Arguably what we actually need is more expert voices that are actually experts - people with actual credentials, actually talking from a position of great knowledge on the subject, and not conveniently skipping over things that don’t fit into their theory.

What Anita has done is prove that you can become a hugely…

To me, the art direction is completely at odds with the franchise. And so we’re clear, I’m not just talking about things being “dark” or “gritty” - Warhammer 40k is about *history*. Which is why the Dawn of War franchise (and I’ve played the hell out of it) has always failed in the story department - by creating a…

“Now, I make as many ‘Space Trucking Simulator 3303’ jokes as the next guy...but at least I understand that they’re jokes.”

Except they’re not. I mean this kinda stuff is neat an all, but it’s really not what you’re doing most of the time in Elite, and you’d be misleading people by saying otherwise. What you’re doing…

“It’s one thing to clear some cranial rats out of the sewers but another thing altogether to spend hours learning about your companion’s religion...”

Given that the cranial rats turn out to have a vast and powerful hive mind, the act of “clearing some cranial rats out of the sewers” becomes another thing altogether in…

Speaking as someone who used to write for a print magazine a few years back... editors don’t necessarily mean a lack of typos. My production editor at the time turned introducing typos to pristine copy into an art form. It was horrifying. He’d manage to invert the entire meaning of sentences with a single stray word.

To…

Oh no doubt, in terms of actually doing something about it at this point... *directly* it’d be impossible.

But that’s why what we actually need is a shift in culture. Kids need to be taught the real purpose of good sportsmanship; teabagging should not be seen as some sort of tradition (Halo plays a big part in this, I…

Be warned - if you get motion sickness or headaches from low FOV, this game will mess you up.

I think there was a bit of resentment, at the time, over the fact that Far Cry was by that point a stolen franchise - a case of the publisher keeping the rights while the original developer went on to do other things.

Which is why there was a fair bit of rivalry between Crysis and Far Cry 2 - Crysis being, in all but…

“It’s not a problem in standard gaming”

I’d say it is, actually. Because it’s the thin end of a very large wedge, and we have seen its effect over the past few years with increasing severity.

People seem to have forgotten that good sportsmanship isn’t some minor quirk of etiquette, or some sign of weakness - it’s a…

You should check out the “Devs Play” series on Doom - in which John Romero plays through Doom 1's first chapter and talks about the game’s development; it’s particularly fascinating, due to the fact that Doom’s design principles went on to influence the whole industry.

“Vital for others”.

To be honest, the kind of people who might consider such a cargo system “vital” to the point where they think it’s valid for the developer to be spending any time worrying about it now, at this stage in development, have such a niche view of game development priorities that they really shouldn’t be…

Gimballed you say? Are you sure you don’t mean *Gimbled*?

Dude, didn’t you watch 24? If the bad guys get the nuclear football, then Jack has to run around and save us all.

How dare you release such an article with no reference to 99 red balloons:

lol, Steam sale?

It won’t ever be on Steam, because EA threw a tantrum and set up their *own* digital store with blackjack and hookers (DLC).

“The first Battlefront 2"

AAAGH. This is making my head hurt. Why couldn’t they just call them Battlefront 3 and 4?

Oh right, yes - they didn’t want people to actually compare the new games to the old games, and realise just how much content they were setting aside for DLC.

I rather think you could extend that sentiment to “Any *thing* that gains popularity will have people using it for good and people using it for evil”. That’s the nature of mankind - if it can be exploited, it shall be exploited.

“...would just have a gambeson with mail over it or a simple brigandine.”

Which would offer considerably more protection than the above costume...

“First game. New Team. This was not hidden information.”

That’s not entirely accurate though, now is it? The game is marked as being a product of “BioWare”. This is on all the box covers. This was done deliberately, knowingly, by the publisher... because the publisher knows that BioWare is an established name, and…
