    Diablo III Has Single Player Online

    Town portals have been supplanted by the Stone of Recall, an infinitely reusable item that takes up no inventory space and provides essentially the same functionality. That said, as I understand it Stone of Recall has a cast time and is interrupted when you take damage, so it doesn't work in...

    E3: Kinect Voice-Powers Mass Effect 3 and Ghost Recon

    And 3d has been around for decades, but Avatar still looked banging (even if all the other digitized 3d movies don't). The idea is a good one at its core, but technology and implementation need to improve to make it viable, that's what I'm hoping will happen in ME3. or at least some time soon...

    E3: Kinect Voice-Powers Mass Effect 3 and Ghost Recon

    Tolkien, Overrated?

    Scandinavian mythology? Specifically that saga that I forget the name of (One of the ACTUAL sagas of old, not the bullshit modern tendency to stick the word "saga" onto your work to make it seem impressive). On topic: Seems to me that you either love or hate Mr. Tolkien's works. Personally, I...

    Poll: Why I don't like Elves

    You mean those two lines about a messenger saying he got killed? yeah, that was exhilarating. The book itself was incredible, though. I wouldn't respect that teacher all that much, The Silmarillion is a must-read-classic for a reason. It's worth mentioning that in a lot of fantasy...
