Their history is basically defined by an unbroken string of invasions by armies several times larger than their entire population. By necessity both Koreas have developed kind of a largish cultural boner for strategic warfare.

I admit, even I want to bring about my large vessel to invade that girl's lips.

Am I the only one who thinks this 18+ hullaballo is some kind of petty revenge against Blizzard for the recent betting scandal thing?

Like, it makes no sense, but if they decided to blame Blizzard for shaming them, instead of their own psychotic culture about it...

Betting scandal?

Apparently some coaches and players were fixing games pro games. I'm not clear on the details of who is and is not involved.

"Nearly every top starcraft player in Korea" is a good place to start on who is involved.

Also it goes as far back as 2006.

From what I've heard, all the top players are being investigated, but that's a long way from being guilty.

Ubisoft ditching paper manuals under the guise of being greener.

I'm reminded of those terrible, hole-riddled DVD cases that games like Brutal Legend came in. They say they're doing it for the environment, but they're really just doing it to save money on shipping.

It's fine if they just want to save money (hell, games already come with in-game manuals. They're called tutorials), but I'd rather they just be honest about it than say that they're being environmentally conscious. Makes them look soulless.

Eh, the only deal here is that game companies probably should have started doing this about 10 years ago. I haven't need a manual since I was in elementary school, and annoying tutorial levels or pop up hints are the norm these days.

TA · « **Reply #2114 on:** April 19, 2010, 04:41:53 PM »

I'd kind of prefer having something I can flip to in the middle of a level to remind myself how to do something, as opposed to being forced to save, quit, start a new game, and run the tutorial level until it gets to the move I'm forgetting.

Manuals aren't supposed to teach you how to play the game. They are reference material.

Doom · « **Reply #2115 on:** April 19, 2010, 04:45:18 PM »

So hopefully the in-game manual is a pause and simple menu option away?

As it is, it sounds like DN wants everybody to be cynical because he is cynical, not that they could actually be doing something good.

Disposable Ninja · « **Reply #2116 on:** April 19, 2010, 06:37:12 PM »

Well excuse me for not seeing the environmental incentive in not publishing books.

Joxam · « **Reply #2117 on:** April 19, 2010, 06:51:07 PM »

Wait a second, you know paper is trees, right?

Disposable Ninja · « **Reply #2118 on:** April 19, 2010, 06:54:59 PM »

I... uh

well

I'm going to go kill myself. Later guys.

And plastic is oil! And aluminum is ore!

Basically everything that has ever contained something is somehow fucking the planet. Including you, you ambulant bag of water and feces.
