I don’t have kids, so my free time isn’t nearly as scarce as yours, but I do value my free time and would like to spend it with games that respect my time. I used to love wasting my weekends as a teenager on lengthy RPGs, but as an adult, I only really have the time to play the truly great ones. I think Jason’s point…

Absolute objectivity in a review doesn’t really make sense to me. I always loved the fact that so many reviews exists for movies/music/games/etc. because it allows us to find voices that align with our own tastes in media.

My soon-to-be-wife works in Chattanooga right now, and I 100% agree that this is the way to go. However, I think cities that are going to realistically pursue this are looking for a boost to their economy. I believe Chattanooga was looking for a piece of the technology pie when they went this route, and that…

This is the part of it I feel most people overlook far too often. I live in Dallas and some of my co-workers are gung-ho about tax cuts because they feel they don’t owe the government anything. Guess you don’t need all those roads you use to get to work, right? Some enterprising private entity will build a road for…

I lived and worked in Austin for a few years, and I’ve been back in DFW for the past two. Dallas itself is exactly like this, but all the peripheral towns and cities in the Metroplex haven’t really caught on as quickly, which is a shame.

100% agree. My family is of Indian ancestry (and it shows), so we’ve learned not to start a lot of conversations living in Texas. My parents don’t really avoid the neighbors, but they don’t seek them out either. Lots of folks are as nice as they make themselves out to be. Others keep their beliefs close to their…

I grew up in the DFW area (currently working there as well, plotting my escape to basically anywhere else), and I can say with full confidence that most people here would also turn down the help because they think going through hardship (in this case, a gas “shortage” - they take every excuse they can get) makes them…

Stieglitz...

While this *could* be real (probably not), I’m pretty sure that Nintendo will come up with something functional that works well with their games. They made it work for the N64, so why not here? Also, one of these with every console that will supposedly be as powerful as the PS4/XB1 is going to be hella expensive. I…

I feel at this point a lot of GOG’s userbase is comprised of folks who really enjoy the service and don’t want to take it for granted. Maybe if they become mega-popular the way Steam has one day, they will be tighter on this stuff, but I really admire the place they’re at now.

On this, the day of my Vita purchase.

This way I can praise the sun in the right direction at all times.
