"While I realise that girls smell, you would do well to stop whinging for a second and actually play one of the Nancy Drew games."

"@Pezdispenser: I find that list more depressing, as it confirms the myth that PC gamers have the imagination and flexibility of a dead cock. Personally, my favourite toplists are the ones at Gamersgate."

"Sorry, gameternet, but you can't complain about the death of the adventure genre and complain when an adventure game tops the charts."

"Gotta say, I'm not happy about being on the same side of the fence as a lot of the wankers in this comments thread. Why do you hate the high road so much?"

"@RTW: It doesn't matter where it originates."

frostcircus commented on Res 5 Producer Tries To Close The Book On Racism Claims

"@teamr: That example's going a bit far, but it's the same ballpark. My analogy: Imagine a game poster that showed a gun-wielding teenager in a trenchcoat, with the frontage of a school in the background."

frostcircus commented on Res 5 Producer Tries To Close The Book On Racism Claims

"Incidentally, about an hour ago I was in a gamestore and overheard a customer ask when it was coming out, and say (quote - and I'm not making this up): "I saw a clip, and it just looks brilliant, you've got all these Africans running at you the whole time and you're gunning them down." The clerk turned very pale, but handled it pretty well, explaining that they were infected by parasites, and were like zombies. But even though it took a different angle, that conversation sums up what this issue was actually about."

frostcircus commented on Res 5 Producer Tries To Close The Book On Racism Claims

"They didn't say RE5 was racist, they said the screenshots/clips were racially insensitive, and the gulf between these two statements is so immense that oh fuck it I give up, please continue your incensed rants"

"@wild homes got the wrong bloke!: But like you say, Uncharted has already upped the realism ante for this type of game - why have another franchise cover the exact same ground?"
