Uh, you didn't call it here, so: pics or it didn't happen. Also: it's not that THE PS3 is more immersive, it's that YOUR choice to set up your PS3 in home-theater mode is more immersive.

I doubt he thinks sugar is the devil - unless you mean HFCS, he buys Throwback. He's probably a late 20s white guy, long-time girlfriend who's not a gamer; unmarried, no kids. Good grades in high school, probably some moderate athletic abilities but not into team sports, loving parents. Graduated college and got a…

Try going to Google and typing this: "When you find yourself in a hole"

Really? So ... being able to shoplift detracts for the experience of legitimately owning an item you want or need? The fact that, somewhere, some guy is taking anabolic steroids makes you feel like crap for riding your bike around for an afternoon? Just knowing that there are prostitutes in the world reduces your…

Also: whoever on Kotaku's staff approved your editorial submission without first warning you "Kid, they're going to eat you alive," should probably be removed from the staff, or at least from the pool of people who approve these submissions. Was it short-sightedness or just sadism?

Also: Half-Life started as a Quake2 mod. Mods mean a young kid might learn to make games, or a poor single parent or teen working a part-time job to buy their own entertainment can extend that entertainment indefinitely. You want less of things like Half-Life and Portal and to punish poor gamers and god knows what…

Also: your willpower is bad and you should feel bad!

Well, you should report any of the nasty messages that push past nasty into "threat." That being said: welcome to the internet!

Uh, why blame D&D? Look at every form of magic or mysticism in real life - it's all about people trying to find rules in, or enforce rules upon, an unfathomable, uncaring cosmos. Alchemist, animists, hedge wizards, wiccans, astrologers, you name it, it was a crazy old man or woman working "magic" to unlock the…

Answer: YES. AND this one's been on hiatus for almost two weeks. Do you get a kickback from their ad revenue? Or do you just not pay attention?

The only question I have is this: when I click the link to the site, will it be on hiatus, like at least 50% of the comics io9 recommends?

@cosmonaut.zero - Still, it doesn't *stop* bots, but it does stop live human players.

You know, even given that you're purchasing a license to access a game and not the game itself, there's this thing in contract law where if one party suddenly refuses or limits access without the consent of the other party the contract becomes void. This is a bad choice on Blizzard's part for so many different…

@Stuart Cooper - No, it's more like walking into a restaurant, getting something you didn't want, then sending it back until you get what you want, then being kicked out of the restaurant without getting your money back.

Does the game warn you when you're on your 'last game' or does it just lock you out of your purchased product when you try to create the next one?

Aside from the procedural interruptions/delays that it would cause - at a non-trivial cost to the state ... he's a malignant narcissist. He's incapable of understanding that other people exist as anything but secondary characters to the story of his life.

He doesn't care about WoW's public image ... he cares about *his* image, and how he'll be remembered in history. He could not, for any amount of money, have bought this quantity and quality of advertising/marketing for his repulsive ideology, but now he has it, and he doesn't want it wasted on the moral crusades of…

Besides, it's obvious he was patterning himself after the ORIGINAL Gay Terrorist Mage Anders, from Dragon Age 2.

Oh, hey, look: yet ANOTHER "io9 links to a webcomic on hiatus" post.
