    The drummer is at the wrong gig

    If the drummer of your band was actually capable of playing like that, then maybe your band wouldn't suck. Note: I'm just seizing the opportunity for some friendly one-upmanship; I don't actually know if your band sucks or not. Even though it probably does. :smug:

    Surprising Internet Porn Statistics

    That 116,000 figure is meaningless, because only a moron would search for child pornography by googling "child pornography". It's like trying to contact terrorists by googling "terrorist organization". No CP site would be foolish enough to advertise the fact that it is a CP site, unless the...

    Alpha Protocol

    Current MetaCritic score - 66 http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/alphaprotocol?q=Alpha%20Protocol Might not seem that terrible, but when you consider that AP is a AAA title released less than two days ago, you realize 66 is almost Big Rigs-class failure.

    Fireside Chat: Alpha Protocol reception and New Vegas

    Perfect. I assume this is due to Bethesda keeping a close eye on the project. Though Bethesda has a rather poor record as a publisher, New Vegas represents the first instance of an external studio working on their IP (well, "their" IP), so it stands to reason they are much more stringent on...

    Fireside Chat: Alpha Protocol reception and New Vegas

    Great summary, Kharn. I agree with all your points, though I must also admonish you for your failure to use the phrase "SLAM DUNK!" even once. :D This testimony sounds pretty credible to me. It also indicates that Obsidian has graduated from churning out half-assed, Feargus-style SLAM DUNK...

    Alpha Protocol

    Re: alpha protocol got a 5 out of 10! Pro-tip: don't start a new thread if there is already an active thread on the same topic. Kids these days. Merging.

    Alpha Protocol

    This game is really getting hammered in reviews: bit-tech.net - 5/10 http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/xbox-360/2010/05/27/alpha-protocol-review/1 gladriel - 7.5/10 http://www.gladriel.com/reviewFull/content/1581/Alpha-Protocol-review/ There was also a 6/10 GameSpot review, until an...

    Iron Throne

    Yes, the game looks really nice, though evidently it was far from finished at that stage. The interface and portraits are especially jarring - clearly placeholders or mock-ups. Too bad nobody has any additional info. Maybe I should cross-post this at the 'Codex or 'Watch, there are plenty of...

    Iron Throne

    Recently I recalled a blurb I had read in June 1997 issue* of a Croatian gaming magazine (now long-defunct) about a then-upcoming Interplay RPG called Iron Throne. Though no game by that title ever came out, judging by the information in the blurb it now seems to me that Iron Throne is, in fact...

    EA to require gamers to pay to play online games

    Am I the only one who thinks that every BioWare game except NWN has been an improvement over the previous ones?

    Naughty Bear

    You think I wasn't aware of that? Serge, Serge, Serge. When are you going to learn that I know precisely what you are going to think or say long before you are even vaguely aware of it? In fact, I could call your entire thought process from the moment of your birth to ten years into the...

    Naughty Bear

    When I saw the thread title, my first thought was like but then I was like Seriously, a Pedobear game would have been awesome, but this sounds cool, too. I'm quite impressed by the visuals and the animation.

    First XCOM screens

    I've always been a proponent of the idea that indie games should be payable in food stamps.

    Half-life and Halo

    $20? That makes no sense. For that price you can buy the Orange Box, which includes HL2, both episodes, Portal and TF2. On topic: To steal Kharn's analogy, Half-Life vs. Halo is like a cat-and-mouse cage fight. Hell, any decent PC FPS vs. Halo is like a cat-and-mouse cage fight. Seriously...

    Looks like Pope Viper is no longer the oldest NMA-er. :D

    Speaking of which, most of my sex is third-person over-the-shoulder.

    First person Might and Magic. What a revolutionary concept.
