Third Hand smoke
The thing about smoking tobacco is that it isn't psychotropic in any perceptible way. So what's the point? It's like trying to get drunk from drinking 7up.

BG guru? Aren't these forums filled with people who've replayed the BGs a bunch of times? I know I'm one of them.

FO:NV: The Return of Gameplay Mechanics Discussion
Are you now arguing with me about taste? No. I remember three songs, two of those were incredibly boring. So, there either are good ones which I missed, or... I'm arguing with you about taste. Lelianas song and the one that plays in end credits are really good... but thats about it. He isn't bad but he isn't great either. I hope someone else does the FO-NV score. Wot, the suicide inducing one from that generic rock band?

Heavy Rain
It seems to me that if the plot isn't wasted away in the same fashion as Fahrenheit, and if the Simon says scetions aren't there at all, this could turn out to be a very interesting game, even if the core gameplay is as unsatisfactory as the bits shown in the videos seem to be. I'd play this if it was on PC.

Media Industry sues ISP because users download
I get that, I really do. But none of this stuff is critical, it's all pretty much entertainment. So if you have to wait 6 months for something to release in your own country, why is that a big enough deal to break the law over? I've made the argument before that there is this odd sense of entitlement to the whole piracy debate that I've just never understood. The point isn't that region locking justifies piracy. It goes without saying that it doesn't. The gist of the issue here is that media corporations are essentially encouraging piracy and missing out on a potentially huge customer base by doing region delays. It's not about morals, but rather about lack of business sense on the part of the corporations. Steam's regional pricing , to give an example, essentially means I don't buy any game on it, directly, unless it's one of those bargains. And I'm essentially the demographic which services like Steam target. What's the point of that? Corporations should stop playing the morality card, which is pointless, and start offering competing services to the people who pirate. Imagine if, say, ABC, offered a torrenting worldwide service of Lost episodes, for, say 5$ an episode. Kind of like the price of a movie ticket. They could, as encouragement, guarantee speedy delivery, better quality files and extras like a preview of the following episode, stills of the show, wallpapers, and whatever. The bottom line is that to stop piracy, companies have to treat piracy as any other competitor.

Avram Grant's wife reacts to Husband's brothel visit
I edited the title for ya. I'm pretty sure Avram Grant isn't female or married to a guy.

But you are in the States. In the rest of the world region locking affects practically everything, and inevitably leads to greater piracy.

ARE WE EVER GOING TO GET SOMTHING NEW!!!
I'd wager that Matt ignoring the reference to a Summer release, means AP is coming out in June or later. Sad panda.

Dante's Inferno
While I've never played God of War, my understanding is that GoW is Devil May Cry/Ninja Gaiden for the gaming-impaired. Is that correct?

Admitting that you are a pirate is usually the only thing that gets piracy threads instalocked.

Everyone tells me that it's awesome in co-op, but Gears of War combat blows chunks when playing solo...

While I haven't seen Brendan and the Secret of Kells, I have to say that the other two movies don't really hold a candle to Ponyo. Even Up, which is far and away the best of the two was rather uneven and could quickly go from sublime to standard American animation. I'd say that Ponyo, while not up to the level of Mononoke or Totoro, still provides a deeper, better animated experience with little or no low points. Besides, these are the Oscars not the Let's-See-If-Miyazaki-Outdoes-Himself-This-Time awards.

Ponyo wasn't even nominated. The academy's retardation knows no bounds.
