I hope you never get double-teamed in basketball. Talk about griefing.

Please learn the difference between a dissenting opinion and a troll before you moderate.
Generally anything that is physically safe and prevents you from accomplishing your goal would be something acceptable in my books. The griefers on online games I'm talking about usually sacrifice the goals of the game to ensure that you can't participate.
I guess you can grief in the real world except there people tend to frown on the behaviour. And since the griefer can see the negative attention they can be less likely to continue it.

Someday, I'll have a real sig.
Maybe it was just me, but did anyone else see the headline and think, "wow, they're making a MMORPG for Dreamcast??!?!?!?"

Put the word "Sony" on the front of the box.
Seriously, they've done such a bad job with their MMOs that they should seriously think about changing their name. The only way they could sell fewer games would be to sell them with free anthrax.
Pssst. See that door that leads "outside"? Use it.
...pause for laughter...
Of course I know what you really mean by that, but still. I'm not necessarily looking forward to games like that because I'm not a fan of the whole "sandbox" style of gameplay which has become so prevalent in the recent years. To me, games are about the story, about becoming the character and living vicariously through them. GTA3+ did this well, by giving a storyline but still providing the ability to just cruise around
What really drew me to your comment was the mention of APB. It conjured up memories of one of my favorite old-school arcade games, coincidentally also called APB. You're a cop in a cop car, munching donuts for extra time and using the siren to pull over litterbugs, pot smokers, and "boss" criminals. It was incredibly fun.
