Part of that was also because the graphics literally made it difficult to tell just what was happening. I played a lot of Sim Copter, and I didn't realize I was looking at gay men in thongs kissing each other until I read about it later on. They just kind of looked like blobs.
There's an alliance mode in DEFCON, where everyone starts on the same team at first, and the team gradually falls apart as players attack each. Near the end of the game, strong, stable allies tend to launch nukes at allies that they consider weaker, destroying them utterly.
I just thought that would be relevant for this particualar thread.
That is what worries Mr. Sharma's wife, Damaris, 21, who has no time for the Internet as she raises the couple's 1-year-old daughter, Bellamarie.
"I hate computers," she said. "I think they're the devil."
Sorry. I just thought that was funny, and had to post it.
I was wondering when we would see demo kiosks in the US. Seems like something they should have implemented a long time ago... Ah well, better late than never.
...This is a joke, right? Is there another Angband game that I'm not aware of, because the only Angband I know is a bit different from Diablo. That's the joke, right? Right?
Wrong. You play a girl because you want to enjoy the sense of freedom offered by totally escaping your mundane, real world existance, acting as something that you have never been. And perhaps because you think girls kick more ass.
You know, I was one of the first people on Neopets, way back before anyone in the world seemed to know about them. There weren't really any ads at that point, there were far fewer pets, and the pets they had were often a lot stranger. The one thing that had me interested was an early plan to explore and interact with some sort of real-time map, sort of like an MMO. Your pet would be able to move around on this map, learn skills... The concept, even at that point, was vague.
They never did get that feature up, and thus I quickly lost interest.

Wasn't this the plot of one of the Final Fantasy games?
Nintendo fans report feeling "alright" about the current turn of events. As one astutely commented, "Meh."

Lost Magic didn't seem all that bad. I never played it, but it seemed alright... And it got average to good scores. What are you talking about?
How long before we get a fanboy war between Wikipedians and, uh... Citizendoids?

I'm still not really getting this game, to be honest. Can anyone better explain?
What are you going to do if Neo-Victorianism is in vogue?
It's an anarcho-syndicalist commune, you insensitive clod.
Only if you do it in anger. And the baby is being kind of a dick.
Do these people not know of the risks that they're taking? Look at what happened to The Scorpion! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scorpion
Sort of like those daemonic videogames that turn ordinary teens into one-man WMDs.

The secret is that they want everyone to hate the official name. That way, people will just call it a "Nintendo".
And just look at how much Apple is leaving Microsoft in the dust!
I kid, I kid.

I love how it's not all on one page, so I can't just skim through the list.

That ah-say that's a joke son.
How about Metroid Prime: Hunters for the DS? Isn't that fairly high-profile, what with the unique control method and online play?
Source?

Can I hear a "Hell Yea!" for a massively multiplayer Zelda?
No, you cannot. Go shoot yourself now.

I would have read that, but my rampant ADD made it too hard. And my tapered fat fingers make it far too difficult to type out a more suitable reply.
