    I just re-read it, to make sure I hadn't missed something. The point I was making was not about Twitter, but about the strange notion that any worthwhile idea must be expressible in a sentence; which is plain nonsense.

    Thanks for the note. Demigod link is fixed.

    We monitor these comments threads fairly carefully, and, in order to sustain a forum for intelligent debate, we delete the most stupid or inane submissions.

    After many years as a games journalist, I've become accustomed to accusations of platform-bias (from all 'sides'). It's of no great concern, lacking foundation, evidence or even motive.

    Almost always, the bias thing falls under our rubric of 'moronic - therefore delete'. However, I'm letting them stand here because I fear that if we don't we'll be accused of a cover-up. Anyway, every now and again. I suppose it's a debate worth having. (Perhaps now might be a good time to point out, for example, that only last month, we gave a PlayStation 3 game a maximum score.)

    I have deleted some comments, due to their use of vile language likely to offend decent human beings. As a rule, if you must insist on using words like 'retard' and 'gay' as insults, you can expect to be deleted.

    Thanks for your notes about the pics. The author of this piece did not post the pics. They have been changed.

    I have deleted the comments from Alex. We will not tolerate abusive language on this site.

  • A new game about rape is merely a harbinger for a new market for sexual interactive fantasies, often depicting criminal brutality. Is the game industry ready to cope with the dark-side of entertainment?

    Most games are simulations of real-life experiences; glamorous and exciting fantasies of activities that are denied to us in real-life, whether that be running an NFL franchise or blowing off some dude's head.

Hi Collin!

Did you guys ever get around to resolving that problem with me not being able to track you?? I've been away from my EDGE Blog for a few months, but now that I'm starting to get back into things, I wanted to see if you guys ever did figure it out. I just checked it, and I still can't track you... :^(

Let me know!

Thanks!

Hi Colin!

Thanks for the tip about how to track users, and for your feedback about the blog. I will definitely try to write something up about the show tonight. :^)

Thanks,

Hey Colin, I hope you can get Jeremy to come back to Game Theory again so you can grill him on Qore, I bought that thing after listening to you guys hype it up, what a rip off! What was he talking about with the interactive videos? that thing was about as advanced as an Xbox 1 demo disc, only without the demos!
