I'm not against abuse in MP games, they are deathmatches, not an afternoon tea. There just needs to be a way to get rid of the rampant racism and misogyny.

That Xbox controller is awesome to play with, but the battery situation is ridiculous. I take out the battery pack every time I am done with it since there doesn't seem to be any way to shut the controller off. They couldn't put a power switch on the thing?

It is now part of our curriculum in many school districts to try and teach kids not to be internet dickwads. We call it digital citizenship. I have no clue if it will be effective, I think I can do a pretty good job talking with kids about this stuff since I've been dealing with you guys for so long but a lot of my coworkers are clueless.

Why are you making stuff up Volo? You know what, I dont think you really support PEDs, I think.you are just arguing for the sake of arguing. I will stop now, you got me.

Here is a quote from last year's NL MVP winner Buster Posey about Ryan Braun: So this really is about the players. The owners would probably love to let these guys juice it up, jeopardize their personal health for bigger numbers and all that.

No one is saying steroids will make a crappy player great. That isn't how they work. You still need the hand eye coordination, the discipline, and everything else. Barry Bonds is one of the greatest hitters to ever play the game. He didn't need steroids for that. He knew the strike zone better than every hitter of his time. But steroids allowed him to strong arm more balls over the fence. Does he break the homerun record without them? The evidence of his early seasons says no. The sad part is Barry Bonds did them because he was watching Sammy Sosa and Mark Maguire, players he felt he was far better than, getting all the attention in the homerun race. When a player does performance enhancing drugs, they are cheating, and the people who suffer the most are the other players. They are the ones playing against someone who is cheating. Every player in the majors is immensely talented, you don't get there unless that is true. So when two players go against each other, and one has used chemicals illegally to give them an edge, I don't understand how you support that. You are basically telling every player that they have to take PED's to compete in the big leagues.

I'm looking at it more like a bonus level or DLC than an actual game.

You are really ok with players sacrificing their long term health to get an edge in a game? For someone who typically champions player's rights, you seem awfully willing to jeopardize their health for some better stats.

So Volourn is a full on supporter of steroids, I didn't see that coming. You are usually pretty aggro about people who cheat and do things illegally. Is your argument really that performance enhancing drugs don't enhance performance? I think the federal government chasing retired athletes around is ridiculous, but MLB dealing with current players who are cheating seems like a no brainer. Volourn, it doesn't bother you that Ryan Braun lied through his teeth to everyone about this?

I'm going to the Giants/Reds doubleheader tomorrow, pretty stoked! I'm also a bit grateful that the ticket prices were pretty low thanks to the Giants having a terrible last month.

I'm always shocked how many people loved Fallout 3 but hated F:NV. I have my preferences, but I don't get the overwhelmingly negative reaction some people had to one over the other.

It really depends. A 60 year old dating a 40 year old isn't that crazy. I'm assuming you are at more of a 30 year old with a 20 year old place, which isn't terrible. But you'll need a pretty mature 20 year old if you don't want to regret it. The best scenario is a 3 year old dating a 2 year old. The creepiest is an 18 year old with a 12 year old.

After the recent interviews about the game, it sounds like a safe bet for the holiday season this year. I would think it would be out before Christmas, to be honest. It might not get to Australia until later though.

I'm right with Amentep, I was enjoying Oblivion until they sent me through my 3rd or 4th gate. That seems to be an issue with Bethesda, I thought Skyrim was better but the dragon fights become repetitive as well. The only Bethesda game I've ever finished was Fallout 3, and I never felt that was repetitive. But I don't really regret buying them, they are great looking games that usually always give me at least 20 hours of fun. I regret buying Perfect Dark for the N64. That is probably my biggest game buying regret.

I got a pretty long list, all for decent prices. With Kickstarter I had not bought many games this last 12 months, so it was nice to splurge. Saint's Row 3 Farcry 3 Farcry Blood Dragon The Cave NBA2k13 Risen 2 Organ Trail Chivalry Fallout: NV last two DLC's. I still think I kept it around $50, so that's not bad.

So I got the Summer Badge, and then promptly went and sold off all of my extra cards. I'm hoping to raise a buck or two to help pay for Farcry Blood Dragon.

I've found that they have a lot of body issues and use tats and piercings as a distraction. But of course ymmv.

The original or Warband? Mind you, there really isn't much difference. I'd say Warband is much better at giving you a clear sense of purpose and how to become a powerful lord.

I just voted for it, and will snatch it up if it wins for the flash sale.

What I'm saying is they probably have to observe the activity for themselves. They can't rely on your detective work, no matter how good, when banning other players. When you report players, they probably make a list of those names, then have a DM to watch the reported players to confirm. That's just my guess on how the system works. It's how I manage my classroom, after all.

I would assume they have their own policies on dealing with exploiters and cheaters, and a youtube video taken by a player may not be considered admissible evidence.

Prison Architect (the game, not the cards ) looks very cool, but it's still too pricey for me at $20.

I played it during the free weekend a couple months back. I couldn't figure out how to attack. You would think in a first person combat game it would be left-mouse, but no. I gave up after 15 minutes because it was just terrible. That's odd, did you play the tutorial? Left mouse slashes, mouse scroll up jabs, and mouse scroll down overhead hacks. I managed to kill a few people in my first two fights, so not too bad.

All this talk about Jordan playing baseball reminds me of the greatest athlete ever.
