I'm a veterinarian. Infectious disease, cancer, and vaccinations are a huge part of what I studied and what I do.

Man, I hate that thing so much.

I know. I'm joking about how pretty much every article about a major release devolves into some bitch-fest about whichever sort of DRM is being used. There are plenty of complaints along those lines below.

$130??? Unless it actually makes the dip, I'll just put out two bowls.

I came to complain about something... is this where we complain about Games for Windows Live? Or is this something else? I saw Blizzard in the title, and I know we're supposed to complain about them.

You weren't kidding... how do you actually *buy* something on this site? They have a shopping basket, but no discernible way of adding anything to it.

Call bullsheite all you want. This is reality. Infection and inflammation cause cellular and genetic damage. They require cells to reproduce at an accelerated rate, resulting in an increased rate of chance mutations that might contribute to malignant transformation. Many viruses directly incorporate their DNA into…

It's because we've become so successful at preventing disease that people have become complacent. The absence of these diseases is normal to us, and the presence of them seems unthinkable. To most, these vaccines seem intended to prevent things that are essentially fictional. It has become easier to focus on the…

When it comes down to it, this is 2K's pot to stew in. They bothered creating a designated mode explicitly for the contest, but didn't have that mode set up to prevent things like this? How hard is it simply disable substitutions in the Perfect Game mode?

I have those, too. They've officially become my "crap I rarely need" cabinet. Spare glasses and whatnot that are basically one step from being thrown away.

But... will it bend?

Did you even read the article? He addresses this exact sentiment, noting that a game can have very intelligent gameplay mechanics but still be otherwise silly. He gives specific credit to Vanquish for being in that mold, and makes it very clear that he enjoyed the game, but would have enjoyed it more if those…

What a great article. I'd love to see more like this on Kotaku.

"It's an actual bonus, not content that has been stripped from the game and only made available to people who preorder."

Ah... the smell of next-gen consoles in the air. Time for another batch of absurdly unrealistic claims about graphical power.

They aren't changing the options. The plan is just to give you a better sense of the weight of the choices you've already made.

Those lines were in Enter Sandman, but they aren't from it. That prayer is older than the hills.

I won't wade into the greater debate... but as far as destruction of the Mass Relays destroying nearby worlds: It could easily be proposed that there is a difference between programmed destruction and forced destruction. If the Citadel is capable of broadcasting Shepard's choice, then it was obviously designed to…

But the point, which you're ignoring out of convenience, is that Capcom could leave the exact same content off the disc and offer it for download later. The situations are identical in what you pay for and receive. The only difference is the mechanism, which means the "feeling" has everything to do with it. In each…

You're just feeding back into the original technicality. The fact of it may not be subjective, but the consequences absolutely are.
