I'll never be able to look at a skinny person the same way ever again.

The problem is that the imperial system has two different scientific "pounds", namely pounds force, and the avoirdupois pound which measures mass.

It's an obvious dilemma for publishers. On the one hand GameStop is really effective for marketing their products, but on the other hand they feel that they're doing them damage.

They got better mid-to-late nineties with on-screen UIs, but it was an issue that basically plagued all sorts of electronics. If you were lucky your stuff had a line of an alphanumeric display. Without carefully plowing through the instruction manual you were basically screwed.

I guess the margins are much more lucrative on games than books or DVDs. That, and it's probably more about GameStop who use aggressive sales tactics to sell their stock over and over again. If your main retailer is pushing used products you have a problem.

Sounds like you should have stuck round for Economics 102.

Those people will be there just as much as before. And they'll make up a bigger share because people who write honest and detailed reviews will be more anxious about posting them.

Won't help one bit. All the shills use fake accounts anyway. All this will do is prevent genuine people, me including, from writing reviews as I don't want anything like that being tied with my real name.

a) Opinions don't matter when it's entirely objective. Logic and counterevidence are hardly a matter of opinion. There are just so many ways to tear apart your "submission" that I'm not even going to bother starting.

Reductio ad absurdum is a perfectly valid method of argument. It is effective in disproving generalized statements via contradiction. You may find this particular instance offensive if you're sensitive against such things but there's no problem in the logic.

Except that it only works in Tony Danza's favour. The OP mad a generalized statement (people should be able to do what they want with their money). It isn't an argument so it isn't a fallacy.

"Raus" is an adverb, it doesn't really make any sense as a verb.

LOL, now that would be a project I might be inclined to pay for.

It's so ridiculously easy to exploit people for money, especially when there's children involved, that I just can't accept that attitude.

All the Javascript simply made the site less usable, and I guess that also affected Google and Facebook. It's probably impossible to separate which part of the drop came from the broken links and which part came from users having trouble on the main site itself as the problems probably just enhance each other.

It's hard to see how these could things that go against the tradition of the franchise. Online DRM is certainly a trend in the industry.

Really? Sure, eventually people who stick around learn to live with it, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone genuinely praise the last redesign's layout.

I'm just not seeing the disrespect. Older players might be turned off by the casual elements these days, but they're probably forgetting what got them into the franchise in the first place.

Not really all that different. Diablo 1 was kind of clunky and all the character classes were the same. Diablo 2 had more differentiation between characters and better controls, but it required a lot of manual dexterity if you want to switch through a lot of spells. In both games combat was about 50% spamming the…

How has Diablo not been a casual franchise? The first game was a "casualized" RPG with some impressive visuals (for the time) and multiplayer.
