Exactly what Archaotic said. I have a firm stance against piracy and I've been vocal about it on this very website but that doesn't mean that I want a badly thought out reactionary bill, whose intent is only to protect the large corporations and stifle freedom, from going through.

There is a difference between forced inclusion and breaking free of the stereotypes that pervade our culture.

Oh I agree and I don't think that the culture is doomed. In fact I want to believe that we'll get more heroes like the new lara croft (though we've yet to play that game I have a lot of hope for it) or characters like Oracle.

Perhaps I am being cynical but it feels as if the majority of the commenter have read the article and then fallen into the very same pitfalls that the author decries.

er...repost?

I would agree if you defined yourself in battlefield 3 by the stats you have. My accuracy is three times yours (at a whooping 15% on the nose). It's fun for me to watch the number slowly go up (it started at 14.3%) and gives me a sense of personal progression.

it's still there, in the upper right hand corner is a small icon in the shape of an eye, if you click that you have access to the different views, including the blog view.

Also if she regularly posts these perhaps she is a bit more conscious of her language.

i'm not going to say i stopped reading there but the whole article really is colored from the point of view of someone who doesn't like MMOs.

I think you hit it on the head. The overlap between gamers who use handhelds and people who play games on tablets isn't exact enough for these numbers to make sense.

Also didn't this get shown on kotaku a while back now? Are we recycling articles about cosplay?

That's a gross simplification. Blizzard not only innovated on their own but the good stuff they took from other games they made better.

Permaban for repeat offenders. Amen.

LoL only has ten free heroes but the pool rotates, does it rotate in HoN? I'm asking because I've never played HoN.

I'm very impressed with LoL F2P model, they constantly rotate their free heroes, they make sure to hit a spread of dps/support/tanks etc.. classes, you could really play that game without spending a dime and the only thing you would miss out on is having different visuals for your heroes.

It's still not funny even when you know what it's about. In fact Awkward Zombie must have its own brand of humor because I almost never find their stuff amusing let alone funny.

There's a rather large step between making a SC RPG mod and being able to make an mmo.

Like the phone it is a utility that is becoming more and more ubiquitous and necessary in our lives.

By "establish a relationship with you" does Mr DeMartini mean that i have to log into some EA server to get my patches?

You did sort of make a rather large detour from the story to make your point....
