Had a similar problem with that old search engine Alta Vista. I accidentally typed in Alta Vesta, or something, and got into a lot of trouble. I told my study hall teacher that my computer teacher told me about the website (which was kinda true, he told me about Alta VIsta) and he almost got in trouble. You would of…

I'm still waiting for the day that Microsoft updates it's XBL EULA to force anyone who agrees to it to give up all of their rights as citizens of what ever country they live in where by the end users, themselves and all of their assets become property of Microsoft do do so with as they please. No one will fucking read…

Oh you should of put this quote in there too.

I'm glad you agree that Vanquish wasn't copying anyone. Sadly, you're opinion, and mine, were not the dominant opinion when the game had first come out.

Congratulations! You just won the internet!

I never said anything to the contrary. The problem is when that Company A makes a game that borrows from a bunch of other games and it's a rip off and people scorn it while Company B borrows from a bunch of games and people adore it because they know what they are getting into. The problem is that this is not spun…

Not really. The bitch about it is that people are dumb enough to allow it to work and actually feed into it rather than forming their own opinions. I would love to see a company like EA fight a never ending, losing PR campaign to demonize one game genre or another simply because gamers- no, because people were smart…

Wait, isn't there some company that makes ENTIRE games that are ripped off of entire other games?

If anything the "pattern" is that ME was a beta for XP and Vista was a beta for 7 and we've all been shammed into buying 2 operating systems in rapid succession of each other. Will 8 be a beta for 9 and we're all being shammed into buying yet another OS that Microsoft knows is crap just to prove how gullible and sheep…

More or less

Well said. And to rebuttal they'll call you a valve fan boy, as if pointing it out will some how make what you said less valid.

There are the Y's games on STEAM. They are all very enjoyable games.

Do you ever garner scorn from other people in the industry for further propagating the notion that JRPGs are good games and deserve a chance to succeed in the west? It seems like we live in a time where the western game industry is hell bent on a one size fits all approach to gaming and seems to scoff at the idea that…

How do you react when people criticize JRPGs for being archaic or clinging to tropes, cliches and character archetypes? Do you think it's unfair that people refer to the genre's use of "spiky haired protagonists" as a design flaw rather than a design choice when many popular western games also revolve around one or…

Don't let this one fool you, I'm actually quite unreasonable.

Getting rid of cars because they are more dangerous? I'd argue the problem isn't cars but a combination of a myriad of different problems. That's the sad and terrible truth of life, nothing is as simple as "guns kill" or "cars kill".

Not everything needs to be cerebrally stimulating as such. At the same time it's often been stated that there's a sort of rule regarding mediocrity, where the more generic and less cerebral something is the more likely it will appeal to a larger audience (something to do with projection and the way the mind relates to…

And you're assuming the flag means nothing? Do people really just pick avatars at random like that? No, you pick an avatar like that for a reason, not because you were blind folded and threw a dart at a board.

Where did I say we shouldn't have guns? Where the fuck did I say it? Ok you want to go down this road, fine, why the hell not.

There's nothing wrong with defending yourself with a gun. I never made that point. I never said we shouldn't have guns and I don't think we shouldn't. But it's the mindset that the issue is so absolute that we can't even discuss the merits of or the impact of the laws that pisses me off. You'll have better luck…
