Punishing The Internet for Sharing
Why make millions on your video game when you could be making HUNDREDS on frivolous copyright claims?
Bad and Wrong Music Lessons
A music lesson for people who know nothing about music, from someone who barely knows anything about music.
Shamus Plays WOW
Ever wondered what's in all those quest boxes you've never bothered to read? Get ready: They're more insane than you might expect.
How I Plan To Rule This Dumb Industry
Here is how I'd conquer the game-publishing business. (Hint: NOT by copying EA, 2K, Activision, Take-Two, or Ubisoft.)
Please Help I Can’t Stop Playing Cities: Skylines
What makes this borderline indie title so much better than the AAA juggernauts that came before?

Reading the initial comments at the Escapist, I think you are at the top of a few more Death List, Shamus :-)
The Escapist comments are a cesspool. Every once in a while I click on one of their forum topics or comment threads and immediately regret it.
There are gems in the cesspool, but it takes time and guts to fish them out.
Good thing we can comment and discuss Shamus’s articles here.
I did not find that the comments on that particular topic were that bad.
Nor I. If you want a cess-pool of comments, check out the YouTube community.
I don’t read any of their comment threads anymore.
Aww yeah. Playin’ it classy.
Hmm now you’ve made me wonder what female head on male torso shepard looks like. And typing that sentence has made me wonder what bioware would make of a romance scene between those two characters. Shamus, why do you do this to me…
In the immortal words of M. Bison: “YES! YES!“
Well, you know how it is, the best scientists demand some artistic leway in their work. :)
(It did take me looking at the strip a couple of times to figure out exactly what the change was, though.)
Actually, I lay it all at the feet of the bean counters. Science isnt cheap, and the first thing that always gets cut when you’re trying to save money is testing. Looks like the acceptance test got cut a little short.
Funny stuff.
I think it’s a great idea for ME3.
They can claim it’s the result of radiation exposure, caused by spending too much time with the planet scanner…
So now Shepard wouldn’t need Liara or Thane or whoever to get through the sex scen-NO BAD BAD DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT EWW
I wouldn’t envy Shepard – or whoever man, for that matter – that’s struck by this cruel fate =)
Okay, Shamus, you’ve hit another “made me burst out laughing” spot. XD
Oh man.
See, the hilarious thing here is? I got that bug playing ME1 yesterday. Seriously. On Noveria, all the male scientists got given female torsos. Seems like that bioweapon they were working on had unintended side effects.
I reinstalled the game on Xbox from the disc. We’ll see if that fixes the bug.
That of course works the other way around. :D
