DailyDirt: Game On

from the urls-we-dig-up dept

In the grand scheme of things, video games are still a fairly young medium of art and entertainment, with lots of room for advancement and a lot of aspects we don't fully understand. They are also insanely popular, and changing faster than anyone can fully keep track of. Here are a few recent tidbits from the vibrant world of gaming:

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    If you like Seinfeld and think you'll ever want to use the OR file, download it now, because it's pretty much guaranteed that the copyright holders for Seinfeld will send a takedown notice for it.

    Nightmares -> Action dreams

    That is SO true! I never have nightmares anymore, I do have dreams about monsters and getting chased ect, but it's not scary anymore, it's more action dreams.

    Funny enough, when I get 'weapons' to use against the monsters/aliens, it's always bloody waterpistols. Sure, they work against them, but they are not COOL!

      Whenever I get weapons in my dreams, to deal with some kind of threat, they never work properly. All the bullets are duds, or the gun is disassembled and I can't find all the pieces, or the sword breaks, etc.
