The Gamer's Quarter

I'd noticed that too about modern hostility to evolutionary theory. It's not just the hicks from bumfuck nowhere - a lot of people who wring their hands about creationists start behaving in exactly th ...

Jesus Christ those people are speds. Isolationism was old by 1917 but it hardly matters what you get up to in the middle east if you end up with usury laws and the return of the 18th amendment at home ...

Why did Yahtzee have to end up working for these shirtlifters?

I'm stuck in a goddam hole in adventurer mode, my mission of bloody vengeance thwarted. Three-dimensional movement is going to take more getting used to than I thought. Some day I will determine if it ...

Is it really fair to blame Rand for the behaviour of all these cunts who interpret objectivism as a kind of social Darwinism, though? She was a huge perv, clearly, and she encouraged the formation of ...

Jagged Alliance 2?

Pick Up the Phone Booth and Die

What is the real story with the number of MGS games that Kojima wanted to make, then? I thought it was three, corresponding to the Genes - Memes - Scene outline, but clearly I'm a sucker.

EDIT: Als ...

I heard that the collision detection was kind of boned.

Whilst I'm sure that your diligence is worthwhile, Dess, I’d bear in mind that another of the most important elements in successful battle rapping is speed of delivery.

JDR is a 21st century Henry Darger. It's certainly interesting to hear that Boppin is actually any good - I'm tempted to download it from The Underdogs and give it a spin.

Games, in the generally used sense of the term, is a category that is mutually exclusive with art. The issue at hand arises because games as used to mean, roughly, "interactive computer mediated ente ...

What makes this really hilarious is that all of you fruits would cross the street to avoid a black guy in real life.

Black people in a videogame? CLEARLY SOMETHING MUST BE DONE

Someone from the Something Awful forums plays through Ecco the Dolphin, providing commentary - whilst in-character as Ecco. Spread over several videos and pretty much indescribable.

Don't even get me started about Planescape. It was without question Dungeons & Dragons' finest hour. I've never played Torment but I'm glad to hear that it lives up to its source material. It's in ...

What do filters provide that just not reading somebody's posts doesn't? Using them just seems ludicrously fragile to me, like Stalin having Trotsky edited out of photos. You may get rid of one person' ...

I don't see how, if you agree that wikipedia is under the control of Strike Force Asperger's, you can still think that jumping through their hoops is worthwhile. It's the exact opposite of an anarchy.

I'm just saying that you're not going to be able to change wikipedia for the better. Somebody's going to end up spending time and effort for nothing.

Why would you want someone to get their information processed through wikipedia when they could get it directly from the source? You're playing directly into their hands.

What exactly are you hoping to achieve by this? Wikipedia is a horrible wasteland populated solely by autistics and pedophiles. Engaging in an internet slapfight over whether or not The Gamer's Quarte ...

Nobody with half a brain is a first adopter of any technology, let alone medicine, but that clearly isn't what the fuss is about. What I'm saying is that sometimes, sadly, people reach the point where ...

What do you expect from people like that, though. At which point did feminism lose its marbles?

mind you i think it's because of the collectivist memeplex that underpins the american left ...

I've always found it funny that a news site with Naomi Klein's dick wedged so firmly in it's mouth is also the most advertising-filled of anywhere on the internet.

I'll be voting for Michaela Dicker.

At this point it would probably be quicker if you could just give us a list of what isn't.

Clearly, the whole thing is the fault of Korea's early game rush culture. If only his victims had time to build bunkers and/or photon cannons as well as an economy this tragedy could have been averted ...

Oh no! Numbers! (spooky music plays).

The BBC has well and truly stopped pretending to be anything other than a propaganda organ.

It wasn't the difficulty in and of itself, so much as the moronic bloody slog. Not to dwell on the bad, it looks as if Kuju have got the right idea with D&D Tactics.

Stones, glass houses, etc. The more information is released, the more it looks like Bioshock is going to be to System Shock 2 what Deus Ex 2 was to Deus Ex.
How do you mean, exactly?

I mean it loo ...

Every time I find myself experiencing a twinge of nostalgia pertaining to Dungeons & Dragons, I think of the time I tried to play through Baldur's Gate and I'm instantly cured. It is a game made b ...

Stones, glass houses, etc. The more information is released, the more it looks like Bioshock is going to be to System Shock 2 what Deus Ex 2 was to Deus Ex. Those videos give me the strong impression ...

The Clash's version of I Fought The Law. Hardly obscure, but a great example of a band totally taking ownership of a song.

jeff minter's giving the keynote speech for the independent games festival at gdc.

He never seemed like the sort to bother with that kind of thing. Good luck with setting up an interview if you ...

the thought that i'll be seeing jeff minter in person in a few weeks blows my mind.

Really? What's the occasion, if you don't mind me asking. I don't know if game design has auteurs, but if it do ...

The RB button does the oddest thing. It stops time and makes your player put his hands out like he's scratching a record. At this point you can play around with the analog sticks and the background w ...

the che thing is just confusing, though. the only theory i have for why people would lionize an otherwise useless piece of labor camp building shit is because he was a child of privlege, like them, w ...

I think there's a difference here between finding something to be in poor taste and failing to recognise it as satire in the first place.

i remember reading somewhere that the only reason motoko is gay is because shirow masamune didnt want to draw a guys butt in one of the sex scenes.

Truly this is a great step forward in the media's ...

If we're pointing out underappreciated brawlers, then I'd like to mention Guardians Of Altarris. It may be in Flash, but there's something about it that has got me hooked.
