  1. Games are art thread -> "No, games are too competitive. You'd never call basketball art!" Games are sports thread -> "No, games are too exploitable. You'd never find exploits in basketball!"
  2. You? The most criticized? LOL Lurk moar Chewie, there are members who get more shit than you, the only difference is you post pictures of bears.
  3. I got responses from 3 out of 4 people I contacted, one of them not wanting to do the interview since they haven't been in-game in quite a while. However, the most notable players of CO are very helpful people so I didn't have the trouble I assume I might have had in some other games. Oh, and Champions gets a new Comic Series in November. I think after you've played the big releases you intend to, checking out CO again might keep you busy for a while.
  4. http://www.dorkly.com/video/21442/dorkly-bits-sonic-wasnt-fast-enough This is hilarious.
  5. You know, if it had stayed in the game like that, it wouldn't have been an issue, but they obviously changed it on time aside from the debug file. They knew it wasn't "right". However, people calling them out for it on Kotaku do seem to forget that Gawker called the commenters "internally" peasants.
  6. I wonder how much money he lost from Reddit.
  7. Remember to drag the article in the appropriate group
  8. I'm up for a roundtable. Ask devs to chime in, and we do our writers' roundtable after reading and posting the opinions of smarter men than us.
  9. Maybe he pirates all his games because he doesn't support DRM? On a serious note, I'll just paraphrase a Serbian Nobel prize winner: "Humans are the worst at predicting events." I will always give anyone predicting the "future" of anything raised eyebrows. We've had people who were even more qualified in their field than Valve or id go way off with their predictions. Someone could invent something we never could have comprehended before hand that sends the industry in a completely different direction.
  10. The series of articles on Champions Online are done. *goes and dies somewhere*

      Enjoyed reading those articles, though MMOs are not for me. Anyway, good job.

      You should really consider making Experience Points a running thing. It's not like there is a shortage of MMO's out there you could do. I would reccomend Star Wars Galaxies, since it's going to die soon anyway.

      Every news network pulls this crap. It's pretty typical really.

      Oh, and indie games do have an agenda. That's the whole point of most of them.

  11. The problem with your argument is the assumption that people boycott for moral reasons. If I were to boycott anything from a company, it is because I am not satisfied as a customer. Sorry, it's not a holier than thou reason, it's a quite selfish one since I care for my own personal benifit. Which is pretty normal considering I am paying MY OWN money. Why would I boycott something? Because if I don't, I'm sending the message that I am ok with the product. If I say I am alright with the practices of the product, I am sending the message to other companies that they can do the same. I am causing MYSELF more and more inconvenience. And frankly, gaming is in a PERFECT state to pass on on games you get pissed by. Oh, I'm not a fan of Ubi DRM, so what do I do? Will my life be worse if I don't play AC1, 2 and Brotherhood? Nope. I can find other sources of gaming entertainment for far less money. Indie games most surely have less production value, but a lot of them offer me hours upon hours of fun for less money. Will me not paying for a game make a change? I don't know, maybe it will, maybe it won't. I've seen companies make changes after 5 days of complaining, and refuse to make changes after 5 years of complaining. But you're a customer and you're a consumer: you have the basic RIGHT to complain. You have the right to show your disdain with a product. "Gaming is a luxury, durr hurr" so what? It's as stupid as an argument as saying you can't complain about free stuff. The hell I can't. I'll complain so much you'll think I get paid for it. You can be piss poor and not care about how you spend your money, and you can be swimming in cash and be a miser. I care for my time and I care for my money. If your product is wasting either of them because of something, I will tell you it is, I will tell you why it is, and I will take my business elsewhere. Always Online DRM is wasting my time whenever my connection dies. A piss poor port is wasting my time while I make everything work. This is time I could have spent watching porn. I don't want to waste my time with such products, so I will tell you to stop wasting my time with such products. There is no morality issue. It's a strict consumer-based relationship. If they don't count me as a loss, I don't count missing out on their product as a loss. The market has enough things for me.
  12. Shinobi 3, Alex Kidd in Miracle World and the Sega Master System version of Sonic 1.
  13. No, but I've bookmarked it and will get it next time I'm ordering books... which will prolly be Xmas.
  14. Guilty Gear > Street Fighter
  15. Seems the AU Gizmondo editor had a few things of her own to say: http://www.gizmodo.c...ors-online-too/ By the way, .au also has the unedited version of the MtG nerd article, which is even worse: http://www.gizmodo.c...thering-player/
  16. Just read that article. Urge to stab growing.
