I find it interesting that you're not using each for what they're better for, as it were.

@Helis: "It's like someone took WoW and handed it to a professional artist."

The guy just had a bad experience so he decided to vent. While I can't comment on the speed, I never compared, I don't ever remember having an xbox update that wasn't forced on me. In fact they all force me to update the firmware before I can do anything.

So wait, let me get this straight. Based on a document from 2008(!) in which a bunch of people just brainstormed about everything and anything including "selling user data", and which has in fact resulted in none of that happenning 2 years later, you come up with the title "google... warming up to selling user data"?

@Chewblaha: I know, you'd think he'd put up Felicia's pic, but noooo, we gotta stare at wayne newton's mug

The update from Mike has quelled some of my worries but the main beef remains - every new piece of info about DA2 shows that they are moving away from PC. Even the stuff that still stays as it were, feels like they're doing us a favor - "well we really don't see any reason to leave the freeform camera but you guys are…

@The_Invisible_Gamer: I know! WTF does that mean?

@Ajh: It's unclear whether they'll actually update them. Mike said they "looking into it". It's entirely likely (and the cynic in me says exactly what would happen) that post game launch they'll come out with something along the lines of "we really wanted to release an update for the tools but we're starting up this…

There's nothing to "know" about the antenna bug. Unless Apple is filled with 2 year olds, everybody there knew exactly why the antenna should not be put on the outside of the phone. This wouldn't even be a discussion if it wasn't Apple, people would just call it what it is - bad design decision. What I wanna know if…

This game is looking very nice, just wish it was out on PC.

@Legendary Armor: It's not a double standard. It's called the difference between men and women. Yeah we're all equal in many ways, but if you don't recognize that we're different in just as many ways you're just being blind.

That Miraluka in the screenshot looks like he's fumbling around, trying to get his bearings. Maybe somebody turned off the force lights?

_Not_ StarCraft 2

Okay, listen up guys. All Civ players need to gather up and then start running towards the East. Our combined mass together with the force we exert as we run, will hopefully, in time, slowdown rotation of the earth and give us more hours in a day to enjoy the game. Because without at least an extra 6 hours a day I…

Tim Horton's coffee for the win! I actually had a DD coffee once, wasn't impressed, though it wasn't bad. Timmy's though is the best, by a landslide, eh!

So I was reading this and kept expecting it to get to the point, then I glanced at the scrollbar...

@Skipjack451: "Even women who "freely" choose to engage in submissive sexual encounters or who gain sexual pleasure from being sexually dominated do so because they have so deeply internalised the exploitative sex role that they have been trained for since birth by patriarchal society. "

This, this and this again! I could not possibly agree more. It's like this guy read my mind. I like DA:O and ME but they both lack many of the things that I love about RPGs - big party, rich combat, proper inventory (for ME), and definitely deep skill trees. ME2 skill tree can't really be called a tree, more like a…

Every year somebody's yelling PC gaming is dead, it's been going on since 2000.

A demo *before* the game's release? What a novel concept! It means I'll be able to try the game before it's released - it's just crazy enough that it might work!
