Here I was hoping that they would lay the series to rest.
Jolly good show.
I will admit, that did seem a bit fishy, and it could hint towards scores being bought. I still don't consider it proof, which is really what this is all about. I'm not going accuse someone of something so corrupt with no evidence at all. Call of Duty they do give good scores to, but with Madden, every Madden game until this year has been called out on rehasing the same material, getting lower scores, and the reason why it got a good score this year was because they really did change a lot by adding a new physics system and created a new "connected careers" mode. People are saying it's good, so it could just be good this year. As far as Call of Duty, what's wrong with giving Call of Duty games good scores? Like you said when replying to Myst, reviews are essentially writer's opinions. I rarely play a different genre of game outside of RPG and Strategy, but I actually found Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops to be pretty fun. Valve basically makes a new IP and then "rehashes" it over and over again as seen with Counter Strike, Left 4 Dead and even DOTA2 being too close of just a remake of the original. Nintendo does the same thing with Pokemon. It's just good business when you find something that is successful, you keeping making that thing until it's time to move on. But don't you think that maybe Kotaku, RPS, and BT all their own agendas as well? Just because they aren't getting paid off by a publisher, doesn't mean that it's not possible that they change their scores based on other factors, their fan base being the biggest factor. The IGN fan base is different from the RPS fanbase, which is different than Kotaku, etc. Each site needs to stay in business, which means they need to have a strong fan base, and have an overall "theme" to attract more people of the same fanbase. Like I said, I'm not going to accuse anyone of changing scores, but if one site can do it for money, than so can another site. IGN is all about big blockbuster AAA titles, and RPS is all about the hardcore PC gaming crowd. So of course they're going to hire journalists who are fans of those particular things.
I lost power for a grand total of three seconds.
I have to wait a month so I can pirate it, find out that it's another unoptimized piece of **** and then wait for it to go on sale.
Gangam Style is popular because it's catchy. Those other things you mentioned are popular because they're great compositions. That's why the first one gets old fast.
It really can though. It's so played out now that I almost cringe every time someone does the dance. People kill things fast.
Where's FEMA, huh? Barack Obama doesn't care about white people.
Buy me Assassin's Creed 3 on Windows PC.
I gotta admit, this is a pretty damn good looking game. Spoiler
Nothing really. Just training for college and being lazy overall. How is school going?
It's okay I guess. You?
I'm just here for the... Wait why am I here again?
Was it any good? I'm sorta playing it right now but I keep getting distracted by The Witcher 2.
I wasn't a real big fan of the song, but it did get me really pumped for the game. It's really sad that Ubisoft doesn't care about the PC platform as it does about the PS3.

Regardless of what people in your church tell you, it's not wrong to have desire for girls. You're becoming a man, and these thoughts are natural. There are some good things that churches teach that are good for people, and then there are things like this, that go against human nature. I don't mean to offend you or your faith, but once you get older and you do some thinking on your own, you'll start to realize that some of the things churches teach may be a little silly. About it being your friend's girlfriend, it's just a dream, and hey even then, I've wanted to bang my friend's girlfriends before too. I would never do it, but if you find someone attractive, there's nothing you can really do about it. To be honest, it's not a good idea to talk to anyone about this. Not your friend, not the girl, no parties involved. It will just make things awkward. Telling this girl that you were avoiding her because you had a dream about her could ruin your reputation at school if they end up betraying you and tell people. So don't sweat it, man.
What we're seeing on the left are probably just glamour shots at a very high resolution on a high end PC. The game will probably look very similar to GTA IV when it comes to rendering, just the aesthetics will be different.
