A genuinely fair society is kind of a Catch-22, as in order to estabilish and maintain it, you have to be exceedingly unfair. A non-Catch-22 approach would require humans, in general, to be intelligent critters capable of thinking for themselves and forming independent opinions that lead to...

Given the way humans typically work, if we shut down modern charity, we're not going to see any replacement. If anything, I believe you've misconstrued Zizek's point, which is that we shouldn't treat modern charity as the ultimate solution, but rather a stepping stone on the way to reinventing...

**** you and your modern games. Replaying Morrowind reminds me just how awesome TES used to be. The variety of weapons, the complex political landscape of Vvardenfell, the philosophical, social and other themes included in the game... They don't make 'em like they used to.

It isn't different. It's all a response to feedback. BioWare simply didn't have anyone brave enough to tell the director "No. That's ****ing stupid. We can't release the game like that", so the duty fell to the players. Actually, a better analogy would be him changing the next part to include...

Personally, I wouldn't mind an optional client to make downloading and purchasing titles easier.

The more I see of GOG's publicity campaign, the more I'm convinced they're making them horrible ON PURPOSE. Whatever, as long as they continue to provide quality service, they can post commercials of them running around in black leather thongs, pouring joghurt on each other and sensually...

Seriously? That's your argument? Stuff gets changed all the time, often as a result of audience input. You somehow failed to understand that Bioware is going to change the ending because of fan input, not according to player input. The same way the person who authored that moronic comic strip...

I love Steam. Whenever I have a working Internet connection. When I don't, I hate Steam, because it can't go to offline mode without being online first. And I don't ****ing know when I'm going to be out of internets. Anywhoo, there are several titles that require BOTH Steam and for example...

Now that's uncalled for. So fans calling out Bioware on their lack of creative consistency in their own title and non-existent creative control when it comes to the last 5-10 minutes of the game are somehow the villains here? Talk about being a jackass with a comic strip.

The story is decent, if a bit... devoid of closure. Queen's Gambit is very rewarding though, even if the writing and voice acting are all over the place. Still, wish more Apocalypse Now missions were available. I remember popping in Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries in ARMA: Cold War Assault and...

Haven't tested for Arma II yet. Just wanted to check out the middle part of the Armawerse. It's quite awesome.

Jesus Is My Gunner

http://members.shaw.ca/jeanaltemeyer/drbob/TheAuthoritarians.pdf I recommend this fantastic book to gain insight into a conservative Christian right-winger mind. Or any right winger in general.

Did you even read the article? It's about how Gearbox interprets playtester input to improve the game. It's quite logical: rather than taking comments as fact, they try to grasp the underlying problems, eg. pacing, perception of speed etc.

Then you missed the point of the entire Mass Effect series, which is that life has a choice. ME wasn't about a pretentious AI from the Citadel controlling the Reapers to supposedly save organic life, it was about making a difference in the galaxy, about choosing your own fate, rather have it...

I think it's because they aren't pretty and/or nice enough for them. From what I read, even the best one is pretty damn grim.

It's a nice article, I'll give you that. However, I disagree with your assertion that the gallows' humor seems out of place. Consider the fact that most of the rebels, if not all of them, are not fresh to the battlefield. They've seen their friends, loved ones, total strangers taken away by the...

Sell it as Orange Box 2 then.

Uh, this wouldn't qualify for the Osborne Effect rims, because HL3 isn't going to damage the sales of CS:GO and DOTA2, as they are products aimed at different audiences. One is a competitive shooter, the other a, well, DOTA game, while HL3 is a predominantly singleplayer title. Personally, I...
