meh. just a bunch of pointless name dropping. i also disagree that Minecraft fulfills the promises of games (i havent played Day Z so i cant comment).

i hate to break it to you but the other poster is right. if you refer say a word, for instance people, that is plural by nature, then by the rules of english the word would refer to some people. SOME being implied. it does not refer to ALL people (or whatever the word might be). in some case, SOME can end up meaning…

many games just scale the male and female hit boxes (in addition to the character models) so they are the same size. if everyone is wearing armor, they should be about the same size anyway. plus with these sort of games being fast paced its easy to use a generic skeleton for both male and female models so you have…

games make up greatly larger sales than music albums. the average gamer is in their late 30's. females game just as much as men. phone and social network gaming exploded recently surprising everyone. most media companies now invest in videogames because they are big money. we have games selling as high as 10's of…

im glad someone else gets it. if gaming was more tolerant this wouldnt be necessary. however, theres an outspoken percentage of gamers inflicting their hatespeech and ignorance upon everyone in their wake. gaming is filled with intolerance. this con exists because we as gamers have failed to make all other gamers feel…

first off, gamers are far from a small minority. the popularity of gaming has skyrocketed over the past decade or so.

its controversial for a lot of reasons. it creates a disconnect in the military (why am i risking my life when this guy gets to hide behind a video games?!). some people see it as "too easy." this could lead to an abuse of UAV's or even not considering many valid options because the risk of the UAV is so low. some…

paying a subscription just so you can access the archaic P2P multiplayer is a mockery of online gaming. im ashamed that so many fellow human beings got suckered into paying for a multiplayer system that was both free and superior longer before the rise of Xbox Live.

she said, "zero, zero, zero, zero, zero,..."

actually its not that cut and dry. see, according to science race doesnt actually exist in humans. what we call race is culturally defined and inconstant. some places race is defined by your skin color, others your mannerisms, others what group you associate with, others its defined by your parents, and sometimes its…

thank you!!!! ive been saying this since the start of this retro fad. i love retro. i still play them but just think of what you could do if you used the modern hardware instead of just ignoring it. imagine Mega Man with insane amounts of enemies on screen, or Mario with in game climate that gradually changes the…

well i wasnt aware that you could accumulate ad time like that. still there are better ad supported systems out there. i wouldnt want to support an inferior one. they might get the wrong idea, like they might think i want more ads for less time. if ads on TV have been a lesson to anyone, its that you gotta do your…

the subject of race is a sensitive topic. its one thats still fresh in many of our minds too. its not one to be taken lightly. great care should be taken when broaching the subject. by making it an issue when its not one, you just fan the flames and make things worse. thats why you have to stop and think first.…

i dont mind ads on free games that much. however, 10-20 minutes of gameplay for more than a minutes worth of ads just isnt worth it IMO (and you know its more than a minute. it always is). thats a lot of breaks in a game, and not only that, other companies have used the same idea and given you a far greater value for…

i take minor offense. i wasnt up in arms. also, i rebutted the article. skin color is a non-issue when you arent in front of a screen. see, we have things like Affirmative Action to help combat workplace discrimination. is it a perfect system? no, but there are many, many tools in place to ensure that EVERYBODY is…

this is really common in voice acting. i mean REALLY common. i bet if you looked at the cast list of last few games/shows/movies/etc that you recently experienced, youd find white actors playing minorities.

yeah. thats what i thought. thats why i put the first half of mine as sarcasm.

imagine what a great world we would live in if Jonas Salk didnt share his vaccine for polio, a disease that was an epidemic not too long ago. imagine if he had placed a patent on his vaccine. imagine if he had charged money for it. sharing ruins everything. if only i could keep it all for me and everyone else would…

yeah most Steam games are a simple crack away from being DRM free. if Steam goes down, you could easily play most (if not all) your games. plus, i doubt Valve would leave all their games DRM locked if they were to go under. they have done a lot to earn the trust of gamers.

game companies have been trying to combat sharing between immediate friends and family for a long time. one of the oldest methods is artificially limiting the number of save slots to just one save per game. theres nothing worse than being a kid with a brother and your parents make your share your games. then you find…
