Corporate is not above the law. Any officer offered the excuse “management told me to” would laugh and then close it anyway.

The sad truth is that the employees would be the ones arrested for defying city ordinances, while corporate would go unpunished.

Reggie made a big stananch.

The murderous chair created by the military.  Originally it was designed to always provide a place to sit, but it became all consumed to the point it will chase down and force someone to sit in it.  It’s a classified X-Files monster now.

I don’t know what you mean by that.

I didn’t claim that they did?  I’m just saying it would be nice if they did that so other people can play even if it’s a less optimal experience.  I don’t see why you’re so upset at the suggestion, it’s not like I’m blaming you.

Goblins will give you environmental disaster instead.  The next big disaster is going to be that “toxic love” guy from Ferngully accidentally released by the goblins.

Bingo! Jaina was the biggest disappointment. She turned into her father, which could have been an interesting journey except she did all that changing in a terribly written book and the player base is just expected to accept it.

Any game that can be rendered in 3D can be rendered in 2D, and head movement can be mapped to a mouse, so I must assume this is a touchy feely game using like- whatever the modern equivalent of power gloves are?

If the game gives me mouse controls I’ll just play it in good old fashioned 2D anyway.  If it’s a good game, it’ll still be fun that way.

The world.... is wrong....

So they punish the employees that object to Walmart selling actual weapons, but insist on taking down images of fake violence.

This issue is far more complicated than this article would have you believe, and the real problems with Epic aren’t that it’s yet another store (competition is good, and on it’s face paying developers more for sales is positive), but rather how they’re going about it.

That said, while it is entirely justified to point…

Oh now do pirate games! Like Donkey Kong Country 2! Or, Skies of Arcadia!
(By the way, Skies of arcadia has a tagline that honestly could have been phrased better. “Where there is treasure there will be sky pirates” should have just been “Where there is treasure there will be pirates”.  The second one is probably…

Is there a big problem with people getting their faces ripped off and their brains eaten here in the real world?  Something that would require such a movement?  No?  Then it’s not the same.

In answer to your first question, very very recently. I am far more familiar with what it takes to make an individual teacher’s curriculum than you seem to believe.

In answer to the second, you’re saying “professionals” shouldn’t be in unions, and I’m here to say that yes, they absolutely should. Why shouldn’t game…

You don’t know what you’re talking about when it comes to teachers. They are in fact allowed a lot of autonomy in what teaching methods they use, and what they teach above and beyond the curriculum. Substitutes are given notes on how to guide students in the teacher’s selected curriculum. They ARE professionals, and…

Teachers don’t do the same thing, and they do in fact have control over what they teach and how they teach it. Curriculum is just a minimum standard. And no matter what artificial categories you impose, they are professionals. Many software developers are in fact signing identical contracts. This honestly sounds like…

That describes teachers to a T, yet they unionize all over the nation, and SHOULD because they need collective bargaining power.

Wait what do you mean by professional?  I think I’m misunderstanding what you mean here, because aren’t teachers professionals?

Viva Pinata was a good couple of games. The only misfire was how badly they banked on a multimedia empire centered around talking pinatas. That opening song from the cartoon in the first game was painful, and was completely different from the actual game. (Namely, if the animals I’m raising walk & talk like in the…

Oh goody, a Brother printer.  How many landfills have these fragile beasts filled at this point?
