I'm quite confident the Japanses can have sex - pleasurable or not, I can't say - without affecting the birth rate. Contraception means you can have as much sex as you want without the pitter patter of tiny feet.

I'm quite confident that the Japanses can have sex, enjoy it, and not give birth.

Shouldn't be marketing it then, should they?

This looks like SCIV with a new character. It isn't DLC is it? The character models and stages look the same (I'm pretty sure the ship is completely unchanged from IV!).

I really wish they'd sort the story out. I struggle to buy their uber-terrorist takes out entire world storyline, just so they can have gunfights around American landmarks and within 50 feet of the Houses of Parliament. I quite liked the first one (WMD aside) because it felt a little more grounded; now it's just…

@Sakilla: The fear is of course, that you part with your monthly coins and the bugs, glitches, and flaws remain. MW2 was one of the highest-priced retail games at launch, and a significant part of it's "value" for the consumer was in it's multiplayer, and it didn't stop Activision turning a bit of a blind eye to it.

SOmething that didn't even appear in DOW? Not possible, I say.

@Strife Fox †: I don't think there's any attempt at skill or level based matchmaking.

Thank goodness Valve recognised Gabe Newell's talents.

@famoustrip: think some of the "fleecing" comments come from the administration trying to recoup lost income & jobs from the moratorium on deepwater exploration. BP didn't impose the moratorium though, and their disaster hasn't made any future disasters more or less likely. The moratorium was a decision made by the…

@Spritz: No, it's complicated. It's too deep for "normal" operations (remotely operated vehicles only). Congress are saying they cut corners with regrads to the number of blowout preventers, but I'm curious as to how much of that was Transocean (who actually owned, made and operated the rig) rather than BP (who…

@neil008: And Halliburton. They made the blow out preventers that became blowout allowers.

@DarkPGR: Yeah, the jetpacks do sound like they got inspiration from Reach, and it would be interesting to see how they'd operate, given that KZ2 was quite linear and lacked the open spaces of the Halo games - will the KZ engine take a hit?

@Jordan Golson: It's one thing to use the tools at your disposal to win, but in a number of games the winner is practically decided by reaching a certain point on a map first, or by getting a certain weapon (e.g. the spartan sword on H3), or my own particular un-favourite - getting a heli-chopper in a game of CTF in…

@Andy Kohnen: I think people have played so much Modern Warfare that they can no longer appreciate balance in a game. I can't imagine how annyoing it would be trying to play Oddball with someone armour-locking all the time... but if it was an option available, that's how every game would end.

@Lain01001: How can they really test Reach if it's a modded ODST we're Beta-ing? Surely the point would be to use the proper engine?

Who cares which one looks better? They all look pretty awful.

Does the fact that there is only twelve people using the service not vindicate microsoft's decision to shut it down?

@Nero: I'd argue the toss with that one. WH40K took the Starship Trooper marine and made them imperial guard.

@adamhunterpeck: Yes. Yes you are.
