18.1 makes an incredibly intelligent point.
He said he doesn't like cutscenes. With all due respect to the games themselves, I don't think any of those choices would cater to his tastes.
Half-Life, BioShock, Dead Space, Fallout 3... anything that forsakes cutscenes entirely for in-game events that never leave perspective would be his cup of tea, I'm sure.
One of the things I can understand about him liking Call of Duty 4 is that critical storytelling moments are told during gameplay WITHOUT leaving perspective, such as when you're seeing through the eyes of Al-Fulani, crawling out of the helicopter after the nuke lands, or when you get rescued at the end of the g...
Somehow I don't think MGS4 will change his mind. Its greatest achievement, as well as its biggest flaw, are in its cutscenes.

AtlasLoot. Just do it.

The Bratz line of dolls is a perfect recreation of teenage American society. You know, the one full of "liek OMG!" and spending half of a parent's income on expensive purses and $50 T-shirts. And hell. The dolls are named after "brats" anyways. Is this really something we want to be pushing onto the children of our country to begin with? Don't we have enough of this bull?
We all know that piracy is killing the PC gaming industry. With the extinction of private servers, WoW is an unpirateable game.
I'm not sure if anyone realizes this, but people can play on private servers WITHOUT PURCHASING THE GAME AT ALL.
This is just an anti-piracy measure. Warcraft takes an absolutely gargantuan amount of money to maintain. I'm sure even Blizzard is being hit by the recession.
@thewhoopimen: Makes a good point.
Here's another thing I noticed that is just downright weird. The point of the article is to prove the merits of putting Windows on a Mac, and having the best of both the PC and the Mac worlds.
In the article, he refers to Mac as having "excellent hardware" and Windows as "even better software". From what I remember, PC users use PC's because there are more hardware options, whereas Mac users use Mac because they ...
...You mean they had one to begin with?
"Always do everything in moderation, even World of Warcraft!"

...How exactly is it a "fake online RPG"? It fulfills all the necessary criteria of belonging in the genre.
I found this on-site comment insightful.
"I live in Australia and internet usage caps have been the standard here ever since broadband was introduced. It costs me almost US$65 per month for a 100gb ADSL2+ plan. Some of my friends are on 20Gb per month plans because they cant afford more and are constantly unable to play games or go about their business because they have run out of download limit. Im pretty sick of living in the arse end of the technological world. At heart, ...

He said "I'm really old". Doesn't that count for anything? =(
It was mostly a bunch of praise for the NXE. Praise that I can only partially share. He said something about the PS3 interface "not being equitable". Well the NXE basically hit that pitfall.
As much as I love the slick looks of the PS3 and 360 dashboards now, the old 360 blades system was just so much more manageable. You had entire menus spread out before you. There was very little tha...
The Wii. Yes, it's internal, no it's not in a card form factor, but it's still flash memory with a very limited amount of space.
