I must say this makes less sense now than at previous times, the number of French players in EVE has dropped pretty heavily since TCF shutdown I thought.

Free to play games with large audiences like TF2 and Osu! and the like. All those games their parents haven't paid for but have vast communities they can convince themselves they are a part of.

Wait, so they've added a way to pay for you to skip the game? thats quite novel. Paying to get rid of most of the game is certainly a new spin on DLC that adds more game.

I cannot see this selling very well, then again I dont think it was intended to, what with it being designed for the rift, which I cannot see doing particularly well long-term. Besides which CCP has already made a great pc space game, EVE Online itself.

This is awful news. Forget the pinball and all the amusement coming from that. 'Any game of skill or chance' that basicly means you are allowing people to play games of 'chance', i.e. gambling whilst potentially inebriated. Ever heard of Fixed Odds Betting Terminals? we have them in betting...

Oh dear, I know a slightly unstable person who was getting super hyped about this.

I still use IE, I cannot really ever see myself usng any other browser

The point is also that they are compelled to do so by their university / course, they literally cannot opt out of being exploited for their time, at least our frequently exploitative internships in the West aren't compulsory labour on unskilled manufacturing work.

One of the main reasons I preferred NV to 3 was because of the NCR, hell I would play a Fallout game where you were the NCR slowly helping them to bring back the light. 3 was far more horrifyingly dark with the feeling that a lot of stuff needed to be made better before it was faintly ok. So...

I must confess that I missed the day when we announced the Escapist was a political website rather than, you know, a balanced website that focused on what its good at and not being unsubtle in its political views at all times. Also anybody notice we lost a poster with thousands of posts to a...

I have a sneaking suspicion that letting normal people write copyright laws will be a disaster for everybody involved in actually making entertainment products unless written by calmer heads/ understanding individuals.

Now its kind of funny, but I always think of the 90's as 'The Safe Decade', a time when not too much was going wrong, when peace, prosperity and technology was pointing to the future. In fact I still have one of those childrens total world history books from when I was younger (child of 90's as...

Except they really arent that out of touch with wider society - non obviously city liberal opinion. That ^^ It was massive in the 1960's-1970's

I'd point out this thread carries some wonderful examples of why OP doesnt see the stupid people, they very rarely exist. You just disagree with them and feel your evidence is better (even when it probably is not, CODBLOPS2 has just come out, some people like it are they stupid? no, its a fun...

Doer/Organiser, not terribly wrong actually. But, well Monkey's and typewriters.
