Minecraft is an exception, not the rule. Steam allows for easy installation of user-created content as well. This lets games like Scribblenauts and Skyrim have even larger mod communities. The main question to ask in this case is "Would Minecraft even be so successful if Valve hadn't injected new life into PC gaming?"…

Or rather, you should say that only the games that are major hits can survive without Steam (assuming we're not talking about huge games that receive multi-platform releases).

I hope in the future, they try a version of the varia suit that's a little more sleek. The giant balls on the shoulders always struck me as being a little cumbersome towards her field of view.

You shouldn't hate any console. That is silly.

Hey fellow scouser :)

I cant believe that Jezebel re-prints their stories or uses them as a source, they wouldn't use Fox News as a legitimate source yet for stories in the UK it is fine to use Daily Fail.

When Jezebel ever reports on the UK they sound like the Daily Mail aka very right-wing, we get it you don't like the UK but don't report right-wing propaganda stories about the UK, also stop using the Telegraph and the Daily Mail as sources.

Exactly. These stories don't surprise me necessarily, but the Daily Heil loves to round up similar anecdotes periodically in order to demonstrate the collapse of 'proper' (ie, southern, middle class) society. There's a huge dose of classism at play here.

This is a fallacy in part. Yes the last Friday before Christmas is often crazy busy with people drinking in bars, people who don't often drink and therefore try to keep up and end up sloppy. But Mad Friday is a moniker that the papers perpetuated this year to raise moral panic. We're drinkers over here, granted, but…

yeah...but these boots rock!

THANK YOU!! This is so clearly what he meant to me and I was immediately thinking "What is offensive and racist about that?" And I am black so I figured I am amongst the group that should be offended. I am - by the fact that SOMEHOW this tweet means either black people can't spell or a legitimate name that is probably…

Except nothing that Steve Martin said conveys anything remotely close to "...assuming they're the lowest common denominator of society and can never contribute to society in a positive way."

Totally agree with you, dollyrkr. I read this site because it's sometimes entertaining but I cannot deal with the hyper-sensitive, humorless attitude when it comes to even remotely non-PC jokes. Does anyone REALLY think Steve Martin is racist? Why are we so focused on semantics that the bigger picture is completely…

This is ridiculous. He's saying if you were in a black neighborhood, Lasonia could be a girl's name, but in an italian restaurant you would be referring to the food and thus it would be Lasagna. The "black people are stupid" is something you've read into it yourself and is not the point of the joke. He removed the…

I admire the way that the level design in Rayman Legends unobtrusively teaches you the way that this game is meant to be played. The game's many collectibles cultivate the ability to read signals in the landscape and respond with acrobatic precision, so that mastering the stages means enjoying their fluidity and tight…

Considering most of the commenters like you never once opened up Blender and assume it's easy to render detailed, large-scale airships or even basic level assets and the comments should sound like this. 9 commenters should be able to come to the same conclusion in 15 minutes but I doubt they ever got past Intro to CS…

Isn't anyone else kind of rooting for him getting shot on the doorstep of the person he's delivering the painting to, because they felt threatened?
