I meet none of these requirements except for the XP SP3 and broadband connection ones. I rarely if ever have 4GB of hard drive space, I have a 32MB Mobility Radeon 9600, 512MB of RAM, and a 1.6GHz Pentium M processor.

@Chron4no: You have spoken blasphemy.

@SideCH: Since when has the media treated M-rated games as anything but targeted exclusively for children?

@travisco_nabisco: Generally, even dominant genes reach an equilibrium. My mandelian genetics are a bit rusty, but I believe that the dominant equilibrium is 75% in a widespread, yet theoretically perfect population. If this was a small, closed-off founding community, then dominant genes might be 100% prevalent within…

@SideCH: Well, that's the thing. Sex sells, but only for adult products, like cars, deoderant, fashiony jeans, and other such objects.

Bayonetta obviously didn't chart because of those horrendously annoying commercials that are played on the TV up two twice in a single commercial break.

@dracosummoner: It's a sex columnist's site. Where did SFW ever pop into anyone's mind?

@BillyMurdock: That's a nice way of saying it, but I'm still falling behind the gaming world at an alarming pace. I mean, just a year ago I was three years behind. Now I'm five years behind, somehow.

N64 gameshark was painful. One in two cartridges got the Deadly Eight error, where an 8 would flash on the LED screen (which is the ONLY time it would flash) and it'd break forever.

I haven't bought any games since Halo 3: ODST the day it came out, and Rome: Total War in July. I have a massive backlog of games, including both Mass Effects, Bioshock 2, MW2, and pretty much every game released for the computer since 2005.

I quite enjoy watching these Rock Band/Guitar Hero reimaginings of video game music for two reasons.

I like the "Can't Sell" approach. It evades instances of "Bought a game, played it for a few months with friends while it was hot shit, sold it back" reselling, which entices developers to make games with less replayability. After all, who wants to buy a used game that's not hot shit anymore?

So, Volition, instead of making Freespace 3 and reviving the large space-flight-combat-sim market, makes another GTA-clone-with-character-customization game?

If they lay off any part of the ACES team, I will personally go to their headquarters and kick every single executive in the genitals.

@roman2838: I miss the days when IP was shorthand for IP address, or even Internet Protocol.

@Orionsaint: So military intimidation in voting, as well as many undemocratic coup d'etats have nothing to do with it? It was all purely democratic and fair?

Brotherhood of NOD costume, eh?

@ara: CS:S and CS have pretty much been on the top 10 best monthly sellers on Steam ever since they've been released on that platform.

@Yossarian: I see what you did there, and I applaud it.

I like the ironic #breaking tag.
