Not that anyone reads my replies on here, but I’m one of those right in the middle of all this Epic stuff.

BTFzor_Freestyle already said it, but SWAT 3 was one of my favorite shooters. Any hits on a bad guy with a lethal weapon were negative points, but nonlethal takedowns with a lethal weapon were at least less negative points. Really made the game feel like a tactical simulation where you’re not just killing everything…

Your articles have been an excellent source of news and entertainment for years, thanks so much for all your writing. Well miss you greatly, Kirk!

I was really on the fence about finally starting the series, since I know I’m going to want to play through all of them (kind of) back to back. The remastered version already had me teetering, but this article has made me jump right over.

I absolutely LIVED in Guild Wars 1. I beat the game on one character and then made a Dervish and did the most difficult runs in the game for free. People would be charging 5-15 plat for a run across something like the Crystal Desert, and I would advertise over these other guys that I’m doing it for free, and always…

The first four words of this headline are enough to convince me to buy the game. Something by Machinarium’s creators? SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

Might be worth mentioning that that response by the EA Reddit account is now one of the most downvoted comments of all time.

I read every column of Dr. Nerdlove and have never thought to post a comment, but I just had to say something. That second person must work in writing, because she’s excellent. I would read a whole novel about a shitty idea if it was written with such elegant verbiage.

Damn. This is great content.

This is a great article, but I’d like to point out it would be very conducive to people like me who didn’t pay attention to any Destiny 1 stuff to describe what exactly an “engram” is.

And how much of the inventory in that flooded supermarket was still going to be sold? Assuming the business owner was smart enough to evacuate, I’m pretty sure that store’s inventory is soggy and ruined for commercial sale, especially as the legal definition for a “new” product. I’ll bet you’re one of the people that…

Are you a troll or just an idiot? These are straight screenshots from both games. Did you play the original Half-Life, or did you just cheat through Half-Life: Source to feel informed?

Yes, yes, and yes. I’m an admin for a Counter-Strike community called Casual Mature Gamers where we try to create one of the only non-toxic atmospheres in FPS gaming (imho). We have a much, much larger percentage of females that play on our server, and new players often wonder out loud why that is, usually accompanied…

Just to throw this in here, I got stuck with the witches and the machine killing them, I had choked out every witch in the building and put them in one room. Four of them died every time I hit the button, but sleep darts, moving them, holding them while I pulled it, nothing worked. I eventually had to go back to a…

I remember when it only took me 40 minutes to get to work, now I take the subway and it takes a full hour. God damn political correctness...

Where does one even begin taking apart this comment? The author didn’t pronounce anything or bring up a difference in gametypes, and nobody who actually knows CS would ever be caught dead saying “de_dust2" out loud.

Heh, I think I can jump on this Train.

I always thought it sounded like a multi-million dollar company that coded in VB.NET...

No. No you can’t.
