But wresting the power away from government, will not remove that powers existence hence not remove corruption. Those with sufficient wealth will arguably maintain and even gain more power, and as you have said power is inextricably connected to corruption. The free market has not demonstrated that it can manage power…

Essentially your not discussing the role of government/Lack of government as you are discussing corruption, in various forms. Both methodologies can and are relevant any suggestion otherwise from either side is foolish. The divide in debate generally comes down to ‘Who do you trust less?’ neither elected officials nor…

Good for them, but I will still never forgive them and never give them a dime, after they shuttered my beloved City of Heroes.

I’d been waiting for Luke’s review all week. I am relieved beyond measure. Personally I was less attached to the historical settings, but I just enjoyed the large scale tactics and RTS battles combined. I had your same reservations and fears. Now they are put to rest for the most part I guess it’s time to part ways…

It also has a lot to with setting your own emotional boundaries, the constantly toll of jealously is not easy to cope with I think it’s personally quite reasonable and responsible to call a relationship ‘bad for you’ if your not able to cope with that situation and end it. I am not in the habit of posting blame on…

Probably on the depth certainly, federal level economics and spending is a complex matter and I have seldom if ever looked at federal budgets of any kind and not been staggered by the waste. Though it becomes two fold, unless you are willing to spend money nothing will happen voters will resent a lack of activity and…

His name was Barack Obama, and his political opponents called his nationality, religion, credentials and allegiance into constant question and did everything in their power to eliminate governance of any kind during his period in office.

However I do see the binary as a problem. The term predominately occurs out of people trying to mitigate the pain of rejection. The reasons for the situations and how each person behaves in that situation are complex and neither on there own good nor bad. People often don’t want to give up a friendship and thus string…

I am impressed how accurate the lighting was managed. It’s a little astounding how close it is, now do the trailer with hearthstone!

No they don’t... well they might beg I suppose... but it would be futile.

City of Heroes flashbacks... the pain will never go away I swear.

Evan, you don’t have time for this. You should be writing a detailed analysis of Batman #50!

The problem is we are filling the gaps in a story with a narrative that does not exist, we don’t know what relationship he has with his children, we don’t know why he moved. We know this, he lost income and couldn’t meet the demands of child support, he had trouble working within the system to have the payments…

I as under the impression that Genesis, was now an alien being and much of the theological discussion had been removed...

Ah but if could it would only be ‘City of Heroes’ that would matter for me in the context of this conversation. I still miss it so bad it makes my heart ache.

It was a memorable and enjoyable game.

What bothers me is the arbitrary enforcement of an obvious set of moral rules. Killing people is awful but we accept it unless they are children in which case they are protected by some mystical barrier. I’ve never once wanted kill a child still the developer saying ‘This is just too wrong to allow’ trivializes the…

And for about that much time, I have relied almost exclusively on Kotaku’s coverage of the medium, though in reality this has more to do with the excellent editorial shift to post release content and commentary. I do find it is offensive however that these publishers are happy to continue act like belligerent children…

A very good review, that hit’s most nails on the head I think. The dialogue adjustment is the worse mechanical change. I was perfectly happy with it’s use in some games that played to the cinematic delivery that it works best with this system, in the case of Fallout 4 the fact we only at best have a charisma check and…

This really is some of the most free-form character progression systems we’ve had as RPG gamers in a while. The Diablo-esque class/role type progression has dominated for a too long, I am excited to put together some unorthodox characters. Please let this game be great.
