    No DLC for FFXIII

    I was going to post my opinion, but you've pretty much summed up what I would have said. Oh, and FFT was great, if a little easy. Actually, it's one of my favorite games. The gameplay was really fun, the story was great, characters likable, and so on. Not expecting much out of FF13, though.

    CIV V Announced!

    Never made it to deity on Civ IV, but it did eat up several months of time. Hopefully this one is good too. Hopefully it's not like Civ Rev.

    According to 4chan, the block is already being rescinded.

    Good god, I hope this show tanks. More bullshit trying to glorify the hollywood, celebrity life.

    Fallout listed as most significant game of 1997.

    If coordinating invincibility usage with your team-mates is your definition of competitive, sure. :) And MLG rules are probably (like in other leagues) agreed upon by competitive players. So if you don't like them my guess would be you're not a competitive player in the first place. Or you...

    I agree. My problem isn't that he has a negative vision of humanity, but that the actual portrayal of it is badly done. The simplicity, lack of gray area, lame references to real-life situations/organizations/cultures, and its closeness to being propagandistic ruined it for me. It really is too...

    Fallout listed as most significant game of 1997.

    It would probably be fine if I were a more casual gamer, but it took the series in a direction that I didn't really like. It has really no hope (even completely modded) of being a fun competitive game for me. The game was meant to cater almost solely to causals, and in doing so they chose to...

    Fallout listed as most significant game of 1997.

    Yeah, I feel the exact same way about TFC and TF2. I don't particularly care about the graphics changes, but the removal of grenades, slower paced games, addition of unlockable weapons, invincibility/healing, critical hits and the switch to more dustbowl style maps ruined the game for me in just...

    Fallout listed as most significant game of 1997.

    Agreed... I've played many HL1 mods a lot (NS, CS, and TFC especially) and yet I haven't really found any way in which the source engine has actually improved anything. Regarding the single-player, the new physics and gravity gun just seemed gimmicky, but maybe I missed out as I had only played...

    It's really not as profound a thought as you'd make it seem.

    Torchlight - digital download Diablo clone by Diablo devs

    I'd rather have 6-0 mapped to q, w, e, etc so I don't have to move my hand every time I want to use one of them. Also, my left thumb is a bit sore so I would rather use another key instead of alt for highlighting loot. Not really a big deal though, most of the keys are fine.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 [shaking news and rumors!]

    The addition of a nuke was unnecessary, but in order to get it you have to use up one of your kill-streak slots. It's a huge waste because getting a 25 kill-streak is very rare, even for a good player; you can instead get more practical things like UAV, airstrikes or helicopters. Not that I...

    I don't think there is one either. There is a note about the shift key in one of the loading screen messages, though. But it is disappointing that you can't reconfigure your keys.

    Interplay joke video

    Well, it's a spoof of Armageddon, the movie. I'll admit, I laughed at a few parts...

    Philosophical Questions

    Even so, our knowledge of the material world is likely probable (if that means anything), because it is inconceivable as to how it could be a delusion. But your conclusion here that "thinking is impossible because the answers could be false" does not logically follow from anything. First of all...
