One thing I disliked about part 1 was the hidden dalmatians everywhere. I like to play a game thoroughly, and knowing there were a bunch of these things I either never found or couldn't reach drove me crazy. Never actually finished part 2, but I did find the Gummy ship-building and piloting...

Well according to that, your home is a place where you can have "An objective, legitimate or reasonable expectation of privacy". Checking on your Google searches is absolutely a violation of that privacy. The cops are doing this specifically so theywon't have todo "their job" (which is to...

So what defines whether or not someone has a reasonable expectation of privacy? Can I assume some degree of privacy when I surf porn on the net in my own home? What if that same porn is burned onto a DVD first so I'm not accessing the net while I watch it? What if it's on VHS? I mean, the...

I could almost,almostunderstand using certain flags as a starting point, as a way to say "Hey, maybe we should check into this." Make a phone call, even send a police officer or something. But six armed guys in three SUVs doing the rounds a hundred times a week (almost exclusively over nothing)...

I'll take "Completely unwarranted outbursts" for 200, Alex.

One of my Facebook friend just posted a link to this story, outraged. I quote: "After being found not-guilty in a murder trial, this guy is out speeding with a gun and gets off with a warning?" One response: "Let's just pretend this clown was, A. Innocent, and B. Sane Would you EVER so...

Jailhouse Roc: The FACTS About Hip Hop and Prison for Profit

I think he just admitted he's into Asian men.

So, ummm... Dragon's Crown is looking pretty good. (All from Deviantart)

Why would you be ostracized for saying this? It's possibly the most intelligent thing you've ever said.

Ever heard of Jane McGonigal? She's all about using gameplay to improve the species. As a teacher (English as a second language), I really want to be able to incorporate the reward structure of video games into the classroom in order to motivate and engage students. Ideally, I'd love to...

I love your avatar and your alias, by the way. Excellent choices.

Awesome series. Incredibly polished and full of fan service. I agree it got a bit too complicated to keep track of the numerous spinoffs, but really that doesn't matter. If you just stick to the main entries you'll get a lot of very satisfying gameplay, and whatever handheld versions you play...

From Hodj.

DO NOT play it on console. Don't get me wrong, I got really into it on PS3 well before it was even available on PC, but the console versions got 1 patch and they won't get any more. Console versions are missing a big chunk of the current character roster, plus there are some game-breaking bugs...

Feel free to give it a shot. Because you`ll be starting at a low rank, you likely won`t be playing with pros yet so you should have a chance to learn the ropes without being steamrolled. Lone Star is a decent character choice for a first-timer. His bull charge is good both defensively (to push...

It's hardly a new release at this point, but has anybody else gotten into Awesomenauts? It's got MOBA sensibilities (minions, turrets, branching paths, bases, gaining currency/levels, buying/upgrading powers, etc) done through tight 2D platforming. While it may not have the depth of DOTA2 or...

Canadian Man Sorry for Chugging Eight Beers and Swimming to Detroit

Ha ha! It's funny because feminists.

You remember incorrectly. Anyway, sorry for busting your balls, but the point I was trying to make here is that your choice of words matters, especially if you want people to be able to take you seriously. Mixing up were/where, your/you're, to/too and using apostrophes for plurals all make...

I forget... Fanaskin, which side of the "Rachel Jeantel is an illiterate moron incapable of communication" debate were you on?

Jesus Christ.

This thread is getting stupid. Am I allowed to start talking about how Zimmerman's life was likely never actually in danger again? At least that was an interesting discussion.

Speaking of Castlevania 4...

Andthis happenedat Lac Megantic, in Quebec.

I was in Japan when this happened. Amagasaki rail crash Ten months before the crash, the young driver had overshot a stop and underwent strict punishment. He was harshly reprimanded and had to write reports explaining his actions. When he found himself in the same situation later, he...

I thought Gunvalkyrie was pretty cool, but it did bug me that I had to press in the analog sticks to dash. If it wasn't for Arino, I would never have heard of Umihara Kawase, let alone buy it.

Calling someone's post racist for pointing out a victim of racism's view of racism is racist. And a racist's racism towards another racist race's racism is still racist, even when race-baiting racists race to be less racist than the racists they accuse of racism.

Speaking of Japan exclusives, the Famicom got the extremely enjoyable Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti, a true gem. Knowing they couldn't recreate the gritty, gory atmosphere of the more well-known Splatterhousegames, Namco went for a cutesy, SD style that lends itself to a much more playful...

Umihara Kawase!! Never got the Super Famicom version, but I do have the PSP version. I think it's extreme difficulty and very-hard-to-get-used-to control scheme keep it from being accessible enough to be considered among the best platformers, but it certainly has its charm...

I dunno, I always thought Castlevania 2 wasterrible. Maybe part of the reason I hated it was because I didn't play it during my "infinite patience" childhood phase, so I was well past the point where I could forgive its many glaring flaws. Obtuse clues that mean nothing, things you could...

Speaking of masterpieces, Earthbound has been re-released on the virtual console! An outstanding and relentlessly clever RPG absolutely worth playing if you haven't yet. It has some bizarre flaws, such as each character in your party having his own very limited inventory (which works...

I loved Castlevania IV (part of the golden age of SNES gaming, as far as I'm concerned), but SOTN blew my tits off. It is easily one of the most polished and satisfyinggamesI have ever played, and I don't think I will ever get bored of it. The huge castle to explore, the countless weapons and...

Does Levar Burton look like a thug to you? How about a pre-president Barack Obama? I'm not saying every white person judges every black person, but it happens with enough regularity to be a systematic problem, whereas whatever negative things happen to white people because they are white are not...

You've piqued my interest. I read your whole post, but what it's missing (or what I've missed) is why minimum wage hikes increase unemployment for black people. By having that side of it kept hidden from me through several layers of marketing and media manipulation. Among many other small but...

Yes. Rerolled: Anything but the point. For someone who doesn't give a fuck, you sure have a lot to say about it. Here's the difference: You aren'tsystematicallyeyed suspiciously in convenience stores. White privilege doesn't mean we're all born with silver spoons in our mouths and everything is...

That shit is stupid. Like I've said at least 4 times, I'm not about "white guilt". I don't want white people to "feel bad" about their historic role in making things shitty for black people. That doesn't mean we can't acknowledge that we are privileged. It certainly doesn't mean we can't try to...
