I have to disagree. Frosty 2 is about at 2k posts and he's been here in the quietest three years of the CIC. In my case I don't have 2k posts because the majority of the time I have nothing intelligent to say, and manage to keep all that stupid to myself as much as possible. Otherwise I'd...

Maniac went from being a big-name test pilot sitting on the newest and hottest hardware to being another pilot on the Victory. Blair went from being a nobody traitor to another pilot on the Concordia to being a spec-ops pilot to being the Wing Commander of the Victory. So, it's possible...

Generally what was in the game is the correct info. Manual information was typically incorrect as they were working with pre-release (beta or even alpha) information.

You're looking at it from too much of a technical perspective. It's a storytelling thing. Let's say Jazz or Angel die on the first mission you have them. It uncomplicates things to remove the overly random factors from the game so then the developers can focus on bigger things, such as...

I'm talking strictly on its combat performance, not how it performs in the cutscenes and plot. It just felt like a regunned Rapier strapped onto a nuke.

That is so awesome! The game perfectly replicates interacting with a grammar book. Or wait... maybe it is a grammar book.

The Morningstar didn't feel like the experimental next-gen superiority fighter the game was telling me it was. This is of course with the hindsight of having flown the Excalibur, which absolutely screamed in combat. The Dragon's problem was while it had a cloak and flashpacks and that...

The same could be said for landing on the moon. Frankly it's a really bizarre way to downplay progress to make someone else not sound like an idiot. He called it and he was wrong. The proper way to handle that is to say 'he's only human' rather than propping him up as some gaming Nostradamus.

I was just thinking the other day how the Bad Company 2 single player was JUST LIKE Wolfenstein 3D in every way, from narrative to gameplay. Or how the Resident Evil 5 coop experience was totally not at all even one step above Duke Nukem 3D coop. Nope. Gaming hasn't gone anywhere.

First we have the deathmatch element. Any competitive element in a video game will give rise to aggression. That's just how it goes. Second is the target audience. All video games have one. They know exactly who they're selling to and go full bore at those people. In the HALO lan groups...

Whaaaaa? If the parents were in control they wouldn't need a law, would they?

Everything sucks! The only things that don't suck are vacuums.

WC3 weren't just the best because of their fidelity, but also because they were very modest in how much they cluttered the view. The Prophecy/SO struts, however, actually made me wish for just a plain HUD like WC4's. They didn't serve any purpose other than to try to convince me that Casey...

...too dark. :D

It's not surprising at all. The designers wanted the game to be fun and exciting as well as run on hardware currently available (even if top-end). That meant that capital ships of both sides had to be close to helpless. In the novels, where there's no concern about combat being a...

*sigh* The dude got a cool package from the CIC staff. Can we not stupid it up? Just once? Anyway, congratulations man. Always fun to get surprise mail.

It was my understanding that character was more a representative figurehead used to voice the feelings of Confed as a whole rather than an individual villain. To the best of my memory the book explained that people were tired to the bone of a war with no sign of victory in sight. They wanted...

Holy shit. Pack up your self-righteous attitude and go back to school. And don't do drugs.

He's damn near an entire month late in rising to the cause. They probably don't even let him into the cult compound because he's such a faithless slacker.
