KNEW IT!

Too bad no one will be playing the Xbox one at this point.

Pretty much every hard core gamer has had a nintendo alongside another console since the days of sega. That's not likely to change, ever. The battle between sony and microsoft isn't about the hardcore gamer. It's about the madden/fifa/nba guys. The stuff hardcore gamers don't usually buy.

OH SWEET JESUS BEAUTIFUL MOFFAT CUMBERBATCH

I'M SO FUCKING HAPPY YES I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY BUT I'M HAPPY WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY FACE!?

Bad moon rising? ;)

Yeah, what is it with in-game mini-games being better than the actual game itself? That could be its own article right there.

Guys don't be so quick to judge. I swear people on the internet are so cynical. I wonder what you guys are like in real life? Are you this way in real life? Isn't it taxing on your families?

Totally agree, hence the reason I wrote, "I need to change." The responsibility ultimately falls on me learning how to manage that impulse to chase achievements at the expense of enjoying a game, and fortunately I've started learning how to do that.

acknowledging that factor is a step in the right direction. Yet people without addictions can't seem to fathom why its so hard to just "stop being that way".

Simply walking away from something that you've worked…

When you see more social integration in games, it was for the Socialite who really enjoys playing with friends, which is the subset of people who become addicted to social…

The least helpfull suggestion anyone can make: "Just do it." or "Just don't do it."

The article clearly states she was "standing to the side." She made no attempts to stop the other guy, meaning she instigated and approved of the violence. Thus YOU are approving of the violence as well. She was complicit in the act, and by absolving her of any blame, YOU are also complicit in contributing to and…

Way to downplay the fact that he got assaulted at a girl's whim. She was creeped out and her feelings were hurt! He definitely deserves a possible concussion even though she was TOTALLY WRONG about it. People like you make me sick. You take a situation where a man was the victim and then turn it around to soapbox your…

Unfortunately, going from my experiences in China, girls like this one are the norm and not the exception.
