Comment Just another excuse to waste our tax dollars (Score 1) 66

How many programs must there be? Itâ(TM)s an obscenity. If people canâ(TM)t recognize the multitude of âoeinitiativesâ and âoeprogramsâ implemented for this type of crap⦠Just another way of stealing money from us. If the testimonies of people from all walks of life and all security privileges are just going to be chalked up as the testimonies of the mentally ill, not only is our government robbing us blind, but gaslighting millions of people.

What Spoils a Game For You? 214

MTV's Multiplayer Blog is running an interesting piece about what constitutes a spoiler in video games. The interactivity of a video games, argues the author, often makes it necessary to spoil or reveal at least general characteristics of a game during a review or other informative article. He says, "I believe that writing about games is overly careful. I believe that game scripts, game plots and game endings have been given a pass because critics tend to avoid them or address them with the most ginger touch. I'd at least like the discussion about spoilers to cease being so binary. There is room between avoiding mentioning a plot event and reporting its main details. There is value to addressing anything and everything that is most interesting in a game, and value in doing it with words that express meaning rather than those designed to mask it." So, what do you consider a spoiler for a video game, and how do they affect your enjoyment of the game?
