    Parents Deemed Wholly Responsible for Kids Playing Violent Video Games

    Microplay West. 3 or 4 years after he closed up, he ended up working with my wife.

    Parents Deemed Wholly Responsible for Kids Playing Violent Video Games

    It's up to each store as far as I know. A friend of mine used to run a game store and he was very tight with what he sold and to who. He lost a few sales but he did everything by the book, just like I said above. I miss that place. *sniff*

    Major Success on Steam vs. Lackluster Success on Xbox Live Indie Games

    The problem with having a game on XBL is that it's Microsoft looking out for Microsoft and that's it. If hiding a $3 indie game means that someone sees something Microsoft related first and drops their money there instead, it's a win for Microsoft. That's my take on it anyway. It's almost...

    Fake Apple Stores that Look Like the Real Thing

    Well, that's an eye opener. I guess I always thought that knock offs are sold in dark alleys or on street corners from a shady looking dude in a dirty trench coat. Pull that stuff here and it's jail time, bub!

    Team Fortress 2 Releases The 'Uber' Update; Becomes Free to Play

    A friend of mine said the game was terrible but then again he has sunk countless hours into Terreria. WTF? Downloading it now.

    No Need for 'Snooty' Gamers, Says Carmack

    I might rage quit after Rob kills me with a knife 5 times in a row but I don't hate Call of Duty. Anybody can bash a game but very few can appreciate one for what it is unless, you know, it's a complete stinker. I've used this analogy before but here it goes again - Call of Duty is like an...

    Intel Unveils Sandy Bridge E Processors

    I'd bank on Intel waiting until the launch of Ivy Bridge before we see 8 core chips but, as Jamie mentioned, there's the 3990X. Based on the 3960X, what does Intel have left to increase unless they go decide to launch a chip with a higher nominal and Turbo Boost increased speed.

    BF3 Min & Rec Specs released from Gamestop

    Ivy Bridge may drive Sandy Bridge prices down so stay tuned. The only problem is, IB won't be out until at least Q1 2012 so I'm biting the bullet, going SB and will look at IB when it launches since they will use the same socket.

    Parents Deemed Wholly Responsible for Kids Playing Violent Video Games

    Think of it as a K.Y.A. issue. Nobody wants to be a scapegoat for something like this.

    Parents Deemed Wholly Responsible for Kids Playing Violent Video Games

    First off, a parent's say is always final. If they say that a 13 year old can play a game rated M, then that's fine. Parents are, in the end, ultimately responsible for the upbringing of the child. Second, you're shitting me, right? What about the parents who don't know enough about games in...

    Rosewill Blackhawk Mid-Tower Chassis Review

    Hey iSkout: A 240mm radiator is no-go on the top of this case I'm afraid. The top cover can be removed but there's not enough room a fan to fit under it unless you were to use a thin 15mm fan but that would pretty much negate any cooling bonuses of a radiator since they just cannot push enough...

    Sinking 773 Hours Into a Nintendo DS Game? It's Been Done

    With that many hours into PSO, I'm surprised you didn't get PK'ed like I did. Some douche joins the game, does whatever his GameShark will allow, my system locks up, reboot and my end level force with pimp gear is replaced by a level 7 with crap. I'm not sure if they got my character or not...

    Sinking 773 Hours Into a Nintendo DS Game? It's Been Done

    Lord of the Rings Online ate up about 4 hours a day before my son was born. About 3 or 4 months after his birth I canceled my membership and resigned as an officer in the kinship I belonged to. My playing style is all about raiding "end game" content and there simply is not enough time to do...

    Windows 7 Has Sold 400 Million Licenses Since Launch

    Imagine this paired up with a Sandy Bridge (or Ivy Bridge!!!) processor, 8GB of DDR3 and a 120GB solid state drive. Gaming laptop, what?
