About Me
Gamer, cyberculturist, general computer person, rid with wanderlust, a naturalist, idealist, looking to read more books, learn more about the world and play more good games!

Favorite console: N64, with SNES coming a close second.
Owner of: a good gaming PC (freshly home-made!), Wii, DS (which has a broken R button!!), Xbox 360 (premium, got it for just 120 euros! Rumours say it was an expo piece, but I still haven't found anything worth showcasing on it) and a PS2.
Looks for in games: innovation in music, graphics and gameplay mechanics (which often make a game as close to art as currently possible), character, how high they rank on the how-many-bodily-needs-can-I-neglect-so-I-can-keep-playing meter and how self-aware the game actually is. Few storylines impress me so I'm more of a gameplay-above-all person, but I haven't really played many story-driven games.
Favourite franchises and games: Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Tetris, Civilization, SimCity, Donkey Kong Country, Hexic, Banjo-Kazooie, Europa Universalis, Star Fox, Pokemon, Katamari Damacy, Portal, E4, Geometry Wars, Final Fantasy, Golden Sun, (from the top of my head).

Other general information: Half greek and half australian, very soon to be 19 years old, studying Cultural Technology in Lesbos, Greece (grew up in Athens), I take life seriously the fun way... or is it, taking life lightly the serious way? Eh, you get the picture!

I maintain a more personal blog right here: www.cubimension.net.

EA deleting negative comments on Amazon.co.uk Spore page?
Cubilone | 9:07 AM on 06.28.2008 4 comments


I saw something that really concerns me:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/forum/cd/discussion.html/ref=cm_cd_NOREF/ref=cm_cd_dp_tft_tp?ie=UTF8&cdForum=Fx339XNA9CI9XXG&asin=B000FN7K2S&store=videogames&cdThread=Tx29XPH554SZ6HS

EA is apparently erasing comments that have to do with the notorious DRM of the game (3 installations) etc. This has never happened before. It's SCANDALOUS! EA is seriously pushing great barriers here, but people are supporting them! Something has to be done.

Jesus... it's much more probable that Amazon deleted the previews, likely because they were full of tinfoil hat nonsense. Unless you think EA magically has supreme power over the largest online retailer on the internet.

Read: Amazon has never done something like it before. If it did it now, what's kept them from erasing every negative comment ever submitted all these years? And nonsense? Why nonsense? It is a real problem.
