t is par for the course to curb-stomp a woman to death in a game. that 's just what Kratos does ...but clearly NOT ok to say bros before hos after r n r nWell it 's certainly not intrinsically less OK to smash the women than the men. Unless ...

Comment In: Violent video games make people violent. But so do pictures of snakes. [Blog - 03/08/2013 - 06:02]

But in my mind, we ...

But in my mind, we are ALL to some degree or another . . . it 's a bit of a cop out r n r nThat 's pretty on the nose IMO. r n r nLikewise all the things that advertising creates demand for are already demanded. Big Mac ...

Comment In: Beyond 'Wither' & Supercompensation in Games [Blog - 03/04/2013 - 06:21]

I found the Farmville design interesting. I can see why everyone talks of it in terms of make the player come back , however it seems to be the only game that needs to do so. My take was that this is the source of its engagement when you decide ...

This: r n r nhttp://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/009023.html r n r nAfter every question, the rules are changed. When you come to the first question, with nothing else to go on, you assume intuitive rule, which means rules from real life an elephant doesn 't fit in a refridgerator. r n r nThe ...

Comment In: PlayStation bets the farm that 'true gamers' are enough to sell its new machine [News - 02/22/2013 - 06:14]

I say they 're trying ...

I say they 're trying to look like they 're talking about more reshinerific graphics while actually talking about a more accessible platform. r n r nLook at the choice of x86 and lots and lots of RAM they 're trying to offer a lot more of a particular kind ...

Comment In: Obama: Let's give more kids the opportunity to make games [News - 02/18/2013 - 07:12]

Not a real problem IMHO. Even if people actually got rid of their PCs, they are all over the place. When I was a teen me and a friend went around the neighborhood garage sales finding old, broken PCs and then reassembled the parts into working ones. You can working ...

Comment In: Realism in Gaming [Blog - 02/16/2013 - 09:41]

I think you 've cast ...

I think you 've cast a wide net in terms of what 's realistic . You 're talking about Super Meat Boy and Final Fantasy. r n r nCertainly any story can have realistic characters and motivations while having fantastical settings. Or even merely relatable characters and motivations who are ...

Comment In: Reactions to a woman’s voice in an FPS game [Blog - 02/08/2013 - 07:06]

Indeed these sorts of communities are self-filtering once they get a certain slant. Halo in particular has had a reputation for years, so players who don 't fit have gone elsewhere. r n r nThat said, Halo is going to be like a lot of other games.

Comment In: 'I think Apple rolls the console guys really easily.' - Gabe Newell [News - 01/30/2013 - 07:05]

@Schweighofer r n r n ...

@Schweighofer r n r n It is not about 2013 or 2014, this is a long-term perspective. r n r nLong-term, latency and the requirement of physically near datacenters to provide the games remains true. r n r nConversely, the needs of games proportional to what consumer-grade hardware can provide ...
