Remember back when you were interviewing for a job, and the interviewer asked you

"What is your biggest weakness?"

and you said some bullshit like

"I am a perfectionist, and sometimes I let my determination to make things perfect get in the way."

Because had you been real honest and said

"I'm fucking lazy."

you would've lost the job. So you made up some crap and said it is your "weakness", but all you're really saying is how awesome and flawless you are.

So yea, that's what goes through my mind when I see stuff like

"I was too focused on how great we are and how a small independent team got their first game to over 700,000 users in a two-month period."

He's not really admitting his fault, he's just disguising self-praise in an "apology".

All of my friends (I personally abstained from D3) who were raving about D3 at the time it was released have stopped playing like less than 1 month in.

Blizzard, it's too late. The ship has sailed.

I'm a different type of gamer depending on the game.

I like to make sure I've explored all the rooms and corners in a dungeon crawler, but I don't give a **** about collecting flags in AC.

I love playing Dota 2, but I don't play online FPS.

I enjoy the story in Bioshock, but I skip through the dialogue in every MMO I've ever played.

You might want to re-read the article.

Oh fucking please. What Yee is saying is pretty much:

"The NRA are opportunistic d-bags for using the Connecticut shooting to jump on the Violent Video Games Hatewagon and gain support for its political views. I, on the other hand, have been hating violent video games circa 2005 and are calling out NRA's blatant opportunism while simultaneously doing the exact same thing."

What does

1.) a person taking a piss in a public space

2.) a guy who just turned 18 and is dating his 17 y.o. girlfriend

3.) an adult who forced a 13 y.o. to have sex

have in common?

The first person is probably drunk or really had to go, the second person is a normal person in high school, and the third person is a horrible human being.

But under the law, they are all sex offenders and are grouped as one entity. Hooray! Nothing can go wrong.

I find this REALLY ironic coming from the NRA.

Devs upset because some people didn't like the game.

Devs happy because, as it turns out, other people like the game too.

Talk about a pointless article.

Pointless article.

It's like Gamespot got concerned by the comments on the Parker article, and decided to publish another article basically saying "but that's only ONE opinion" to placate some of the Gamespotters.

Grow a pair, Gamespot. Parker's article was nicely written, even if there wasn't mass agreement with her opinion.

If online gaming has taught me anything, it's that hackers will eventually win. Every time.

Hack-preventing requires constant vigilance, and a time will come for every game in which the invigilators will just get fed up and move on.
