Fuck me, I wish these people had enough confidence that they were saying something interesting to stop trying to excite us with frenetic cinematography.

Stewart Lee did it better.

I find it fascinating that EA believe that a decent number people buy games on the strength of 'DICE', rather than 'MoH' or 'CoD'.
(I'm not saying they're necessarily wrong but it's not what I would...

I'd echo the recommendation for Handbrake.

A large part of the problem is, I suppose, making the 'failure' state fun or at least interesting rather than game over.
Making the new states enjoyable to continue with, even if they're smaller or...

What's that machine like, spec-wise?

I wonder if sometimes the former undermines the latter.

Which I suppose is almost an attack on games. I think there's certainly a tension in the medium.

I'm still not sure how they might have done that. I think the narrative too heavily relies on the outcome for Dubai being both inevitable and, in part, precipitated by Walker's actions.


Hmm. Do...

The game sort of does give you that choice, if you're prepared to stop the game at that point.
I did feel that there were other points in the game where - thanks in large part to Lugo sticking his...

I'd suggest that - even considering the best case of proximal VOIP working - that communicating is very much more difficult in the game than shooting. Physical expressiveness is broadly limited to...

What's Wings of Prey like? I tend towards the arcade in my pilot skills, so a game that agrees with that...

You don't have to take your method for determining "is this art?" and end up at Tolstoy's position of using it as a method of comparing works of art in any way.

I would suggest a much bigger...

There's a certainly a noticeable extent to which the levels feel designed around the game. The original wasn't free of this, but I don't think it felt so bad - I'm very careful phrase that to include...

I'm not denying that there's a rabid following, perhaps more undeserved than most in Introversion's case. But my suspicion is that Subversion never got as far as any kind of community beta-test. It...

The thing is, I'm not even sure that it got that playable. I'm not really sure that prior to around mid-2010 there was anything that could've really been given to community testers, at least not in...

I'm not convinced that's the case, Kadayi. Introversion put remarkably little out about their work on the game - showing of some interesting systems, but not much more. Why do you believe it to be...

! Well, quite.

But is it here? Is that what Morel is saying about his wife? On each occasion, she's simply repudiating him for his drunkness, she's not displaying any sexual aggression.

I would not disagree with...

My apologies.

I'm genuinely interested what you think Morel is saying to his wife in the second example.

For me, it's quite obvious that the only way to really get at why 'bitch' or 'bastard' is insulting, is...

I think that's a possibly optimistic but certainly rather narrow, view of humour. I mean there's no shortage of people who do find laughing at otherness funny.

Nevertheless, in the context of...

Atarra, I'm not arguing that it's not an insult, nor that it's not a very unpleasant one, nor even that there are issues surrounding gender in its use. I think there's perhaps a suggestion that...

Ok, well, let's have a look at one of the books used in the OED citations for 'bitch'. Sons and Lovers, written in 1913. The dialogues I'll quote presumbly reflect D.H. Lawrence's experiences of its...

Right, but the term under discussion was 'bitch'. Which has shifted in meaning, at least in British English, and certainly no longer denotes a promiscuous woman and I don't think connotes it.

I'm...

I think that you're right about 'bitch' not really being a gender-loaded epithet over here (by and large), but its use in the United States makes it more problematic; it's precisely because of the...
