I think RealID is a great idea, KUDOS to Blizzard for implementing it in the way they did.

If it was any other company no one would give a shit, but Blizzard being Blizzard everyone is behaving like they are fucking with some God Given or Constitutional rights....

People are over-reacting to this in a big way...everyone needs to just chill a bit.

Yeah... it says, "posting on the official Blizzard forums is completely optional." Not, "Posting on the official Blizzard forums with your RealID is completely optional."

agpc, can I ask, why is it you think an employer may not employ you due to playing computer games? In what field could this be a danger? (and if it is, and you are a gamer, you should not be doing it.)

Have you worked in the corporate world? Hiring usually comes down to a hiring manager, and they have all sorts of pet peeves. There are many folks in hiring positions who look down on video gamers because they perceive video games to be a waste of time, and therefore assume those who play them will waste time at work. I have had meetings with people who laugh about employees that play games like world of warcraft. Jokes about wizard hats and the like.

I'd like to know who the people are that want to wear the heavy 3d glasses tethered to a cord, can actually wear this and play a game for more than 10min and not have the cord pissing them off and not have their eyes bothering them.

I tried 3D Resident Evil 5 at PAX last year, after a few minutes I was done and had zero interest in ever playing 3D games.

Saying the first Kane & Lynch "was nearly impossible to play online due to GFWL's crappiness," they asked IO Interactive's Kim Krogh if they would have similar problems with the sequel, and were told: "No, for that reason. We’re using Steamworks."

That sort of cut through the bullshit type of response should be rewarded

Blue, it's way past due to ban this child, Diabolus in Musica. He's obviously far too young and far too immature to have a discussion with the adults around here. Just look at this kid's post history. All he does is troll and flame, it's just tiresome. Since he's incapable of behaving, it's time to send him out of the room permanently.

Um yeah actually no you said some pretty stupid shit there brah. Now you want to blame your stupidity on me. You're suspect. Way to troll post then whine like a bitch when someone calls you out on your stupid comments. Way to go. Also like how you speak "about" me, instead of "to" me. Just like a little kid would.

But, do run to your "mommy" (in this case Blue), and "tell on me", just like a little bitch. Nobody likes a rat. That's what you are. A tattle-tale. And you call me "young and immature"? lol. You can't even take a couple harsh comments. Wow, what a litle bitch you are brah, seriously. You call me "immature" then handle this whole situation in a very immature way. Pot kettle black buddy.

"Mommy!! He called me a bad name!!!"

Way to say some way stupid shit then not man up to it. Were you coddled as a child? From this point forward ban EVERYONE that doesn't agree with Cutter. It's so so sad to sit here and watch him throw a little hissy fit the second someone doesn't agree with him.

It fit very well in the context of the game but it's hardly good "listening" music.

I didn't realize that some music was made for listening while other music is... not?

Why are gamers so intensely concerned, anyway, that games be defined as art? Bobby Fischer, Michael Jordan and Dick Butkus never said they thought their games were an art form. Nor did Shi Hua Chen, winner of the $500,000 World Series of Mah Jong in 2009. Why aren't gamers content to play their games and simply enjoy themselves? They have my blessing, not that they care.

Do they require validation? In defending their gaming against parents, spouses, children, partners, co-workers or other critics, do they want to be able to look up from the screen and explain, "I'm studying a great form of art?" Then let them say it, if it makes them happy.
