Hell yeah, mean green steam machines. Here's some music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTIh3T9RHIc

I pretty much agree, but I agree completely with the bolded part :)

"If you don't like it, don't buy it" only works as long as who your buying from would actually notice. The free market idea is bullshit like that. So long as there are people buying a product in significant numbers there's not going to be any attitude change. If you want to enact change, you've got to take your fiends, and your friends-friends out of the market.

Boycotting isn't going to work if sales numbers reach expectations.

Unfortunately sexism is live and well in real life, take the newly elected PM of Australia for example, his every interaction with women is awkward, he literally has less women in his staff than the opposition party has ex-PMs. Also take the rhetoric used against our previous female PM, it was all "burn the witch". I could see these insults arising without even a hint of sexism, except for the people who were responsible.

The funny thing for me is that the gaming outcry nicely with a similar outcry in the scientific scepticism and humanist movements, the same kind of ill thought out arguments are being used by some feminists in both. Unfortunately I can't just dismiss the entire concept of feminism because some people are incapable of putting together a straight and logical argument to support their claims.

So in summary; to say that there's no need for feminists, and that feminists are not for equal rights isn't true, some groups of feminists are exactly as bad as you think (see skepchick.org for some examples), others actually do just want a fair go.

Well, I value my doctors opinion more than I do that of my hippy friend that totally has psychic powers. Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but not all opinions are made equal.

Unreal was the third FPS I ever played, after Quake and Quake 2. It was beautiful, even on a 533mhz Celeron with an S3 Trio64. There where lights everywhere of all colours, water and plants, and even reflections (at 7fps). But most frustrating to me where the damn strafing Skaarj. I only ever managed to complete it with god mode on and by using 'allammo'; but that was ok as as weak as the story was, I just had to know how it finished.

I'd play it again, except for some of the infuriating parts, I still think it looks pretty good and there are high-res texture packs available for it.

I just did a quick search on YouTube and found a play-through as recently as 2009, so I might just watch some highlights from that.

But really, I'd love to see the game redeveloped, updated graphics to make the aliens more alien, and a fleshed out story to fit the atmosphere.

Borderlands - Played for 50 minutes, but game crashes so I don't play.

Dues Ex: Human Revolution - I played a fair way into it, but for whatever reason have not finished it.

Grand Theft Auto IV - I've started this game more times than I can count; it's boring, the driving is missing the fun of the earlier games.

Metro 2033 - Seven hours in I ran out of ammo. No option but to stop playing.

Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit - Had a blast for thirteen hours, but really no need to ever start the game again.

Need For Speed: Shift 2 - Built a "Monster Miata", got bored.

RAGE - Played for two hours.

I'd be playing it right now, but the game servers are offline. And of course, the official forums have been offline for over a month now.

I wouldn't trust Atari to plug in a kettle.
