"Great read. I get this sometimes, and I find the only way to break out of it is to do the following:

1. Acknowledge to yourself that you are having a sleep paralysis episode.

2. Tense every muscle you can, even if you aren't doing this really, only in the dream.

3. Try to flip over or force your real eyelids open.

This usually does it for me these days. But then again I've had sleep paralysis 20+ times, so I recognize it when it comes around. I haven't had that in a year or so now though, and next time I might have forgotten again. It's so incredibly scary, I've had dreams where aliens were in my room and stalking in the shadows and shit, and I only managed to wake up before it was gonna murder me or something.  

The worst one was when I was sick with a very high fever though. I had a combined fever dream and sleep paralysis.. I can't remember that much since it was so insane and horrible, but I was floating above my bed while some satanist priest or something was sacrificing me to the god or the devil or something. Didn't sleep for days after that."

"10 - Sure, they suck, but who cares about pirates?

9 - PC versions are more or less always superior in every single way. I don't see the issue. Bulletstorm runs fine and it's a limitation in UE3, not due to porting, the DRM scheme you linked never happened. DS2 I don't know. Played it through twice and never saw it.

8 - Yes, DRM sucks. For example though, the Ubi DRM wasn't a hassle at all - use a launcher, wait for it to launch, and voila. The service went down due to some very angry haters DDoSing the servers.

7 - What are you on about? Get some technical knowledge, keep your system up to date. Done. 

6 - Now THIS I can agree on, it does suck, and it's extremely common. I would guess it's because the DLC never really sells, but I can't see how it would take that much time to port it.

5 - It sucks. A lot.

4 - Start going to good sites. The one I work for would never do something like this, and neither would any other reputable site. 

3 - Wow, sounds like you had some really awful experiences. I find most people in the PC community to be totally retarded, but that is true for humanity and gamers in general. Personally, I find PC gamers to be slightly more mature then console players. I've never heard someone use the N-word in BFBC2 on PC, a game that I have played for like 200 hours. When I owned a console I didn't go online because being pestered by 12 year olds is not very much fun at all.

2 - It does suck, but give me one more example then Assassin's Creed. And as I said, the DRM wasn't that bad. But, I guess I'm the odd one out since I don't do portable PC-gaming 24/7.

1. Same goes here. EAs PC titles is pretty much always day one for PC, and the only DRM they have is standard Securom/equivalent, as has been the case since the CD-rom. Sometimes you need to login to something once to activate your game. I don't find this much of a hassle.

Dude, it just sounds like you don't like the platform at all. Just stick to the consoles, as the things you hate will never change, except GFWL perhaps dying. "

"'t this usually what happens when people that have been indoctrinated with religion from a young age, get exposed to the world outside their bubble? It was the first article I've read about BioShock 2 that made me want to play it how"

"y well written. Comparing Unreal Tournament to Miles Davis was bold, yet awesome. I've compared my interest for games with my dad's interest in golf, and tried to explain to him that way. My mom is not an issue because she only wants me to be happy and that's it. Dad's been a problem in the past though, as he sort of expected me to grow out of videogames when I was 18 or something. Now, that three years have passed from that point, I think he understands that this is my favorite pasttime and it will continue to be so for very much longer. He's starting to get the golf reference, and since he himself prefers to spend his weekends on the course or watching tournaments on TV, I think he can relate. For others struggling with this generational gap, just try to cater to their obsessions or hobbies. Most people have one or two. Thanks for an inspiring article,"

"at article, and I agree completely. And you skeptics, you're thinking in American terms. This would be, and probably is right now, possible in smaller, more technologically developed nations. Not trying to hate on the US here, it's just that 100 mbit connections are commonplace in alot of smaller European nations - the same goes for Japan and South Korea. The latter actually have 1 gbit connections more or less everywhere, and most new houses are built with 1 gbit fiber connections for a measly fee. Bandwidth caps are also mostly a US/UK thing for some reason. With a nation so large and with infrastructure so spread out as the US though, the problem you point out is valid. I would however think that this will be fixed in less then 10 years. 25 years is an absolutely huge timeframe at the rate technology, and in particular, the internet, is evo"

"haps I should add that I really, really wanted Loghain dead. First I was conflicted, since he really looked like he was pleading for his life, and well, that was quite horrible. But then Alistair threw one of his patented tantrums and I just had a hard time betraying him. So pop goes Loghains"

"as yourself, was playing as good for the most part. But when it came to it, I just couldn't let that treacherous bitch become queen. So I let Loghain kneel, and chopped his head off. His blood splattered on his daughter so she turned away from the camera. I normally play as the good guy and can't stand myself as evil, but I started laughing ALOT when the blood hit Anora, and the humiliation was final when her own guards took her to imprison her in a tower. Amazing seq"

"otally get your point, and of course I agree. I don't really see why people care at all what others think of them or their opinions, but it's a very human and natural thing to do. Lots of people need to stop caring about what other people think however, and focus on the good, or just plain important, things in life. This goes for the meaningless quest of always being right in everything as well. Just stop it. Being wrong isn't equal to being stupid -- it's what being human is all about. Sorry about your friend,"

"lly nice article. I tried the demo a couple of weeks ago, but really, I couldn't figure it out. My trade was hardly working at all, it seemed like however much I ever grew stuff no one would buy it. So I got pretty frustrated. The Create-a-dictator feature is hilarious though, I named mine Fascisto el Macho, a man who loved his booze, hated religion, and had special ops troops pretty much every"

"lip: That was fixed before your comment :) Kevin: Perhaps I should have made it more clear that I meant when you shoot your weapon, it can sound fairly weak. But when you do get shot at, by enemies, and bullets fly past you, you really get scared and immersed, and want to duck for cover. Hardcore is the top difficulty level, and Experienced is the one before that. Hardcore has no checkpoints what so ever, and I wasn't feeling that masochistic that I would go test that out, so I went for the compr"
