I tried all kinds of shit to stop the bullies when I was a kid. Ignoring, playing, being nice, fighting back. You know what worked? Telling. And no, they didn't like me. But they obviously already didn't like me, so I gave no fucks.

The French authorities have said that all the DNA tests will be destroyed afterwards (except the one of the eventual rapist of course) so there'll be no biometric data left after the investigation is closed. And no, I don't think they're lying but I do think a lot of people have read 1984 way too many times and are…

I'm in full support of getting a DNA sample of every person in the country (and to enter the country), putting it in a federal database, and using it to solve crimes. That's a kind of security measure I can get behind.

Remember, teenage brains are still developing, their hormones are out of wack, there is evidence to show that they have trouble putting things in perspective. Its a very scary time to go through something like depression, to not have the experience to know whats going on with anything, to feel peer pressure and adult…

Sometimes when you wanna get them in the red, you go a little too far.

So now we live in a world where it's OK to be an asshole because if your douchebaggery is a problem for someone, they're just being overly sensitive?

It basically just illustrates how stupid people are.

I mean really. Windows 8 is just Windows 7 with more features (and better boot times). That's it. 99% of my time is spent in regular desktop mode, except I can also play some of the games that are exclusive to the app store (like Spartan Assault and Project Spark).

Bullshit. Jersey should get corrupt, we practically invented corruption!

Seems like the only draw to this game is the opportunity to grief others. That being said, being humiliated, having your gear stolen, or risk getting killed is contrary to that goal. Just log out when this crap happens, find a different server where you can better your gear and set your own ambush so you can be on the…

Hold up! Someone doesn't own Portal?

My predictions:

Even game developers are getting sick of this. The problem is, put as simply as I can, that it works. People make the purchases, people do it. It's both a psychological trick as much as anything. People think because they invested some of their money into it, they'll definitely play it more. And then because of that,…

Even with strenuous activity you still don't really need Gatorade. Water will still hydrate you fine.

re: despotic and gratuitous
It helps a little if you stop thinking of DayZ as a 'game' per se and more as a simulation of what little restraint people will show in a dystopian future. The people having 'fun' in this video are forcing three victims to participate in a fatal blood sport (two involved, one forced to…

I don't find it funny. This is despotic and gratuitous. I guess I'm growing up and getting more sensible to violence.

thats just cruel. Seriously. Don't get the kid a PS4/Xbone if his grades suck, but don't get his hopes up like that either! Just explain to him if he can increase his grades he can get one at the end of the school year. No need to be a dick about it.

I think "Pay to play" would be a more accurate definition for most of these so-called "free to play"-games than "pay to win", since the most popular model seems to be paying to be able to advance in the game as opposed to waiting an unreasonable length of time for activity points or whatever.

I recant my previous statement.

Personally I think every game should have the ability to save at any point. This may go against some hardcore gamers sensibilities but some of us don't have the time to plow through a game in one sitting.
