to sit through bugs every now and again. There is a story line, and it's got kind of a sandbox/linear path hybrid for the first few hours. Once you hit New Vegas itself, the sandbox opens up and you're left with a metric fuck-ton of side...

I wouldn't say that, seeing as -insert console game- is a single, physical copy. So sure, you could lend it out, but there's really no (legal) way to make multiple copies so everybody gets one. @OP: I wouldn't worry too much. If they're distributing the games DRM free, it's likely they're...

I just bought Evil Genius. GoG seems like a good service, only problem is I'm downloading at a dismal ~54KB/s. Yikes. I tried downloading a game on Steam, which gave me ~850 KB/s, so I know it's not my connection. Anyone else having this problem? Perhaps their servers are going crazy what...

Take note: the map pack for Call of Duty 4 was sponsored by Nvidia (for the PC), whereas the Stimulus and Resurgence map pack cost $15 apiece through Steam. By the looks of things, someone at Activision saw that sponsorships rake in far less profits than selling the extra content directly.

Just Cause 2: Mindless grappling hook funnery. Team Fortress 2: War themed hat simulator. Unreal Tournament 3: Waste of eight dollars.
