Most insightful comment of the whole thread. Thanks for your perspective. I downloaded my first adblocking software after having my computer crippled by malicious code from an online advertisement on a reputable site. If content creators had defended their space as you suggest, I never would...

People are trying to explain to you why they use adblock on this site, with the hopes that we can work together so that it's not necessary. After watching Jim's video, I put the Escapist back on my whitelist, but if the ads continue to be as hazardous and obtrusive as they once were, I may...

I don't feel the least bad for Comcast. In college, they cut off my house's internet access, wouldn't tell us why, but continued to bill us anyways, threatening to sue if we didn't pay the bill for service they acknowledged they were not providing. It wasn't until we got legal representation of...

Half the people commenting here need to read the original post. From the OP: "All these settings do is that they set some of the options on the option screen before you've played it and know what those options mean. Once you get in and start playing, you can change things," It just changes...

I can't believe no one has mentioned Fester's Quest for the NES yet.

The boss battles weren't bad in and of themselves. They were bad because they didn't flow with the rest of the game. The characters themselves weren't introduced in any meaningful way, and the player was bottlenecked into a toe to toe fight with them in an otherwise open game. So in my...

Doesn't like water? Give me a break. I certainly feel sorry for him, but he didn't steal out of some dire survival need. He can drink water like me and everyone else. It's actually pretty important to your basic health to drink straight water every day. As far as the punishment, it's pretty...

HAHA, people are taking this seriously. Obvious joke is obvious.

Funny how no one gave a shit when Casey was getting bullied, but everyone is in an uproar when he has the audacity to defend himself. That's the way it works though. If it's a kid bullying another kid, it's not a problem, and the authorities ignore it. But if the one bullied actually stands up...

I think this article sums it up quite nicely http://www.cracked.com/article_18571_5-reasons-its-still-not-cool-to-admit-youre-gamer.html

I think a lot of people here don't realize how hard it is to act in such a quick life or death situation. Single precise shots to the leg are easy to pull off in a videogame, sitting comfortably and safely. But in a situation where you are being violently attacked, it's very difficult to think...

It's not a myth, it's fact. PC gaming requires knowledge of computer hardware, time to custom build and maintain a gaming computer, installs, troubleshooting, and regular hardware upgrades. I was a PC gamer for several years, but I don't have the time anymore. PC gaming does have it's...

Recheck your math. Xbox 360 $300. After sales tax that's $312-$336. Maybe throw in an extra controller and an extra something, it's $400 at most, not $500-$600. Most people aren't buying every single peripheral that's going to drive it above $400. Basic pre-built laptop capable of high speed...

I assume you're talking only about shooters here, since those are the only games you're naming off. And yes, PC has always been ahead of consoles for shooters. Other genres not so much.

I'm now a proud member of the Liberty City Police Department. "I rifle through people's bags on the subway to protect freedom. I arrest protesters at political conventions for straying outside the free speech zone. Being a cop used to be about stopping crime. Now thanks to politicians, it's...
