Re: Attitudes about games
Yeah I have had so many people say I just play games. My wifes grandma actually went as far and said that I didn't have a real job, that I was a loser and video games are for kids. Sadly I had a lot of respect for her until that day. Now my wife won't even speak to half of her family because I stuck up for myself against… -

Re: zBrush or Mudbox?
@Dataday you seem to be angry that someone will challenge your fud and software bashing with facts and point out how absurd your comments are. i don't like to see people bashing software, any software, especially when its just flames. i think your last rant was about how everyone is being laid off because of gamestop. now… -
Re: Watch Dogs: Holy shit.
That's not entirely the case though, I think. I've been playing games for many years (like many others) so I know the type of things that interest me and the type of things that don't. I always see people talking bad about pre-orders but I've never understood it. If I see content of a game and I enjoy it, what's wrong with… -

Re: Playstation 3 (Sony conference)
[ QUOTE ] I don't understand the logic. you buy it. you own it. you can't sell it? doesn't that break some kind of fundamental consumer law? re-sale is part of the games value for consumers [/ QUOTE ] I don't think many people here do understand the logic.

Why Gears of War costs $60
[ QUOTE ] Forbes is running a neat little feature right now called "Why Gears of War Costs $60". It's a reasonable enough question, really -- and there's pie charts! What more could you want from the Internet? Getting the straight dope on game development costs is, of course, difficult. Gamers know that prices have gone up… -
Re: The industry Is collapsing, what are your thoughts?
WAKE UP PEOPLE. This is more than the typical "trim the fat" scenario. Not only are there a lot more layoffs and studio closings - probably the most since the video game crash in the '80's - but the AAA boxed game model is a dinosaur in its death throes. I think every one of you who works for a third-party studio or a big… -
Re: Looking for a list of good, accredated collage
