No it means that's the day we get the patch.

Really?...[VGS] How long will they be down? Usually they're down for 2 hours or so.

Nexon is far larger than EA and is worth a lot more.

I'm pretty sure that's a troll page.

At least it's not patch WEEK. Every week's patch week.

http://www.tomsguide.com/us/EA-Nexon-Maple-Story-Star-Wars-Buyout,news-14993.html Please let it be a hostile takeover. A really hostile takeover.

Just as I get bored of BF3 and decide to play Tribes the servers go down for patch day.

Are you one of those people who say they have "street smarts".

I'd rather it continue being one of the best FPS series ever made. STALKER 2 was going to be an amazing game, and the IP is owned by Sergyi Grigorovich. Obviously they couldn't afford the high price he asked for and went bankrupt due to their funding issues.

It seems I forgot the worst one.

ITT: Post games you've had buyer's remorse with. I'll start-

This one really cracked me up, there was more than just Beth trying to buy this IP. If Obsidian or Troika had got the rights (they didn't have enough money to match Beth's) we would have got a proper Fallout game with some of the best designers in the game industry. It would have existed as Van Buren. Have you even played NV? There's prostitutes, child soldiers, a quest involving finding a bunch of specialized prostitutes for clients (a smooth talking guy, a cowgirl ghoul and a sex robot named "Fisto"), people left hanging on crosses, slavers etc. etc.

Laughing at TotalBiscuit's failure on the TGS podcast, if you don't know what you're talking about just don't talk about it. SS2 is far from compatible with Windows 7 and it is NOT available for download from anywhere except a torrent site. It was perfect how he was calling people who voted up SS2 on the GOG wishlist "mainstream" gamers with no taste or knowledge when he was totally in the wrong.

For me it goes- Fallout NV = Fallout 2 > Fallout 1 > Fallout Tactics: BOS (didn't like the combat only focus of this one) > Fallout 3. Originally I like FO3, but after playing NV and the originals I just couldn't stand it. NV is everything FO3 was except far better done (writing, characters, quests, world etc.) and the originals are fantastically created isometric RPGs with so much more depth and role-playing than their FPS counterparts.

Just bought Serious Sam 3 off of Steam for 66% off, only $13. Downloading now.

So you've discovered the answer to nature vs. nurture? Art isn't objectification. Have you ever had female friends? Only if they have shit parents. I don't remember being brainwashed by my parents to have sex with all the females I see.

Welcome to every form of media ever. So what? I already told you that objectification of women is far worse in the music industry. Games aren't going to change until society as a whole changes. Either society or these people - XrBoeMF4FYs

Ya don't say.

Except in those other mediums females are pretty much 50% of the audience, gaming has always been male dominated. Just look at anything with a majority female/male group, people make fun of male nurses and they make fun of female labourers. No one is going to make fun of a female playing the Sims are they? Everyone pretending this only occurs in gaming just pisses me off as it makes all gamers seems misogynistic. This happens everywhere people. Sexualization in games will always occur with games targeted towards males, or are you going to tell me that the music industry isn't ten times as worse despite having a far larger female audience. You are missing the point. You are also naming jobs, I am talking about media. And I am not claiming sexualization(or objectification or sexism, whatever you wanna call it. It all comes down to the same thing) only happens in gaming. What I am claiming is that only in gaming fanatics are commonly specified by their gender showing how bad sexualization actually is. In other media this(sexualization that is) occurs as well but, as you said, those are still pretty evenly divided when it comes to gender. In the gaming industry however we seem to have such an imbalance that being a certain gender actually makes you "special". Edit: Damn you latin words and your plurals Why does it matter whether it happens in an entire medium or just a certain form of that medium? Girl gamers aren't "special" and the only people telling themselves that are either girl gamers themselves or just deluded. Males like females that share their interests, especially ones that shame them such as watching anime or playing video games as it makes themselves feel more self-confident. Also, I have no idea where you're finding a correlation between sexualiztion and gender. Have you even seen a bra shop? That has a 100% female audience yet they're one of the worst offenders with their adverts. Face it, women are objectified in every media, whether it's to appease males or to make females feel inadequate.

Good one Username. I do feel terrible, that this thread even exists. How about we revive the Rage Comic thread and replace all our "the"'s with "le" at the same time. Then you could finally be rid of me.
