OK, so I guess most people signing up for the yearly subscription thinks the T-shirt is cool, and I don't necessarily disagree, but if you, like me, live outside of the US, maybe there should be an option to say 'no, I don't want to pay the extra $10 for the T-shirt, but I want the other stuff." For me, that's the only reason I haven't signed up for a subscription yet. I want to go for a full y...

What I've seen so far of Medal of Honor looks really good, and I've always been kind of a fan of the series (I'm such a sucker for Steven Spielberg ), but there are things that do look a bit worrying. What it comes down to is basically the fact that DICE is heavily involved in the creation of the game, leading to the game looking more like a Bad Company 2 port than its own game. I'm not sure ho...

I'm not sure how long this word document with the unfinished article for something on this site, which still needs a good write up, has been sitting here. I guess I should finish it some day.

I just lost almost an hours work I had done on a big nice article for a game. I know I should have made the edit in Word, but I didn't. This sucks.

It's a bit confusing when stuff like the fan-made remakes of King's Quest I & II are mixed in with other games on the franchise pages.

So maybe it's me, but shouldn't a blurb be worth more than one point? I think it's harder to come up with a good description of a game--in no more than 50 words no less--than to capture screenshots. People in general are probably more interested in screenshots tho, so I guess that's why they are worth more. I haven't ventured a lot into the forums either, so maybe there's a good explanation there.

OK, so I now there have been more submissions to Giant Bomb than they had anticipated, and I know that they're working hard. This is not a post to complain, but I felt I had to write something about the time it takes for submissions to be approved. As the title of this post says, I have submissions that have been pending for almost four and a half days at the time of this post. That may not be...
