  1. Spam-induced thread about watches

    * Giving someone an address or a phone number
  2. Taxing the MMOs

    Can't you do that? I have trouble believing you have to send taxes to the IRS in paper money.
  3. Girls and Games: Some Statitsics

    "39% of gamers are girls" != "39% of girls are gamers"
  4. Peter Molyneux gets homoerotic *snigger*

    It's perhaps more healthy to feel like a character loves you than to fall in love with a character.

    We don't want your kind here :/
  6. Spam-induced thread about watches

    He can't read or write. He has to have his younger sister help write all his posts here.
  7. Spam-induced thread about watches

    People like you piss me off.
  8. Grindhouse (2007)

    Hmm... I dunno... Robert Rodriguez is useless.
  9. Jack Thompson is back....

    No one cares except gamers.
  10. Movie/TV recommendations

    Baffling, isn't it?
  11. Movie/TV recommendations

    1. Medieval? This is around 500BC. 2. It's probably a scene from the comic book anyway.
  12. Battlestar Galactica Season 3

    One thing you'd expect from an occupation would be to see all of the Cylon models. And fucking Jammer. Wanker :/
  13. Battlestar Galactica Season 3

    Excellence <3
  14. Crytek and the insanity of realism

    My point is that achieving dramatic realism can be nigh impossible without realism in graphics.

    The hot one.
  16. Crytek and the insanity of realism

    Think of realist literature and movies that use hand-held cameras and such techniques to make a realistic impression. They lend gravity to the story. You make the player believe the events have an existance outside of the game. Then he goes and kills all his mates at school.

    Seems like a bad trip.
  18. Crytek and the insanity of realism

    Realism in graphics does have its uses. I don't think Max Payne would have worked with stylized graphics. I don't think Alan Wake would. The kind of games Remedy makes have to look 'serious'. Far Cry, on the other hand, is a game that could have worked well with stylized graphics.

    I don't know what the fuck you guys are smoking.
  20. Titan Quest

    I hear they've been doing a good job patching it up, so if you liked it at all you might want to try with the latest patch.
  21. Titan Quest

    You should buy this game. I don't know if it's any good, but I know a guy who worked on it. I haven't played it, but I think it just might be the greatest game ever made. It might be! You should probably buy it and see if it is.
  22. Shoot me in the face! Repeatedly!

    True Combat: Elite is stunningly good. I haven't played in some months, but it's brilliant. You need to have a certain amount of players for it, plus voice communication would be ideal. EDIT: Looks like the mod has had some updates since I last played. I'll have to check it out.
  23. Alan Wake

    Martin Freeman. Morgan Freeman. Also, Finland is quite far from Texas, 3DR pedigree or not.
  24. Important announcement

    Haven't you ever seen a Finn?
