Pretty much, I guess what I was trying to say is that not that long ago there was more or less healthy (imo) divide between ones personal and professional life. Of course "trivial details" like political preference shouldn't play a role in whether or not one gets hired or not but in reality...

Well what if you go to a job interview for a job you really want and are qualified for. The boss tells you they already hired someone else but in reality he had a look at some info he could easily find online and decided not to hire you because you criticized his political party of choice years...

I knew there is often aggression against gay people on the streets and discrimination in the workplace but I didn't know (part of) the Russian government was still that extreme. Unfortunately news like this doesn't really surprise me when it comes from African leaders like Mugabe. P.S. I...

Today all of us are filmed by an ever increasing number of cameras in public places, many of us happily feed personal data into "social networks", our homes are visible in high detail on Google Street view, our telephones and gps make it possible to locate us every moment of the day. It...

Not that your opinion is wrong or anything ;) but adding wub wub shit to a classic OST doesn't really do it justice IMO. But I guess it's in line with the rest of the reboot. Imagine Metallic Monks getting that kind of treatment. :puke:

Yes it has layers upon layers of DRM for that special feeling of being treated like a criminal for buying their game :(

Perfectly understandable, Arena had (/has) a terrible control scheme. But as Token-not-found said, you may get used to it after a while. I'm playing Empire Total War: Road to independence (DLC). So far it's basically a streamlined Total War experience that starts with the Jamestown...

I don't see how that is exclusive to the Mongol empire, also they often gave their enemies the opportunity to surrender and switch to their side. They are not the pure evil conquerors they are often made out to be today. You portray them a bit simplistic IMO and again there were many other...

Any particular reason why those "shades of grey" don't apply to those great cultures?

New "patch" http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-11-22-skyrim-pc-patch-disables-ram-boosting-laa-mode

I'm sure that's an issue with the engine that will get patched. I have seen a lot of people with i7 processors (and good gpu's) who also dip below 30 FPS in some areas for no good reason. Apparently Skyrim uses the cpu to render shadows which causes slowdowns so turning down the shadow...

And for trailers of popamole reboots of classic Bullfrog games. I didn't know what dubstep was before I saw that travesty and someone made a comment about the atrocious music they used.

I was looking forward to that game but I stopped caring when I learned it wasn't going to be a real point and click adventure but a QTE filled Heavy Rain type "interactive movie"/ game. I tried out the Anno 2070 demo today but unfortunately it always crashes to desktop when I try to start...

Is a great movie. It reminded me of A Space Odyssey and Solyaris both visually and thematically. Moon was Duncan Jones debut movie. If I recall correctly I read in a interview he wanted to make at sequel.

Me too, but I'll stay with GTA IV and EFLC until V gets released or until SR3 is much cheaper.

Played SR 3 for a little while, vehicles are floaty and physics and animations are mediocre. City is bland and there isn't a lot of traffic compare with Liberty City, graphics are good enough but not on the level of GTA IV either. The map seems fairly small but there are tons of side missions...

Glad you enjoyed it :)

I do, this game gets perfect scores and when someone mentions or shows some flaws he or she gets ridiculed, is asked to compare it with other titles or is simply told that mods will iron out the ugly parts. How is this acceptable in a full priced 2011 release that gets hailed for its "advanced...

I miss the days when games were rated on a logical scale from 0-10. I wonder when 7 (or even 8) became the new 5/10. I prefer scoreless reviews but I imagine those would generate less attention/ traffic and are therefore not a viable alternative :question: Will read the article later...
