    LMAO

    Unfortunately.

    Sadly, you're probably right about that, but given that Amazon's gotten away with tax free operations for this long, they need to give something back for all the back breaking labor they've allowed for the sake of profit.

    The NCAA is guilty of hypocrisy and misusing student athletes for the sake of greed. That's pretty undeniable. Saying the NCAA set up a system that's the equivalent of slavery, on the other hand, is as extremely misguided as hell a statement that you could ever make. It's insulting to people overseas who are going

    Right. Instead of criticizing the mega corp, who cuts corners and gets billions of profits off the backs of underpaid, overworked employees that they can afford to pay and treat decently, let's blame it on the workers who have little choice but work in that environment.

    I don't think Rodolfo's implying that young parents are automatically bad. He's just stating that raising children in your early 20s and especially teens is much tougher than in your 30s, 40s, and 50s, because you're often financially strapped for cash during those times.

    No it's not.

    You think that's scary? How about working there? Amazon forces its warehouse workers to fulfill insane quotas few humans are rarely able to achieve, work long hours without giving its employees no sick leave or vacation time, and barely any time for breaks to eat, drink, or simply pee. On top of that, the warehouses

    That line was meant for analysts and gamers alike, not the competing publishers and developers. My point was let things play out in its natural course before anyone jumps to conclusions. For example, as you said, many of us were guilty of selling the original Xbox short when news of that first came out in 2000, and

    I...don't think you quite understand the extent of Sony's horrendous revenue problems.

    With the 3DS stats, you overlooked one significant detail. Nintendo had to do a major price drop within months of the 3DS launch to make the handheld more appealing, and had to send early adopters extra stuff to not feel too screwed for buying the device too early. Nintendo outright admitted they made some bad

    Originally, I wasn't going to bring up Shoe's history with EGM with that article, but your first paragraph took the words right out of my mouth. I'm still slightly bitter with the state of disrepair Shoe left EGM after John Davidson left as EIC, so his opinions have definitely soured with me.

    There should be more consistent standards with rating games, I agree with you there. It boggles the mind that Halo games keep getting M-ratings, despite how mild they are compared to other FPS games, yet Batman: Arkham City gets a T rating, despite having some sociopathic villains describe past murders is a very

    Just for clarification, Best Buy didn't open at 8 PM. Only Target and Wal-Mart did that, which is why their workers protested. I do find the 8 PM openings to be really hasty. Giving workers an extra four hours to recuperate before a long returning day isn't much to ask for, given how much these companies treat their

    I'm not sure about Halo 4, since I haven't started campaign yet, but given that the game's going more into the Forerunners' history (i.e., the guys who made the Halos), I wouldn't be surprised. Halo Reach, whether the game or "The Fall of Reach" book, took place before any of the Halos were discovered as well. It's

    Exactly what I was going to say, and I'm almost certain what section you're talking about. Delta Halo, with all the open caves and ledges surrounded by waterfalls, correct? Oh man, it took me TWO HOURS to get past that section alone. Several other portions were so brutal, I died 30+ times in endless death loops.

    Hey, don't compare Chuck E Cheese to Zynga. :P Back in the 90s, their arcade games were cheap to play and surprisingly decent, while remaining family friendly. Hell, they still do that now, though they somehow managed to sneak an Aliens game in the mix (yes, THAT Aliens), and the food tastes better now.

    The maps thing really varies between players, so don't take my word as absolute gospel. Some players didn't like the MW2 maps that much, but thought the ones from Black Ops 1 were balanced. Others were okay with MW3's selection, but thought Blops1's wasn't that good. Overall, from what I understand, most CoD fans

    I'm not sure about the MW2 disdain, unless it's from PC gamers with the dedicated servers issue, because I enjoyed the game a lot during the first several months. MW2 didn't have the staying power CoD4 had, but the campaign mode was pretty good, spec ops was fun, and online play was addictive. Unfortunately,

    Really? I loved most of the MW2 maps. They were pretty diverse, fairly balanced, and allowed a decent amount of strategy. The only ones I found lackluster were the map pack ones (which single handedly killed my interest in purchasing anymore of them).
