Ya, I agree with you. I don't get why people (even if they work in the industry) are more concerned for the company than they are for the consumer. Unless you're one of the few elites at one of these companies... you should actually be more concerned about the consumer.

Actually I think they are just wanting access to a game and all of it's features. It's more akin to only giving the second buyer of the house everything except the garage. Online play is part of most games and in the past, many of these games didn't NEED a central server to play multiplayer. You could connect…

While I agree that buying used games does not support the original company and I don't buy hardly anything (game related or not) used, I disagree with many of his/her arguments about why.

Looks like someone covered up the little circle at the top of the /\

Maybe you should worry less about what others think about you then. If they are clearly wrong in their initial reactions, that's not your fault. You can't live your own life worrying about other people's snap judgments about others because no matter what... you're ALWAYS going to offend someone or come off as a…

This was my first thought too. EA making it's mark on Popcap in record time for the holiday season.

From the video: "It's like nothing you've ever seen in an MMO before."

I don't think that was the "point" to achievements. If it happens to be a side effect of them, so be it. Every developer seems to treat achievements differently and that's fine. Some devs use them to drive people to do certain things in game, like the multiplayer ones. If they want a few more people to play it…

OK, that was actually funny by the end of it. It starts off pretty slow. I think the parts during the second song were better.

The problem here is that he's making a joke about someone other than himself. The idea of laughing at yourself is one thing. The idea of laughing at the expense of another group, one which has a history of mistreatment by others, is what we call persecution.

Well here's the thing. There's a difference between people saying they are offended and trying to change other people's opinions through discussion and education on the matter at hand. It's another if the offended person thinks they have the right to NOT be offended by anything and immediately call for censorship.

I think most people already voted on their last endeavor with their money... by NOT giving them any.

U Mad? Just because he didn't like your favorite of games doesn't mean the article was about nothing. I actually found it quite amusing since I have almost (7 of 10) all the same complaints as him about skyrim. I've had many debates about the game with people that love it and I get the exact same replies as the…

Lol, I love reading people's comments about how WoW is "on it's way out". Have they lost some subscribers? yes. Are they also past the half way point of this expansion with little content other than end game raiding and some pvp? Yes. Does that mean they are going to steadily decline from now on? By no means. …

While reading through all of these posts, I was trying to remember my first, I had many different games to choose from but I had JUST through of this girl (Purimu) when the next post I see was this one.

I love getting to go to PAX every year. Clippings like these get me all excited about going!

Where is my Chell doll?!

Here's the problem... the church is the one that feels offended by this. That makes it somewhat of a religious topic. Anyone that's not religious doesn't see this as any more offensive as say... putting a church across the street from the school.

Simple word... A-Double P-L-E...

In both games, the first portal in the game shows you from the side, walking through a portal. But to your point, it IS form a slight distance and I agree that at some point, everyone pops 2 portals in a corner somewhere so they can see "who they are".
