I bought a Wii. I played Zelda Twilight Princess on it. I don't thing I used it much after that. The family played those stupid motion control demo games for about a month until the "new" wore off of it. Now it's stuffed under a bed in one of the rooms. I probably couldn't find it if I wanted to.

Paypal may not be the right way to pay for digital goods and services. That protection they used to brag about only covers physical goods. I've gotten screwed on web purchases twice over the years... not a lot of money but enough to piss me off. Both times they told me something along the lines of "It sucks to be…

Hey Christian Svensson, trying to look neutral while remaining a paying member of the ESA is dishonest. The ESA doesn't support legislation that it's membership doesn't like. Your customers are not stupid. Your childish attack on journalists is disingenuous at best. Please don't think you have fooled anyone.

I like to dink around in my game a lot. My play style isn't conducive with multiplayer. If I ever stumble upon a secret token or chest or something... it's all over. It takes me forever to finish each level because now I'm fishing through every nook and cranny to make sure I didn't miss one.

Love me some Unreal Tournament. The original Unreal game is one of my all time favorite PC games.

In order to get elected to congress, you need lots of money for advertising, ground campaigns, smear ads, etc. A lot of the available money comes from the entertainment industry... game publishers, Hollywood, and the music industry. It's not that they don't understand the issues because they do. They understand…

Anyone else feel like N-Control are a bunch of weenies for offering a $10 discount to new pre-orders while shafting all the customers already in the pre-order queue? That smells a little wormy to me. Y

He looks like a sociopath from where I sit. He has absolutely no ability to empathize with others. He got called out and dropped in the grease for being a disrespectful asshole. His analysis of the situation was that he should have backed down after the "little punk" got Mike involved. He is incapable of seeing…

I bought my son a SWTOR pre-order for Christmas but that was the only game this year. He already had Skyrim and BF3. I was tempted to buy the latest CoD for him but I figured he would never play it due to SWToR. I then bought myself one so we could play together. He doesn't like to play with his old man very often…

The bright side of the story is that Paul won't have to worry about that damned traffic noise surrounding that real estate that we wouldn't know anything about because we are all poorer than he. Every cloud has a silver lining if you look for it.

You cannot dig up enough dirt to give this asshole the treatment he deserves. Replying to an email and signing another professional's name to it is about as far over the line as you can get. I'm going to guess that intentionally misrepresenting a competitor breaks laws. It's a shame Brandon doesn't file charges on…

I don't know what's got you riled up there, John. I never stated this to be a fact. It is clearly my opinion. I quoted a doctor who runs a video game addiction clinic to support my opinion.

Everything I've read indicates that video games cannot be, by definition, an addiction. The typical person suspected of having a "gaming addiction" is simply someone with obsessive compulsive disorder. A lot of people with OCD will shift their obsession every few years. It will go from reading thousands of trashy…

I don't know your situation and I certainly don't presume to tell you what to do. However, as a fellow who has been around the block a few times and has two teenagers, this is what I would tell my college age daughter if she was having a rough holiday season.

That is a really cool story and very well done! I got tee-boned by a car five years ago on a motorcyle. The driver crushed my knee and now I have something like thirty screws in my leg. I cannot fathom dealing with the kind of pain the author manages. I spent many months in the hospital and years recovering and I…

Do you have to have some kind of client on your computer with Gamersgate like you do with Origin and Steam?

Hey Cain, identify this!

That is the corniest SciFi movie I have ever seen and yet I watch it every time I find it on TV.

That is quite clever. Impressed gorilla is impressed.
