Anyone with a little time on their hands, go and read this Gamers' Manifesto.

The writer brings to light where games are currently heading and makes some very good points along the way. It's also very funny, full of those "haha, yeah I hate that, too" moments.

One of my favorite quotes:

Quote:
"Marine, we need you to head to the depths of the compound to rescue a scientist that is being held hostage by Satan and his manyfold minions. Here's your pistol and eight rounds of ammunition. Good luck."

A must-read, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Happy

@ Parasight the quote about the Marine and the etc.....made me crack up with laughter, so Ironic. Reminds me of the troops that have been sent to Iraq. Ok Soldier here is your pistol and your hat, You must wear it at all times. Sad
Oh, And I forgot to add you may be requested to share your armour from time to time Crying

I am sorry I have gone off subject.
:oops: Sorry Admin
lol
