Players requested the chance to submit music for Dreamfall. Then the contest was opened up to more people, and it caused a shitstorm. Kind of sad, in my opinion. I get that asking people to work for free is shitty, but I don't really think that was the case here. I talked to Tornquist myself and it was pretty clear… Read more
You could argue they were "paying" the musician with exposure and getting their work featured in a game. If I had a choice between getting my work featured in a big game or never selling it ever (which lets face it, is the reality of this situation for most of these fans), why the hell not?

See, I've never been concerned with labels. If people don't consider video games art, fine. Not sports, fine.

E-sports are skill-based challenges that rely heavily on reflex and physical dexterity. You can certainly make the argument that those aren't sports, but then you'd have to say the same about games like golf, air rifle shooting, bowling, etc. Otherwise the definition is inconsistent. Read more

Which will come out first; Shadow of the Colossus movie, or The Last Guardian? Read more

Me and 4 other friends would build entire 10 man raiding groups from scratch in WoW by inviting random pugs to come with us on raids. It was actually a great way to meet new people and make more friends. If Blizzard never provided some… Read more
do these raids require the teammates be on your friendlist or can I just jump on global chat and make request for a team? Read more
I may duck this game now. I like fun shooters that have level options, but if its getting into endgame raid content it may not be for me. I played enough WOW to last a lifetime and I like games with endings now :) Read more
of course after you've played enough, your brain kinda just learns when to expect certain cards to come out based on who you're playing against, what turn, and what has been played. Read more
