The Obama Facade in Democrat JoeUser Forums

The Obama Facade is Obama's political opinions. He is the most liberal senator, he has the least experience possible to get far, he has never made an important decision, and, more importantly, he tries to hide his position. He abstains from voting to try to win opinions. He avoids controversy, though he still has more than he can handle. He insists that people "respect" him and his wife, while, to tell you the truth, he can't even take simple name-calling tha

Dummy. What a dummy. How does somebody not know that 911 is for an emergency, not your own (or somebody else's) inconsequential incompetence?

[quote]I think the demo did not do it any justice since it completely left out any character customization or abilities. It really poorly explained the cybernetic upgrades and the humanity meter. Also the engineering abilities were completely missing. [/quote] Well, I'll give it that much. It's probably not as bad in the full version, but

Game Review- Dogfight in PC Gaming JoeUser Forums

Dogfight is a 2d combat flight simulator. It's not to be confused with the Kuma Reality game with a similar title. It's a fun enough game, with splitscreen capabilities. It takes place in pretty much any setting you could want, with early flight to relatively recent planes, and even Star Wars vessels (at least in the version I have). It's got a decent amount of realism for a 2d game, and it's only real flaw is that it's a bit glitchy at times. I give it four @'s, and since it's free, and spli

The reason bad things happen in Religion JoeUser Forums

Many people have asked why bad things happen. They ask what they did to deserve it, and they may become bitter or angry at God, the world, life, or other people. And, to tell you the truth, they're justified. But, they do not understand how a "loving" God would let them suffer. I present a number of reasons why bad things happen. First, we have free will. This is our greatest loss, for it leads to all our suffering. In other words, bad things happen, often, b

Game Review: Crossfire in MMORPG JoeUser Forums

Crossfire is an open-source MMORPG. It can be played on almost any platform (Java, Open Source, platform-specific compiles). It's downside? It's hard to learn. "apply" uses everything, and it can be a little daunting, and limiting, to have one interaction with most everything. However, once you get past the limited interactions and minor confusion, it's a fun game. It plays a lot like a roguelike without key-command binds, though you could, if you really wanted to, make your own binds

[quote]Pro tip: don't try and play cutting edge games on a laptop, and then class that as having played the game as it was intended.[/quote] I have another couputer I use when I need a heavier system. I saw it as it was intended, so don't worry. I'm merely giving it flak for its high system req's. I downloaded the Crusader: No Regret demo, just for kicks, and I prefered it. And I didn't get very far. I need to read the readme before try two.

Space Siege Demo Review in PC Gaming JoeUser Forums

Space Siege is the sucessor to Dungeon Siege, a wonderful game. But does it live up to it's predecessor's glory? Nope. Not at all. It reminds me of one of those arcade-style games that have the 60-minute demo that nobody buys because they're tired of it before they get through it, with more lag. Seriously, on minimum settings, I got about 3 FPS on my laptop. I might contemplate it on GameTap, or if I had a better computer, but it falls in the middle ground of casual and com

Cortex Command Review in Action JoeUser Forums

Cortex Command is an awesome game. I'll say it straight out. It's a platform action-strategy game with mod support and resource management. I'll let some screenshots speak more about it's style, and I'll just give a general description. It's fast, frenetic, and strategic, with resource gathering and management (gold), and a lot of action. It's a fun game, and it recieves a Teen rating for Medium Violence on the VCGW rating system. It's fun like all heck, though, and physics based. It c

What Phobias do you have? in Misc JoeUser Forums

What phobias do you have? I fall victim to a blend of phobias, none of which are terribly pleasant (fortunately, nor fairly common, save nyctophobia). Tell me if I'm misclassifing any of these. Also, none of them affect me in a virtual environment. Acrophobia- Fear of heights. 12 feet is about how much it takes to trigger it. I will stay far away from any edges that could cause falling (even railing that doesn't go up to my chest). Aviophobia- Fear of flying. Not too bad

Too Human Demo Review in XBOX JoeUser Forums

Too Human is a science-fiction action RPG coming out in August, set in an alternate history with Norse mythological overtones. Basically, the "gods" of the Norse pantheon are super-soldiers, waging a war against a robot horde. Over time, robots became "monsters", and you are fighting for the last hope of humanity. The game takes place in a realistic setting, and in the demo level you see a mixture of clean utopia and ruins. Good graphics, nice feel, looks nice together.
