Great game, suffers from some annoying spawn points that makes trip mines useless. Edit: Just noticed how bad this post sounds, I really like the game.

Still, I kind of like the visuals in 4.

Hey, at least you have hair!

Artistic integrity. It's the answer to any question you may have about Mass Effect 3. This is probably the No.1 reason I don't want games to become art, eventually everyone will start disguising their inadequacies as art. Pretty much what a lot of the Fine Arts world is now.

Y'all are wrong, they just finished putting the whole color spectrum as an ending choice. Now you get a customized explosion of the color of your choice, same crappy ending though.

Well think about it if they changed a minute detail they risk the wrath of a thousand fans and FFVII fans are among the worst.

The one thing I took from my brief brush with discrete mathematics is that as long as the task are properly assigned, a few people can achieve results in the same amount of time than a larger group. I wouldn't count Square Enix out yet, their Luminous engine shows a lot of promise and will likely sustain their projects.

Funny, because he is a painter.History of Violence is a damn good movie, No Country for Old Men sucked though. I don't know why but I lose a little respect when someone says they liked that movie or that it was genius.

With tactics like these I don't doubt that the console market will fail http://www.pcmag.com...,2402454,00.asp Edit:mind you that its only a rumor.

Although, there's been a significant delay in next gen consoles. I don't think that Microsoft or Sony will be ready to release in 2014, so Valve is in a good position to take over the market. Their namebrand is strong enough to lend support to this idea and if the new console features Steam then I feel like that's going to give them a significant lead.

Euuccchhh. Couldn't the director simply have fellated Spielberg in private and saved us the movie? I think he fellated him to make the movie.

I saw it a while back but I shirked away from it thinking that it was a Online Shooter with a RPG flavor.

It would have been funnier if I could actually remember "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air"

Starship Troopers is awesome, I don't know why you're complaining.

I only remember Jack Thompson going ape**** insane over it. Publisher reasoning: 1 upset viewer = 1 Million upset viewers.

Point of clarification, "there's B-movies and then there's Quentin Tarantino does B-movies". That the game industry relies so much on cheap selling points its not a sign of maturity but of retardation. I don't mind sex and violence in my games, I do in fact tend to gravitate towards those things but at the same time I'm aware that most M rated games are nothing more than pubescent entertainment.

But the games were better, old men these days have no appreciation.

It's less a function of purely redistribution than it is of that higher incomes pay more tax, and per capita incomes are generally higher in the "bluer" states. Also, locations of major military installations make a big difference in terms of where money gets spent. As for the "extra economic growth" thing, well, good luck with that. Sounds like wishcasting to me. Those taxes are for redistribution though, miltiary spending aside. I'm not gowing to retread the economic growth argument, but that would be one way to find out, if historical evidence isn't enough. Beware what you wish for. I think that is a near certainty in the not too distant future. I believe it is necassary, unavoidable and undesireable. Maybe i'm too jaded from the last 3 upcoming apocalypses but i'm not buying into this whole foretelling. I mean I still have a mix CD full of songs with end of the world themes, but i'm beginning to doubt I'll ever play it.

Well, aside from web based communities there's the good old word of mouth. It's not an unknown example for a mod to become popular enough to spawn its own game, or for cult classics that now have a dedicated following. Anyways, i'm holding my breath for someone that's going to create an event or series focused on games outside of the norm of the AAA. Sort of like a Sundance festival of video games.

Indie games aren't likely to ever compete with AAA on terms of production values, barring a massive change in technology. But they will still find their niche and; unfortunately, if they become successful they will find their way into AAA companies. That said, there's a lot of AAA series that seem to have ran their course and are now taking a turn for the worse. What is worst, there are very few new successful IPs emerging

Was he being facetious or serious, I can't tell.

So even after the last E3 there's people that think that the future is AAA games? The indie market is growing and discontent for AAA game series is being voiced, even the casual audience has probably played enough clones to be sick of the generic. If Indie games can beat AAA in terms of pricing and enjoyment mid-tier producers have a shot by producing innovative games that appeal to those seeking for something other than what AAA games have become.

Just finished my run of Max Payne 3 on Hardcore, i'm one golden piece away from finishing the set. Wonder what the hell I will get for those?

Well, I just assumed that he was being a drama queen about giving out blood samples. Although if he did get stabbed, he would be about the umpteenth person I know with a zipper on their belly.
